General Emulation Discussions

You star. Cheers mate.

And now to try source the de10....
I can only find one in Australia.

Any links, as I want to build one of these so I can get rid of a few consoles

I’ve been using Launchbox and I love it. I paid $20 for the premium one.

I’ve been adding artwork in phases. I’m keeping it minimal for now - boxes for console games and ‘clear logos’ for arcade games. I’m not interested in videos and things like that. I like that Launchbox is perfectly usable in its default state and easy to configure. Emulation Station was a hassle to set up and I just got bored.

I’m happy with RetroArch, but Launchbox makes browsing games fun and it adds to the nostalgia.

I've not really delved into it too much yet, seems quite involved but it looks interesting. I'm a little burnt out when it comes to getting everything just right tbh. I need to just... sit tf down and enjoy some games for a change.

If you are in Europe, the easiest way is to contact Ricardo through the UltimateMiSTer website:

You can also join the FB group here where he usually updates everyone when new stuff arrives. Next batch is in February. I'm getting a second MiSTer from him myself:

Same. I can waste hours on nonsense so I put my foot down with this. I did spend ages last week getting rid of roms I’ll never play but that means less unnecessary browsing during actual gaming sessions so it was worth it.

Looking good...

New spanking PC which cost me and arm and a leg - so .... I've decided to get back into emulation to play old games

Bit behind on the scene so few questions please:

1. What's the best Wii U emu
2. What's the best PS2 emu
3. Is there a decent PS3 emu yet
4. Is Dolphin still the best GC emu?

5. Where can I get ahem full sets (am I allowed to ask this??)

You are not

At look back at when the original Xbox was cracked

PCSX2 Ver.1.6.0 is now out

[Cepp]

Been messing around with MT-32 sound emulation for the first time in years. Wish I'd got round to buying the hardware a decade back considering the price these days, but it still bothers me that there's no one unit that can handle everything.

Anyway, it all works rather well and was quite simple to set up.
