The State of Emulation: A Guide to What You Can Emulate
I've covered a few of the popular frontends with which you can use to launch your emulators, but what about the emulators themselves? Just how deep does the rabbit hole go, and just exactly what is possible through emulation?
Today, I'm taking you on a journey from the 8- and 16-bit eras, right on through to the PS3 and the Nintendo Switch, just so I can show what's possible on modern hardware.

    So I bought a PS2 recently and was playing on a PVM. I liked it alot! Crisp image. I got THPS4 and thought, let me check it on PCSX2. Man, I shouldn’t have done that. I tuned the graphics and those PS2 Games are looking soooo good.

    Personally, the only frontends I use are for emulators that otherwise only run from the command line. Not so much because I'm afraid of the command line, but because they usually have so many options that just getting a game up and running with an actual controller is an exercise in frustration. Personally, I've never liked all-in-one emulators that emulate several different systems at once, as they usually don't have the same level of features as dedicated programs. For example, Mednafen emulates the PS1, and while it may have more accurate emulation than others, it has almost no options for upscaling and smoothing the image. On the other hand, it does do a better job emulating the Atari Lynx, than any of the old stand-alone emulators. I'd rather have discreet emulators for each system. The exception being when the systems are related, like Fusion emulating all the Sega cartridge systems. Anyway, that feeling has carried over to frontends as well. I don't want to have to configure the frontend to run each emulator, and then also have to configure the emulators. Plus, without adding screenshots and maybe even videos to show you what the games look like, you don't get that slick menu that everyone finds so appealing. The best option is when the emulator itself has a nice frontend. Like PPSSPP, or even Stella.

Even remote ssh login for the die hards. different install options; portable, dedicated os, dual boot. really worth a try.

    You need a more powerful CPU to emulate the more demanding PS3 games on RPCS3. Uncharted and The Last Of Us should run a lot smoother on a 12th Gen i7 or 12th Gen i9, or even a Zen4 AMD CPU. All of these support AVX-512, which improves PS3 performance ten fold.

    • @TallDarkRetro
      @TallDarkRetro 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      And I get that, but what makes a game playable (according to the official RPCS3 compatibility list) is that you don't need higher end hardware to get a game to run. That's why something like God of War III or the Uncharted games are only listed as ingame, for the moment. The hardware requirements right now are too high. And even on my machine, I can run The Last of Us or Uncharted, some areas run just fine... but for the most part, they just aren't optimal experiences.

      Most of the emulators I've used will run the games fine, but usually I find flaws in things like menus (lines running through the display, characters not highlighting on the selection screens, etc). Killer Instinct Gold I can't get to run perfectly no matter what emulator I use, although the gameplay is fine no matter what I choose, and that's what counts.

  • @Imgema

    A few things: - 3 frames of run ahead is too high for Mario World. The game has 2 frames of lag natively so you shouldn't put more. - Graphics emulation on N64 doesn't have anything to do with the emulation core. It has to do with the graphics plugin. Parallel RDP is the accurate one that's almost perfect. Also, avoid the "Parallel" core. -The Hyperspin hard disks you can buy online are TERRIBLE. The only good thing about them is they come loaded with roms and ISOS.

    Something I always recommend to people who are getting into emulating retro games is to get yourself the original controllers for whatever system you are emulating. A consoles identity is heavily tied into how its controllers feel. An obvious and perhaps a more extreme example would be the n64 controller with super mario 64. The games in older systems were made with that systems controller in mind. More modern systems like the xbox series, playstation and switch pro controllers are all fairly standarised nowdays, so it matters less imo.

    • @ssjbargainsale

      Yeah, I have controllers for most consoles I emulate, at least where it makes sense. I wont get one for gameboy for example, cause the snes is perfect for it, but anything sega or the N64 require its own controllers. Also, ps2, ps3 and og xbox need pressure sensitivity for a few games. Never use one controller for all. Its not a great experience

    • @TallDarkRetro
      @TallDarkRetro 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I thought about getting a few usb controllers for that purpose, but the thing I like about emulation is the convenience of having everything on one machine, and being able to use one controller for everything. I grew up with the NES in the late 80s, and I've had just about every Nintendo, Sega, and Sony console since. I get the authenticity of it, but I have drawers filled with dozens of controllers, and it clutters up space. But I agree, especially with Nintendo's older consoles, those games were designed with specific control schemes in mind.

    Ranking Mario movies from worst to best (so far) 1. The Super Mario Bros. Movie (oh boy, here comes the hate from the critics and other “Disney shills” that would defend the flaws of their recent movies like the live-action remakes, but I don’t care, while I respect that this movie isn’t everyone’s cup of tea even with approximately 1.4 billion dollars at the box office it made, I had a lot of fun with it because of its animation, orchestral pieces and… weird choices for licensed music, Princess Peach having more personality than just being a strong female character as she does it with a very good heart, and this movie just simply being a fun action film in a fantastical realm, and I am so hyped for the sequel and can’t wait for it to fix what the original did wrong and keep what made it so charming before we can get another sequel to be the highest-grossing film since Avatar, “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” with all the grandeur and cataclysmically beautiful animation the Wii game has) 2 & 3. The other Mario movies (I guess you could say they are beautiful messes because while very flawed, they do have a nostalgic late 80s - early 90s charm and doesn’t completely have their hearts in the wrong place, except for Princess Peach choosing a generic stereotype of princes that is Prince Haru over Mario, despite doing as much work, maybe even more while she proved herself to be capable of defending herself like most other Mario characters.)

    i think trying to make a good movie about Mario is kind of futile since Nintendo doesn't really have consistent lore for the Mario series they just made things up .and a lot of the character design was because of hardware limitations like mushrooms and turtles were just easier to draw than many other things on 8 bit hardware. even Zelda or Metroid would make for much better movies

      Yes, which is why Nintendo can get away with what they did with the current Mario film. But with Zelda and definitely Metroid, they actually have to try.

    i think that while the new one was better it seemed like they tried to shove too much stuff from the games in there so its the opposite extreme of the 1993 movie that had almost nothing in common and it was made by boomers seeing a handful of screenshots of the games and then just making things up. you now how most people born before 1970 are when it comes to video games and back then that was most of the adult population . it seems like the new one tried to over compensate for the flaws of the 1993 movie.

      Oh wow, I wanted to mention (almost) the same thing! Rain World is my favorite game, and when I first saw it some 4 years ago, it reminded me of Limbo. I'm glad it's not just me, even if it's the other way around
