OP here, if you're on Debian (prolly ubuntu aswell) you need the following dependencies for building the PS2 Recompiler
> sudo apt install libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-dev

oh for god's sake, fuck VU1

You westoids think emulation lets you escape current-day reality? Lol. Hand over your DRAM. You won’t be needing that GPU either. Here, enjoy Frame Gen and DLSS 8 Extreme. Remote compute on bloated androidslop is next, you’ll be another brown jeet soon anyway.

thanks for the advice normie/boomer

why? its not infringing the copyright of sony playstation 2 or their games, right?
Same way an emulator isnt infringing the copyright of the console they emulate, thats why they dont include the bios or often emulate teh bios by default rather than shipping with it

They're not distributing protected material so it should be fine

PSX emulator on Retropie looks so dogshit in a modern screen at 480p, its just ugly
I have a feeling it would look so much better on a CRT, but my BananaPi for emulation only has a HDMI-out and i dont have the lil converter thing
is it worth buying the HDMI to composite/scart ? How much input lag can i expect from it?

shouldn't we be doing recompilations for all consoles now and killing emulation altogether?

>>555361721
Isn't recompilation still emulation, just at a much higher level?

>>555362567
perhaps, it seems to be the future tho, surprises me it's done on hard to emulate consoles first instead of on gba or nes or whatever

>>555362816
Funny that you mention GBA, because we got a decomp/port of Sonic Advance 2 not too long ago.
https://github.com/SAT-R/sa2

based nintendo is releasing two unreleased virtual boy games on the switch soon. can't wait for those to be ripped so i can emulate them.

>>555363061
I think i remember people complaining about there being an very old audio emulation issue in sa2. I wonder if this fixes it.

SP must pay for his crimes.

>>555362567
if a game is compiled for PC, it means it runs natively on PC.
Recompiling a game from PS2 to PC basically means porting it to PC. You're making a native PC version of the game.

You wouldnt call the PC version of NFS Most Wanted "emulation", would you?

God, the Deck's touchscreen is such dogshit.

I don't need no PS2 recompilation
I don't need PCSX2 with the latest hacky mess refraction and lightingterror has concocted
I need that Norwegian fuck TheMaister take a break from proton to finish Parallel-GS which is THIS close to perfection for emulating PS2

widescreen hacks for many emulators are very popular, but are ultrawide hacks available? I'm switching to ultrawide this month or the next and I'll finally start playing the games, hopefully I can use the entire screen

id really love to turn my PC into a media center / emulation station. Right now im running RetrOrangePi on a BananaPi M2-Zero which is quite hacky and not officially supported. Should i just hook up my i7 laptop to the TV ?

>>555362567
Yes. Only the main logic of the game is being recompiled. All the audio and gpu functionality still has to be emulated. Making a proper "port" would take far more effort.

>>555370613
>All the audio and gpu functionality
the potential is absolutely insane then, stuff like the GBA which has the worst audio chip ever made in it, replacing the audio files for high quality oggs would be a game changer

Do you guys use PC CRTs or TV CRTs for emulation? or just regular flatscreens?

Saying this is as a 3440x1440 user myself (tho it's not my gaming display, that would be my 4K oled tv), don't expect too much. the hud stretching from 16:9 is bad enough, let alone 21:9. But yes they exist for PCSX2, prolly Dolphin, and recompiled PC ports.
https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-PCSX2-Ultrawide-Eyefinity-Patches

But for emulation I just stick with native ratio most of the time because stretched huds are often really really ugly. However, some games support 16:9 natively, so when stretching those to 21:9 it doesn't seems bad at all, depending on the game.
There's a few emus that don't stretch the hud when hacking the ratio scale, like Supermodel, where instead the hud is centered which I find a lot better. You'll want to use flawless widescreen for regular games too.

>>555372429

If I can, I emulate on my wii which is hooked up to a crt tv. If I can't then I emulate on my pc with my crt monitor. It's not nearly the same effect but at least I get some phosphor decay and motion clarity and with a simple ntsc shader it looks ok.

Lately I've been seeing more broken PS3s and 360s than Genesis' and SNES'. In fact, a friend of mine still has a working Genesis from the '90s that sees frequent use but he's gone through, like, four PS3s. Why are those two so dogshit?

>>555375662
90nm ps3s use a lot of power, the 40nm revisions never die

so can i disable mtvu (vu1) in pcsx2 like dolphin devs started asking people to disable dual core because newer cpus are powerful enough? im gonna start trying disabling it. already doing it in gtasa and it works fine

examples of what? pcsx2 working fine without mtvu? well i just tried gtasa for a few minutes and it worked fine but i wouldnt try it with gow2, mgs3 or gt4. i guess i will leave it disabled and only enable it in titles that demand it.

>>555381947
examples of games exhibiting problems with mtvu enabled that go away when it's turned off
otherwise why'd you ever want to do it

>>555374646
Nice
i still have my Wii with homebrew. Its hooked up to a widescreen CRT though, which apparently is bad for input lag, but it could be great for DVDs.

>>555381947
>>555378538
Back in the day I tried disabling both MTVU and Instant VU1, but in some cases that caused issues instead of giving more “accurate” emulation. After that, I’ve always stuck with the recommended default settings. Some games still have problems with the VU1 recompiler anyway, so it is what it is.

>>555356238
so it just magically converts all the system calls into something windows understands without relying on an emulation layer? wow!

>>555382216
no, no examples of mtvu problems at all, its just me being autistic because dolphin said dual core was a speed hack and it was no longer needed so i think mvtu is the same thing when it very well may not even be the same at all

electronic parts during the mid 2000s were of really poor quality, resulting in pretty much any device made during the time period break down rather quickly. Combine that with poor case designs of both the PS3 and the 360 providing poor airflow and how much heat they generate and you have yourself a lot of ticking timebombs out there.

I'm convinced that 90% or more of the shaders RA ships with are just plain broken.

I was thinking, if at 120hz+ you can literally insert blackframes every other frame and the human eye interprets it as a dimmer image rather than flickering, couldn't you like... alternate between two slightly different versions of the same image and the eye would interpret it as one image with twice the resolution...?

no it's easy you just take every 6502 instruction and replace it with the equivalent x86 instruction and then it just works

>>555368325
I don't think a cooler software renderer will fix PCSX2 (you still need to supply an emulator with this im assuming) literally doing approximations when it comes to emulating floating points, which by the way introduces a lot of (mostly unnoticeable) inaccuracies in a lot of games, and completely breaking a few (like Stuntman and Driv3r).
Which, by the way, is being tackled on, but very on and off, the guy making soft-float disappears for lengthy periods of time, but it already does address a lot of aforementioned inaccuracies. May completely make it possible to play a lot of games without hacks and patches, despite it being slow as fuck.

no, the final result should be a port that runs native on pc usig probably opengl/direct3d, this means even old pentium 4(or early dual core CPUs) PCs with 512 Mbs RAM that don't have the power enought to run properly pcsx2 should be able to run the recompilations

I would argue it is, basically it goes

all are doing pretty much the same thing just at different levels

The main advantage of recompilation is since you have to work on it on a per game basis anyway, any supported game is going to have a bunch of game specific fixes and "hacks" that make the experience nicer. There are other advantages like better performance, but overall I don't understand the hype.

>>555381541
>vulkan was not better
Uhh... but it was?
The only thing that made you think it wasn't was, like that Anon said, incompetency from the PCSX2 devs misusing the API.

>The code generated by a recomp is unlabeled spaghetti.
Not really, it's simply undocumented. Lacking in readable labels.
You can still use a debugger, spot functions in real time as they're executed and, based on what they do, give them sensible labels.
The same can't be said about raw machine code because THAT is actual spaghetti because such code isn't going to be anywhere near as readable as a recomp's.

>It's probably easier to work with than raw machine code
Not even remotely close.

>but not by a lot.
Not a lot lmao, period.

Anyway, I thought of a sensible use case for this.

For now it only works on interpreters, so I guess no recompilers or hacks for those, yeah. Maybe eventually.

That's how 480i field rendering worked. Half res games faked into full screen true SD by flickering every other lines per 30hz.
This is why some PS2 games at native res are only 240p when deinterlacing them.
Nice trick to get more performance out of the PS2 and less memory overhead, while other consoles were basically architectured to display true 480p for every frames instead.

For 4 black frames you'd have to have brightness slider set to 0.25.
That's the theoretical maximum clarity improvement for a 240hz panel
You can just set it at 0.3-0.35. It's worse but should be bright enough for a dim room

>>555464267
you mean the gain vs blur slider? and 0.750

>>555464480
you're not getting much out of it when it's 0.75 bro
0.5 is just 2x clarity improvement
0.25 is 4x

however there's no point in going below 60/your refresh rate because you wouldn't have enough refreshes to display it
you do realize real CRTs are dim right? like 100 nits max
you're not supposed to be able to use it on a sunny day, especially with your 300 nit monitor

>>555464674
it gets dimmer as you lower it and being too dim is the problem

>>555464718
Well duh, because you're seeing a black screen for most of the time
if you set it to 0.3 then it should be roughly 100 nit bright when your monitor is set to 100% brightness which it should be if you're using shader beam

Like Calibre + plugins, or LaunchBox/BigBox with manual PDFs, or something comfier like a custom MediaPortal/Kodi setup, or even just a big-ass PDF library in Sumatra/Okular with tags?

>>555474278
Basically you either have to go through all of the source code and rewrite every single line of platform specific code and basically create an entire framework to handle all the stuff that the game doesn't know about because it was handled by the hardware, or you attempt to intercept the platform specific calls and redirect them to said framework. In either case the results are going to be no better than emulation.

Half the problem with CRT shaders is that you're trying to mathematically define optical illusions

>>555483438
the lawsuit was about From Software hiding half of the game behind a secret, whose conditions to unlock are too hard for the average player.

In eseence, you're paying for 2 games (maybe even 3) but only have access to 1 of them. That's what i was calling "too hard".

If it wasn't too hard, one player out there would have went public by now telling us how to access the hidden game, but that hasn't happened because yes, the secret is too hard.

Are CPU clocks increasing again really the only reason why emudevs are suddenly dropping multi-threading or is there something else?

>>555494805
So which CPU is the real price-to-performance champ these days? The Ryzen 5 9600X?
Gotta be one of the AM5 ones for sure, as far as i know you can upgrade to whatever Zen 6 or whatever comes next.
Intel ("inside") can go fuck itself lol.

>>555495318
Depends on what you're doing. The 7800x3d I think is best price/performance iirc because it's a previous generation. I don't just game though so I have a 9950x in my system (non 3D as those weren't out yet).

Both are on AM5, so they're upgradable to Zen 6 down the line, right?

While I was Autistically trying to get Donkey Kong (Coleco Adam) to work, I stumbled across an emu made with LLM assistance. I'm about to try it out and see if it's any good. (Not having any luck getting Adam ROMs [ddp] to run on any of the ColecoVision shart cores, so I'm going standalone.)

I was scanning through last thread and kept seeing
>https://github.com/libretro/slang-shaders/blob/master/presets/crt-beam-simulator/crt-beam-simulator-fsr-crtroyale-ntsc-svideo.slangp
recommended as a shader preset, I like the look generally speaking but the lack of scanlines kind of bugs me, I thought this was considered one of the best? am I missing something?

>>555519787
probably something you have to specify under the shader parameters

also you can just make your own presets and essentially stack whatever shaders you want (exceptions apply, 99% of the shaders are written by retards and half won't work in a shader chain unless you edit the code yourself)

>>555519787

>>555520452
there's nothing in the presets that relates as far as I can tell and I'm fairly new to the shaders in RA but I'll fiddle around and see if I can get what I'm looking for, it's really nice looking aside from that hangup.
Oddly enough, the none FSR variant shows clear scanlines.

Strange, as mentioned in my last reply I can see them on the version without FSR but not with.

>VGA to BNC
whas that?

>>555521034
Checked it and yeah, same here. Seems like FSR is the play for 480p systems, but you're better off sticking to the non-FSR toggle for 15kHz/240p stuff.

>>555523835
Damn, I guess I'll have to keep that in mind. Thanks for confirming it's not just me, though I do still wonder why FSR is the defining factor there.

- low latency
- smooth gameplay from atari 2600 to Wii U
- don't have to carry around an extra device or charger with you

Eventually I found out you could run Coleco and SGM games via FBNeo, so that was pointless.

>>555588948
BTW, don't even think for a second that you can still have regular-named ROMs. You still gotta look through DATs and make sure you renamed your ROM the exact way FBNeo expects while also zipping it and giving it an abbreviated name ala. MAME.

I like RA too, but it has a few things preventing it from being the ultimate frontend. Firstly, its turbo setup needs to be completely rewritten. No emu should force you to hold one button in order to activate another turbo button. It should be a simple on/off toggle, with the ability to choose as many buttons for turbo input as possible. Secondly (and finally), it needs a dedicated video option for per-pixel overscan. By default, RA does bave an option for disabling overscan, but it's only an on/off toggle that doesn't affect anything. Individual cores vary on how they implement overscan, from worded options, to per-pixel, or not having an overscan option at all. What RA needs is a per-pixel option in the main video tab itself, not individual cores.

All the projection TVs I ever saw always had warnings not to play video games on them. The couple times I tried by like an hour in the colors had completely deconverged and had to be recalibrated. Not sure what the difference is, maybe they just don't like 240p shenanigans or something?

>>555589967
Hope you're not so stupid to believe that 2 ppl RE'd and implemented a gpu from scratch in 2 months while typical attempts take countless years.
