It works again after core updates so I guess they fudged something up previously. Yay

Vita has really been coming into its own with homebrew over the last year. I can't wait to see if the whole native res PSP games thing bears fruit.
But who'd want to play emulated SNES/GBA games on a Vita?
Weird resolution, so you either have bilinear filtering
or huge borders.GPU too week for shaders.
Pitiful battery life while overclocking (which is needed for more requiring game).
Gimme N3DS with Mugen Battery or just give me PC.
Does anyone have any advise on how to remove the upscaling artifact on the dialogue text of Shadow Hearts?
(In PCSX2 nightly build v1.7.0-dev-54-g3c65ddf72)
The black lines didn't show up in software mode, but I can't get rid of it in DX11 renderer, even with the "Align Sprites" hack.

In the past I had issues with OGL renderer since it won't play nice with Steam Overlay + ReShade on my rig, for some reason. Although to be honest I haven't tried Shadow Hearts with OGL renderer yet. I noticed with the DX11 renderer the frametime graph was looking rather flat already even with 2880p internal resolution scaling, so I just run with it.
I'll give the OGL renderer a go over the weekend to see if I can get rid of the artifacts.

My remaps and stuff for all cores are fucked after updating, idk if I did something wrong. Flycast won't launch content, most inputs don't work except keyboard.
Had to do a clean set up, only kept my playlist files and saves and I'm not entirely sure but I think my Beetle Saturn saves don't work, I had to redo VF2 settings.

A couple of days late, but maybe time for a replay soon?

Good enough to play the Picross S games.
Not like you'd want to play anything else available on Switch either way.
Found this interesting. Gotta admit, as someone whose not in the engineering/compsci, I was wishing GPU resources would be used to alleviate workload. This makes a lot of sense.
He is of course completely right, and that whole GPU "core" thing is always one of the first things I explain in my GPU computing lectures. Calling ALUs "cores" is a bit like calling CPUs "PCs". Annoying nomenclature.
I appreciate BSoD gaming's channel for the updates and guides but at some point his INSANE, UNREAL, INCREDIBLE and EPIC hyping is a bit much.
Also BSOD's rig is high-end, isn't it? 5Ghz 9900K or something.
Not really, but still not every mere mortal has this kind of rig
i7 8700k @4.7Ghz 16gb DDR4 3200Mhz RAM GTX 1080ti 11gb 256gb NVME M.2 SSD
Lol yeah, it's his antics (well, Youtube in general, tbf).I appreciate BSoD gaming's channel for the updates and guides but at some point his INSANE, UNREAL, INCREDIBLE and EPIC hyping is a bit much.
Maybe I'm late to the party but just found out about this pretty cool fan remaster. Widescreen support, and it runs 144fps (at least according to afterburner) and gsync without any problems, Some visual and minor gameplay tweaks (that can be disabled). In game achievements.
Too bad the Christian Whitehead version of Sonic 1 and 2 never came to PC.
Between the MAD instruction fixes and some format conversion fixes a few day ago, over the recent ~2 weeks or so literally dozens of the remaining rendering issues (some very long-standing) in RPCS3 have been fixed. So if you had a really obscure PS3 favourite that didn't render quite right, now may be the time to try again.
Can anybody find the setting where all connected controllers can control/access the menu? I can't find it in this version. Also I had to manually edit the config file to enable the shader setting to true instead of false, otherwise regardless of the presets/global/whatever I set every game started with shaders to off.

Got tired of waiting for SEGA to bring Virtua Fighter to PC already. First attempt to use RPCS3 and 5 FS seems nearly flawless with barely any settings fiddling.
Seems like acquiring the proper/last/updated version of games and what not might be the toughest part of this deal but I don't want many PS3 games tbh.

What your pc config? Maybe i will try SH Downpour again, last time it performed pretty poorly, too much stuttering on my i5-3570 with some framedrops to 20 fps..
PS - some nice floor reflections without raytracing in VF
Some Yuzu news:
Multicore has been finally merged into master:
Which means a huge speedup in a lot of games.
Also Brigandine : Legend or Runersia is allrdy perfectly playable at day 1, not a very demanding looking game i guess but still pretty great.

Happy to report that Outrun 2 is virtually flawless with proper settings now, which is wild to me. RPCS3 is amazing.
(not my video but I used it as a settings guide)
It is fantastic to be able to play the handful of last gen console exclusives - like Scott Pilgrim, I haven't plugged in my PS3 in years.
But it seems like Tokyo Jungle and Gomi Bako need a lot more time in the oven.
Meanwhile on Dreamcast I've been playing Redream, which is sadly closed source, but it's slightly better than Demul!

Try flycast in RA, the only real issue I've noticed is Sega Rally 2 doesn't get texture filtering no matter what but meh, don't wanna play that shoddy port anyway.
Also that feel when I realize PS3 is as old now as NES was when I first fired up a NES emulator...
I'll give that a shot some time.
Yeah it's a bad port but also I completed that whole 10 year season mode in the day so it fires my nostalgia bone...
I'll give that a shot some time.
Ryujinx (one of the 2 Switch emulators in development) now has a really good resolution scaling option:

Can anyone with some better understanding of CS explain what kind of magic this is?
I have a dual monitor setup, vert 144 Hz Gsync and hori 60 Hz non-Gsync. I have Retroarch setup to support VRR and when I play, say, Raiden Fighters Jet on primary display, it changes the refresh rate on my Gsync screen to 53 Hz, gameplay is smooth, etc.
Just for a lark, I tried playing it on the non-Gsync one, and it also outputs at 53 Hz (according to Retroarch OSD info), I don't see any tearing and the background scrolling is smooth.
Any idea why is this even working? By all accounts it shouldn't work. Is this Windows Compositor doing some black magic? Is this just something that seems to work, but comes at expense of severe input lag or something else? Are my old man eyes not seeing the tearing when it's vertical? Or is my computer just cursed?
