[s8n187]

[Yardley]

Hi guys, is anyone here emulating Playstation 2 through PCSX2 and CRT Emudriver? I am getting really bad ghosting/motion blur even though the game runs at 100% speed. I'm using a Radeon R7 250 graphics card. Can someone post their settings please or any suggestions?

[s8n187]

hi Yardley ,  do you have V-Sync on in PCSX2 ?

[s8n187]

got it working people ,  i had to install some missing Visual C++ Redistributable Packages.

I use d3do overrider with vsync and triple buffer activated. Fine with a weak hd 6450 OpenGL.

Salut!

Hey,

I'm having a problem with retroarch : it seems to have trouble switching resolutions. The first game I launch runs on the correct, low res, but if I close it and launch antoher game with a different resolution, I get  a squashed interlaced resolution. If I close retroarch and launch the exact same game, it runs fine. Here's a video showing the problem :

Same problem here and i have no idea what to do about it.

Are you using RA's builtin switchres ?

Are you using RA's builtin switchres ?

Yes.

Are you using RA's builtin switchres ?

Yes.

Well, then you should join their discord or open an issue on RA's github, the "switchres" feature is much different than how groovymame does it, afaik

Well, i thought this is the emulator compatibility list topic, not the Groovymame support.

test system: Windows 7 64 bit, Radeon HD5700 series, CRT emudrivers 2.0, Sony PAL TV 15kHZ

Sega Megadrive/Geneis                    Kega Fusion 3.64    320x240 PERFECT
Sega CD (Mega CD)                           Kega Fusion 3.64   320x240 PERFECT

People who are  having this results with Kega Fusion on Windows 7 x64 can give a resume help on how to achieve?

[R-Typer]

@Overkill

The reason I switched to Retroarch was Kega Fusion not working properly on Windows 7 x64. Now being on Retroarch I never look back. Its that good. and pixel perfect. Plus it has a run-ahead feature to remove input lag. plus it has a rewind action replay feature.

[Overkill]

Great, going to give it a try. It's just for some Mega-CD, and 32X games. MD games on Mame are ok.

Thanks R-Typer!

[harry_sack]

anyone got FCEUX 2.2.3 to work?

I read here in this thread somewhere that it works perfectly.

I changed my desktop resolution to 256x240, changed the resolution of the emulator, but when I enter fullscreen the screen turns black for 1-2 seconds and then reverts back to windowed mode

I'm on windows 10 and use a Radeon HD 4570

[Overkill]

Retroarch is running well, using rgui. But I have some screen tearing on the top image scrolling of the MD, 32X, MCD games. Don't know what I'm missing in the configuration:

crt_switch_resolution 2560 15khz
crt_switch_center_adjust = "0"
crt_switch_resolution = "1"
crt_switch_resolution_super = "2560"
crt_switch_resolution_use_custom_refresh_rate = "true"
custom_viewport_height = "240"
custom_viewport_width = "2560"
custom_viewport_x = "0"
custom_viewport_y = "0"
video_aspect_ratio = "8.000000"
video_driver = "d3d11"
video_frame_delay = "0"
video_fullscreen = "true"
video_fullscreen_x = "0"
video_fullscreen_y = "0"

I might have the exact same problem. I posted a topic about this in the libretro forums but I still don't know how to resolve it.

Hello,
if you are using the genesis gx plus core, try to set borders to top/bottom in the options of the core

For master system I prefer to set borders to full

I would like to thank Calamity for all of your hard work! I have been building my system for a few years, and am finally getting my cabinet close to completion.
  I am running several emulators that aren't represented on this list, and I would like to let you guys know that these are working perfectly on a crt emudriver/arcade monitor setup with windows 7 64 in either native resolution or in a few cases, super resolution. GPU is r9 380x.

Standard version of nestopia, 1.40 native resolution.

SNES9X 1.56.2 flawless in super resolutions.

kega fusion version 3.51 with calamity's direct draw files. Switching resolutions perfectly in hyperspin. I have tried other versions of fusion and cannot duplicate this. only 3.51 works for me.

supermodel is also switching resolutions just fine. version .02A

Yabusa 0.9.14 was working for all saturn emulation, but hangs on launch since installing r9 380x.  will have to revisit the emulator and edit the post. EDIT: *yabausa was defaulting to 800x600 resolution. after correcting the resolution yabausa launches and shuts down correctly.*


Xebra. version 19/6/25 The biggest success, and I feel the best PS1 emulator. Looks stunning using super resolutions. Dithering is intact, debatable whether that's a plus or minus, but I love it.

Dolphin 5.0. I understand it isn't a "240P" emulator, but it is also works very well using super resolutions.


Please let me know if you have any questions on the settings for these emulators. Sometimes it takes a lot of messing around to get them to work, especially Xebra because the info is mostly in Japanese.

Thank you for the information regarding compatibility. I want to piggyback off this post and ask to anyone who might know - does an emulator need to have been built explicitly with super resolution compatibility in mind? I've used groovymame and emu4crt, the awesome fork of mednafen by silmalik, and they work great with super resolutions, but haven't tried with other emulators. Like Xebra - I'm fairly sure that author wouldn't have had super resolutions in mind when he developed it.

[fuchi_jeg]

As long as the emulator can stretch the image width independent of   the height it should work. For most emulators that means choosing 2560x240 resolution, choosing stretch, and hoping that the emulator is capable of changing from interlaced resolutions to progressive on launch.

[formula409]

The PC version of Final Fight works with CRT Emudriver with super resolutions. You set the width and height to 2560x224.

Hi

Whats my best option these days for running taito type x games via the crt emudrivers ?

Thanks

Hi

It depends on the game, most of them with "game loader all rh" works really well, another ones with "typex_loader".

For Nesica games best with "RFIDGod_inject"

[trev1976]

Hi , I'm mainly interested in the vertical Shooters and 2d Fighters on taito type x one system.

No problems with these games...test it with gameloader rh all

Hi .. wich one ?? I installed aio runtimes but still nesica not work

[haynor666]

I tested many Taito Type X/X2 games and most of them works. Some required wide resolutions which by default are not installed.
Nesica games but required for example HD or Full resolutions. I'm going to revisit many old system since it changes a lot during last two years in VMamker/groovymame.

[feltz]

Anyone have recommended settings for Supermodel emulator with a NTSC setup? Seems the command line args for resolution are for progressive resolutions, as if i specify 640x480 it goes out of range for me

So far the only thing I have ran to get a clear image has been in a windowed mode..

Hi, I would like know if the N64 emulator Mupen64Plus is compatible with EmuDriver? When I go full screen I get out of sync image.
I got the same issue on some other emulator that was set on OpenGL but I could change for Direct3d but not on Mupen64Plus.
I tried changing many options but without succes. It's the last system I try to setup on my Cabinet all the other are working.

Any info would be be appreciated.

than kyou.

Hi, with Vulkan didn't worked for me. Only with glide. Check this core options:
mupen64plus-rdp-plugin = "gliden64"
mupen64plus-rsp-plugin = "hle"
mupen64plus-rspmode = "HLE"

[punkfungus]

Thank for the tips but no succes with it.
I finally tried Project64 and it worked with a video plugins.

Hello everyone i tried to run Yaba sanshiro  latest emulator i think this is the best emu for Saturn.

The emulator doesnt launch for me unfortunately, Win 10 64bit   , AMD Radeon R9 380  Crt emudriver 2.0 win10

Desktop res 640 x 480 60i    ,  tried to play around with emu settings fullscreen res set to 640 x 480 .

Hope this emu will run with crt emudriver , emu is still progress being worked on.




(with dolphin the video plugin set to opengl results in crt being distorted -> i set it to directx 11 for now)  it doesnt like opengl

Forget that emulator and use emu4crt https://github.com/psakhis/emu4crt

Best Saturn emulator is Mednafen and not his libretro core...

Yuzu doesnt run for me , after installing crt emudriver  i get a message

I have an Issue with Retroarch 1.10.3 and the Mesen and Mesen-S cores. When I start a game switchres is switching to the correct super resolution. When exiting the game it is not switching back to the default desktop resolution. Other cores like SNES9X and bsnes switch back correctly. The strange thing is, that everything was working before with Mesen and Mesen-S. Maybe a core update broke something?

[psakhis]

Which backend? It's fine here with opengl.
