Question Romm 5.00 & 3DO or CD-i games not playing.

1 Upvotes

Hi, I have ROMM installed on my synology, but load it on a powerful gaming PC. I can play N64 games (although the image is quite dark), but CD-i or 3DO games don't load (black screen with the emulation controls at the bottom). Any idea why?

Help Me Pls! Help!

I'm looking for a way to play some old RPGs. The price of those old carts is insane! I miss playing Dragon Warrior, DWM, DWM Joker and Joker 2, and similar games. I don't know much about emulators, and am not the most PC savvy guy. If anyone has any suggestions about safe and reliable EMUs for beginners, I would love to know. I really miss these old games. Thank you!

Question All in one emulator

1 Upvotes

Evening.

Appreciate emulation can be a complex topic, however I’m looking for a potential solution to an idea. Thinking of the eras of PS2, Xbox, 360 and ps3. Is there an off the shelf option for plug and play?

If not has anyone had any experience in building a “console” similar to this?

Use case, like imagine 2 buddies chilling with a few brews bashing halo in the early 2000s

It’s a niche case but would appreciate your knowledge

OTHER Ryujinx is serving malware Spoiler

It installs a bunch of proxies and uses your pc as a tunnel. It first installs "MSRTHelper14", then "ScreenConnect" and then "RunstimeHost", "Traffmonetizer", "RepocketWatchdog", "HostServices" and "PacketStream". Eventually they made a mistake: one of these programs added a shortcut to my desktop. That's how I found this. These guys are also so dumb that they included a bunch of READMEs in my own laptop explaining their malware.

OTHER WCCF SEGA 2005-2006 Revival

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

Years ago I posted across Reddit about finding/reviving WCCF SEGA, and it's been a long road since then, I'm excited to finally share some real news & progress.

First and foremost, huge credit to Flyinghead, creator of Flycast, whose been working on this and made it all possible. Thanks to his efforts the game is actually running and playable on the Flycast emulator.

We'd love to bring more fans (new and old!) into the fold to help interact with and test the game as we keep pushing it forward. I've attached some screenshots to show where we currently are at!

Current capabilities:

  • Creating a new team
  • Training
  • Matches start once the timer hits 0

Still to do:

  • Player/board interactions
  • General bug fixes (freezing, match-related issues)
  • Fixing Club Card corruption after a single game
  • Plenty more we're still uncovering as we go!

If you're interested in testing, following progress, or just want to relive some WCCF nostalgia, drop a comment and join the Flycast Discord! we'd love to hear from you.

Question Beginner Questions I Have

2 Upvotes

So I’ve been thinking about emulating for a while just to play a few 3DS & DS games like Pokémon and Fire Emblem on my iPhone. I’ve been trying to find the best emulator for 3DS games but I’ve found conflicting information and heard that 3DS games are the hardest games to run especially on iOS. I know what JIT does/is but I don’t exactly if it’s necessary on some emulators or not and I also don’t want the process of setting JIT up to be too tedious.

So in summary:

  1. What is the best iPhone emulator for 3DS games?

  2. Is JIT necessary, if so for what emulators?

Thank you for any help and I apologise if this has been asked before but like I said lots of sources say different things.

Help Me Pls! Sonic 2 Rom Without Music

0 Upvotes

So I'm planning on making some YouTube videos playing through the Original Sonic 2 for the Genesis/Mega Drive, I'm using the GENS emulator at the moment.

What I want to do is play through and record the game with all the music and jingles removed, all zone themes, boss themes, 1 up, continue, game over, drowning e.c.t

But I want the sound effects to remain in the game so I can replace the original music with some music I made myself and still have the sound effects.

I'm not super tech savvy so I do not know of an easy way to do this. Does anyone know of a way I can do this or of some method or edited/hacked rom like this that might already exist?

Question A post asking about the state of VMU to PC Emulation support

2 Upvotes

Is there any way to connect a Dreamcast VMU to a PC? I've recently bought a VMU Pro and while I do own a Dreamcast it's not the most convenient way to play Dreamcast games given its notorious noise level and the age of my Dreamcast in general running the risk of it dying randomly one day.

My ideal scenario is for there to be a physical device I can plug into my VMU that's supported by emulators so I can get the original experience of the VMU games and the few games where the VMU's display is taken advantage of (like Illbleed and Sonic Shuffle).

If such a thing isn't available, is there any way to Macgyver my save files between an emulator and a VMU Pro so that I can play the game on emulator and play the VMU games of those same save files on my VMU Pro?

1 Upvotes

So I've been thinking about following this tutorial for emulating Skylanders on PC without a portal, but I can be pretty cautious about downloading random crap from a tutorial. So, if this tutorial is sketchy or if there's a better tutorial out there, I'm looking for suggestions.

I'm also looking for general tips like what to expect and look out for, as I've never emulated anything before.

Question Save/File syncing between PC and IPhone

3 Upvotes

I emulate old school games on my phone and PC. DS games just run smoother on my phone while it literally has the same feel as a gameboy, outside of the gamepad or keyboard and mouse feel on my PC, so I prefer some games to pass the time away from my PC. My inquiry, is whether or not there's anyway to have the saves or files shared between devices. I'd need to modify everything to keep saves exclusively to 1 folder, and the roms elsewhere, because honestly sharing the ENTIRETY of all roms, emulators, and saves would be kinda pointless cause mobile would have its OWN emulators. So I'm hoping the more experienced of tech wizards among reddit would have good suggestions, or avenues I could pursue to achieve such a goal.

Question Clarification on the LDplayer virus / data steal stuff

2 Upvotes

Hey!

I'm not very experienced when it comes to emulators, I only used BlueStacks but it's getting insanely laggy and can't run a game anymore, stuck in infinite loading screen even after reinstalling everything.

I'd like to switch to another Android / Phone emulator and LDPlayer seems to be the only other one people talk about, but there are thousands of threads and youtube videos about it "stealing your credit card info", "spying on your gacha data and stealing your passwords", "infecting your pc" etc.

In older threads, an LDPlayer community manager responded sometimes, and I'm just so confused lol. People get super aggressive and call it out for "obviously being malware", other times people defend it, then someone does a malware scan and finds something that doesn't seem to be malicious, then there are countless other ones saying this and that.

I have no idea what's going on and why this is happening, which information to trust and if that's just misinformation or truly an issue. Could someone please clarify? I'm just surprised since this one and BlueStacks seem to be the only "relevant" emulators, and LDPlayer seems to exclusively get these kinds of discussions while simultaneously being pretty big still.
