Are there any emulators I can run? Most emulators of the 16-bit era (fourth generation) and earlier consoles (e.g., Sega Genesis, NES, Atari 2600, etc.) can be run on any PC, even one with a CPU clock speed of below 1 GHz. higan is the only exception because it's highly accurate and requires a 3 GHz CPU for optimal performance. Other emulators such as Snes9x, Kega Fusion, Mesen, etc. can be run on any PC that can run Windows. My save states do not work in the new version of the emulator I downloaded. Why? Save states are not compatible between different versions of emulators, or between different emulators. Don't rely on them. Use real/battery saves which typically can be transferred, even if they need to be converted first. My game isn't working. How do I resolve problems on my own? Emulators can have stable builds that are weeks, months, and sometimes even years old. The "stable" version is often just a randomly picked dev (short for development) version, which is why the latest dev versions should often be preferred, as they solve emulation issues most of the time. If you're using a plugin-based emulator, graphical glitches and sound issues could be solved by changing the settings or using a different, better plugin altogether. Newer, more accurate emulators that do not use a plugin system may also be recommended. Try changing the graphics backend between OpenGL, Direct3D, and Vulkan. Sometimes, questions may have been asked and answered multiple times in the past. Check online. If you still can't find a solution, ask. Provide system specs, operating system, emulator, version, settings, plugins, system emulated, game emulated, and the problem itself.
What's the best 3DS emulador for android now that Citra is no longer active? I know Citra has been merged with another project, but that successor project is yet to be released. I'm trying to use Mandarine to run a decrypted version of Digimon World Redigitize Decode since it's getting updates every couple of months. But the framerate is really bad during cutscenes and there's a lot of graphical glitches. I'm wondering if it's my hardware (Motorola G84), the custom ROMs I'm using (fan translation of the game), or the emulator. https://mandarine3ds.github.io/ Changing the api to Vulkan and doing async shader compilation does nothing. >>1075719 I use Retro Game Talk's repository. Formerly known as CDRomance. https://retrogametalk.com/repository/
>>1077364 Why not just keep using Citra? It's not like the emulator suddenly stopped working.

Reminder that if (You) have a physical Dolby Surround 5.1 setup capable of decoding Pro Logic or headphone surround virtualization with Hesuvi/Pipewire, (You) ought to output emulated Donkey Kong Country audio through it fore gud tiem.

I'm looking for retro consoles to emulate with my smartphone. The problem is, I tried emulating a 3DS (with Citra), but all the games were slow and laggy. So, please tell me. What console emulators would run perfectly and without problems with the technical specifications of my Android? (Specifications in the second image)

>>1081049 Here are more specifications of my Android Smartphone
>>1081049 >>1081055 You're wasting your time. Either emulate games on a real system like a 3DS or a Vita, or don't bother at all. The ONLY games you should be playing on a smartphone are games designed for a smartphone.
>>1081056 What's the problem with emulating retro consoles on a smartphone? Besides, I don't currently own a PC or laptop. Just my trusty smartphone.
>>1077682 Why are things constantly getting worse this year?
>>1081049 GBA, PSP, SNES, Genesis, PS1, DS, N64, etc. should probably be fine. Can't hurt to try out the GameCube for that matter too but if it can't run Citra it'll probably struggle with it. >>1081056 Eh, I disagree personally. Emulating some stuff on a smartphone is fine. A smartphone's screen, resolution, general specs, and refresh rate tends to blow the 3DS's out of the water, and the Vita can't emulate everything (though its obviously the best way to play games when possible). The biggest problem with smartphones is the lack of physical controls which makes playing real-time games a pain. They're adequate for turn-based stuff though in my experience. I've played most GBA games I wanted to on my smartphone out of convenience/habit and I generally don't regret it, though I haven't gotten around to the real-time ones admittedly because I know they'll be shit from past experience. >>1081058 See above, but imo they can be okay depending on what you're playing. A Vita can be cheap and a great way of playing many games though if you're lucky enough to find one around $100-120.

>>1081058 >What's the problem with emulating retro consoles on a smartphone? Been there, done that, never had an ejoyable moment playing the fucking things one a device lacking the actual buttons needs. Not to mention the controls covering up portions of the screen. Smartphones are not designed to play games the same way traditional gaming handheld are. And the LAST TIME a company actually designed a smartphone to realistically be used for regular video games was back in 2010. Spend the money and get yourself a real device to play games on.
>>1081062 Citra in my experience is much harder to run than Dolphin
>>1081070 >pic I remember this. My friend kept going on about it back then. I told him he was retarded since he already had a PSP (I didn't and was butthurt about it).
>>1081062 I once tried to emulate Gamecube and it was also slow and laggy.
>>1081070 I prefer to stick with my smartphone. Besides, my budget and financial limitations don't allow me to buy a console, even a used or old one.
>>1081079 >I prefer to stick with my smartphone. Then actually play the games designed for a smartphone. >Besides, my budget and financial limitations don't allow me to buy a console, even a used or old one. You don't have $50-$100? If not, then time to start saving money for that investment.
>>1081080 Sorry. My money goes to important things (eating, paying rent, etc.) I'm the type of person who prefers to sacrifice pleasure. And I also prefer completely free games.
>>1081083 >>1081079 >And I also prefer completely free games. Anon, you know you can hack consoles and pirate games on them, right? >My money goes to important things (eating, paying rent, etc.) >Besides, my budget and financial limitations don't allow me to buy a console, even a used or old one. Are you really living paycheck to paycheck? If so, damn. I hope things get better for you.
>>1081087 >Anon, you know you can hack consoles and pirate games on them, right? There's also a lot of free games on the app stores. Including a lot of classic games like City Connection and Crazy Taxi. And for games with ads, you can avoid them by simply turning on Airplane Mode.
I never owned a PSP, what PSP-only games are worth playing? (or games that play better on PSP).
>>1084444 Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX
>>1084444 >what PSP-only games are worth playing? Battlefront: Renegade/Elite Squadron, Daxter, Gangs of London, Lumines, Pangya: Fantasy Golf, Phantasy Star Portable, Project Dive >games that play better on PSP Unironically the PSP version of every multi-platform game <La Pucelle Ragnarok Expanded port of La Pucelle: Tactics <Lunar: Harmony of Silver Star The most definitive version of the original Lunar game from the Sega CD <Monster Hunter Portable Second updated and expanded port of the original MH <Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Contains bonus missions that are not present in the PS2/Wii version Also, the PSP still has many of the best game compilations even to this day.

>>1084444 When it comes to PSP games You really can't go wrong, there is simply way too many to list, but just to name a few. God of War Chains of Olympus, and Ghost of Sparda. Both Absolutely worth playing if you are a fan of the first game, these games actually expand on Kratos' character and backstory, and make him far more interesting then he is in GoW, 2 or 3 when he's just in Permanent rage mode. Chains is a bit simplistic, but not bad, gameplay is mostly proof of concept that GoW on PSP could work. Ghost is much more impressive considering the hardware. There are plenty of Capcom games too, Mega Man Powered Up, is a very good remake of Mega Man 1, You can play though the game as every robot master, and every character you play as has quite a bit of Unique dialogue, so there is a ton of replayablity. There is also Mega Man Maverick Hunter X which is a Remake of X1, it's good, but not quite as packed to the brim as Powered Up is, you do get to play as Vial tho which is cool. Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins. Basically goes without saying, it's worth playing if you like GnG. Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles, is a remake of Rondo of Blood, good in it's own right, but you can also unlock the Original Rondo of Blood, and Symphony of the Night. Last I guess i'll name Spider-man 2 PSP, it's a neat Curiosity if you liked the First Spider-Man movie game since the gameplay is based on that game engine and game design. There is also a few CGI cutscenes that aren't in the Console version of Spider-man 2, it features Pic Related for a split Second, and I have to point that out because why are MJ's Tits so perfect man sheesh.
