talk about emulation, share ur plugin configs and post some 1080p screenshot dumps of whatever.


recommended emulators:

PSP - http://www.ppsspp.org/
PlayStation 2- http://pcsx2.net/
PlayStation - http://www.epsxe.com/
GameCube - https://dolphin-emu.org/
SNES - http://byuu.org/emulation/higan/ or http://www.snes9x.com/
N64 - http://www.pj64-emu.com/
GameBoy- http://sourceforge.net/projects/vbam/
Genesis - http://segaretro.org/Kega_Fusion

currently, i am emulating katamari damacy on pcsx2 and it runs okay, my computer isn't so high end but it runs decent. the sounds lovely tho. smash bros melee works beautiful on my old computer and im so surprised. when i get home i'm probably gonna download a bunch of the metal gear games for psp and ps1 play them, because i need to get my hype on for mgs5 refresh on the story.

The first person to put savestates, loadstates, memory editing, and fast forward into an emulator should be seen as a saint, if not the pope.

nah. it's fun to take revenge on hard games you couldn't beat as a kid abusing save states until you're a computer designed to beat the game

it's also fun to see it taken to the absolute extreme and recorded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRGhgfG_xpc

it can't do 60fps in most games but if 30fps is fine for a game it works pretty well

The DS emulator, Drastic is awesome. It runs every game smooth as gently caress. I completed the whole Phoenix Wright trilogy with it again.

i own ff8 on two different medias and i still just emulate the psx version for fast forward and savestates, especially for time driving the garden around and time getting to people like the queen of cards who show up randomly between multiple places that are invaluable for certain things, hers being getting rid of card rules

ah, random same combo direct. no. this timeline is dead. time kompressionnn.

supercard dstwo, since it's got an extra cpu emulators can tap into

check the compatibility lists though, it's far from perfect and a lot of games have slowdowns
