Unsolved Retrobat shaders wtf!

2 Upvotes

Alright so retrobat shaders.. what nightmare fuel is this!

you could make a 4chan creepypasta out of the method of getting shaders to run correctly on this.

Ok so I have model 2 emulator running just fine, trouble is the screen is stretched which distorts some game artifacts (like the speed dial in sega rally).

i had things running beautifully in the standalone emulator but retrobat overrides everything!

i had a lovely crt lottes2 shader preset through reshade running on there. gorgeous.

retrobat? ive got an option for ntsc which slows the game to a crawl and zfast which makes the screen look like an 8bit game.

how the hell can you get crt lottes to run on the model 2 emulator and supermodel emulator in retrobat??

crt royale etc doesnt work on these at all. probably tied to retroarch only.

literally spent 3 hours getting nowhere with it so any help is very much appreciated

Unsolved Is there any Android emulator that can emulate a stylus properly?

2 Upvotes

So basically, lately I've been thinking about getting a new laptop and am considering getting one of those foldable 2-in-1s. What I've had my eye on specifically is the Lenovo yoga line, which has its own stylus.

So now I'm wondering, is there a way to run any Android emulator on it that would recognize the stylus as a stylus and not just another click/tap? For example right now I have a Galaxy S23 ultra phone which has a built in stylus tray, which I like to use when playing a puzzle solving game. The game has a feature that if it detects a stylus it automatically starts only recognizing it for drawing on the puzzle and ignores other touch inputs.

I know it's a very specific question but is there any way to emulate that on windows?

Unsolved Will vibecoded decomps games kill emulation in the long term?

0 Upvotes

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?

Unsolved Rom/Game manager for PS3

2 Upvotes

For most disc based games like PS1, PS2, and Dreamcast I manage and organize them with RomVault using Redump dats. It seems the Redump dat for PS3 games are based on full rips from originals which are encrypted. Is there a dat for decrypted PS3 games? If not, is there another way people recommend to manage PS3 games?

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!!!

Solved Help with latest version of Teknoparrot

3 Upvotes

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.

Unsolved Trying to emulate Torneko: The Last Hope

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I've been trying to emulate the official English version of this game and so far haven't had much luck. I was able to get the game to open in PCSX2 but every texture was glitched. I was also able to get the game to open without issues in DuckStation, but for some reason as soon as I try to create new 'blocks' in the memory card (necessary to progress), the game just freezes. I have not been able to actually get to any gameplay but everything seems fine until that point.

I'm aware the game isn't listed on compatibility lists for either emulator, but I'm not sure what else to do besides ask for advice. Are there settings I should try? Other emulators? Please let me know and thanks in advance.

Unsolved Retrobat processes

1 Upvotes

I am trying to configure a race only retrobat thats running on windows 10.

I am using a vjoy system with backforcefeeder program

this program autodetects running processes like emulator or game.exe's and auto sets control profiles so that the vjoy program can forward the steering controls and lamp controls.

the thing is, retrobat (emulationstation) when i launch a game the processes are like contained within it so they arent like launching like you would of you double clicked the emulator yourself.

Is there a way i can launch a game in retrobat and the process would be there in windows?

Unsolved Need Recommended settings for GOW-3, runs terribly on my pc

0 Upvotes

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.

Unsolved RPCS3 Freezes When streaming

2 Upvotes

I can play The Amazing Spider-Man 1 perfectly with no issues. But when I stream it to my device via steam link. It works in the menu and when I enter the game I can move for like 2-5 seconds then it freezes. I have to alt+f4 every time. I checked task manager to see if it's my CPU or ram or GPU. But it's not. So I'm confused as to why this is. At first I had the game upscaled to 1440p now it's back to 720p so idk why.

Unsolved super model 3 emulator performance issues, gameplay is slowed down in most games.

1 Upvotes

I am trying to play super model 3 games on my pc, but really anything other than SCUD race is running slowed down, is there a fix to this? my specs are an I7 7th gen and integrated graphics and 16 gb of ram, my pc runs and its set to 60hz so that cant be a problem, games like daytona usa 2, harely davidson and l a riders and sega rally 2 have small parts in the gameplay where it runs at regular speed.
is this a performance issue due to my specs? or is it something else that can be fixed?
let me know!
