PS3 emulation posible?

>>8685909

isnt microsoft going to put all the xbox games in win10?

>>8685947

>PS3 emulation posible?

http://rpcs3.net/

It's coming along nicely.

>>8685947

PS3 emulation is going steady.

Emulating Yakuza 2. The start is really slow, but it really hooks you when you meet up with Majima again.

I'm glad emulation exists, so I can play games that are too expensive. Still haven't played Timesplitters, Drakengard, Shenmue, Rule of Rose, Chibi Robo, or Phantasy Star Online because of that shit.

>>8685995

Drakengard (the first game) and the Timesplitters games (the PS2 versions anyhow; Gamecube version of Future Perfect is like twice the price at $40+) were still pretty cheap last I looked. But yeah, the ability to emulate games that either have such a high demand or so low a total print run that prices on actual copies are ridiculously high is nice.

So, how bad is Project64? Its the only emulator I havent tried yet, and I want to play some Zelda Oot/MM.

Heard good things about Dolphin.

>>8686344

It's pretty bad but the most of the popular titles including the two Zelda games work okay.

And yeah Dolphin is great.

So how do I get N64 Roms to work with Dolphin?

>>8686470

You need the Virtual Console WADS. They have plenty of them on the Emuparadise forums if you're willing to make a throwaway account.

>>8686369

What runs bad? the controls? framerate?

>watcha playan?

About to start playan some Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I'm looking for ideas for a TRPG I want to pitch/write a GDD for.

Im noticing a lot of newfags that are amazed by our ID system

>>8687807

I tired playing GT4 with a PS2 controller, but the pressure sensitivity doesn't work, I searched all over and I can't find any solution. Might you have a fix for it?

>>8686537

Lesser known games have framerate issues and lots of graphical glitches and crashing.

>>8688429

Unless you've got a real Dual Shock 2/3 and the appropriate drivers then there's no way to get the pressure sensitivity.

Does it really matter for GT4 though? It didn't stop me from doing a complete Career Mode on PCSX2.

You can always set acceleration / braking to the right stick instead.

>>8685909

God I keep forgetting how shit Dolphin can emulate sometimes

But Ive just been emulating Earthbound.

>>8688460

Should probably start the process from the beginning. Install Homebrew Channel and get the ISOloader homebrew along with a cheap external hard drive and all the IOSs that it requires. Worked well for me when I had a wii.

>>8688460

Not sure about how to over-ride or remove what you've got on there right now, but as far as current modding goes , consider looking into letterbomb. Doesn't even require a game to exploit.

120%'d Spyro again, this time with Mednafen. I used to love epsxe (and then pcsx-r) for the resolution, but I'm totally into native res+filter with perfect emulation, no plugins, and the whole "it just werks" Mednafen has going on.

Has anyone tried Mupen64 here?

I'm struggling to map the ABC buttons to the numpad because savestate slots are apparently bound to number keys and there's no way to change or unbind them through the config file or the frontend. Are these fucking hardcoded or what?

Also yeah I know I should just use a gamepad but I left it at my parents' house this weekend.

>>8685963

>>8685962

Stupid question, but the PS3 emulator seems to be coming along well due to DX12. But that means having a Windows 10 install and fuck that noise. Any idea whether the Ps3 emulator will see similar benefits from Vulcan so we can just ignore DX12/Windows 10?

>>8689950

Nah I was just curious. I can just about run PCSX2 on my toaster, so PS3 emulator is out of the question for now.

Trying to play King's Field II, the inconsistent engine speed is really an issue, which apparently was also an issue on the original hardware.

>>8690010

You'd be shocked how well PCSX2 can play some games in software mode on a toaster with speedhacks.

>>8688460

Its easier if you just use your NAND dump and start from scratch. It'll only take you maybe an hour tops to have everything set up and ready start playing.

>>8689998

>>8690010

>>8690152

My desktop was considered a toaster back in 2011 yet I can still run PCSX2 games well. System requirements for that and Dolphin have generally gone down over the past few years.

>>8689772

Mupen64 or Mupen64++/Mupen64k?

played a bit of bushido blade and darkstalkers 3 on pcsxr (epsxe can't configure my generic usb controller)

>>8691721

>can I play PS1 games on a PS2 emulator

No.

>>8686344

If you want to play the 3D Zelda games you should play them through dolphin off the gamecube releases.

Always check the PCSX2 Wiki for each individual game.

Also, I highly, highly recommend you familiarize yourself with Retroarch. It's the closest you're going to get for an all-in-one frontend.

Well, to be fair, I heard some Anons we're enjoying LaunchBox - though I don't know much about that.

Alright so I unfucked my Wii with the NAND restore and I still have the homebrew channel and Wiiflow installed, so that makes me happy. But now I don't even know if it's worth using since Dolphin will let me upscale and apply AA to my Gamecube and Wii roms. Is Dolphin compatible enough at this point to basically make using Wii hardware obsolete?

>>8690346

>Japanese region

>Why? Just why?

I was a weeb and wanted to play games in Japanese for Full Immersion™. There was one game that I wanted to play that I couldn't get running in US region, so I switched. I could have just switched back using the same program I used in the first place but I guess I was missing and IOS or something and I just decided to restore. I'm still playing games in Japanese, but only when it's way more convenient to do so.

Still find it strange that PPSSPP was perfect right out of the gate.

Has anyone had any good luck with running Shadow of the Colossus with a decent frame rate? I can't for the life of me get it to at least 18+ fps.

>>8688792

>no plugins

Wonderful isn't it.

>>8692500

PS3 version is far superior for the framerate alone.

>>8692474

Single core CPU combined with a pretty standard video chip makes emulating the thing a breeze.

>>8692500

SotC emulation is one of the hardest, if you don't have a good CPU and as lot of patience you simply won't be able to run the game at a playable state.

Post PC specs and PCSX2 settings as reference, we can't magically offer advice to solve the problem without any background.

>>8694286

>PS3 version is far superior for the framerate alone.

The HD collection can be played just fine but it's upscaled and has FPS drops here and there(i own the game), definitely the best choice for toaster race though.

Anyone with a decent PC can emulate the game at true 1080p 50-60FPS, i can do it with my i3-6100 3.7ghz.

The slowdowns on the video are sadly part of the game engine itself and can't be removed as of now, maybe someone will care enough to design a specific hack for it in the future.

>>8694325

Yes, emulation quality is all about CPU power, all you need from a vidcard is newest OpenGL support and a decent amount of VRAM to be able to render the game at higher resolutions and to add filters.

>>8694688

What i meant is that the emulation itself is quite straightfoward on the PSP because there's no multicore hell.

On a multicore system, the games have a much harsher timing accuracy requirements because CPU 1 requires CPU 2 to have completed the task etc.., but as PSP have only one core, you have a lot more of leeway which translates to a faster core overall.

>>8685909

Why does TP look better on Gamecube than it does on Wii?

Is the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance series worth playing? I might get the first game for Dolphin and the second one for PCSX2.

>>8694742

That's true, also the rumor is that the people behind PPSSPP worked for Sony at some point, they somehow have a lot of hardware/software documentation that allowed them to clean and optimize the emulator in such a short amount of time.

I'm inclined to believe this because it takes years to properly reverse engineer a console and the PPSSPP went from decent to Dolphin tier in such a short span.

>>8694856

The last case is quite dodgy and hidden if true, because you can't legally do an emulator using official technical documentation of the company.

Must be the so called "clean room reverse engineering".

>>8694778

Yeah it is a fun adventure.

>>8685909

how do i emulate the classic pro wii controller on dolphin?

and what the hell is the Z button? i have never owned anything from Nintendo since the SNES

>>8694778

It's pretty fun.

>>8692303

>weeb

You know that with USB Loader GX you can just go to the options for the specific game and make it start as a Japanese game right? Thats how you get fan translations to work and playing games in original japanese. Hell you can change it to whichever language you want as long as its supported.

>Dolphin

Depends on your rig really. For maximum confiness and cheapness, a modded wii is excellent since you can use it as an emulation box. I use Dolphin when I want to play certain games in higher resolution or want to fuck around with the control pad. For example, playing Super Mario Strikers Charged with a DS4 is extremely comfy. I'd say they're two different experiences despite both of them being "playing videogames".

>compatibility

Dolphin has excellent compatibility, for some games though you still need the waggling, and Dolphin doesn't do the Wii motion plus.

>Wiiflow

Delete that shit mate, USB Loader GX is the way to go. Put some custom music for the menu, easy as pie and good looking interface, built in compatibility with Nintendon't. I mean, why would you use anything else?

>>8706344

Those are some really weaksauce CPUs.

I should save this picture for the next time someone does the ol "YOU NEED A CORE I7 OVERCLOCKED SO HIGH YOU HAVE TO SHOVE IT INTO THE ARTICUNO BUTT TO KEEP IT COOL TO PLAY ANYTHING ON PCSX2!!".

I dont understand, I am plaything through OoT on Project64 and I have seen no issues yet. I have a beefy PC, so maybe that is why? Also, I am playing with a usb modded ps2 controller. Dont hate, yo.

>>8708098

Project 64 is not heavy, it is an "not emulator" so to speak.

The nintendo 64 system have two CPUs, the main one and the coprocessor DSP thing.

The main one is a very known and documented R4000 family CPU, so emulating it is a piece of cake, and all emulators obviously emulate this one.

But then there is the coprocessor. It is a chip made specifically for the nintendo 64 system, and its not only very undocumented (even for the developers back then), but horrible to code for, due having a program size limit of 4KB, being a 128bit SIMD (on the 8x16bit configuration) beast, having no debug tools whatsoever, AND nintendo forbidding the developers from using 16bit precision math on it, forcing you to use 32bit emulated math.

But as it was awful to code for, most developers used one of the 10 or so programs written for it, so what most emulators did was instead of emulating the coprocessor, they choose to simply impersonate the program running on the coprocessor.

But this method fails if the game abuse of the original program bugs, or if the developer slightly tweaked the code, or went factor 5 insane and redid the whole thing from scratch.

And the final result is that the emulator ends being great for the most popular games like Zelda, mario, pokemon, but anything else gets the shaft.

>>8708192

thats crazy, good OLD NINTENDO!

>>8708192

Who the fuck designed the N64 anyways? After Gunpei got the boot their consoles went full retard.

>>8708591

SGI did it.

You can say to a certain extent that the nintendo 64 coprocessor is the main inspiration for the PS2 emotion engine and PS3 cell.

>>8685962

Awesome, only a few more years till GTA IV and V are playable via emulation.

>>8708591

Let alone that fucking controller.

>>8708765

I dont mean to be a dick, but why the fuck would emulate games already on the PC? Or is this a meme joke.

>>8708591

Nintendo did better with the Gamecube but still went full retard with the RAM, having 24MB normal memory + 16MB that was slow as fuck and a pain for the developers to utilize.

>>8694688

>Anyone with a decent PC can emulate the game at true 1080p 50-60FPS

I meant the internal frame rate doesn't go anywhere near that high. Even on ps3 it doesn't go higher than 30.

>>8718387

>Even on ps3 it doesn't go higher than 30.

The PS3 most likely didn't have the hardware to support even that most of the time.

What purpose would there be to unlock the frame rate if the hardware is unable to support it?

>>8720642

i thought we had that sorted? was thinking of emulating some ps2 games later actually, does it not work?

>>8720672

depends on the game, really.

most of the games I tried seem to work fine, but of course those I really want to play either run at 10fps or glitch out like crazy.

>>8691810

>That name

I thought Corpse Party was a horror game. What does buttering poopers have to do with this?

>>8720669

That game has some pretty good graphics

>>8688172

Yes. We realized that 20 threads ago.

>>8688429

If you have a DS3 map the acceleration and breaks to the triggers.

>>8685947

>isnt microsoft going to put all the xbox games in win10?

nope, where did you read such bullshit?

>>8720642

At least the characters actually have eyes instead of gaping black holes now. Progress!

>>8720672

Most of the games that are worth playing do work, though some might require you to tinker with the settings or have some small bugs but are otherwise fully playable.

The ratchet and Clank games have always been a bitch to emulate however and only recently have they seen real improvement.

How's 3DS emulation coming along?

>>8720642

Doesn't work that bad on the latest version, but still has some problems, and SW mode is very slow for that game unfortunately.

>>8729544

Probably not before a year, and most likely only on hardware better than skylake.

>>8720750

>>8688429

Or use SCP which also allows for native pressure sensitivity with DS3 and a few clones.

>>8686550

After around 6 hours with it I can confirm that Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is still very fun.

Good mechanics don't age.

What kinda PC do I need to get into ps2 emulation?

bump

>>8729544

Slowly.

>>8730673

A desktop with a good Intel CPU.

>>8730673

Sadly a good intel CPU and a decent Nvidia GPU.

An intel CPU will let you run the majority of games full speed and can fall back to software mode on some other where HW mode is too broken, Zen might change that soonish though so if you can wait for it I'd suggest you do, at worst you'll get something that's on par with 3rd gen core iX which should be enough in most cases especially if there is 6-8 core models since SW mode can use as much as 30 cores (although the multithreading overhead makes 12+ cores a waste)

An Nvidia GPU because AMD and intel GPU have shit OGL support and the only plugin worth using anymore or that will see any progress is the OGL one, DX12 is highly unlikely (maye gabest will grace us with his presence once more and leave an half finished renderer) and Vulkan is a big maybe for now but if either of those happens and the renderer is good then AMD would become a better choice.

Honestly a softmodded PS2 seems like the better choice most of the time but if you already have both of those things then yeah go for it some game emulate very well and look much better on PCSX2, do not not do a build with the sole purpose of emulating PS2 you will spend a ridiculous amount of money for something that really isn't worth it.

>>8740380

>>8730673

Hilariously both the CPU and GPU requirements for Dolphin are much lower in general than PCSX2 despite the former emulating much more powerful hardware.

While there are still quite a few PCSX2 games I can't run fullspeed on my i5-2500 I can't think of a single one I can't on Dolphin.

FF10 on pcsx2.

Works perfectly fine except that the skybox sometimes has huge triangles on nothing showing up.

I have no idea whether it has something to do with the game or my emulator settings.

>>8745861

>despite the former emulating much more powerful hardware

The NGC/Wii architecture is vastly simpler than the PS2 architecture (the PS2 is very close in terms of architecture to an N64 except way less retarded) which is why it's more demanding.

Also to note that neither PCSX2 or Dolphin are really that accurate (that doesn't mean they can't play a lot of games but they realistically aren't on the same level as most current 5th gen and down emulator excluding N64 obviously), a very accurate emulator for either of those would be ridiculously demanding,

>>8748482

Super Mario 64.

>>8748895

no shit, but what emulator to use?

>>8749249

I would suggest Dolphin.

>>8749618

that runs gamecube roms though, and super mario 64 is a nintendo 64 game

>>8749670

a boy

c-can we please all work together and make xbox emulation real?

I can't code, but I'm pretty good at drawing penises so I'll do my best to support

>>8750090

>I'm pretty good at drawing penises

Good, that will keep the morale up.

>>8749715

I thought it was also a 64 and some other initendo platform emulator

>>8750664

it is?

>>8750664

>>8750767

>>8749715

When people are telling you to use Dolphin for 64 games, they mean on the Wii virtual console. Use a .wad with the injected 64 game, and chances are it will work just fine.

Not all games are compatible, but a good number are.

Come on guys, I thought this was common knowledge by now. The least you could have done is link related.

>>8751304

I fear it's the second anon, try using Desmume 0.9.9 the official version, it was the fastest one and i managed to run games full speed on a total toaster, don't forget to activate JIT and raise it to 100

>>8755314

>don't forget to activate JIT and raise it to 100

Almost 100% sure that doing that will break that game in particular.

>>8755354

I did some tests and the only game that seemed to be affected was Final Fantasy IV, then again i don't remember if i tried testing OoE. Funny thing is that even if i took the values to 99, the game won't break until i put it to 100

Emulating Xenogears atm but I don't think I can do this. There doesn't seem to be any difficulty in this game.

>>8756062

Play SaGa Frontier if you want difficulty fam.

>>8692474

It really wasn't and it still isn't.

What has PCSX2 done with the emulation recently?

Like my last build was from months ago. So I don't know what was added. I don't just want to swap out mine. I updated Dolphin. Gonna play some Luigi's Mansion otherwise.

What's a good midrange (600-900) PC build for emulation?

>>8756685

CPU/GPU balanced. A decent CPU is probably all you'll want to blow that budget on. I'd say an i5-4690K. Decent mobo, 1 TB hard drive, 8 GB ram (if you're American it's like 9.00$ a GB) 'cos you really don't need more than 12 honestly. a Seasonic PSU 520, or 620 Watts.

I mean reasonably you can toss this all together for $700-1000. If you want to go cheaper do an AMD build. An FX-8350 for a CPU, and an nVidea 750 Ti. Otherwise same spec recommendations, just you'll have to purchase a 620W for sure with AMD.

>>8757199

Yeah,I noticed my FX4300+Asus 7770 is kind of shit when emulating certain games on PS2 or Dolphin.

Was thinking of going with an i5 6600k or the 4690k and getting an R7 or R9 card.

>>8757251

Is that Castlevania 1? If it is, it is pretty beatable, hard but not impossible

>>8757277

Yes it is. Played it a bit myself, the first level was pretty easy, I'm thinking to myself "Hey, this isn't so bad". Then the Medusa Heads come into play. Oh lord

>>8757285

The game is easy until you defeat death stunlock that motherfucker with holy water and you get to the last level.

Just thinking about the last level gives me PTSD. But you're probably better at it than me, you can do it anon.

>>8757430

I'm wondering if the Ahtlon X4 880k or the A10-7890k will be any better than my current FX4300.

I've had this problem for a while. PJ64 has broken vsync in fullscreen and it's pretty gay that my PCSX2 and Dolphin capable 4ghz cpu and far above necessary gpu can't run this fucking gay emulator without tearing in fullscreen. I use PJ1.6. Any ideas?

>>8757490

unlikely, theyre targeted at lower end chipset and socket so you probably cant pull some crazy oc shit either

if you want better performance i suggest looking into a second hand x79 board and one of the 8 core sandy bridge xeons that are now going for sweet fuck all

>>8757548

vishera is decent for multithreaded loads, part of picking good hardware is knowing what loads youll be putting it on fam

>AMD is pulling the same shit that Intel is with their shitty internal software that will cause pirated software and the like to cease up. It also phones home

wat

>>8757243

>i5 6600k

Only get a i5 if you are not planning to update any time soon and you really need the extra cores for encoding or general multi-tasking, otherwise you can just get a i3 and still have the option of updating to a non-overpriced i5/i7 later when the new CPU's drop.

>R9 card

If you want a R9 get a MSI Radeon R9 380 4GB, it's really fucking good for the price.

>>8757490

>I'm wondering if the Ahtlon X4 880k

My friend has a OC Phenom Black x6 4.3ghz and it performs just as good as a top i3-entry i5 emulation wise.

As of now Intel CPU's are simply better single core wise and the hyper-threading makes a huge impact on emulation, specially on things like Dolphin.

Pascal looks promising and it may end up being if not better at least on par with new Intel CPU's emulation wise, but as now Intel is the way to go for emulation.

>>8757586

Intel has some program that's supposed to help offload some parts to the RAM I believe. Well it also causes some internal issues. It will also send data back to Intel for you. Apparently AMD has the same type of thing. Doesn't do the same thing, but it's for data management or some such. So I'm wary about Intel products passed 2014, and Pascal Is that released next year, or later this year? will have something akin to what Intel has.

>Knowing what the loads will be.

You can't do this reasonably for all games. MY 8320 has run most games in PCSX2 just fine, and Dolphin has slowdowns occasionally, but it's not that bad. Rendering textures is down to GPU I believe. My next build will be Intel CPU/AMD GPU. I'm happy of the performance of my AMD GPU. My AMD CPU though? Well it depends. It does okay.

>>8757622

id very much like to know exactly what that thing is and what it does, got any links you could share?

personally im not too bothered about how much my CPU slows down games, my main concern with a CPU is how well itll allow me to multitask, and in most cases simply throwing more GPU at a game helps anyway.

>>8757644

I would have to find it. I don't know if I reasonably can. Well it really all depends on what software you use.

>>8757644

>in most cases simply throwing more GPU at a game helps anyway.

For regular games yes but when it comes to emulation the CPU is what decides how smoothly will the game run, the GPU is just there to help with higher game resolutions, shaders and filters.

>>8757710

My backlog is probably around 900+ and it's always growing, i have no idea why people waste $60+DLC for shitty new releases when there is so many excellent old games.

>any recommandation anons?

Get a CRT monitor or a Sony Trinitron TV to get the most out of old games.

Also get a Wii U Pro controller or a PS3 controller for emulation.

Destroy all humans 2. The story is able to be played co-op. It makes the nija island so much easier with one person per side.Also Spartan Total Warrior.

Finally the entire Ratchet and Clank games.

Dreedlock is co-op focused. Up your arsenal has local and online multiplayer.

Anyone know if I can run ace combat 4 pcsx2 on an i5 3.6Ghz and hd3000?

Software mode of course.

>>8765124

Very likely but FRAPS might be low as hell.

>>8765124

I've played Ace Combat 5 in software mode on an i5 3.3ghz and it was fullspeed.

I've heard that 4 is more demanding to emulate for some reason.

>>8765296

fucking A, man thanks.

I just finished 3 (JP) and it was rad.

Do the later ace combat games do the trading altitude for speed thing?

Slow down there buddy. Do you have access to NASA computers?

>>8758988

NoA has been caught numerous times repackaging roms that they just lifted off popular sites.

>>8766603

Kek. Same goes for Sony regarding backwards compatibility on the PS3. Those that were software based had a lot of similarities with PCSX2, especially regarding save formatting.

>>8686344

Use mupen, newest versions of pj64 are bundled with malware (no boxes to uncheck) and old one don't work all the time.

>>8688226

IDs are retarded, it's an anonymous image board.

>>8759102

Burnout 2 on Dolphin is perfect from what I played.

>>8692474

jpcsp came first and laid a lot of the ground work for them even if it is an awful java-based emulator that has literally no point existing now.

>>8766525

>Slow down there buddy. Do you have access to NASA computers?

No I don't but it should be able to run OK on a 4.5GHZ 8230 and 290. At least I hope so.

I might as well give it a shot this weekend with Dreadlock seeing as sold my orginial copy.

>>8769370

Outside of the first one and the PSP ports forget about R&C on PCSX2, especially with an AMD CPU

2, 3 and deadlocked are particularly brutal, even my i7 can't handle them at more than 45fps most of the time (unless I mess with the VU thing or use the cheat that locks the game in 30fps mode internally)

>>8770041

You can enable frame skipping in the core video settings, but it might cause graphical issues.

>skybox being black

You're doing it wrong. http://wiki.pcsx2.net/index.php/Burnout_3:_Takedown

I've been emulating it again recently, shit's too fun.

>>8765124

>>8765296

>>8766153

4 was a lot more demanding than 5 and 0, with that hardware you're likely to end up having to skip it.

There were some issues running 4 in hardware mode too, that I remember.

Is Dreamcast emulation a mess, or are most games functional?

>>8773517

you don't need to emulate that, although the original xhox version is far better than all the other releases.

scarface the world is yours is essentially the vice city sequel we never got.

>>8770041

Not exactly the same but yeah you could do something similar in ZOE.

>>8770151

That too but the results are terrible generally.

>>8773472

It's okay if you have an high end system and don't mind native or 2x res.

>Watcha playan

I managed to get hold of an old school CRT with almost no use. I plugged my nintendo wii to it and i'm emulatan the mega drive so i can play co-op games with my brother.

Thank fuck for libretro they still actively update and improve the wii port of their emulators, at some point i just assumed they have given up but now i went to their website and got 6 years worth of improvements

Are there any "party games" you guys would recommend? Some shit I can play with a friend, or several friends when they are over?

So far we only play SFIV (pc version) and every once in a while some smash bros.

>>8685909

Persona 4 on PCSX2.

Just wish I could sit down and play it without interruptions. Need to clear Naoto's dungeon.

Having a blast with it even with the fact that it is a lot easier compared to Persona 3 FES.

>still want some hidden gems

>psp, ps2, snes

>>8773554

To be fair we did get Vice City Stories, but its annoying that Rockstar seems to have a massive boner for Liberty City.

>>8778431

I left it hanging in Rise's. My problem was I went straight to it from 3 FES and got series fatigue.

Pretty sure he meant THE Xbox. Xbox 360 emulation is already happening, just slowly.

Go back to your Gaben subreddit.

For MAME roms, what's the difference between set 1, 2, 3, etc?

>>8685909

Played Mortal Kombat on MAME yesterday.

Was going to play on Arcade Kollection, but thanks to game for windows profile login updates and error messages it was faster to download mame, the roms, and configure the pad, than reach to the title screen on the Steam version.

>>8778431

I wonder if it would be possible to patch the extra content from Golden into the original.

bump

>xbox emulation

xbox consoles are super cheap right now.

soft mod it, put in a new HDD, install all the games, bam.

>>8801950

Anything 5th gen (PS1, N64 and Saturn) or lower should be fine. There's probably a good many PS2 and Gamecube games you can run fullspeed too. Get the latest version of PCSX2 or Dolphin and download a game. It won't cost you anything to try.

>>8802652

Hmm Yakuza is one of the more demanding PCSX2 games to emulate, I'm not sure if you'll have much luck there.

Try Final Fantasy X or either of the Kingdom Hearts games, those should definitely run at fullspeed.

I don't know about Crash Wrath of Cortex.

>>8803122

Yeah, found out the hard way. Oh well - guess that just gives me an incentive to upgrade this toaster as soon as I stop being a poorfag.

Just in case, Crash Wrath of Cortex runs at 88% speed in my toaster, in case any other anon with a toaster wants to give that game a shot. I'm sure I could get it to run faster if I swapped some plugins or messed with the settings but I'm not sure if I'm willing to do that right now.

Thanks for your help!
