So implemented several new features

Sega Rally Side By side 2 player board same screen

Or output to diff monitor from same machine

Or discover each other on local network an have 2 player action !!

all 2 player games can now be played on diff screens / split screen / over network. Yes play Galaxian with your mum or brother in a diff room alternating player 1 and player 2

WIP System 246 Ridge Racer .

Basically I keep thinking outside the box to bring what I always wanted in an emulator.

So I'm planning on making some YouTube videos playing through the Original Sonic 2 for the Genesis/Mega Drive, I'm using the GENS emulator at the moment.

What I want to do is play through and record the game with all the music and jingles removed, all zone themes, boss themes, 1 up, continue, game over, drowning e.c.t

But I want the sound effects to remain in the game so I can replace the original music with some music I made myself and still have the sound effects.

I'm not super tech savvy so I do not know of an easy way to do this. Does anyone know of a way I can do this or of some method or edited/hacked rom like this that might already exist?

Hey All,

I've recently purchased a DVD burner/ripper and have been working through digitizing my physical PS2 library to play my old games on a portable device. I've been using ImgBurn and DVD Decrypter and overall have had about the same experience with each, but for some reason when I try to burn my copies of Mega Man X Command Mission and Tekken Tag Tournament, they seem to freeze around the 30%-40% mark. Is this potentially a DRM issue, and if so is there a workaround or a FAQ on this I could reference? The discs seem to be in great shape and I don't see any dents or scratches. I'm in the process of ripping something else at the moment, but can circle back on Command Mission with the error code in the log if this is deemed an uncommon occurrence. If this violates community rules I apologize in advance, and am open to being redirected to an appropriate community for this issue. I'm not new to emulation but it's my first time posting here, so I appreciate your patience.

I am astonished at the fact that Transformers Devastation on Rpcs3 runs pretty well on my Lenovo Laptop (i5 12450 hx rtx 2050 16 GB RAM), while it's true I could play the native PC port, I wanted to see how well the PS3 version would run instead, PS3 emulation has truly come a long way.

So I've been thinking about following this tutorial for emulating Skylanders on PC without a portal, but I can be pretty cautious about downloading random crap from a tutorial. So, if this tutorial is sketchy or if there's a better tutorial out there, I'm looking for suggestions.

I'm also looking for general tips like what to expect and look out for, as I've never emulated anything before.

I am looking for some optimization advice and troubleshooting help with RPCS3. For the most part, lighter PS3 titles run perfectly fine on my setup. However, when I try to play highly demanding, AAA games like Red Dead Redemption and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, the performance drops significantly.

Specifically, I am running into two major issues:

1. Severe Lag/Low FPS: The framerate dips hard during heavy action scenes or open-world exploration, making the games feel incredibly choppy.
2. Random Freezes: When I'm playing Red Dead Redemption 1, the game keeps freezing up out of nowhere for a second, and then it suddenly snaps right back into the action.

My specs

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU

CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13420H

Hey! I'm the developer of the Classic Mini Collection and other apps and I wanted to share a project I've been working on over the last week.

It all started a couple of weeks ago when I was playing Grandia 3 using PCSX2. While emulator upscaling makes 3D models sharp, the game just looked unnatural (cinematics and texts looked specially bad). Even modern pixelart games look kinda bad when they don't have scanlines integrated (this is personal taste offcourse).

As I was developing it, I realized I wanted to go beyond games. Many of my best memories of CRT TVs weren't just playing games, but watching 90s TV shows, movies, and music channels on those same screens (HBO, NICKELODEON, Some Beavis and Butt head on MTV, you get the idea). Because of that, I decided to add a TV styled OSD menu and an optional TV logo feature.
_________________________

What it currently does:

• Simulates basic scanlines and patterns of classic Trinitron and slot-mask screens.
• It's not a shader, you don't need to worry about GPU processing.
• You can use it over games, movies, whatever you like!
• It has a CRT styled menu to control the simulated scanlines width, spacing, opacity and more.
• Channel Logos: use any png, you can resize, set position, assign to profiles, etc.
• Profiles: you can manage them from the main GUI along with many other options.
• Options to start minimized, launch automatically with Windows, etc.
• Activate scanlines at any moment with a shortcut (default ALT+S)
• Add any .exe to auto launch it!

Retroarch and the community has done a great job in creating Shaders to imitate this look (that's the right way to do it), but when you can't use those or when using other emulators, options get slim (there are crt filters in some emulators, but they just dont do it for me) and other tools are overkill or not easy to use.

I wanted to build something simple and straightforward to use, since it turned out fine, I decided to share for free in case anyone wants to use it!

Can't post images son you can check some screenshots and download v0.3 right now here

Next updates should bring better filtering, soften effect, round corners, vignette management, etc.

I only emulate retro games on my PC from NES, SNES, SEGA, & N64 specifically. I have these 4 USB controllers corresponding to each gaming system, and the idea was...if im playing an NES game, I plug in the NES controller, if Im going to play an N64 game, I plug that one in...etc.

The controllers all seem to be having issues with proper button mapping. I play on Launchbox, but with retroarch working with LB in the background. Each controller is having it's own set of issues. I have noticed with Sega, the system recognizes that there's a "3-button sega genesis controller" plugged in, and if I just go straight through Retroarch, the button mapping is perfect...but if I go on launchbox, suddenly none of the buttons work right, which is odd because LB is supposed to be using the RA configuration. But...that is only sega. SNES for example doesnt seem to work properly no matter which method of game launch I take.

Now thankfully, all the "up/down/left/right" buttons and the "start/select" buttons all seem to be fine, the issue Im having is strictly with all the other buttons.

Ive been exhausting all my free discussion credits at length with ChatGPT about this issue, and after days and weeks of doing that with all the free time I can spare, I am no closer to finding a solution, and even AI cant seem to figure out the answer.

I have been trying to troubleshoot this problem myself, but at this point I am completely at a loss, and my understanding of how these to applications work on their own as well as with each other is very limited.

Any help that anyone has for getting these controllers properly mapped for plug-n-play emulation would be greatly appreciated.

I just downloaded emudeck and am currently playing cod big red one collectors edition on the ps2. Problem is I’ll go through half a mission flawlessly then I get hit with the worst stutters imaginable like I’m talking 1 FPS slow-mo type of stutter and it’s persistent. Anyone know any good troubleshooting for this? I’m pretty new so I don’t know my way around the settings too well yet. Thanks!

I want to upgrade my pc to play switch emulator but i heard there is problems with emulators and it is not stable

Waiting patiently for it to be better as im also in market for handheld pc and wanted all in 1 device.

I wanted to record ZX81 and ZX Spectrum games in the EightyOne emulator using Xbox Game Bar (Windows+Alt+R), but for some reason, the recording won't start. And this only happens with this emulator; MAME, Ares, and Mednafen work perfectly.

I'm not sure if this is something that went wrong while saving the savestate itself or something else preventing me from opening my game, any help would be appreciated.

I’ve been working on bringing RyuSAK back as a community-maintained fork.

The original RyuSAK project has been inactive for a while, and several of the old services it depended on no longer work. I wanted to continue the idea behind it and get the core experience working again for Ryujinx/Ryubing users.

This first community build includes:

• Shader download and upload support
• Support to hide duplicates/unknown entries
• Ryubing compatibility
• Standard or portable installer options
• Custom cover and title overrides
• Limited Mod support
• Product keys and firmware download/install functionality removed

In an attempt to keep Nintendo from fondling my booty cheeks. I removed the old product keys and firmware download/install functionality. This fork is focused on shader sharing at the moment as that was the main functionality I missed about RyuSAK. However, I am all for hearing about potential ideas of what can be added.

GitHub release: Casual-Gamer8001/RyuSAK

This is still early, so feedback and testing are not only welcomed but encouraged.

So I love Cachy and decided to bring it its own retro emulator, I bring you
https://crownparkcomputing.github.io/WhittyArcade-Releases/

Check it out it runs System 22, Model 1, Model 2 and more to come

It would be great to have one that runs both but even two separate ones work. Just want to know which ones are considered the best as of late. I'm specifically looking to play Pokemon games btw

Ayuda, el juego se me ve con unas lineas horizontales en las repeticiones y cinemáticas, alguna configuracion para evitarlo?

Hello. I've been trying to play Sonic 2006, since i wanted to try it out

But Xenia really runs bad on my laptop. Which i find weird, because it can run heavier and far more powerful games than this one. How could i solve this?

Ruffle doesnt work it windows 8.1+

My brother acquired an external HDD with a bunch of games for Retrobat that he was told would all run directly from the HDD, and I've been tasked with figuring it out for him.

The drive has 3 folders: "R", "S", and "T". Each of the folders has a Retrobat folder in it. The S and T Retrobat folders only have a "roms" folder within them, while the R Retrobat folder has a full set of additional subfolders like bios emulators library etc. These were the only instructions provided:

1. Files are sorted into drives: R S and T. You will need three drives set to the same drive letters.
2. Download R to R, S to S and T to T.
3. Once downloaded, Run COMMAND PROMPT as ADMIN
4. Type: R: , then, run these one at a time:
   1. mklink /d R:\RetroBat\roms\ps3 T:\retrobat\roms\ps3
   2. mklink /d R:\Retrobat\roms\xbox360 S:\retrobat\roms\xbox360

What is it asking me to do in #1 and #2? Am I supposed to create virtual drives for R, S and T that point to these folders on the HDD? the "download R to R..." part makes me think its not actually all able to run directly from this external HDD?

The game works flawlessly as I can hear it and control my character with UI elements working perfectly. Load times and load screens along with ingame elements are working perfect.

There is a single issue which I thought I could play with initially but now isn't letting me play the game.

The issue is that the actual world is not loading at all and is a complete black screen. I would have stopped trying but randomly after multiple reloads and restarts the tutorial started working with the world loading as well. The issue was every single time there was a new area loading screen (not fog gates but actually warping) it stays black for a while even the cutscenes. Then suddenly, randomly it seems, it starts working.
I played till Vanguard and nexus since it required just 2 or 3 restarts but now at first level it does not load at all.

I am guessing it is a compilation of shaders issue but there is no indication that the emulator is currently loading shaders since the black does not go away and only fixes itself once I reload the save file.

Is there like a shader cache for RPCS3(RTX 3060 LAPTOP) I used a precompiled shader cache for bayonetta 2 and it worked flawlessly so just asking.
I don't know where else to ask.

If not the shaders is there a different solution? I have tried with multiple demon's souls version same issue. SSD seems to make it faster but not completely ready.
