        Hardware emulation. It also has a software version too but it runs at like 0.1fps lol.

          It's not really emulation either, it's a re-implementation of the original hardware using an FPGA. The FPGA just allows you to reprogram it to load different consoles.
          It's like calling clone consoles "emualtion" because they use a modern clone chip. An FPGA is just a programmable chip.

      FPGAs for 'emulation' are moronic, and the fact you linked to a repo which shows even they need updates and fixes - and thus aren't perfect recreations - proves they aren't any better than emulators and are on par with audiophile bullshit.

      • 5 months ago

        FPGAs are better if you actually use a CRT because they're analog and can run at the original clockrates of various systems.
        Other than that you a probably just better off using an emulator.

          They're not. Edge magazine did a massive expose on them, about 10 pages long, including interviews with key creators. They're a complete scam and they are no more accurate than software emulators.

      I don't hate Ryujinx I just don't recommend using it unless Yuzu is broken

      In my experience Ryujinx runs AND looks worse than Yuzu, though this is most pronounced with the Xenoblade games that aren't Xenoblade HD, for me so far. Ryujinx is supposed to be more accurate than Yuzu, but somehow for me it tends to have more issues in general somehow. It's not like I don't have a PC powerful enough to use Ryujinx either.

      It really seems to me that you have to compare Yuzu and Ryujinx for every single individual title.

      ryujinx are for accuracygays that insist on playing at 640p/20 fps just like nintendo intended

      yuzu is for people that want to play at 4k/60fps and use real mods

          The funny thing is that for totk they both ran early, but Yuzu easily ran the best. Yuzu couldn’t emulate the volumetric clouds until the 1.02 patch, but Ryu wouldn’t emulate the gloom in the depths. All the original frame unlocking and ambient occlusion fixes were done on Yuzu first too.

            Although you needed a hack to get the game to even boot on yuzu pre-release. If it wasn't for the community and was just up to the yuzu devs the game wouldn't have worked at all.

          Yeah this tends to be the case in my experience. It's not just the day they leak either, It's usually the first week Yuzu needs to push out a patch to fix the playability of the game while Ryujinx has already had it running well before the game even releases.

          I always wonder why that is and why Yuzu tends to not be able to run games for shit without patching it.

      It really seems to me that you have to compare Yuzu and Ryujinx for every single individual title.

      The only way a game would look worse is if it had dynamic resolution scaling, you didn't use a mod to turn it off, and you were getting worse performance which would force the resolution scaling on.

    Dolphin is still the best emulator. It's the only one that does online well, which alone adds so much value that it's ridiculous.
    MelonDS is getting there, but that's iffy at best, Ryus lack of a buffer means you can only play with people with very good connection (unless they've updated it).

      There's a specific build of CXBX that doesn't have the white flickering that I had to use earlier.
      Xemu has an issue with audio in the little bit I played with it, and all of CXBX's builds other than one specific date has this white flickering glitch, at least when Widescreen hacking.

      Playing it on CXBX the only time I encountered any issues whatsoever was the lighting was bugged during one of the boss fights towards the end of the game.
