    Dude the last video you made about companies pushing out products all the time to make profit and how there is really no need for it because the jump in performance is almost always minimal, made me realize that i was fooled into "consuming all the time".Was going to upgrade my computer which has a 5700xt to the latest 6700xt or something similiar (the performance difference is really really not that much in terms of me being able to tell the difference during gaming) but now i simply just enjoy my hardware for it's core purpose which is gaming,which is having fun. I always cared about the performance of the hardware instead of using the hardware i got to have fun.Thank you for making that point,it really helped me widen my horizon about this.

      I agree in many cases, though if you want to do certain things such as game at a higher frame rate, higher resolutions, etc, then it's hard not to try to get the most powerful gear. But as an owner of an itx system with a 9600k and a 1080 ti GPU, it kicks plenty of butt for most things, and even the 7700k (which I previously delidded for better thermals) with an RX580 that I'm setting up as a retro-gaming PC for my girlfriend does a great job. My top PC has a 5800x and a 6800xt (which I paid a lot for a year ago), and it's the best for gaming higher resolutions and able to handle many mods for Fallout and Elder Scroll games at those resolutions, though the RX580 setup does fine for lower resolutions. Once I'm gaming, it really doesn't make much difference, though I'm not a FPS game player needing 144 or higher framerates. Another advantage of a powerful and newer setup, though, is emulating something like the PS3, which requires a very beefy setup for certain games to even have a chance to be playable. But then it may be better just to connect an actual PS3, which can also be jailbroken to back up games to an expanded hard drive and external hard drive, not to mention being able to emulate older games, as well. :)

      @@Rushtallica the thing is that most of those extra performance aspects aren't usually an actual need but an invented reason to sell people more stuff. People don't say they need any particular feature until someone markets that and then everyone needs to get there out of FOMO. When the reality is they would never have cared about that in the first place.

      The graphical ‘wow’ factor for me just doesn’t last for me anymore. I look at something like tekken 8 or sf6 and sure, the trailer looks good, but give it a week/month and you’re numb to it. Beyond the ps3/xbox360 era, I think we were looking at diminishing returns. You could turn the graphical fidelity down and use the extra horsepower for absolutely perfect gameplay. There’s no need for graphics w/ bugs

    Retroarch is amazing! Best thing that happened to emulation in a very long time IMO. Having one setup that works for all systems is such a massive QOL.
    My two biggest tips for newcomers:
    1. Use an interpolation filter like pixelate or sharp-blinear. Makes everything scale even great on an LCD. Also works on “high res” stuff like SVGA DOS games. (Alternative is to use a CRT filter, but I like my pixels raw.)
    2. Use 1 frame of run-ahead whenever possible. That with all the other input lag stuff(like using Vulkan with swapchain set to 1 or hard sync with GL) makes such a massive difference. Aaaalmost like playing on the really thing.

    • @rev0lu7ion
      @rev0lu7ion 2 года назад +3

      I'd recommend turning on auto frame delay as well which is a brand new feature for 1.9.13 that also decreases input latency. Previously you had to manually set frame delay for each game but now it's just one toggle and lower input latency achieved like magic for everything.

    • @BrickTamlandOfficial

      Another tip that was skipped over in the video is to remember that things like ReARMed are built for ARM cpus and that means they are optimized better on RPi or android devices that commonly use ARM processors. be sure to check that your android device uses ARM though as some of them are not ARM.
      Same is true for snes9x It runs better on ARM cpu. bsnes runs better on higher end computers.

    Actually, ParaLLEl core by now is kept as a legacy core for those with not as strong hardware, support for old romhacks and such since it has a fair number of old deprecated N64 plugins. Their Muppen core is the one that's being kept up to date and has the three important modern plugins for use to make it as close to accurate or as performance focused as possible. Still, good to have both if a game doesn't work in one core but does on the other (happened to me recently with Mario Kart 64 where I had texture problems in Muppen, but had none of those issues when I put it on ParaLLEl).
    Also, Duckstation is a great emulator and the libretto core could also be pretty good, but I personally do my PS1 emulation on the standalone DS emulator.

    I must admit i used retroarch a few years ago on a cfw ps3 and thought it was the biggest load of crap going, some of the emulators or cores i like were dodgy or just didn't run and put me off it, fast-forward to now i have a custom built new gaming pc and wanted it so I could have all the consoles i liked on one system and thought i would give RA another go and glad i did the pc verison is slick and all the system cores i wanted all work a treat now, i love it, the 2 systems i wanted emulated the most was the saturn and 3do and both Beetle saturn and Opera 3do run spectacularly well and with the right shaders you can mimic the real hardware, the rewind feature is a god send yiu don't know how many times its saved mu ass lol.
    I use the cores Megadrive, Snes, Saturn, 3do, Master System, Game Boy, Lynx, NeoGeo AES and Neo Geo CD

    You're absolutely right. You're preserving these games that hold the history of gaming. People say "oh it's stealing". What exactly are we stealing? Most of this stuff doesn't even exist or playable on a modern TV. Yes Nintendo is now emulating stuff on their switch but 99% of their library will ever get ported.

    Awesome video! I'm glad I found your channel.
    I saw some comments below about the Duckstation core. I've been using the Duckstation emulator to play Persona 2 Eternal Punshment and speeding it up to120% in its options and liking it a lot. I just recently discovered Retro Arch and I got the game up and running on Retroarch using the PSX Beetle core. It works and all, but I don't see an option to speed the game up a bit like it does on Duckstation. I found the Frame Throttle option, but I only see 1x and 2x options and anything above that is too fast for my liking. My question is if I use the Duckstation core will there be an option to speed it up somewhere in the 120-150% range? I'm kind of torn because I love the speed I can get it on Duckstation, but it looks better on Retroarch with all the shaders. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!

    I have a Macbook Pro M1pro 32GB and Super Nintendo doesn't run well. The craziest thing is, I also have a 2005 Powerbook G4 with a very old SNES9x emulator installed and works extremely smooth. I think those old PowerPC laptops were able to switch resolution according to the app. So it feels like playing a real super Nintendo.

  • @dreammfyre
    @dreammfyre 2 года назад +3

    The ParaLLEl core is actually obsolete now as I understand it. The same ParraLLEl stuff is available in Mupen64.
    EDIT: Duckstation is the best PS1 core IMO. It used to be abandoned but now they’re back working on the core again. I usually set it to 2x resolution with the internal run ahead on. Geometry enhancement on a game to game basis. Some just breaks or starts to flicker with it on.

    • @frosty295

    DuckStation for PS1 gets my vote. It offers HD res, various enhancements to textures & geometry, and CPU overclocking. For a PC like mine, DuckStation is a godsend. It's the only core that lets me have my cake and eat it too. Beetle PSX is great too if accuracy is more your thing. I personally couldn't give a rat's dookie about accurate PS1 emulation. The enhancements and speed have spoiled me, lol. Anyway, SUPER INFORMATIVE VIDEO LOGAN GOOD JAAAHB (said in a death metal voice)

      ​@@thecosmicloaf Well, for me, it runs a hellova lot better with texture & geometry corrections, 400% CPU overclock, and 8X SSAA. I just checked Beetle's options and didn't see anything for SSAA, just MSAA. DuckStation is the only core that allows me to play Shipwreckers at a solid 60 fps with very clean visuals. Beetle doesn't even come close. As for widescreen patches, I think the only game I use it on is Metal Gear Solid.

    problem with old games was input lag.
    Duh it killed sega saturns playability. Sony solved input lag... the industry struggled to keep up, we cud play arcade games at home for the 1st time ever with sony.
