Fuck I really want an open source Wii U emulator, but almost all the games have been or are getting ported to Switch, so there'll be less demand. It was already shit compared to Cemu, now it's probably dead. Emulating Splatoon on Lakka never ever I guess. I wish they'd ported Splatoon too, I hate the sequel.

Yes, RetroArch comes with emulators (you can also get it without emulator "cores" and install or uninstall them individually within RetroArch), including a Dolphin core for Wii and PPSSPP core for PSP emulation. For PS2, you'll want a separate emulator, PCSX2. Vita emulation, sadly, is at a very preliminary stage.
Also, OP should've included a link to our wiki, which gives an excellent relatively recent overview of most platforms and emulators:

>We want it to resemble a game console environment, not a UI for a PC game. At no point in time do we want to break this illusion.

>Doing it the way PC games do it or Steam is stupid and retarded, and I will forever claim that. I want a console game machine-like experience, and not to get the feeling I'm just sitting behind a desktop computer.

Don't know what to tell you, I always use Retroarch with a controller in my hands and often when I configure something, it isn't much to do anyways.
Not really sure how something can take minutes instead of seconds.
What does annoy me a bit is that the right facebutton (A on SNES, O on Dualshock) has its functionality from Accept/Confirm switched with the lower button (B SNES, X DS) to Cancel/Back. Also for some reason it doesn't fetch the cores and their updates anymore even though the URL in the config file is correct.
I get the XMB UI reasoning though.

Why is that? I got a PSP game running and it works fine after getting some core thing from some github they linked to, since menus text input wouldn't show up otherwise. It seems to work fine now, though with frequent crashes when I switch between fullscreen and windowed. I also got a Wii game running, though it runs like garbage. Changing the resolution, behind some option I don't recall the name of, didn't seem to change the poor performance much. I assume that means it isn't that my computer is somehow too toaster to run a fucking Wii game, but rather that there is some sort of setting I need to mess with and/or the game running poorly to begin with. If you know something about this, I'd be grateful to hear it, because unfortunately I know practically nothing about all this newfangled nonsense.

Outside of a few exceptions (MT Angrylion w/ PJ64 or m64p/forked paraLLEl, RPCS3, maybe CEMU?), emulators are all about that beefy single thread performance, and unfortunately that's one category where AMD lags behind several years. The Ryzen 5 1600 for example, is about 10% slower in that category than a 3570k (mid-range intel cpu from 2012).

Depends entirely on the emulator and what you're doing in it, the benchmark in Dolphin will put it even lower than that (mainly because that fucking thing is so overtly intel biased it's not even funny) whereas the old PCSX2 bench would but it in the same ballpark as haswell clock to clock and CEMU will put it higher than a 4770k@4.2.

Was alright at first, minor slowdown in some open areas but then I hit 3 tracks in particular, had a crash on hardware rendering, switched to software rendering to fix it & had huge frame drops presumably due to fog and water/weather effects. Shame really I would have beaten his record if not for the frame drops and crashes.

This game looks simply gorgeous upscale. There are so many details going on in the city and everything seems to be very organic. Never saw something similar on newer consoles.

>Why is nobody playing this? It is a good game!
I remember recommending the first game to couple of anons here, but they were quickly put off by the very lengthy introduction.
If you haven't played the first one, you're certainly not going to bother with the second.
It's a shame, but that's the way it is.
On a side note, Squeenix announced some kind of a port/remaster/remake/rewhatever a few months ago, so maybe something good will come out of that.

To be honest the first game isn't nearly as good as the second, i'd even say that it isn't good at all, that's why most people are put off the franchise after playing the first game and getting bored to tears on the first chapter; 1 plays like ass, has some really terrible 90's anime voice acting (70% of the cast is from pokemon even), you can overpower everything with magic staffs (you get a shit ton of really powerful ones early on, like the unicorn horn, but they break if you attack with them…so you just cast spells from the menu which doesn't count as attacking, and finish off melee combos from your other einherjar with a soul crush from lyseria and do 20x the damage of even your strongest heavy warrior with might reinforce), has some absurd requirements for the good ending, getting some einherjar is a pain in the ass, playing on normal or easy means you'll fuck yourself out of tons of experience, weapons, characters and 3 dungeons so normal/easy is ironically harder than hard mode, the seraphic gate is a mess, the midgame boss (dipan's king, forgot his name) is complete bullshit and loki, the optional true final boss, is a complete joke.
It has some really beautiful prerendered backgrounds and sprite work, and the PS1 cover art and manual are pretty, but that's it, i wouldn't play this game unless you liked the second one, personally i only played it because i found the PSP copy for 5 bucks on a pawnshop and i just can't say no to cheap vidya, 2 was a game i actually researched and bought because i liked it.
2 meanwhile revamped the combat system to play more like some sort of brawler/fighting game. you can dash around the arena, timing matters, some moves can chain into others, you can chain attacks from light warriors with attacks from archers/heavy warriors, bouncing enemies rewards you with more attacks, break mode lets you go apeshit since it gives you infinite attacks and lets you cancel moves into others/each other for as long as it lasts, you can break off individual parts and it actually fucking matters since enemies with no legs or arms can't move or attack, decapitation kills, breaking horns and cutting wings and tails cripples, even breaking pieces of armor reduces defense, attacking from the back doubles damage, the einherjars are a lot more easy to recruit and you can choose which ones you want, the "turn enemies into crystals" mechanic actually gets some use in the main game and some of the seraphic gate puzzles involving this are fun and creative, there's a lot more enemy variation and the 3D setting means that fighting a dragon actually feels like fighing a gigantic beast, not just another slightly bigger pixelshit monster who attacks just like any other mook, learnable skills and items with skills means you can break the game in half if you so wish, the bosses are all fair, seraphic gate gives you new characters with unique moves (freya has chun li's attacks, teleports and lasers, brahm jumps all over the fucking place, can launch with uppercuts and vomits blood, hrist is the only one who uses a spear) for you to play around and most importantly the game has an undub so you don't have to listen to the cartel of the japanese PS2 game era.

I actually never completely finished 2, although I did play a lot of it, so now I'm going to finally remedy that.
Compared to 1, the second game is full of detail (imagine my surprise when I found out that you can tear the abdomen of an enemy or cleave the arm he holds his weapon in) and you can skip the power attacks which makes the combat a lot smoother.
The first game on the other hand has very slow battles made worse by having to wait for every special attack to finish and many of those are made completely redundant thanks to the first aid skill.
I agree with what you're said about it, but in its defence however, I'd say that it has one of the best vidya OSTs, does not demand grinding (you can finish each dungeon once and move on), the premise of collecting souls and shaping them into worthy einherjar is executed well and the progression between the chapters is decent.
It also has a fantastic atmosphere. The good ending being practically impossible to get without a guide is some top tier bullshit though.

Get to it, it is one of the best JRPGs i've played, the story is kinda bad, yes, but the gameplay is top notch, triAce's best work for sure.
>does not demand grinding (you can finish each dungeon once and move on)
Not if you play on hard and go for the best ending, you're gonna have to grind a bit just to fill up your experience orb, some einherjar benefit from higher stats and having certain attacks from the get go, this way you can turn lyseria into a murder goddess the very moment you get her, and sending characters to valhalla is less of a chore because you don't have to suffer a thousand battles with them, just pump them full of experience, patch up their stats with good equipment, send them off and get a nice item in return.
>It also has a fantastic atmosphere.
Not really, it's all ruins.
>The good ending being practically impossible to get without a guide is some top tier bullshit though.
Don't even remind me, if you send the wrong character you get locked out of the good ending, and even if you do pick the right one, get him to the required level and send him with the right equipment you can still fail because his hero rating is too low/high, needing you to equip him with angel lips or some other item, they also never tell you that lyseria is not required to be sent over (even though she fits the requirements of most chapters) and if you do send her you'll never get her back once you arrive on valhalla, she merely vanishes and it sucks because she's the best character in the game besides the obvious postgame ones.
>Did you play the DS game? How is that one?

The first two wipeout games get stuck on the first load screen because the music is in CDA stream, and can only be played when you either mount the rom in a virtual disc before playing, or by burning it into a CD.

All I really care about is seeing more of Alicia. It's great how even with the PS2 graphics you can tell which one is in "control" just by looking at her face.
The beginning of the game had me laughing for quite a bit.

But I'm actually surprised there haven't been that many cutscenes so far, which I think is odd for a JRPG.
Not that I'm complaining, but the one time I wouldn't mind seeing a character's face a bit more often, it doesn't happen.

somehow a fresh install of pcsxr is attempting to pull game specific mcd data that no longer exists. i dont even know how this can possibly happen. i kept the 7z file. completely removed the emulator. re-extracted it. and it still somehow looking for mcd data from the epsxe emulator.
this is driving me insane. also, from brief testing and following the links, this emulator looks like pixelated trash. but i'll figure that out afterwards.
does pcsxr keep some ini somewhere thats not in its directory that i need to wipe? i figured removing the entire application and reloading it from the original download would give me a nice "factory reset" but that's not the case apparently.

also, transferring over the memory using memcardrex doesnt seem to work, but i cant be sure if im even doing it right because simply accessing the empty memory cards makes the emulator freeze instead of just saying "no data found"
is this because i selected "per game mcd"? does that function not work on this emulator?

a2f9d2 No.15589272
>>15589135
Sadly not. Emulators like CEMU can share shader caches made by other players, between PCs (and between most versions of the emulator) with radically different configuration, because a special intermediate shader format is used. RPCS3 doesn't support this as such making cache sharing largely impractical, in part due to (blatantly unwarranted) legal paranoia on the part of the devs.

Unfortunately since every console made after the 6th generation uses a fully programmable shader modern, emulating any console made after is going to have to use a shader cache. Even the GameCube used partially programmable shaders but these are much smaller so you don't notice them compiling as much in Dolphin. There is actually advantages to this model, it makes developing accurate emulators much faster on the GPU part because you don't have to deal with weird proprietary APIs or shader languages anymore. OpenGL calls on modern consoles are the same as OpenGL calls on modern PCs.
a2f9d2 No.15589887
>>15589756
Dolphin is now a special case, since Flipper's shaders are simple enough that a performant realtime on-GPU interpreter (übershaders) was implemented.
Doing that for even the first gen of fully programmable pipelines would probably be too tall an order for today's most powerful GPUs though.
I can imagine other approaches, such as scripts that "pre-play" games to generate shader caches, or even explicit reverse engineering of games to extract the original shaders directly out of the ROM (similar to what was done for cart-based games that used add-in coprocessors to decompress assets, before emulation of those coprocessors existed).

The vita thread would have been a better place to ask, but it looks like that got bumped off. That depends on your budget and the area/sites you use to try and find one. The guaranteed way is to buy an unopened bundle from before 3.6, but those are disappearing by the day. Buying used ones online or in stores that don't explicitly say 3.6 are a gamble but will be cheaper most likely, just confirm with whoever you are dealing with that it is 3.6 or below.

Don't act like you didn't fuck the proverbial dog on making sure you didn't have a name visible in your own thread. And no, for once the mods weren't being faggots. This thread was on page 2 prior, and considering that this is still the early hours for burgerland, getting bumped a few times in the night is acceptable. Also still almost 120 posts to go until bump limit at that, so no, I would not call the thread dead yet. Especially when for troubleshooting, it can work in your favor that a question remains visible in a slowish thread for more eyes that might see it, as opposed to cuck/v/ speeds. A slow thread can have a value of its own, such as making the question you're asking visible for longer and to more potential eyes.
Now, I'm not sure when the last test for the game was (wiki does at least say the page for it was last updated in July), or if it is actually related to your problem, but I notice that both the NTSC-U and PAL versions of Dropship are listed as being broken emulated on Windows to begin with on the pcsx2 wiki (with other operating systems not having a status). I would recommend that, if you are trying to set up the emulator for the first time, you pick an initial game that actually can run properly with it to test with, and go from there. And maybe a low demand one, at that.

1.5 is great, you did good.
Don't use OpenGL though, that's just silly (my experience with it while emulating VP2 isn't all that great, it might need more tinkering).
I used to have the same problem as you do, these are my settings.
The only downside is that sometimes the lightning will completely disappear during a cutscene, so everything will look very bland and dark, but those moments are rare and last for a very short while.
Slight ghosting can also happen during some scenes, but since everything is in motion, it's not as noticeable. This would be an extreme example.
I'm not sure the presets do something good or not, but you can uncheck that box under "emulation" and set the speehacks yourself.
Just don't touch the cycle rates, it'll fuck up your framerate and audio.

Dolphin is far from perfect and outside of super mainstream releases games are full of issues. Dolphin devs fudge the numbers by listing every working game as working perfectly and with the issues only highlighted upon closer inspection.

Memory card files are universal stupid, or are you talking about savestates?

both.
id be happy if either worked.
memory card files are supposed to be universal, but when i put them on the other emulator, the whole thing crashes every time i try to load any data. its not that it says its empty, it just freezes the second i select a memory card.

Create a memcard with mednafen
Use one of the tools linked in the wiki to transfer the ePSXe save to your brand new memcard
Try loading it againagain
Could be ePSXe making malformed save only it can read for that game though so it might still crash if that's the case.

i think its because i use 1 memory card per game. i've previously tried everything you mentioned.

Why does every PS1 emulator have significant input lag? Every one of them! epsxe, psxfin, pcsx-r, bizhawk, all of them. Is nobody else concerned by this?
8bba25 No.15630415
>>15630349
It depends on your refresh rate, which should ideally be the same as the game, if you have vsync turned on in the emulator or vsync and buffering on your graphics drivers, the rate of input polling set on your system, what controller you're using and if the drivers for that are causing lag, if you're playing in fullscreen or windowed, if you're using Windows 8, 10, or 7 with the crappy aero shit turned on which causes a ton of input lag.

60hz
No vsync either on the emulator or graphics drivers.
Logitech Rumblepad 2, I use it for other games with zero latency.
Windowed mode.
Windows 10, no aero shit.
8bba25 No.15630433
If you're using a keyboard or a controller varies the amount of lag. Some emulators have more input lag inherently, like Nestopia for example. Retroarch is typically pretty good with input lag. If you're using an LCD make sure all that overdrive shit and extra processing is turned off.
8bba25 No.15630442
>>15630426
Fullscreen typically has less input lag for most emulators. Also note a lot of PS1 games have some amount of input lag because of the way processing is handled. Old versions of SDL used by the emulator would cause keyboard lag. Try Retroarch and see how you fare.

Alright, Retroarch does a better job. The input lag isn't as bad but it is still present and noticeable.

The internal emulators get good performance but are no more accurate since they're software and can't get around not having the original hardware.
If you're willing to buy a console to play PS1 games then get a PS1 and chip it for the PSIO, which is an accessory that lets you load isos from an SD card.

Just use unirom instead, much cheaper and actually in possible to come by. Most PS2s have PS1 hardware on them and the best models have incompatible games in the teens (between 13 and 17 out of 2500ish)

Mednafen for compatibility and general use, or PCSX-R if you really need upscaled 3D. Ignore any other suggestions.

I appreciate the assistance but none of the options seem to make any difference, no matter what combination I use.

Everything is at defaults except the required settings.
I already got Demons Souls to run on older versions just fine. Same settings with new ones though and it just does not run.
i5 2300, gtx1050, 16gb ram.
The game starts up, runs for a minute and then just freezes or crashes rpcs3.

Seems like Legend of Legaia is lagging on ePSXe and crashing on PCSX. Are there any other PS1 emulators that can run games without the lag and the snag?

There is a switch emulator progressing pretty fast by the way. Excuse the youtube link, but I can't be arsed to convert it into a webm or use whatever.

For pkgs I guess everybody uses psndl which afaik has ddl links for the entire ps3 psn library.
But for disc titles, I second your question. I'd also love to know a decent source for PS3 isos with good links, either some decent host like Google Drive or torrents.
I guess most use Nicoblog, but almost all games on Nicoblog are MEGA links. MEGA gives a 100 ~ 300 MB daily quota for my country / ISP and my ISP gives me a static IP address so no way around that. None of the free VPNs I've tried worked well because MEGA apparently realizes that the ip address comes from a VPN service and gives them ridiculous quotas as well. Seriously, I hate that faggots still insist on using this cancerous host, Kim Dotcom himself has nothing to do with them anymore and recommends people to not use it.

I've finally been checking out on PS3 emulation with RPCS3 this past week. Tested about 20 games, being careful to check the compatibility list and only get games marked green / playable, minus a couple of exceptions marked as ingame that I wanted to try anyways.
I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed, and PS3 emulation seems to be in a much worse state than I expected based on what quite a few faggots have been posting around here. Of course I wasn't expecting Dolphin, Cemu or even PCSX2 tier, but based on a few posters around here you'd be inclined to believe it's currently on the same state Dreamcast emulation was a few years ago.
Almost all games I tested currently have serious issues and while they can be playable, it's far from an enjoyable experience - lots of bugs, glitches and random instability (I didn't have much problems performance wise btw, on my PC most games ran at 30+ fps with quite a few getting stable 60 fps). Most games will freeze or crash randomly after 15 to 30 minutes of play time, the only titles that I didn't experience any crashes or freezes were Dragon's Crown, Daytona USA and Nier. A couple of the worst were God of War Chains of Olympus HD (freezes every 15 ~ 20 minutes of play time or so) and Wangan Midnight (crashes about every 2 or 3 races, though to be fair the latter is marked as "ingame" and not playable on the compatibility list).
Before anyone asks, I've been using the safest / default settings (such as 720p without upscale), and only changing the settings required to get the games working.
Speaking of which, browsing the forums I've noticed RPCS3's compatibility list has a pretty lax criteria to classify a game as green / playable (the highest rating). If the game can be played to the end it's marked as playable, even if it's running at 15 fps, crashing every 30 minutes and full of graphics glitches and sound stuttering. So discretion is advised when browsing the list to find which games actually work.
RPCS3's compatibility list is also outdated af, since apparently the builds from the last few months made tons of regressions that have not been fixed yet. Many games that are marked as playable actually will not get past the intro or won't even boot in the latest builds, and the compatibility list haven't been updated - some games marked as working have been broken since last year.
Just wanted to leave this post as a warning if some anon haven't tried PS3 emulation yet, lower your expectations or wait another year or 2.

>>15639100
Yep, looks like I didn't choose a good time to get into PS3 emulation. Apparently the latest builds are completely fucked, though by "latest" it seems to be since may or june so I don't know how long it'll take for them to unfuck it.
>>15616337
>Their benchmarking process is list games as working if they get to the first playable scene and nothing past that.
Well apparently RPCS3 devs have been doing the same shit with their compatibility list.

Thanks for the suggestion anon, i got Mednafen, picked up Brigandine Grand Edition, patched to english and enjoyed the most fun match i ever had, I never finished a hard match when i was a kid, now i did and it was fucking great. One day i will make the spiritual successor to Brigandine.
I just wish the enemies scaled in the end, the last turns were too easy until i got to the Serpent of Chaos, that fucker almost fucked my ass
