Do you emulate games?

I fuck around with emulators but I never actually beat any game on them.

I am actually up to the City level in Odyssey on Yuzu.

Average of 40fps on my i7-3770

Is it higher resolution than on a Switch at least?

>Is it higher resolution than on a Switch at least?
You can up it yes but it's not cost free like cemu for now

Any idea how an i5 9600k would run it? And how is the PS3 emu? I have a PS3 I just haven't bothered to hack since I would have to open it and install some shit last I checked. Not worth the effort when I don't even know what game I would play.

Yes, but I don't emulate shitty modern consoles. Go download stella and emulate a real console, or hell, Vice and emulate a real computer.

Does games like Bayonetta finally work?
Been years and the emulator(s) are still a fucking mess aside from that 2 or 3 games.

>Any idea how an i5 9600k would run it?
It's all about GHz like in the old times

The closer you can get to 4.0 GHz and above the better it is

Given the early this emulator was introduced and seeing its actual state, no, it's not worth it, but that fact alone makes it interesting enough. The sooner they start development, the sooner they work better.

>>Needs a $1500 pc to work
500$ and why don't you have one?

For now. Emulators actually can go online, and even Cemu has been able to connect to official servers, albeit currently that one can only do so with dumped files so it's a bit of a moot point.

Should I keep the preferred SPU threads setting at 4 for all games, not just Demon's Souls?

Last thing I emulated was Skyward Sword a few months ago.

Bought an old wii-mote and got a usb sensor from ali for 3$. Game looked mindblowing in high resolution, better than most modern games.

The controls sucked, but I can't tell if it's from a damaged wii mote or just natural but I 100% the game either way and last bosses fights were really good

it's also about tsx that all haswell and newer intel cpus have

God we need a Drakengard 4 with her following one of the unresolved timelines

This. I'm not getting a PS4 for BB, Gravity Rush 2 and The Last Guardian. An emulator called Orbital popped up but if there is any progress it will take years.

WHERE DO I FIND SWITCH AND WII/U GAMES

I never played unleashed but I just watched that video and honestly, what the fuck was that? Wasn’t Sonic a platforming game at one point? That was a 3 minute QTE.

There's not a lot worth emulating on Switch, half the games are ports of Wii U games that play better on CEMU or other games that are either on PC or emulatable
Wii U games are great on PC though, playing 3D World upscaled is nice

try rutracker

>ow does the Switch emulator even deal with the parts of games like Mario Odyssey where motion controls are NEEDED to clear an obstacle?
No parts of odyssey require motion controls. Otherwise just hook up a Switch Pro controller and play as usual

Yeah, all of the Ace Combat games set in Strangereal except Air Combat and Ace Combat 2, aka the non-canonical ones, on Retroarch, PCSX2, PPSSPP and Citra. Now I'm waiting for Xenia to improve enough to be able to emulate AC6 properly and preferably at 60 FPS.

Ziperto has Wii U

No one hates on the day stages of unleashed. It's the unfun werehog stages that take up over half the game people hate

Im in the minority of those who found it fun, but it's definitely not sonic gameplay for sure, more like old god of war

Yes. Last night I was emulating Robot Alchemic Drive on my Ryzen 2500U+Vega8 laptop.
Required some hacks to bypass my laptops limiters (curse you HP and your artificial limitations. Even unlocked to 25/30w tdp this laptop gets nowhere near hot enough to even reach its regular thermal limit. You don't need max battery life if its plugged into the power adapter), and to optimise performance of pcsx2. (High priority and hyperthreading off)
Set the speed hacks to on and the sliders both to 1 and this game works fine. Fun game too. Very unique.

Sure, played Nier, Drakengard 3 and Dragon's Crown on rpcs3. Right now I'm using Dolphin though to play Xenoblade Chronicles.

Honestly can't count how many games I played on emulators. It allowed me to play all the classics I missed having never had a console.

I've heard PS2 emulation is still pretty bad, how true is that?

beggar tier. I suppose its alright if you dont want to invest 100 bucks for fatps2, fmcb, hard drive and hdd expansion.

Well its not terrible but its far from perfect.
You have to set it up on a game by game basis quite often. Typically setting both speed hack sliders to 1 is good but some games hate it and run better on 0. Other games need the software renderer to run right like Ape Escape 3 I think.
Software renderer is obviously very slow too. You need a strong PC to be able to use it. Otherwise you can run most things on an modern i5 processor with integrated graphics at stock resolution.
Except some specific case games which need real beefy specs. God of War, I think is notorious for needing high specs. Its the same with the PSP versions but I could be mixing them up a bit too.
Compared to Dolphin its not so good. Dolphin has some amazing optimisations though. I managed to run Super Mario Sunshine on a N3450 Celeron processor once.

For some games it's pretty bad. Games like MGS2 and MGS3 still have slowdowns during cutscenes and weird graphical glitches that can be fixed but require a beast CPU. The PCSX2 wiki is pretty good to get an idea how certain games are running.

Yeah Dolphin is amazing. I hope the PS2 one continues to improve.

MGS2 has a PC version at least.

which is its own can of worms but if you can get it running on windows 10 it's better than ps2 emulation at least.

Just remember that AMD emulates like shit when compared to Intel.

>AMD
You need to be 18 to post here.
Every sane adult buys Intel

That's what I was getting at, but AMD drones still claim other wise.

I wonder if Astral Chain will become playable on Yuzu right after being released or we will be forced to wait for a year.

what was the point of this post

this is a meme. 99% of games can be played by adjusting the resolution to what your system can handle. some games can run at 6x res just fine, some less. there isn't much else you have to do per-game aside from niche shit

i played through both at higher than normal res on a 2500k and pretty old ati card with no slowdowns

It is because the entire emulator is built upon hacks upon hacks. It took them over 10 years to get to this point. To make it any better it will require a start over. And none of them are willing to do it. So it will be forever stuck at
Good enough tier check wiki for settings

Its also one of the rare few emulators that can actually run BETTER in Linux because the Linux version can use Vulkan really well.
Vulkan renderer in Windows is a mess and doesnt look to improve anytime soon. DX12 got discontinued (sad because it usually worked better than Dolphin and sometimes even the DX11 in some handful of games on low end hardware but i see why they would prioritise Vulkan over it though).
On my GPD Win 2, in Linux, I was able to maintain a full 50fps on the PAL version of Brawl, with 8 ice climbers on New Pork City, max items, with the final smash going off. That's on a 7Y30 with a Intel HD620. That's amazing quite honestly. (It did slowdown in PAL60 though, so that's the hardware limitations coming in)

The progress on RPCS2 is fucking amazing. On my relatively old 4790k DeS is playable in stable framerate from the beginning to end, including 1-1 which lagged like shit even on consoles.

>what was the point of this post
Pledge my allegiance to Israel

DeS without blur and aliasing is kino

Fix your aspect ratio you trained chimp. How can people play things like this?

RPCS3 is such a shit emulator. Almost nothing works and it's filled with glitches and bugs.

Demon's souls requiring Windows 10 because the devs are total shit is a joke, and it's funny how they claimed for over a year it was fully playable.

dolphin's dx12 render was rewritten, its back

Wii - you can hook up real wii controleer to a pc with all motion controls. But also can just emulate certain motion contols to a single button.
DS screen - just draw with a mouse on the screen.
Blow - use mic or again, simulate mic input with a button.

How to spot a liar

Win 7 has official DX12 support now.

Saint Seiya Brave Soldiers and Saint Seiya Sanctuary Battle.

I've been contemplating getting a switch because I'm hoping Rune Factory will be followed up by a Story of Seasons game. But those are the only two interesting games and considering the progress emulators are making with the switch already, I'm pretty sure I won't waste hundreds of bucks.

what's wrong with it?

Is that implemented already? I heard it was coming. But also that the OS is getting discontinued too.

no it doesn't, thats for halo only

It's not. Most games have minor, easily-fixable issues at worst and every game can be played with no issue in software mode (provided you have a recent CPU).

Nah, I finally decided to stick with flash carts/HDDs on the real thing because of how piss poor some emulators are like the N64, Genesis (mainly because of the sound. Gameplay is fine, but I'm a Genesisfag so the sound is unacceptable to me), and then some other ones that are considered to be awesome but have a shit ton of issues like the ps2

You're asking what's wrong with a stretched image?

>Is emulating the switch really worth it ?
Right now? Probably not, but as much as you might think otherwise the point of emulation isn't piracy of currently-available products.

>You are handed a 10-inch thick stack of manuals written by Japanese hardware engineers. The first time you read the stack, nothing makes any sense at all. The second time your read the stack, the 3rd book makes a bit more sense because of what you learned in the 8th book. The machine has 10 different processors (IOP, SPU1&2, MDEC, R5900, VU0&1, GIF, VIF, GS) and 6 different memory spaces (IOP, SPU, CPU, GS, VU0&1) that all work in completely different ways. There are so many amazing things you can do, but everything requires backflips through invisible blades of segfault. Getting the first triangle to appear on the screen took some teams over a month because it involved routing commands through R5900->VIF->VU1->GIF->GS oddities with no feedback about what your were doing wrong until you got every step along the way to be correct. There was a debugger for the main CPU (R5900). It worked pretty OK. For the rest of the processors, you just had to write code without bugs.

Nah, i really enioyed smt nocturne with savestates more. Let aside the qol improvements, like taking a break from the game whenever etc. Smt nocturne has a few instant death attacks, that you can't immunize your party completely against and they come quite randomly, and you are at risk of losing progress rather constantly in certain areas.
And of course, the monster fusion with random skill inheritance can be a pain aswell.

Sheet, at one point i used action replay codes for 8x exp gain, and had a blast playing the game. You see, this kind of versatility and easy access is the greatest argument for emulation.

Why are you so obsessed with how people enjoy their entertainment? Your insecurities are showing.

Savestates are about alleviating tedium, not reducing challenge. You are incredibly pretentious.

I like emulation, but playing on the real hardware feels better to me.

You are obsessed about turning an entertainment medium into a symbol of intellectual worth. That's pathetic.

Yeh I emulated psov2 on reicast and played online in a server with 1 player online, me.

It's pretty much flawless, I had 3 crashes in 65hrs and there's an annoying shadow bug sometimes but otherwise it ran great. There's no motion control stuff, you get the mini map and messages on the gamepad screen which you can have open in another window or press ctrl+tab to open the gamepad over the game.

Plus you can play the de-censored version.

That's plenty, mine is overclocked a bit but I'm running all games in at least 4k, some 5k or 7k, with reshade added on top just fine. Of course it depends on the game and some run like shit no matter what.

torrents
nobody is working on it anymore and it requires a decent gpu to run. to make it better you have to redo the emulator. It has the ability to play games from the disc which is nice.

How mental and deluded are you pc drone? Sega genesis, snes, nes and all retro consoles play better on original hardware without shitty glitches, lag, terrible sound or stupid bad processing of shadows.

The framerate on original hardware is often horrible and barely playable. Most emulated games run smoother and the glitches are usually minor visual glitches that don't affect gameplay.

Save states are for cucks but I dont have anything against resume states like Nintendo introduced on the Wii U roms or that the PS4/Vita has for the entire system via sleep mode.

It's a shit game don't bother.

Upgrade

No one hates on the day stages except for classic cucks. What people despise is medal collecting and Werehog stages.
Even if you don't hate Werehog stages yourself, you have to recognize 20-30 minute stages in a Sonic game is horrendous, especially so if it's some stupid beat-em up gameplay.

I don't understand the meme around PS2 emulation being bad.
I've played a handful of games using it and only had literally one game not work with it (Metropolismania 1), and I don't bother looking at wikis or adjusting my setting per game.
Meanwhile Dolphin is praised as this perfectly developed emulator, but I try to play popular games on it and some of them will be graphically glitched to high heaven or flat out unplayable.

I'm not sure anyone would know, but it can't hurt to ask. I can play Demon's Souls on RPCS3, but any time there's a physics interaction; i.e. kicking a corpse, the game just hard freezes for me. Is there any (known) cause/fix for that?

PS2 emulation is actually pretty good if you use the latest builds, the "stable" release on the official website is horrible performance wise compared to the current builds.
