I used to love emulators, I used them all the time. Then I realised that if I wanted to play console games, it was better to play them on the console, the way it was meant to be played. You just don't get the same experiencie.

That's good too, but what about obscure and rare consoles? Mind you, I do take the console over the emulator where possible. Hence I have like 4 different models of GBA, a GBC, NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Dreamcast, Atari 2600, Atari Jaguar, PS1, PS2, and DS.

Edit; and a fuckload of other systems nobody cares about. I got a Sega Genesis with 4 games for £10, hell yeah.

Y'all are just jealous because my TV setup looks like an alien command station

Pcx2 runs metal gear solid 2 pretty badly, but it runs MGS3 fine, weird.

Use some speedhacks. Also if you're playing original MGS3 then it makes sense, because the camera is positioned from top like RTS games which speeds the game up. Try to run MGS3 Subsistence which has MGS2 thirdperson camera and you'll see how the game lags due to viewing the surroundings.

This one?

It's supposed to run fine unless your PC is very old.

Try new versions if you haven't yet.

I did use speedhacks, but I can't get it so the cutscenes don't stutter every few seconds or that the gameplay slows down during boss fights.

Edited:

and the game is like 40% cutscenes anyways.

Nostalgia. I played this a lot as a kid. I'm in training mode because my friend has yet to return my wired 360 controller, and I do not find 3d fighting games comfortable to play with the Keyboard.

That's Budokai/Budokai 2 right?

I just downloaded mame and extracted both the downloaded file and the one inside. This may sound idiotic, but where is the mame.exe?

I love emulators. It's nice to get all these old games to play and have lots of fun with. I get a computer just for emulators as a personal emulator station of sorts to set up in the rec room. Buy some cheap USB controllers and the possibilities are endless!

I was never aware that emulators worked this well

We are in 2011. I'm looking forward to the original xbox emulator, it's been worked on slowly.

Ooh finished that one, too. Older Dolphin revision had very funny bugs in this game like Snake "dancing" with the legs or Meryl going through wall.
Also have this very funny bug Gsdx got in certain revision long time ago and was fixed a bit after.


and this is how it looked way before

SPS everywhere man.

I got into a good gamecube emulator a while back and played animal crossing for hours on end ^__^

ePSXe is pretty much the one to go fore, you can easily find pre-configured ones so you don't ave to mess with addons

I had SMS playing great on an old build of Dolphin with some settings tweaks, but I posted it in the GMF somewhere and I forget where

If I find it I'll copy it here

EDIT: Found my post - it uses a really old build so find it if you want, or try the same settings on the current build:

Using Dolphin SVN 6700 x64 version
NO I'M WRONG USE 6599 x64!!!!!
NTSC ISO of Super Mario Sunshine

Game config:

Basically make sure nothing is checked/unchecked and have no projection hacks enabled

Dolphin config general tab:


Dolphin config display tab:

Notice panic handlers off

D3D9 plugin config general:

EFB scale x2 was the only one that didn't make the goop slide away

D3D9 plugin config advanced:

All guides say real XFB but no, it made it look like shit for me

Also turn off audio throttle

With those settings I got 30+ FPS and no visual glitches, except the level with the giant shadow stingray - there was a certain tweak you needed to make that level playable at all but I forget it

Doesn't MGS3 Normal edition and MGS2 SOL and Substance have the exact same style of cameras?

What settings do you use?
These are mine and it runs between 27-30 FPS with perfect audio.
(Note: D3D9 > D3D11 when trying to play windwaker)



Also what version of dolphin? (I'm using r7442) (Oh wow i'm outdated)

After updating i'm maxing it out at a steady 30FPS. :haw:

Both MGS2s have same camera (third person), but regular MGS3 has MGS1 camera (top view) and MGS3S has both.

[Bokito]

Would it affect the fps if I put the Dolphin emulator on an External HDD, and opened it from there?

[Blackbird88]

Only load times. All emulators are CPU dependant with GPU being fairly close. RAM and HDD etc. don't really matter.
Also the MGS3 cameras
Normal and 3rd person. I am not sure, but in original MGS3 the normal camera is even from top like MGS1.
Notice how the fps decreases, because it has to render more stuff.

[Oicani Gonzales]

I never had a PS2, so how does it look in comparison to the console?

[Blackbird88]

What do you mean? Quality? Accuracy? If quality then it looks way better, if you mean accuracy yeah well there are always some glitches you may stumble upon like MGS3 is missing bloom, HDR and reflections.
This is how it looks in software mode which is more accurate

Oicani Gonzales posted:

If the emulator doesn't cause any graphical errors, it can look much better, proper AA, better filtering for textures and much more. The chances of that happening in most games? Zero to none.

That is the game cube version

Also, anyone know whats up with Luigi's Mansion, the Opening cutscene is nice and crisp, but once you get to gameplay its like its running at a smaller resolution,

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/54...ECAD4FC3197DA/

Look how blurry that is compared to this

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/54...E3C9DF3944432/

[hexpunK]

Probably because the FMV at the start is just that? A video? It requires so much less power to render than a live game. So the resolution can be bumped up.
