r/EmulationOnPC

This feels like a somewhat stupid question, but it’s something that i’ve found myself wanting. I often hear that there are specific ports of games that are better than others. Is there a way to quickly see all of the consoles a game was released on and what version is the best, or at least the differences between releases?

I grew up a Nintendo kid and I don’t really know what other consoles offer. For example I only just learned there was a Double Dragon Master System port right before deciding to make this post.

I just downloaded the SuperModel emulator and installed Daytona USA 2 Power Edition, but the game is running extremely slowly. It’s smooth and the frame rate is good, but it feels like the game is in slow motion. The audio, on the other hand, seems normal. My PC has an Intel Core i5-3570 and 16 GB of DDR3 RAM. Is my computer too weak, or is there a way to increase the speed by tweaking some settings?

She wants to set up her laptop to play her old ps2 games she never got the chance to finish and asked me to install the emulator for her like I did with her new 3dsxl and duckstation for her old ps1 games she never got to play because she was too busy raising me. The laptop plays ps1 games with no issues, well almost no issues.

(For some reason some ps1 titles drop frames when other characters come into play and will drop the fps to 19.93-19.96. And fps drop and it is always the same number across the board of every single game. I’m assuming that’s just how some games just ran back then as overclocking didn’t always fix it. Sabans power rangers light speed rescue for the ps1 never went above 19.95 in a handful of scenes no matter how high I set the overclock. And the games that were “fixed” only sped up when I set the overclock to like 600%. Weirdly though, there’s no steady climb to a more stable fps for those games. For example 499.9 overclock still caps out a 19.95 fps but 500 exactly suddenly makes the game run at like 200x’s faster)

Anyways… neither here nor there. I’d like to know if I should even go through the effort of setting it up on her computer or not.

Her laptop is a acer aspire 5 5500u processor, amd Radeon graphics, 8 gbs ram and 512GB ssd. Was this the information you guys need? Is there anything else you need me to go find?

I should mention my mom has a very… unique way of preference for playing retro games. She refuses to use enhancements at all. She had me set it up so there were no enhancements at all and it looked, sounded and played exactly as it did when she first played it decades ago. Needless to say being able to run the game at a higher resolution or with extra bits and bobs is not something she wants to do which I imagine makes it a bit easier to run?

I apologize but computer specs are but my thing, I use computers and even set up emulators on pc and SBC handhelds but when it comes to pc specs or classifications I immediately obtain a room temperature IQ. It’s like seeing a video of people speaking gibberish in an American way, i hear my people but I cannot understand them.

Thank you for your help.

I love emulation more than decomp games, but it feels like nowadays everything is becoming a decomp thanks to AI.

Could this eventually kill emulation as we know it in the long term?

Isn't it going to be much harder to maintain thousands of AI decomps than to maintain emulators?

And how are we going to maintain 30 different decomp projects of the same games, decades from now?

Im sure this has been asked many many times in the past, however it's usually someone needing it for graphic intensive games whereas I simply need one to try and watch playstation share screens on my monitor rather than phone. Anyone have good recommendations for one that is relatively trustworthy and virus free?

What's the best Switch emulator for PC right now? Ideally one that replicates the Home menu/UI.

Hi Fam,

I’ve read that Ocarina of Time is incredibly worth playing.

I’d like to emulate it on my PC and I wanted to get your feedback on what the best/safest emulator would be to download. I also would like feedback on the best site to download games would be.

Also, is Keyboard and Mouse a good option? Or should I look to get a specialized controller? I want to make sure I’m experiencing OOT the right way :)

Thank you!!!

Hello, i got into emulating two days ago and just started playing one of my all time favourites god of war 3. The problem is i'm getting around only 20-28 fps and the resolution is not good at all. kratos looks blurry in a distance and okay upclose.

My system configs:
Intel i7-12650H
Nvidia 4060 laptop GPU (8GB)
16GB DDR5 - 4800Mhz
512 SSD.

i was under the impression it would fairly handle this game at high specs given that i've played lot of AAA games on this laptop at high settings in 1080p. I've looked at several youtube videos but everything i've tried made little to no difference. Asking AI models fetched results from reddit so i looked up this subreddit and thought i could ask. Don't mean to sound so dumb, but i'm new to all this and hoping to find some answer.

Anything is appreciated, Thank YOU.

IM DESPERATE SOME SAYS ZIPERTO SOME SAYS OTHER PLEASE GIVE ME A COMPLETELY SAFE ONE

Hello emulation folks

I like using this emulator called Teknoparrot and one day I updated the emulator and some of my games don't work anymore giving me this error

Resolved target KERNEL32.DLL procedure: local=770DD8A0 remote=770DD8A0 rva=0x1D8A0

I uninstalled Teknoparrot and reinstalled it and also installed the supporting .net framework, direct x, and visual c++ all in one installer. I wonder if Teknoparrot is buggy on latest version now? Has anyone else run into this issue and knows the solution for it? Some of my game launch perfectly and some give this error now.

Anyone got a wbfs copy of the game my disc is scratched and my pc is very low end and can’t run iso builder programs

I'm using Ryubing stable, TKMM's optimizer settings, and some mods, but the only one that I would assume to be an issue in terms of performance is "Serfrosts Base Defogger." I'm emulating 1.1.2 because I prefer it but that might also be part of performance, idk.

I'm trying to run the game at 60fps, menu 60fps, 1440p resolution to match my monitor. I've tried lowering shadow texture quality, resolution, render distance, FPS, turning on and off FSR and FXAA and none of them have helped at all. Anyone got some tips for me?

Specs are as follows.
Intel i5 13600k
Nvidia 4070 Super
32gb DDR4 ram
4tb NVMe SSD

Less important specs are 360ml AIO, micro ATX mobo from MSI, a secondary sata SSD, and I think my power supply is 900 but I don't remember.

It's also worth noting that I can run BotW using CEMU with basically no issues whatsoever, using graphics packs to run at 60FPS (I used to run fine at 144 but I decided that was excessive and lowered it), 300% shadow quality, 1440p, the game runs great. I can also run Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity just fine using Ryubing. And TotK still runs awfully even with NO mods installed whatsoever and only using the optimizer. So I don't really know what to do.

As the title suggests, i want to know if i can access the Playstation Store on a PS3 through Emulation on a PC.

The reason for this is that i have a PS Vita and certain games on it's store are not aviliable in the EU, but appearently completely aviliable on a PS3 system's store and when purchasing them, they're made aviliable for the PS Vita to download.

Greetings,

So I am here because I want to play the Metroid games because I never had a chance to play them. I was recommended a emulator called retro arch and will be looking at it but I am also wanting to see if Zelda oot and MM is possible as well.

Last time I tried emulation was years ago trying for botw.

I recently built a home server / NAS that is running proxmox

i5-14500T 32gb ram (4-6gb free for a virtual machine)

I would like to run a retro game emulator on a virtual machine with the HDMI passed through, so it will act as a normal PC connected to a TV.

Which operating system offers the best console like experience? I'm really only looking for up to N64 / maybe more modern nintendo if the onboard GPU can handle it. My biggest concern is having nice menus for selecting the console, and a good layout for selecting games.

I have done some light research, but most of these operating systems don't have real screenshots on their websites.

Also I could use recommendations for controllers. I could go USB, but would prefer 4x rechargeable controllers that use the onboard bluetooth if possible.

Thanks in advance

I'm trying to connect my PS4 controller on snes9x. Althought it reads the buttons in the input configuration, they don't do anything in-game. They also work completely fine if they are assigned to hotkeyes. I've already tried to click on "detect gamepad changes" but it did nothing.
