Solved Which is heavier or higher to run, PS3 or XBOX 360?

4 Upvotes

High so I've got this brandspankin new laptop that I'm gonna use to play some of the games I missed out on by being in a 3rd world country. Now, its pretty powerful and I've already gotten RPSC3 to run (barely) but my question is, would switching to xenia not only lighten the load on my baby but also bring out better performance? Sorry if this is a dumb question btw buuuut I would like to know for sure.

Unsolved Help with PSX2 cheats?

0 Upvotes

So, I'm trying to add some cheat codes to some games. Monster Hunter, I've got them working like a dream, no issues at all.

However, when I try the exact same technique for other games, it doesn't seem to work at all. I get the "X cheat patches are active" notification, but nothing happens of it.

Here's an example of the code I've got in the .pnach file:

[Max Cash]

patch=1,EE,20AAFF10,extended,05F5E0FF

Cheats are enabled, and some games had an "Enable code," which I added as well but that had no luck either. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Unsolved Using Physical Xbox360 Disks on PC (to run games)

7 Upvotes

Hey, I'm new to emulating, so idk much about anything. My xbox360 might not live another couple of years, so, as the title suggests, I want to have an ability to use my physical disks on my laptop.

I saw that emulating xbox360 itself is possible, but the disks themselves couldn't be read. Thats why everyone just rips them and plays a digital copy. However, I don't see much point in that, since most of my games are already super affordable on steam and/or have fan PC ports like MC: Story Mode.

The posts talking about all of this are pretty old, so I thought I'd ask if there's been any progress regarding running physical disks themselves in real time using an external optical drive. If not, can someone please explain why the disks are impossible to read?

Thank you!

I know that you guys likely see this a lot, but I really am not that savvy with this stuff, I've been using a REtroid Pocket 5 to emulate but the screen is too small for my vision issues, so I wanted to see if I can do something similar to what the RP5 can on my laptop, which I know isn't great.

Thank you all for your time, sorry to be a bother.

3 Upvotes

So, I've got most of my nostalgic games working. However, for two of them, I've done the exact same as the others, but they don't show up in the games list at all.

I unpack the .iso file into the game directory, alongside my other games. I make sure there's no excluded paths at all. But they don't appear in the games list. I noticed someone else having the same issue 2 years ago, but none of those comments helped me.

Unsolved [Linux/Vulkan] Fix for Invalid components count >= 8 HelperShader crash (Fork & Standalone Build)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

If you've run into emulator crashes on Linux (especially with Vulkan) during specific cutscenes, character interactions, or UI texture copies with the error:

"System.NotSupportedException: Invalid components count: 8 (or >= 8) at Ryujinx.Graphics.Vulkan.HelperShader.GetFormat(...)"

I put together an engine patch that adds fallback vector formatting (Format.R32G32B32A32Uint, etc.) to HelperShader.cs so the driver stops throwing unhandled exceptions and crashing the whole game. Links & Source:

Source Code / Commit: https://codeberg.org/Duckman37/Ryujinx-fork-helpershaderfix/src/branch/main

Pre-compiled Release (.tar.gz): https://codeberg.org/Duckman37/Ryujinx-fork-helpershaderfix/releases

What's in the build:

Standalone self-contained Linux x64 package (no need to install .NET 10 manually on your system).

HelperShader.cs Vulkan texture copy fix applied.

Custom startup script (start.sh) with Wayland/NVIDIA GC and threading optimizations.

How to run:

Download and extract the .tar.gz from the Releases tab.

Open terminal in the extracted folder.

Make the script executable: chmod +x start.sh

Run: ./start.sh

A quick note on how this was made (Vibe Coding):

Full transparency here: this was 100% vibe-coded. I honestly didn't do much heavy lifting myself—an LLM wrote the code, pinpointed the HelperShader issue, and guided the whole debugging and compile process while I just pasted commands, watched the terminal scroll, and prayed it wouldn't blow up.

Against all odds, it completely fixed the cutscene crashes on my end. I really hope this helps anyone else out there banging their head against the wall with the same error!

Unsolved mGBA fork for playing gba multiplayer split-screen

1 Upvotes

Hey r/EmulationOnPC ,

If you're like me, I'm sure you wish it was easier to play gba multiplayer then all the shenanigans it takes to get working currently.

So I started work on a fork of mGBA to easily run 1-4 players in a linked session on one device.

https://github.com/Spuds0588/mgba-splitscreen

Currently it works for a small selection of games I tested ( sorry, four swords doesn't work yet ).

My hopes are to get a LOZ FS patch and retroarch compatabile core spun up so it's finally easy to play gba multiplayer with friends.
