The Emulators Thread - RPCS3 now runs PS3 Games in 4K

Well I've made a GBA folder in your hacks and translations parent folder and put the Mother 3 english patch and FF VI restoration patch (I think it restores the SNES music and colour corrects as the original GBA rom is oversaturated).

I have added Spectrum Games and I am now in the process of adding some translated Japanese SNES games.

Good stuff guys.

EDIT: Bear in mind that anything you upload goes towards your google drive space and not mine, so you'll have a limit to what you can add.

I've renamed some of the folders to keep the naming convention of manufacturer then console - 'Wii' is now 'Nintendo Wii' and the playstations have Sony as a prefix. We had Nintendo gameboy/n64 etc. but not Wii and I couldn't handle the inconsistency any longer

This is the kind of anal-retentive behaviour I can get behind.

Want to add Pokémon Ruby+Y and Smash Bros too although those are finicky in needing update files of sorts

Well I know what I'll be doing this weekend now.

I've had Citra waiting to be installed for ages but haven't had any luck finding roms for it anywhere, are they all decrypted?

Mine should be, ripped them straight from my own carts! Citra seems to run them no problem as far as I can tell

Unfortunately, due to hitting my own Google Drive storage limits I've only uploaded the following:

Cave Story 3D
Mario & Luigi - Paper Jam
New Super Mario Bros. 2
Pilotwings resort
Shinobi
Steel Diver
Rhythm Paradise Megamix

PM me if you want any more from the original list Ironhide

I have chucked a few more Genesis/Megadrive games in the folder..

Yeah I saw. Cheers man.

Considering getting myself a GPD XD Plus for on the go emulation shenanigans. Anyone had any experience of these? Most of the impressions I can find seem pretty positive on them.

I dont own one but I got the chance to play around on one and I quiet liked it, if that's any help.

Yeah I've ordered it.

Should have it tomorrow so we'll see how I get on with it.

In upload related news there is a Mame 0.188 (I think it was 0.188) Romset uploaded. It doesn't contain the CHD files as a full set of them is about half a terabyte and well, strawberry float that.

If I can find a more up to date set (0.201 is the newest one) I'll replace it with that.

Check your PMs bud.

So my GPD XD Plus came last night and I've spent a little time playing with it. I'm fairly impressed, though it really is just an Android tablet with some decent controls attached.

Slowly setting up all my emulators, and the 128Gb SD Card I've put in it means I can have a decent chunk of my PS1 games, all my Mega CD games as well as the prerequisite GB, SNES, Mega Drive stuff.

System wise the build quality is pretty nice. All the buttons and such seem ok so far, the case is pretty sturdy and the screen is nice and bright. The hinge does creak horribly when you open it but I'm hoping that'll ease with time and use.

It does come with some built in software, but the first thing I did was to install a custom ROM on the recommendation of every other user I could find. It strips out all the bloatware and potentially dodgy Chinese app stores.

Google play works nicely to get the emulators and other assorted apps I needed. Some of the emulators are fine through Retroarch, but ePSXe is essential for PS1 emulation. I've not really tried anything more demanding like N64, Dreamcast or PSP yet but I'll give that a shot over the next few days.

There's a good source port for Doom as well and that runs beautifully.

A nice side benefit was that I can access any games I'd bought for my phone on this, which includes all the GTA games so I've been enjoying Vice City this afternoon.

Oh and downloading Google Drive means I can access my entire library wherever I have WiFi access.

Let me know what you think of the gpd, I've come close to ordering one loads. Apparently there is a lot of Chinese bloatware - as in the default emulators aren't great. But I guess you could install whatever you want on it and there is Android retroarch.

Yeah ok should read whole thread before quote posting lolz

I use the paid version of FPSE for Android PS1 emulation, can't say I've ever had any problems.

Out of curiosity, can you crank the resolution up on PS1 emulation at all without issue?

I do on PCSXR, but I think the key thing is to not mess with the aspect ratio too much, that's when things get weird.

Yeah I meant to say that I'd heard FPSE is good as well.

The only issue I'm having so far is Retroarch playing nice with the GameSome frontend I'm using. It's a bit inconsistent in when it will or won't save the config settings I've used, but that's general tweaking at this point.

I've heard Dolphin can run some games reasonably well if you get the right settings for it, so I'll be looking into that as well. I'm not expecting too much from it though.

I haven't tried yet, but once I have I'll let you know.
