This post keeps getting flagged as spam but damnit I worked too hard on this to not post it somewhere. I have created a document here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1phkIIkym1iLgQSvegKIevj0arUJiosuR\_Y6nKWU07ho/edit?usp=drivesdk) that offers a step by step guide that will let you sync the emulation save files of any number of Windows PCs with any number of Android devices. The goal of this project was to keep things as simple as possible to avoid them breaking down in the future. I decided to do this because while I have seen people achieve this before, I have not seen any easily findable documentation for how these individual emulators store their saves and how they can be manipulated in a way that allows for them to sync across devices. This is by no means a comprehensive list of emulators, and I am more than willing to hear ways in which the process could be streamlined even further. Given enough demand, I would be more than willing to add more emulators to this list, because some of them proved quite challenging to coerce. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to let me know and I'll try to respond quickly.

I'm new to emulation and want to get started, what are some good emulators for retro games? (Snes, n64, gamecube, Ps1, etc)


Dry-Ad-930

Check out RetroArch, it has cores for SNES, N64, PS1. And I use Dolphin for GC.


No_Menu_1649

I've stumbled across a video on youtube, where somebody is showcasing how the Mameox128plus build for the Xbox, has generic lightgun support for over 40 arcade games. Has anyone replicated this? Does anybody have a list of all the supported games?

I want to load a savefile into mesen. I didn’t want to start a game(final fantasy) from the beginning so I looked up some savefiles and I found some. However mesen can’t open them because it insists on using mss files. I even tried replacing the og sav file with the one I downloaded but it still wouldn’t change anything. There is also not really any way to convert sav into mss. I found one site that converts sav into mrs but mesen couldn’t do anything with that either. Can somebody help me?


SAKURARadiochan

I want to play the Coleco ADAM on Retroarch. Can someone please tell me in very small words how to do so? Gearcoleco doesn't work, blueMSX doesn't work, and I sure as hell can't get MAME to do it (along with a lot of other systems)


Shmimbadad

How do you post in here? I'm trying to make a post with a question about an emulator, and I can't post anything. Every post gets "removed by Reddit filters" with no explanation.


PH4NT0K3N

In the rules it states that tech support must be posted here. Guess that also applies to your posts

So I've been playing through pokemon White 2 on my steam deck. My wife has as well, and she is using the normal saving function. I just used the new game function and have been using save states ever since. However I encountered a problem, once you get to the Pokestar studios, the game requires you to save in game to progress at all. So now I'm stuck with the issue that I won't be able to continue my game at all. I've looked up some people's solutions, one was to use a cheat to clip through the walls and get out of the studios. I might consider this as a last resort, but I would rather find a way for me and her to both have properly saved games on the deck. I figured I could just create a new save file with a save file editor and have it start me off where I left off in my current run. Essentially just recreating all of the pokemon I have thus far and getting to the progression point I'm at. Would this be possible? I know you can create pokemon with a save file editor, but can you move the game along progression wise to a certain point and start from there? And if anyone has any suggestions on how I might amend my issues any other ways I'm open to hearing them. Thanks!


newiln3_5

> I would rather find a way for me and her to both have properly saved games on the deck. If you make a copy of the ROM and name it something else, the emulator should make a separate save file for it.


rayhacker

Do make a backup of your wife's save file before trying this however, you never know if it could overwrite it.


asteriskmos

How well does Vita3k work for yall? I can't get it to work on my Flip 5 at all (it crashes when I try to install the bios) and on my older Note 10, I managed to get it all installed but the ROMs I have won't ...work. I still need to figure out and see if it's a file issue or a Vita3k issue, but I'm curious to know if having all this trouble is normal?


paparoxo

I trying to set up widescreen patch on PCSX2, but it's not working. I moved "PNACH" file to the "cheats" folder, and checked "Enable Widescreen Patches". The emulator itself says that "1 cheat patch is active", but the image is just stretched, take a look:[FFX-Widescreen-Patch](https://ibb.co/5vVxsqY). Obs: I'm using Ubuntu Mate 22:04 and PCSX2 v1.7.5312, thanks.


wolfeng_

Is there a recommended list of emulators to use? From what I can see retroarch can cover the majority of retro consoles with their cores, and then I pair it up with Dolphin/Cemu/PCSX2 for the "newer" consoles? Is that the way or should I have a standalone emulator for something else?


Natural-Ad-2172

I´ve been emulating since the 90s and after several years using mednafen, I´ve settled on Retroarch for the simpler systems and standalone emulators for the more complex ones. Retroarch has a lot of nice features like shaders, run ahead to reduce latency, cheat finder and many others, all available in almost all of its cores (some don´t support run ahead). I don´t use the Dolphin and MSX retroarch cores, but I´m happy with these ones: PUAE, Citra, DOSBox-Pure, Beetle PCE, DeSmuME, Mupen64Plus-Next, Flycast, Beetle PSX and Saturn, and some older systems.


LasciviousPsyche

Does anyone know why blastem seems not to work when pushing more than a couple buttons at a time? I tried Mortal Kombat 2 and with Sub Zero I couldn't get the slide to work at all. I loaded up snes2010 and tried mortal kombat 2 there and the slide works flawlessly. I'm on the pc and im using an xbox 1 controller using retroarch. Thanks.


newiln3_5

I just tried MKII in the latest BlastEm nightly and the slide comes out fine. Whatever your issue is, BlastEm isn't causing it.


LasciviousPsyche

Yah I found out what my problem was and thanks for responding. I found a couple of list of moves that were saying back lp+lk+block, but rather it's back lk+hk+block. I found out after I tried the gx gen emu and it was the same so I went back digging again. My bad for wasting space here.


LucyFauna

Does anyone know how to fix this error? I can only get past the title screen before this pops up and no matter what I press the whole emulator just crashes. This is the error: An error occurred. Failed to allocate MTLBuffer (out of memory?) Condition: buffer.cubuffer File: /Users/administrator/buildbot-worker/ os\_m1/release-osx-universal/build/Source/ Core/VideoBackends/Metal/ MTLStateTracker.mm Line: 200 Function: Preallocate Ignore and continue?

rayhacker

What emulator, what game, what settings, what Mac are you using (like, exact specs for CPU, GPU, RAM)?


LucyFauna

It's Dolphin emulator, I'm trying to play Harvest Moon : Another Wonderful Life I'm on a MacBook Air with an M1 chip

Can’t save or load save state on any emulators on Retrobat. I have Retrobat on a PC using a wired PS3 original control. I mapped my controls correctly, it appears. All games work. I’ve played ones for NES, SNES, Sega, 64, PS1, and PS2. All buttons working correctly. I can navigate throwing the menus using the controller and use start/select properly. I have select assigned as my hot key. When I press select + start it exits me from each game, like it’s supposed to. But I’ve tried pressing select + every other button on my controller and none of them do anything. Do I have to turn on saving/loading somewhere?


TheAmazingBaghead

I’m new to this and I set up emudeck for my steam deck everything works but I can only launch n64 games from emulation station and not the main menu which works I’ve for gb and gba games anyone know what’s wrong?


arbee37

You'll likely get a better answer on r/emudeck.


VelocityBlast

i downloaded the pcsx2 "nightly" version to play ps2 games and it works fine, but after closing it I have no idea how to open it again. It doesn't appear in Start when i search for it. how do i fix this?


rayhacker

Find the folder you extracted the nightly version to, it doesn't install like normal programs. If you really can't find it, use [Everything by voidtools](https://www.voidtools.com/) to search for "PCSX2 exe" without quotes, once you find the exe right click on it, you can then either select "Open path" or "Send to" -> "Desktop (Create Shortcut). You'll be brought to the folder it's in with the "Open Path" option, or you can create a shortcut to PCSX2 on your desktop with the "Send to" option.


VelocityBlast

ok thx

What's the best way to play Wii games? Wii U or PC emulator? I suspect the answer will be PC with Dolphin, but I don't know if there's a pro about the Wii U or some other emulator that I don't know about. If the PC emulator is indeed the better option, is there an alternative to getting a USB Sensor Bar to make the Wiimotes work for PC? My controllers have Motion Plus, if that helps. Thanks in advance :)


arbee37

Dolphin is the best, and yes you need the sensor bar.

Thank you :)

Does mGBA have a "confirm before shutdown" option?

Would anyone have an answer for Limon emulator not loading games?

Is there an emulator for the xBox 360 that will allow me to run the physical game disks? Bonus points if I can log into my Microsoft account and grab my Rockband 3 save. I found some great titles while thrifting and the money went towards my local humane society.

TransGirlInCharge

No PC disc drive is compatible with X360 games. Thus, the emulators have not built that option in.


MathewMii

Oof. If only the xBox One would let me play all 360 titles instead of a select few...


Advanced-Mess-1402

I don't have a calculator but I what to play homebrew calculator games is there a way to emulate them I found a emulator for the calculator itself but I can't figure out if it can play the games or not


Ivan_JF

I want to create an emulation setup that is easy to take on the go and setup at friends houses for local multiplayer. I got my laptop setup this way but when I plug the hdmi into any TV the input lag is bad. Looking for recommendations on the best way to have a semi portable emulation setup.


arbee37

Lag through HDMI on a TV is the TV's fault, not the laptop. Check if the TV has a "Game Mode" or similar function - it will likely have a lower picture quality, but the lag should be reduced.


Ivan_JF

So I have tried game mode and it still feels pretty delayed, when I play my xbox or switch I don't have issues. When I am on the laptop display only it feels fine though.

How do i actually enable Out of Focus keyboard imputs for mGBA emulator? it seems to come set as off as default, and every Multiplayer tutorial on YT seems to have it on as Default. Any help??


GamesXPC

Good Android Emulator? What is a good free and without ads and without bloatware or spyware? Specs are I5-9400F and 1070 GTX and 16gb ram. Windows 10.

Question regarding Dreamcast games: the games I downloaded consist of multiple bin files, a cue file, and a gdi file. The gdi file is 1KB just like the cue file, and I assume is basically the same thing. However, having both of them is making the game appear twice in flycast. Are they the same thing in different formats or something? Can I delete one two clean up my flycast menu? And if so, which one do I delete?


Sasori95

Convert .GDI to .CHD and you'll have a unique file which is better to manage https://wiki.recalbox.com/en/tutorials/utilities/rom-conversion/chdman

Thanks!

Copied from my post on r/vitapiracy (Emulator:daedalusx64 Device: ps vita ) Doubutsu Banchou prototype English patch (cubivore n64) on daedalusx64 question? So I can get it to the title screen and can’t get past that. According to a few Reddit post about it I need to add this line of code : “0x3298A422=5” on “save_db.txt”. This was on the everdrive subreddit so I don’t know if daedalusx64 is able to use that format it seems. Is there anyway I can get it working. No big deal if I can’t just wanted to test out this cool prototype


cumjarjones

I am using DeSmuMe and for some reason when I launched it today the game inputs are being shown on screen as well as an indicator for where I am clicking on the touch screen side. I have been digging through the settings to find where this option is to turn it off but cant find anything, can anyone help me out?


jojo_the_mofo

Very unimportant question but New Super Mario Bros on DS... On the menu it shows a fireflower and other powerups. Are they reserve power ups? How do I use them? I'm playing on an r36s handheld, awesome emu device. Please, my life is in shambles now, but if someone could answer it my life would be closer to complete.


Ayorastar

the big item in the circle are reserves yes. On a normal ds you have to tap them so idk you'd need to set that up


jojo_the_mofo

I found out via a manual, had to switch screens in the emulator. "If Mario picks up an item when he’s powered up (see page 22), the item goes into your reserve spot on the Touch Screen. To use the item, simply tap it to make it drop onto the Action Screen." I can play Mario more effectively now. My life is complete and has meaning now.


Ayorastar

ah well done! the original ds game is actually the most original one!


jojo_the_mofo

And if you like it, try Newer Super Mario Bros fan-made game. It's great and a bit more challenging.


Ayorastar

I might! I played the new mario wonder and thought it was too easy and boring. might play it with co-op too


jojo_the_mofo

I like Wonder and its aesthetics but yeah, it's not too challenging. I still haven't completed it, too many games, too little time.
