I still use epsxe
For me it's pSX.
>epsxe
Most soulful website ever.
But it always seemed to never close properly for me, so it'd sit in the task manager. Weird.
I did, for over 15 years, until I found out DS has something called "geometry correction". And when I gave it a go, it turned out it's just better at everything.
And it lets you map hotkeys to your gamepad, even combinations work, so you can for example take screenshots with L3+R3.
soul vs soulless
Sure, sure. If you were already alive when PSX was out, you'd know this bothered a lot of people.
Literally didn't bother anyone as it was the first 3D console for most of us zoomer.
It bothers me but I like that it bothers me
>removing the soul
You should be ashamed anon
I only have used this on one game were the flickering was really intense and in my face, otherwise I leave it as is.
Based, that flickering was always a downsell of the ps1
t. N64 chad
Everyone's shitting on you, but this is what makes DS so great lmao. I can play 3x native with all those nice graphics options. Soul meme is irrelevant here
I hope you don't play NDS games that are 2D
the wobblyness only looks good at native resolution, it gets completely out of hand when you increase the res, there's no "soul" to the giga fricking massive wobbliness you get a 1080p/4k, none. It just looks bad.
But certainly if I'm playing a game at native res then I don't think it's necessary.
increasing the resolution looks like shit for ps1 games anyway.
>increasing the resolution looks like shit for ps1 games anyway.
Depends on the game. MGS1 looks fantastic at higher resolutions. It's just a shame that the pgxp breaks the radar.
That warping was one thing legitimately NOT intended to be there. Seeing it fixed is an improvement.
i fricking hate that shit. The resolution and aspect ratio would randomly get fricking and the game would go out of frame (i would only see the bottom left corner of the game, the rest would go offscreen).
I respect your choice because I use ZSNES for the same reason. But Duckstation is very user friendly and it supports 3D texture dewarping.
he never gave a reason tho, so how can it be for the same reason?
As someone who used epsxe for many, many, MANY years, you really really should switch to DuckStation. It's actually incredible how much better of an experience it is.
Duckstation runs slower in my pc compared to epsxe. Tried tinkering with it already but its no use. I'll stick to what works for me.
exactly. you don't need anything else. frick this modern normieproof shit

I thought Stenzektroony dropped this emulator
Apparently still works on the android version.
Best PS1 emu for sure
mednafen and RA redditors can cope
I gave finally gave it a chance, and it's actually GOOD.

It's on Retroarch, though, just with a different name (Swanstation)
I couldn't finish silent hill because the thing kept shitting itself
works on my machine. Finished it two times already :^*~~)

🙁 I'm sorry
does it have retroachievements support?
That's the main thing I look for in an emulator nowadays since I've already played everything I wanted to play, now I want to get cheevos for them.
yes
>retroachievements
silly white autism
Question, how on earth do I manage games with multiple discs? I have an old ass library that I've built up over 20+ years, but new emulators seem to have 0 way to change discs without closing, opening, and re-loading the entire fricking game. Don't know how we moved backwards on that but whatever.
I can't say I play just for them, but honestly it's a free novelty, no reason not to enjoy it, especially since it's user made and usually not filled with fluff, and has actual shit that might be worth calling an "Achievement".
Dont you just go file > mount > disk2.iso? Or are new emulators moronic again?
I ran into this issue recently, I found out theres an overlay menu that is unbound for some reason, but once I did that it worked fine
With DS, you have a Change Disc option and you can either choose another disc of the game list, browse from another folder or make a m3u file with a list of the .cue files. Also Retroarchivements shat the bed with a translated game since it crashed every time I tried to play it with RA enabled.
>and has actual shit that might be worth calling an "Achievement".
Which is why it's shit because 99% of lists are abusing glitches, doing speedrunner nonsense, or jumping on one foot while your arm is severed and doing a 360 noscope through a bagel-tier achievements. RetroAchievements such shit, and the fact they're online only is even worse.
>does it have retroachievements support?
What's the point?
>what is mednafen?
A crusty old pile of junk is what it is. Duckstation with interpreter is plenty accurate if that's what you're going for.

frick off with this support group shit
For me? Its the McChicken
I like how much screen space is dedicated to pining for a time period before you were even born. Truly based behavior
Now rewrite that but without being butthurt
Worked just fine on Beetle PSX
Just discovered that this game doesn't run on both Duckstation and Mednafen
It runs perfectly on both.
shut up
no no
just '
shut up say nothing and accept that you are a loser
Proof? I tried multiple rips and on both emulators the game doesn't boot
Works on Beetle PSX
Have you tried conforming to the gender you were born as?

They are cool just like i am

Retroarch’s UI changed and is easier to use these days.
This looks nice. How do I recreate that?
Follow the instructions to the letter or it will not work

No other emulator worked for me.
Yes, I play the Misadventures of Tron Bonne on it. Runs great

>duckstation bad
>mgs colection good
But the video is actually defending the mgs collection since he is saying that people expected options like increasing the resolution and other shit that would ruin the game visuals, just like they often do with emulators.
>people expected options like increasing the resolution and other shit that would ruin the game visuals
I don't see the problem with that as long as it's just optional instead of the only option (like in Halo 1 and 2 anniversary where you can switch between graphical modes)
>increasing the resolution ruins the game presentation
wat?
Just the upscaling of 2D elements is a pretty bad idea
Most of MGS2 and 3 are 3D elements though, it should be easy to just upscale that and make new high res 2D elements.
modern emulators have options to upscale 3d elements while leaving 2d elements raw/filtered/upscaled etc.
Since fricking when?
This homosexual has literally admitted to being a paid shill. Slagging off emulation is just his attempt to make the turd of a collection look better.
holy shit it's punchy
but is it emulation or port? if it has the ps1 polygon jiggle it should be fixed on pc

>main dev moves onto pcsx2

true, they're finally fixing the annoying shit where you had to switch to software mode in many popular games like black sky box in burnout 3.
For me it's a heavily modded PSMini with the HD mode turned on

YOU CANT FIX THE PS1 WOBBLES ITS A CORE PART OF THE CODE OF ALL GAMES THEY DID IT ON PURPOSE
yes you can
you cant its not possible
i think its called pgxp or perspective correction, a few emus have it. makes games a lot nicer
What is the best PS1, N64, Sega Saturn, and DS emulators out there these days? I guess GBA too

Thanks, friend
No problem, I'd also say that Retroarch is fine for everything up to Fifth Gen.
PS2 and above should be standalone.

Isn't Mednafen blurs the image a lot? I thought yaba sanshiro was considered the best saturn emulator.

Is a 1080ti not enough these days 🙁
gpu is almost irrelevant for emulation
I am moronic so idk what to do
what do I use to make racing lagoon playable. I was trying a few different things and they tend to either have graphical glitches in the cutscenes or don't load the level fast enough in a race for me to react properly to oncoming turns
More like CuckStation
for me its xstation and a retrotink 5x
use mednafen.
no .chd support
I can never ever get into handheld emulation. The handheld is an inseparable part of the experience for me, even if I'm emulating on another portable device. It's why Vita is invaluable to me since it emulates other handhelds.
It's a good emulator, I like it. Not much else for me to say
i member when the servbots were used as capcom mascots

I just wonder why It wont play Metal Gear Solid
ps1 is retro now
>baby discovers first mednafen fork for tech illiterate morons
Imagine being filtered by a simple Retroarch UI so hard that you have to shill this shit 24/7
speaking of ps1, how the frick do people still play thps 1/2 with ps1 controls?
it's so fricking sluggish
I played through basically every single TH game but I used 2x for 1 and 2 and it was so much more pleasant to play
Its not the 90s anymore so you shouldn't care about skateboard dude
Its just emulation, they are not gonna spend that much effort rebuilding a game. Anyway the guy in the video is right, people have no appreciation for the original game and think they know better, protip you probably don't even if you aren't a zoomer, MGS should be played on a CRT or at worst at native res with some shaders on, anything else is an exercise in futility
>Its not the 90s anymore so you shouldn't care about skateboard dude
are you daft? who cares about tony hawk? I'm talking about the games
Same shit, overrated series unless you really enjoy skateboard
That version like pretty much all old console ports is of low quality, MGS2 too but they managed to fix it a lot
>overrated series unless you really enjoy skateboard
okay I didn't ask
thanks for not answering my question moron
Don't care
Emulation is pretty much entirely dependent on your CPU, try to lower your internal res as much as possible but even then don't expect mriacles, you will probably be able to play PSP and DS games well and that's it for modern games.
>Its just emulation
Well that's bad then, people should just emulate. MGS had a a PC version which is what they should patch instead.
>Anyway the guy in the video is right, people have no appreciation for the original game and think they know better,
Yeah I'd agree now that I watched it. Not gonna defend the "port" though since selling ROMs is pretty scummy and lazy when you have the source code. But if we ignore all that they released them in a way they're supposed to be played.
I downloaded Dolphin, played RE2 no prob. Tried to play Mario Sunshine but runs at 10-16fps stuttering shit. SW Rogue Sq? Same shit. So yeah, I have a basic 200 dollar laptop from 2021 with celeron processor or whatever, but wtf cant I run games from like 20 years ago? Basically all I can run is PS1 and N64 games.
>celeron processor
The presets in emulators are made for Ryzen or i3-i7 CPUs, you might be able to change it but I haven't used a celeron since the 90s lol
The 6th gen of consoles is also a lot heavier to emulate than 5th gen
>The 6th gen of consoles is also a lot heavier to emulate than 5th gen
That's bullshit. You could run a lot of games at full speed on a shitty Phenom 2 CPU.
The only explanation I can find is they made the emulators more accurate over time, raising system requirements in the process.
Some games just inherently have problems. I have a decent comp, and even then the Rogue Squadron series is a headache to play. If you want my advice, there's a specific version of Dolphin that supposedly works better than the others. It's an older version, look for Dolphin 5.0-5075. Just like with PCSX2, sometimes an older version will deliver better performance on specific games.

>when its not the correct experience
what did he mean by this
I like to play with integer scaling and native resolution with dithering enabled.
is there a list of problematic ps1 games that dont work well with pgxp
I used to emulate PSX nearly perfectly like 20 years ago, now barely any emulator works unless you have a turbo jet machine. Can anyone explain this to me? Duckstation was a marvel, but it only works on x64, so what the frick happened between windows xp emulators and current tech?
Modern emulators are a lot more accurate and don’t use hacky solutions to run faster.
I want the less accurate options, what can I do? I can't think of anything I missed playing in older emulators and I surely wouldn't mind not getting upscaled resolution if that's the trade off. Earlier in the year I wanted to play a fantraslation of a SNES SMT game and it was running on single digit FPS, that can't possibly be alright when I was playing stuff like Sega Genesis on emulators back when PC had the turbo button.
>duckstation
>accuracy
I mean, you're not wrong that old emulators were a pile of hacks, but they were a pile of hacks designed to make it run fast on hardware not capable of more accurate emulation.
Now we have significantly faster computers that could much more reasonably come close to accurate PS1 emulation and instead all those cycles get burned on sub-optimal code and meme features.
Don't confuse accuracy with "runs without modification." Duckstation's main claim to fame over shitty emulators like PCSX and ePSX is that all its filthy hacks are automatic whereas old emulators needed you to fiddle with plugin settings to work around errors. But Duckstation is no less a pile of hacks than those are, it's just easy mode.
I don’t use Dickstation, I use Beetle SW. I would use Mednafen but there’s no .chd support.
>sub-optimal code and meme features
bro my 2014 laptop runs duckstation with 9% cpu load and 11% load with software rendering read back. if that's burning your brazilian power station, consider upgrade to something made after 2010
>what the frick happened between windows xp emulators and current tech?
accuracy
It has a handy UI, good performance for high resolutions and PGXP to fix psx wobbliness. I was sceptical about it first but it just made as way better program than previous emulators
>but it only works on x64
no one is writing code for plain x86 anymore, meaning now if they want to support it, they have to support a 32 bit ABI, and even plenty of paid developers are getting tired of keeping track of hardware differences to support morons who can't let go of their crap 32 bit hardware
>emulation
>he thinks the console does anything without controllers and a TV

Skill issue
still have my chipped ps1 (and 2). emulation is way better
I will be honest with you for once. I can't find a good psx game no matter how hard I look for it. I emulate psp,ds and 3ds games on my potato phone.
I played Fear Effect, Parasite Eve, Mizzurna Falls and liked them
Not my cup of tea. Usually I play either rpg or visual novels. Perfect for android.
Still me.. something actually easy and fun to play (controls) and take advantage of those touch screen.
I'm playing duckstation rn (right now)
you don't have to stick with native internal resolution
Doesn't have a wireframe mode, so no
Does anyone else stream Duckstation from their Gaming PC via Moonlight to another device?
Are there any settings/pitfalls I should look out for in this case?
Been planning on playing MGS over the holidays on the big screen TV
I like it, has been working fine for me in well over a year, just had some problems with LSD dream emulator but other than that all’s good
Until someone actually perfects the PSX SPU reverb, PS1 emulation is not finished.
No, the games didn't "always sound like that", the chip was just never reverse-engineered that carefully and not even Sony ever made an accurate software emulation for the SPU.
What would you even play on a PS1 emulator? The selection of PS1 games are fricking ass

Retroarch is piss easy to use
>Retroarch is piss easy to use
I struggled with it for 4 years, it's great when it decides to just fricking work but between my config files randomly getting corrupted, options changing on their own and my visual settings skewing at total random so the output scales outside of the overlay, I got really sick of it. Spending 4/5ths of my time running tech support wasn't worth it.

Someone needs to teach that magic to actual devs with their shitty port jobs.
not really the same thing, they straight-up only had the downsampled source code. no pcs2 emulator can run that game at it's original framerate
is this something you can do in dolphin? it’d make my life as a king so bearable
The best way to emulate is to get the actual console.

I messed around with rpcs3 for the first time recently and was using SoulCalibur 4 to test it, but the game just freezes whenever certain characters are on screen. Is this just a case of my PC just being that shitty or did I screw something up in the emulator settings?
