What are /r/emulator's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I'm assuming you're using Windows. The only emulator worth using IMO is WinUAE. Like all computer emulators, it is a lot more complex than a console emulator. You have to understand a bit about the different models of the Amiga computer and the way they worked, and here is a good video that shows you how to use WinUAE.

You will need to find the Kickstart roms and the game disk image (.adf files) yourself, and Google is great for that. You might need to spend some time adjusting the audio, video, and other settings in WinUAE to get the game playing right, but once you have everything set, you can save those settings as a configuration file for a specific game.

I'm going to expand on this.
That depends entirely on what you want to do, if you want to play games casually you should go for Project64 V2.0 however if you want to speedrun most versions are banned.
An optimal version that isn't banned is Project64 V1.7.50, you'll have to do some searching for it yourself or I could send you the version I have (I don't have the page from were I downloaded it anymore) since it emulates the games as close to how they used to be emulated on the N64.

Look here for the best PS2 emulator to date. If you're into hack and slash or JRPGs, I would HIGHLY recommend playing Kingdom Hearts seeing as it's my most favourite game series of all time. Other than that, Final Fantasy X/X-2 is another pair of classics. As for linking you where to acquire said games, I'm almost positive the subreddit prevents that stuff, like most emulator forums typically do, so you'll have to find out how to acquire them on your own.

IMO there isn't much work involved in setting up Retro Pi. I would get a kit for 69.99 that comes with everything you need and 16.99 for a 2 pack snes controllers. You're not saving much money but you get a 32GB card and a card reader. The card reader is good for writing new RetroPI images (when the make an update). 32 GB also gives you more room for roms. I don't think you will be able to use that card in card reader to dump roms cause it will be Linux formatted and can't be read in windows easily. You will need to us a windows formatted usb drive to copy roms to the Pi. This should be true for the other ebay emulator kit too, though.

What if I told you that most video cards have an HDMI output that connects just as easily to a TV as a monitor? What if I told you that you could build a PC that you could attach to your TV? What if I told you that RetroPie runs on PCs too, on Debian or Ubuntu and can be set to autostart so it behaves like a console?

What if you actually listened to the answers people gave you instead of throwing your toys out of the pram like a spoiled child?

A couple questions.

1. Have you checked the compatibility list of both emulators? RPCS3 https://rpcs3.net/compatibility?c=l&p=2. Xenia https://github.com/xenia-project/game-compatibility/issues.

2. What's your PC Specs?

Glad I can help

Yaba sanshiro is a port of yabause is multiplatform http://uoyabause.org/static_pages/download

I would say is the only currently updated standalone saturn emulator. I tested it on my Firestick 4k (android) it worked pretty good.

You can test the original yabause but the latest version was from 2014 http://yabause.org

Saturn is hit or miss with the games, if you have problems with a game just test the game in another emulator, basically jumping between yaba and retroarch.

Not yet, curently there are only two PS2 emulator:

pcsx2: runs (very fine) only in Windows

and

Play! that runs in Windows, OSX, Android and iOS BUT runs very slowly and buggy. You can give it a try: http://purei.org/downloads/play/weekly/

Look into MAME.

> What's the legality of it?

MAME and emulation in general is legal, downloading ROMs is not (aside from ones that have been released online by their copyright holders).

I was scrolling through some search results so I could recommend an app to everyone. I tried Desume and it only kinda worked. If you want something buttery smooth and with dozens of platforms, try OpenEmu. It's much better than anything else I've tried.

Provinence works really well too. You can get it at http://builds.io/. I know nobody likes to pay for emulators but... for 9.99 a year per device you can play every console from NES all the way up to Nintendo DS straight off your phone. Plus a lot of the emulators sync your save states to your Dropbox. Paying sucks but it makes putting emulators on your phone ridiculously easy.

This is waaaay late but try

http://www.gba4iosapp.com

It used to work without jailbreak. Let me know how it works out for you

Edit, just looked into it more. You'll his have to pay for this

http://builds.io

And then you can get it. Still without jailbreaking but you'll have to pay. Looks like it includes emulators for a ton of old consoles and a bunch of other stuff. Probably worth the ten bucks

Yes, this should be easy to do with Parsec.

https://parsec.app/

What Parsec does is streams your computer to a friend, who can in turn send input (controller, keyboard, etc). This means he can control your PC (including emulator) remotely.

There is no way to play 3DS games on iOS. There is an emulator for 3DS available for Android however, this Android version of Citra available on the Google Play store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cpu.free.dsemulatorv6

If this works, this is great. Fast forward, most of the time there are cheats programmed that you can activate to mess around with, and savestates too. Couple ads here and there but not too bad.

Hey there! I've been shopping for one myself. I've just ordered the following adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0096PSFBG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ordered this one last week and it was a bunch of cheap rubbish: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SPA46M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

New one should be here on Tuesday. I'll try to remember this thread and let you know how it works.

By the way, do you use any sort of emulators?
