Emulation central - recommendations in 1st post

Fucking hell.
Auto-Updated to new retroarch mednafen-psx core (0.9.38.6).
Too bad that it looks borked (disc swap doesnt work, it worked fine in earlier version 0.9.36.5).
Does any of you know a place where old cores can be found?

*Edit

Had to import CD1 memory save to epsxe, switch discs and export CD2 memcard to Retroarch.
Fucking newshit all-in-one coders.

 

[spekkio]

Updating the retroarch.exe to the newshit version fixed the above problem (disc changing works).

"Select from collection"? The fuck is this shit?

 

[No Great Name]

Is it worth updating retroarch from 1.2?

 

[A user named cat]

Here's 0.9.36.5 Mednafen PSX core if you run into any more issues with latest version.

BROS HERE ISA THE SETUP NOW

I ran into an annoying bug on Retroarch for Android devices, the menus disappear if you scroll down. This didn't happen with the previous release. Apparently it's a DPI thing, but I can't fix it if I can't see the DPI menu in the first place

New open source sega genesis emulator:
http://rhope.retrodev.com/files/blastem_changes.html#v0.3.0

What advantages does it have over GenesisGX or Picodrive?

 

[Karwelas]

I don't know if it is official info, but just found it... well, 4chan. But still, interesting.

Stop!
Waifutime!

I guess it's git pull time just to see it run like shit at 0.5 fps

 

[spekkio]

Fraps shows 2-3 FPS, but IMO it's bullshit.

 

[SCO]

You have a vastly better computer than mine thou.

 

[spekkio]

Anyway, it's 101% unplayable ATM.

 

[Athelas]

Those characters don't have feet, the emulator must be glitchy.

It looks like Pcsx2's Software Renderer has been inclined (fixes SH3, Haunting Ground):

New SVNs of Dolphin are telling me MSVCP140.dll is missing. I know new SVNs of Dolphin have moved to Visual Studio 2015 and I need the redestibutatable, but I've already installed it. Any idea what the problem is?

They might have done something weird and it's not looking in your path for some reason. Try copying the dll into the same folder the exe is in.

 

[deuxhero]

I guessed that might be the reason (I've changed as many paths as possible away from my boot drive... and MANY games STILL insist on saving to c: ), but I have no idea where the redistributable actually installed to

I would ask this on the bug tracker, but it refuses to send registration email (tried multiple addresses).

 

[SCO]

there are two bug trackers, the old, disabled and read only google code one and a new one on their own server.

It should be in your Windows directory. I think probably a 32bit version somewhere in Windows/system32 and the 64bit one in Windows/syswow64

For anybody interested PPSSPP 1.1 is now available!:

What's new in 1.1

• Support for ARM64 on Android, for improved performance on new devices. Has some new optimizations.
• Support Android TV, like nVidia Shield TV
• Screen rotation on PC, useful for vertical games like Star Soldier
• Many minor performance improvements and compatibility bug fixes
• GPU emulation fixes like correct depth rounding, fixing text in Phantasy Star
• Other graphical fixes like UV rotation
• Support savestates for homebrew apps
• Simple integrated "Homebrew Store" to download PSP homebrew apps
• Minor AdHoc multiplayer improvements. Still many issues left.
• Disable a dangerous optimization on ARM, causing walk-through-walls in Tenchu
• sceAtrac music compatibility fixes, fixing noise in a few games
• Better texture scaling performance
• Direct3D closer in features to OpenGL
• Works better on BSD operating systems
• Savedata management UI

And it looks like that RPCS3 is not dead and has finally released a version on github:
https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/releases/tag/v0.0.0.6
Don't get your hopes up only 3 games are barely playable:
http://www.emunewz.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=195
But it is nice to know that the project is not dead and that they are still working on it.

Checking that directory shows it is indeed present on c/windows/syswow64. No idea what Dolphin is giving fits about

edit: copy pasting them into dolphin folder makes it work. No idea.

there are two bug trackers, the old, disabled and read only google code one and a new one on their own server.

I tried the new one linked in the latest blog.

edit: As I go to test something my controller has suddenly started showing as port 2, making all the binds I've made for everything ever invalid. How do I fix this with the xinput wraper?

edit 2: I've "fixed" it by uninstall/installing the newest version, but there has to be a better way.

Updated PPSSPP, still no Kenka Bancho 3. Forcing the clock to 222 and simulating UMD delays (which fixed the problems on original hardware) only makes for a soft crash (black screen you can quit to menu from instead of killing the entire emulator).

Also PPSSPP really needs to have a "PPSSPP config found in my documents, use it?" when starting a new version. Shouldn't have to go through and set that every time.

 

[yes plz]

Does SMT: Nocturne work well on PCSX2 yet? I remember it having various graphical glitches.

For nocturne check this page and try the fixes:

And it looks like a early version wii-u emulator has been released:
http://gbatemp.net/threads/release-cemu-wii-u-emulator.399524/
Shame its closed source but maybe in the future it will be open source like dolphin.
Shame the only game i am interested for wii-u is hyrule warriors.
