Saturn and Xbox emulation may get a exception because both systems are claimed to pains-in-the-ass (But, that still hasn't stopped the development of Saturn emulation (With several open and closed source programs), and only Xbox emulation gets the excuse of M$ threatening devs with C&D letters).įirstly open source is not a silver bullet. DS emulation hasn't gone anywhere because everyone was developing for DeSmuME (Which is open source), which bit everyone in the ass and is only NOW receiving alternatives. The only other alternative to MAME (Which is open source) for arcade emulation is FinalBurn.
#Chocolate hexen version incompatible ps2
Seems like "muh closed source" is nothing more than an excuse.īut, then you have it from the other end where the ONLY PS2 emulator is the piece of shit that is PCSX2 (Which is open-source), the ONLY GC/Wii emulator is Dolphin (Which is open source). That didn't seem to cause everything to come to a screeching halt for for over a decade.
#Chocolate hexen version incompatible windows
Meanwhile the first PS1 emulator was closed-source on the Mac, with the follow-up being closed-source on Windows and Dreamcast. >Project64 is finally open source but N64 is still in a sorry state of affairs even just from a compatibility standpoint. *Older versions of bsnes but only the Compatibility core actually blended the pixels together in the emulation core itself so the effect would more or less look correct, but nowadays the correct approach is to offload it to video filters. This is especially apparent if you play Kirby's Dream Land 3 where bad handling either gets alternating solid and empty columns on foreground objects (bsnes*), or just opaque foreground objects (ZSNES). Unfortunately that's still common in dumps of Amiga games. Those descriptors relate to a shitty older standard for ROM naming that sought to collect everything under the sun.Īs far as you're concerned only the one is of interest, the rest indicated badly dumped garbage, or deliberately modified dumps, the latter including occasionally neat things like trainers (obsolete with cheat systems in emulators) to more irritating shit like "intros" which are basically unskippable vanity cutscenes added by a ROM dumper, hence how the new standard for it No-Intro got its name to put an end to that rubbish. But yeah, anytime you are not using integer scaling, or have the native resolution set to your monitor's resolution, you should be using bilinear filtering. Some people hate the black borders you get when you do this though. This is just personal preference, but if you can integer scale, disable bilinear filtering and just do that. Xebra does run better on lower end machines which would imply mednafen is the more accurate of the two. I personally use mednafen since it's open source but I don't actually know which is the more accurate of the two for certain. It does run much better on weaker hardware though. Why PuNES? AFAIK it is still second to Mesen in terms of accuracy in currently established NES test ROM suites.īsnes and Higan are both cycle accurate and Snes9x isn't. SameBoy/Gambatte/Gearboy should still be preferable for GBC games, for now. Is mGBA ready for GBC games? It might already be on the level of many other GBC emulators, but I'm pretty sure the GBC support is still in heavy development.
