For me, it has to be Kega Fusion. It's got a lot of nostalgic value. (That, and I played a BUNCH of Sonic rom hacks on this emulator.)
What is an old emulator that you use currently?

Used kega for snatcher, turned out there is no many options for Sega cd emulation
Nightly Blastem might change that, since it's making a TON of progress.
i use blastem because it's accurate.

I regularly use SNES9x 1.49 and 1.51 for old romhacks and translations.
The translation for Wizadry Gaiden IV for example locks up before the title screen on BSNES/Ares.
Heh, that's actually why I use Gens for ancient (Pre-Fusion) Sonic hacks.
I believe Ares has some options to emulate Zsnes behavior for old hack compatibility.
Does it? Never seen the settings in the options.
If you know how please share since there are at least a dozen hacks I like to load up regularly that still need either ZSNES or SNES9x releases from the 00s.
I think BSNES does, since Ares is a multi-system emulator that's more focused on cycle-accuracy.
Think you're right, it might just a option in BSNES and didn't carry over in to Ares (yet).
I'm pretty sure most people are thinking of Higan? (Ares' predecessor.)
That one is so laggy. It does have a correct implementation of Blargg's though. it passes all my composite trickery test cases
Blastem has its own NTSC shader, and it's worth checking out if you're interested 😉
i like this one. it reproduces the melancholy of a wasted afternoon
i already have that set up in retroarch
Duuuuude, me too! Sik did FANTASTIC work on this shader.
I don't use any old emulators. I use the best emulator available for every system, I'm constantly on the lookout for new and better emulators. I guess the oldest emulator I use that I can think of is mednafen.
If it's newer and better you're after, then Emulation General has you covered. (As well as a scale for how accurate each emulator is.)
You talking about the wiki? I use that all the time but I don't know what accuracy scale you're talking about?
Something like this?
Oh yeah, I've seen that. Thought maybe there was something more indepth. But yeah that's really useful anyway.
Can be a pain in the ass sometimes to determine which emulators are the best and in what ways they differ. Especially with nightlies.
That's why I'm often testing various emulators myself. (Which serves as a good guide for which games work best on which emulators.)
Love me Nesticle
Sinple as
BigPEmu carries that same spirit, which is absolutely hilarious.
Fricking love this comic. I remember changing the nesticle95 icon from the nut sack, renaming the executable to something else, and hacking out the bloody hand courser.
I did all this so my grandma could play Dr. Mario on her PC
You're a good lad, anon
My PS2.
I love that Retroarch builds exist for the PS2.
I emulated NES games on PS2, looked great in 240p over RGB on my TV.
I don't emulate much anymore, but aren't pretty much all emulators that launch as standalone, windowed software, fairly old? Was using Kega Fusion and Bizhawk a while back to play some games.
I'm not going to program a conf file to use a fricking command line emulator. And you couldn't pay me to use Retroarch, the UI was designed by an actual lunatic. So older standalone emulators it is.
i'm not seeing any issues with it. it's just normal nested menus, essentially dropdowns with a slightly different presentation. it can all be navigated with a 1-button mouse if other inputs are too confusing
>but aren't pretty much all emulators that launch as standalone, windowed software, fairly old?
...No?
The world does not revolve around Retroarch anon
>So older standalone emulators it is.
The vast majority of emulators that are around are stand alone anon.
I have emulators I don't think of anybody has ever even heard of. One is called "Nintendo 64". And then to add insult to injury you look on the bottom of the emulator and it says "Nintendo. Made in Japan
Why aren't our ChanMediaWarriors talking about this?
Good one anon.
I bet you thought you were being real clever with this one didn't you?
id be a hardwaregay if games didnt cost the price of a used car.
I have no idea, but I'd love to learn more about this rabbithole.
We'll never need more
Oh?
None.
'Tis a shame, because I love benchmarking stuff and seeing which emulators share the same bugs.
When compatibility is high enough, I use POPStarter so I don't have to burn a CD
I still use Ootake for pc engine games on an old desktop running windows 7.
I just use RetroArch for everything now, but I used to adore Fusion.
I wish it was open source...
Kega Fusion is still flat out a good emulator. It was programmed by a 32X developer and in my experience plays everything perfectly.
