r/emulators

I have been working on building, developing, and prototyping my own modular handheld x86 PC called the CG Deck. After approximately the past 7 and a half months of going from initial concept to functional engineering prototype, I am finally able to officially present the soon coming release of what I have been working tirelessly on over the course of this year! I will also be ramping up and posting more videos of the CG Deck in use, and other related content over the coming days. If you are interested in the project, like the video, leave a comment and subscribe to the channel! I appreciate all of your support so incredibly much, and thank you to everyone that has been following along so far! It means the world to me!

For those who have not seen this project before, the CG Deck is an x86 based modular handheld PC which has the capability of running dual boot operating systems like Windows & Linux. Designed and built to be a device that you actually own down the the firmware. Quick swap out control modules to mix and match control schemes for your specific task. Design and make your own modules, design your own backplates, upgrade or mod the internals, and even make repairs or fixes when or if you need. The CG Deck is more attuned to a platform rather than a traditional device, giving you full capability to repair, upgrade, mod, personalize, etc.

I wanted to create my dream device, something that evolved with me as time passes. Whether I am playing Steam games, or doing retro emulation, doing CAD work in Blender or other 3D software, coding, art & design work, listening to music, home media console use, video editing, hardware tinkering or whatever it is, I wanted to be able to simply be able to do it on a single portable handheld.

Also as a little bit of an update, I am still working on the behind the scenes documentary going over the entire process from the original idea and conceptual drawing, through design iterations, CAD, creating the bill of materials, material sourcing, navigating partnerships with brands and manufacturers, prototyping, assembly, DFM rework, testing & certifications, planning mass production, figuring out the logistics of warehousing and fulfillment, and every step in between all the way though officially releasing and launching the CG Deck and bringing it to market! Because there is so much that has gone into everything (and I am still in the middle of the process doing it all :) ), I will probably post the videos as an episodic series with smaller pieces of content going up between. I will have more information about those videos over the coming weeks, and it will be posted on my personal channel.

After tons of work, we are officially gearing up for an official launch on Kickstarter to help support a full production run of the CG Deck and various modules to bring it to market! The CG Deck will be available both as a DIY Assembly Kit and a Pre-Built ready to use device! I will be sending out more information to everyone on our waitlist over the next couple of days with some new updates & announcements including early bird backer pricing, package/pledge options, and more!

Hey all. Looking at setting up an emulation station in my living room, and need advice on what kind of small PC to get for it. I doubt a NUC would be powerful enough, but the only specific device that comes to mind is an old Alienware Alpha and I don't know if it would still have the juice for it. Resolution would be 1080p, and I'm planning to use graphical enhancements that are usually built in to things like Cemu to boost resolution and add AA, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Good evening guys, I'm new to the emulator world. I've looked up some reviews on YouTube, and saw some buyer comments on sites like Amazon, eBay, and AliExpress, but I wanted recommendations from people who actually know about the subject. I'd like a handheld emulator, focused on PS1 and PS2 games, to play during my free time at work, in bed on cold days, in an Uber, and times like that. I'm not a fan of playing on my phone.

hello. ive own a gaming laptop for about 8-10 months. steam games are fun and what not but it doesnt scratch the itch i have for video games. theirs a couple of games i would love to play again ive ben scrolling the subreddits for a while and just dont quite understand where to go. im terrified of getting a virus since i wouldnt quite know what to do. any ways the games i would like to play agan are 007 nightfire on the ps2. most wanted as well. of course pokemon games both gba/gbc and ds. and that one mario game with the water pump. can someone so kindly pint me out to the right direction. thank you in advance.

Looking for an emulator to replace the MAME emulator I had years ago. I've seen a lot of different ones online, downloaded couple but they would not install.

My OS is macOS 12.7.6 64-bit. Intel chip.Anything that might point me in the right direction is appreciated.

So it’s been confirmed no more physicals for ps6, and nobody except the ESA likes this decision for good reason.

So my question is will this extremely anti consumer behaviour drive emulation development due to sheer frustration? The switch 1 was emulation quite fast because of its well known architecture but I can’t help but feel there was some motivation because of how dogshit the switch 1 hardware was. Could the same happen with ps6?

Of course there is a world where ps5 let alone ps6 is just not emulated for the next 10 years, but I have to believe in the impossible lol. Few months ago Denuvo basically beat piracy then out of nowhere Hypervisor and V38 came along.

If so, where can I download it and where can I emulate it?"

so i live in germany and its illegal to download games online but i prefer playing games on pc (with emulator) not on switch so i want to dump my own games that i legally own to my pc

so how do i go about this? (physical games and digital)

Im thinking of doing pc emulation on my phone. I want to play far cry 3&4, Prince of Persia, older Assassin's creed title, metal gear solid , Batman Arkham series and resident evil titles

My phone specs are mediatek dimensity 8400 max with 2m+ antutu score, 8gb ram, 256gb storage.

Can I get playable fps on these games with these specs. What emulator should I try winlator, gamehub or WinNative.

Hi !

I've played about 100 hrs of tomodachi life on ryujinx and all was okay until I tried to open it yesterday. I got a pop up on the game saying that my save file is corrupted. I've tried lots of things to fix it, I used a tutorial to copy one of the 1 or 0 files into the other, deleted one of them, and renamed. I've updated my prod keys and firmware. I'm downloading a newer version of ryujinx now, but I fear it's looking bleak. I couldn't find an update file for the game, so if that's the issue then that's a whole other thing. Any help is appreciated <//3

Hi guys, so about two years ago, I purchased a Logitech G-cloud, but really never used it and today I recently turned it on and updated it. I will be traveling next week and thought maybe to use it while I wait to board my flight. I wanted to know if I can install some cool emulators/mods to play games on it? Any recommendations is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When i drag it to the emulator and drop it nothing happens or appears
