/v/ - Video Games

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.

anyone here?

>>15564992

Council of evil.

I'd like to emulate Fire Emblem 6 on my 3DS but I can't get my custom made .cia to work. I can find a working and english translated FE6 .cia if I google but it comes with an outdated translation ( http://www.romhacking.net/translations/854/ ). I want to make a .cia with a newer translation ( http://www.romhacking.net/translations/2511/ ) but I just can't get it to work on my 3DS.

Downloading some DS roms right now. Figure I'll just play them on an emulator unless I can put them on a memory card and play them right from my 3ds.

By the way, does anybody know the name of a Bomberman game featuring pets? I know it's not Tournament, the graphics were too good for that. The cutscenes had 3D images. You combined one pet with another to get a better pet. Just hoping to find it a little faster, it originally belongef to a buddy of mine, so I never got to finish it.

REMINDER RETROARCH FINALLY HAS A WIMP GUI

Also, the convoluted library/playlist/filebrowser/RetroPad nonsense can now be completely bypassed.

>>15564959

You joke about this but if a Northern African country decided to host servers with pirate shit on it imagine how much dosh they'd be able to make.

>DS free look

This is nice, but how many DS games modeled pantsu?

Still waiting on that workable OG xbox emulator that doesn’t require a state of the art computer.

>>15565388

Not going to happen for at least 5 more years probably and by that point PC as a platform will be fucked beyond repair thanks to Windows 10, Mac and Linux having pozz and the hardware manufacturers going along with whatever Microsoft wants

>>15565397

I wouldn't be that cynical. A lot of XBox games are already 100% playable, and rapid progress is being made on what's left. The biggest letdown right now is 360 emulation, ironic, given the fact that Xenia was the emulator that completely blew away preconceptions about 7th-gen being unattainable when it was first revealed.

>>15565274

>PPSSPP for its polish. Works right out the box like it's running on black magic.

this, holy shit it's unreal, you just fucking install it pop a game in and it just works smooth as baby's ass cheeks, I was considering donating, are the devs fags?

>>15565454

>are the devs fags?

>Kavanaugh Confirmed Edition

Is this relevant to (((copyright))) somehow or are you just saying that?

>>15565463

could you kindly provide a source?

>>15565454

>are the devs fags?

It's an emulator the answer is always yes in that case.

>>15565538

Who cares? As long as they keep their nose to the grindstone on coding, and keep their front-holes out of my face, that's all that matters.

I haven't been emulating things since NES and SNES stuff at around the turn of the millennium. I have no idea what's what today, so if someone could spoonfeed me, I'd be happy.

Where do I start? Does that retroarch thing that was posted earlier come with emulators, or will I need to find those myself? I'm looking mostly for PS2, Wii and PSP stuff, I guess. Is Vita emulation in a good state?

>>15565454

The primary contributor (henrik) is a dude with cancer who is close friends with squarepusher (head of libretro) who fucking hates trannies and niggers, so I think you're safe.

>>15565274

>PPSSPP for its polish. Works right out the box like it's running on black magic.

Seconded for its multi-platform support. It has a fucking Wii U port for christ's sake.

>>15565573

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:

http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page

>>15565683

PPSSPP has hrydgard as the founder and one of the main contributor of the project, he also started Dolphin years ago but quit since.

Guy has cancer and is all around a pretty cool guy, probably the only person that's not a completely whackjob in the emulation scene.

I dunno about other devs but it honestly wouldn't surprise me if they were fucked in the head

I mean to put things into perspective here's another emudev, and as bad as he seems the majority of people in htat scene are equally fucked in the head in various ways.

>why are people who pour enormous amounts of laborious reverse-engineering and specialized technical education into a borderline-criminal hobby for free so leeches can play old vidya insane

>>15565736

Reverse engineering and coding have autism as a prerequisite.

Autism leads to manchildrens or trannies.

>>15565764

>Autism isn't real

If it is't real why do I have it?

>>15565764

I'm not saying the current legal situation toward emulation is right, but that's how things are. If you engage in an activity that causes you to be hounded by lawyers when those same skills could be put to use for The Man in a high-paying job that wins mainstream prestige, you are a contrarian autist, plain and simple. Reasonable times, unreasonable men, etc.

>leeches

Be honest, if things were the same as the 1980s, and most PC owners ACTUALLY PROGRAMMED, how different would things be? What if the majority of people whining about open source projects they use as a cheap substitute for commercial products ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTED to them, how much faster would this go? Even sharing ROMs, what if the majority of the people now begging for ROMs and whining about normalfag sites being shut down, actually seeded goodsets?

>>15565721

>staplebutter

https://tilde.town/~staplebutter/databotte.html

>>15565792

Actually nobody will bother you unless you include copyrighted contents in your emulator orr you're dealing with Fatlus, on the contrary you can end up with a high paying job just because of that, see cottonvibes or anyone who tried to emulate iDevices.

See CEMU

>>15565744

>borderline-criminal hobby for free so leeches can play old vidya insane

well, this is some fucked up text right here.

Citra, yay or nay?

>>15565979

It got way better.

Yuzu still sucks 1000 cocks with anything that isn't homebrew though.

>>15566004

>Yuzu still sucks 1000 cocks

Yuzu is still a very young project so it's not surprising, still went from nearly nothing at sub 1fps to rendering 3D at 30-50fps in a couple month.

>>15565979

>>15565811

Sellouts, just like Connectix with Sony & M$. The point is that actually reverse-engineering, developing, debugging, and maintaining an emulator over the years requires a particular strain of contrarianism.

I'm not seeing it.

>>15565145

Pretty good and easy to navigate with a controller.

>achievements in old games thanks to retroarch and retroachievements

But why do they look so bad? It's just plain text; with that PS3 UI look, maybe the achievements need to look like the PS3. Any way this will be do some day?

Splatoon 2 is literally the exact same game just with more character customization and waifus.

>>15565573

>I'm looking mostly for PS2, Wii and PSP stuff

You're better off with the standalone emus (PCSX2, Dolphin, and PPSSPP) than using RA cores for those systems.

>Is Vita emulation in a good state?

HAHA

NO

>>15565017

If you have a n3ds try one of the retroarch gba forwarders.

You could also try the Ultimate 3ds Injector and/or the standalone GBA injector.

>>15566288

>Never in a million years would I have imagined it's the result of Nintoddler autists who actually DID THIS ON PURPOSE:

Wait, what makes him a Nintentoddler? Wouldn't they use something resembling to what Nintendo used?

>>using an inherently suboptimal input device for non-gaming tasks, even convoluted garbage that causes seconds-long tasks to take minutes is "pretty good"

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.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think "Fuck WIMP", I just understand it

the only game worth playing on n64

>>15566360

I am using the Ultimate GBA VC Injector for 3DS 1.6b to create the .cia. I can install it just fine using FBI but running the game just throws me an error that forces me to power off the console.

How the fuck do I eliminate the incessant crackling sounds with Mario64 in retroarch(The github says to mess with the framerate which didn't work).

I am running on Linux with ALSA if that helps.

I also tried mupen64 by itself but the screen keeps flickering with that version

>>15566389

Can't you just run the game through an emulator and save yourself the hassle?

>>15566313

>You're better off with the standalone emus (PCSX2, Dolphin, and PPSSPP) than using RA cores for those systems.

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.

>>15566362

>Wait, what makes him a Nintentoddler?

Because of his perverse obsession with Virtual Console

>Not really sure how something can take minutes instead of seconds.

Navigating directories, remapping and testing controls, shuffling items between lists, overviewing and altering settings. Mouse & keyboard WIMP were designed specifically for such tasks, gamepads aren't.

>>15566662

Post games and PC specs

>>15566288

Do they still use that retarded system where you map buttons on your real controller to a virtual controller with different button names, then map buttons on the virtual controller to the inputs for every individual system?

>>15566442

>crackling

Your cpu isn't fast enough to maintain 100% speed with software rendering.

>>15566662

Retroarch/Libretro cores aren't updated and maintained as often or as efficiently as the standalone emulators for those specific consoles. You'll often get better results in terms of both performance and accuracy by using standalones.

>>15566445

I can. But I like playing games in bed, and a 3ds beats a notebook in terms of comfiness. I don't like emulating on phones

>>15567062

I meant an emulator ON the 3DS unless you don't have CFW, in that case go install it

>>15567072

OH. I do have CFW, it's just pretty outdated. I haven't updated shit since 1.3 before that pedo fiasco occurred. I tried to emulate WSC once and the quality was atrocious so I just thought every non VC emulator would be equally bad.

Too bad the Gamecube controller rumble doesn't work outside of dolphin. I feel I'm missing out of N64 games without rumble.

Do all bluetooth dongles have input lag? I don't want to ruin my controllers battery leaving it plugged in.

>>15564692

I feel the exact same way. I hate remasters and remakes but I'd pay for a proper remaster several years down the line. Splatoon 1 is my favorite recent game and I'll forever hate Splatoon 2.

>>15566296

Wrong, Splatoon 2 is irredeemable shit, shit music, some of it's ok, splatfest music is rad shit maps, edgelord clothing shit waifus. I spent more time playing squid beats than the actual game. Splatoon 1 is a masterpiece I'd love to see the game live on with dedicated servers and custom splatfests.

>>15567072

You better hope it's a new 3DS because the homebrew scene doesn't optimize anything on the older models worth a fuck. VC injects are the way to go otherwise.

Is there any way to emulate light guns?

>>15567437

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).

N64 emulation in general with software rendering is fucked, and even an 8700k can't maintain every game at 100%.

>>15568575

>m64p/forked paraLLEl

>N64 emulation in general with software rendering is fucked, and even an 8700k can't maintain every game at 100%.

Whatever happened to LibRetro's Vulkan paraLLEl plugin? It still seems to be present in the latest RetroArch, but looking at its project page, I don't think it's actually being updated anymore.

>>15568331

Aside from the obvious "use a Wiimote", there are a number of modern lightguns that work on non-CRTs, e.g.:

http://light-gun.blogspot.com/p/list-of-light-guns.html

>>15568686

In typical open source fashion, Themaister either hit a road block, or just tired of it. I don't hold it against him, but it's still disappointing nonetheless.

>>15568575

> 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.

All 3 of those benches use less than 4 cores too so it's not a question of moar cores.

>>15568686

Dev ragequitted because the users whined too much, fixing it is a major endeavor (as in rewrite most of it, and that's provided you understand what the fuck was being done in the first place) and even then it will always have massive bottlenecks due to what it tries to do with your GPU.

>>15568693

And they're all overpriced Wiimotes,

does anyone know how to fix my n64 emulator (1964) so that it doesnt get slow as fuck around explosions, smoke, or glass?

i've tried fucking with settings but nothing i do seems to help.

>>15565979

Citra for me improved significantly in the past weeks alone. Went from running Pokemon Sun in 3x resolution barely holding 100% (with a 1080) to 10x resolution without breaking a sweat now.

>>15565721

>>15565798

holy shit tilde.town what a cesspool of "woe-is-me-because-i'm-a-tranny-fuck-cis-whites"

Emulated Start wars: Racer Revenge using PCSX2 recently in an attempt to see if it was speedrun viable on emulator so as to steal my buds shitty world record without re-buying a console.

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.

>>15570164

What's weaker, a potato or a toaster?

>>15566282

It gives more incentive to do things in the game than nothing.

>>15570432

I think the general conventions are that toaster=a machine that was mid to high-end 10 years ago but is weak now while potato=a low end machine from 10 years ago that's just barely usable for modern shit now. So in that sense potatos are weaker

Stop giving these fucks any money

I've been getting into arcade emulation with MAME. What are some games you guys would recommend? Preferably shmups.

>>15572296

>I get some weird slowdowns every now and then.

VP2 is just one of those games that has insane requirements.

>>15570164

>Valkyrie Profile 2.

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. What i find very strange is that almost non walkthrough exist on pcsx2, just a few videos showing how good it looks on pcsx2 but thats it. Why is nobody playing this? It is a good game!

>>15570536

If the game itself isn't incentive enough for you to want to see more of it, then the game is just boring and cheevos are a generic band-aid that will not solve the problem.

What is a good snes emulator? I have tried about 7 and six of them were broken. When one finally worked, I only found out later that all my save files and save states were wiped out upon restarting.

>>15573233

Snes9x

>>15573233

SNES9X is the most polished, comfortable, and mature IMHO. Higan is the most accurate, if you're playing one of the few more problematic games and have a powerful machine.

>>15572999

>I actually never completely finished 2, although I did play a lot of it, so now I'm going to finally remedy that.

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?

It's in my backlog, but i don't think i'll ever play it, i don't like fire emblem and games like it.

>>15573052

Agreed, but this game always pops up whenever people talk about hiden jems, and people who look up those kinda games aren't your average fortshite-playing normalfag.

>What are your thoughts on the third game?

The premise is kinda cool, and the protagonist does sacrifice his childhood friend in the beginning just to get an einherjar, but fuck turn based tactic games, they're a chore.

>>15573053

You have to press start and lenneth will start "hearing voices from the dead" aka all the available dungeons with souls in them get marked on your map, you have to start with the tutorial dungeon though.

>>15574586

I set up kaillera a month ago for ePSXe and Mupen64. It was a pain in the ass for really trivial reasons (like having to delete the .net file every time the emulator stops, or else it will desync at launch, shit like that), and that's the type of stuff no normalfaggot would ever deal with. Hell, to them, pressing more than one button to install a game is too much effort. It's probably why Nintendo thinks the online NES games thing is a good idea, frankly.

>>15574611

>and that's the type of stuff no normalfaggot would ever deal with

I was using project64k online in 2009 and it was rather active back then. People do use it. And yes, it is a huge struggle.

>>15574586

>>15573471

What emu?

>>15573233

SNES9X really is the best middle ground as far as compatibility, accuracy, and usability is concerned. If you are autistic about accuracy and have a decent machine, then Higan is best just remember Byuu is a giant faggot.

>>15574853

>remember {Insert name of emulator developer} is a giant faggot.

>>15574894

I'd say mednaffe

>>15574984

Exactly as you guessed, it was the first one I tried and it worked well enough for me not to bother trying out the others

>>15573471

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.

The latest version of ePSXe SPU audio core fixed that and runs the games normally. It's not the games that are fucked, it's dependent on the audio plugin you use.

>>15575213

PEOpS audio driver in PCSXR loads it fine for me as well. I don't know what that anon's issue is unless he's using some outdated plugin, a faulty core, or some highly inaccurate trash like pSX .

Does anyone else feel some input delay on Super Mario World? I'm using snes9x.

>>15575760

Super mario world does have a 2-frame IIRC input delay on original hardware , but you can use retroarch's new run-ahead feature to remove it. Was testing it yesterday and it really makes a difference

i found this forum post

>missing dll

not off to a great start… had to install c++ redist 3x just to get the emulator to run.

>>15583832

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.

>>15582937

what am i supposed to choose as the graphics plugin? the gl2? or the gl2 tweak?

is there a way to make this emulator not sound like echoing ear rape?

>>15582937

also, is there a way to not have textures flying in every direction, disappearing, showing inverse colors, and producing garbage all over the screen?

this emulator at its base, assuming the file i have is a new/stable build, since this emulator seems to be dead. adding pgxp and petes ogl2 tweak makes everything completely insane with garbage and glitches all over the screen.

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?

is everything fucked up because im using the simulated bios instead of loading my own bios?

ive done alot of emulation in my time, and never have i seen such a clusterfuck of an emulator.

Best set up for psx emulation

>>15587300

Depends.

>>15587309

on what exactly? from what I've read med is better for 2d and pcsx for 3d, is that correct? also what about saturn emulation, do I use mednafen or ssf?

Couldn't tell you. I know ryphecha was making great progress on SS emulation before (she?) started doing paid "consulting" work for polymega and stopped working on mednafen.

>>15587405

I see, thanks anon

>polymega and stopped working on mednafen.

that's a shame, what the fuck is polymega?

>>15589145

that better be a joke

>>15589155

It is. Are you using async shader recompilation?

>>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.

>>15589135

>>15589272

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.

>>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).

Has anyone else played Waluigi's wadventure?

It has some of the best level design I've seen in rom hacks.

>What are you emulating?

A bunch of GBA Castlevania games and Parasite Eve on Mednafen because it's October along with Ace Combat 1-3, Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter and Ace Combat 4 and 5 on PCSX2, Resident Evil REmake and the two Metroid Prime games on Dolphin.

>What is all time best emulator?

Objectively PPSSPP, but in my opinion, Mednafen. It allows me to use only one program to emulate most 4th and 5th gen systems which is amazing to me,

>Scannline yes or no?

No.

I like Alicia though and I'm a burger. Some people just have shit taste and don't want to admit it.

Which is the best og Xbox emulator?

Where do you find your iso for such systems? (Tpb has sets but not completely)

Lates Xenia build runs all XBLA Perfect! Even a Toaster runs them somewhat good.

All you have to do is unlock it yourself in the code since the dev is a massiv cuck. Don't ask me how, sorry, got it from a friend. It is basicly just one line where a '1' have to be changed into a '0'. Just search it up, i am sure there is something online explaining the shit.

Finally going to play Ilomilo and Island of Wakfu.

There's at least 89 different i5s anon, how could we possibly answer that question?

>>15593228

i5 8600K, why would i even use anything older than a year on my computer?

>>15592891

>>15593251

Why don't you just download it and see for yourself? I have an i5 4670k and Citra runs Omega Ruby flawlessly.

Switch Homebrew is starting to look promising now that it has openGL support.

How? How is making a thread to cater to a specific console when this thead is deader than McCain retarded?

Do you have the answer to help me?

>>15599125

>>15599112

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.

>>15599170

Right, thankyou for that.

I downloaded another (US?) version of Dropship and it gets fractionally past the load screen then fucks up on the US BIOS, so I'm just assuming you're right and it's just fucked.

I guess I'll just uninstall it and give up I spose.

>>15599176

well you can get a PS2 and softmod it or a fat ps3 and CFW it if you're determined to play. I did both and I love being able to play them on the original hardware, not to say I'm not a fan of emulation but i realize there's still a long way to go before they become the preferred way to play a console game. Brushing off my old PS1 and I'm gonna get a PSIO chip installed on it.

>>15599188

I considered that, but I'm not paying to play an old game I used to own for nostalgia reasons. If I can't just emulate it and have it work "out of the box" it's not worth the effort.

Besides, the MGS HD Collection is backwards compatible now on Xbox One so I'm happy for the meantime.

>>15599193

Its like 60$ to get an old PS2 fat, you could probably find even cheaper ones that don't have a working CD drive which you wouldn't need if you do an HD softmod and you can pirate all sorts of games you'd have problems running on your rig. Its not about momentary satisfaction, its the idea that you're taking proprietary crap and making it into your bitch flying right in the face of what Sony wants to do, that is, "rent" you the exclusives they've bought the rights to over the years on their shitty streaming call-it-a-service-but-actually-buttfucking-you thing.

>>15599202

You're absolutely right, but as you can see by my ID change it's 00:00 in the morning and I've crawled from my PC to my bed to phonepost so I'll take heed on what you've said and have a look at the "pawn shops" we have around here and see what I can find.

Thanks dude.

>>15599108

It should fix the stutter, you'll just have missing textures while they're being loaded instead.

>>15599085

Dropship is coded like shit so it does weird shit with the VUs

The warning is not meant for you or even to be understood by you.

iirc this has been fixed somewhat recently. or at-least whatever was breaking the game was understood.

>>15602141

Spooked.

>>15602141

I know, I know…

I fucked up.

Point is that Dropship was a criminally underrated game- the music, the Ace Combat-esque dogfighting and even the vehicle sections were good. I can't recommend it enough.

>>15602592

Are you using DSR or do you actually have a 4k monitor? If the latter, would you mind taking an off-screen picture of that?

>>15604199

No I'm using DSR.

RPCS3 keeps crashing when I fire up demon's souls.

Older versions ran the game just fine, but had low FPS.

Is there any fix? What's the fastest version of RPCS3 for demon's souls?

>>15608743

Stop being a retard.

The I will respond.

>>15608759

The only thing on their site about demons souls is not to use the PSN version. Which is not the one I have.
