His daughter is the SteamDeck, only loaded with indie games and more emulators.
I thought his daughter was a sega Jyn-esis?
Does this mean that she’ll end up dying in an atomic explosion?
Genesis!?!?
I emulate on the SteamDeck more than I ever have on any PC. It’s such an easy emulation machine.
battery on my steamdeck lasts way longer doing retrodeck things and no internet needed.
Yeah but you can play Mario 64 at like 20x default rendering

Why weren’t they playable before?
They were, but now you can play Majora’s Mask with dual analog camera controls and there are fewer errors because you aren’t emulating a 30ish year old system.
They were playable before. They are now too, but they were before as well
Well, I’m glad that they’ll be finally still playable! Lol

The Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
I fucking loved that game.

I believe Goemon is a pretty popular game in retro gaming circles. It comes up on many people’s “Top 10 N64” games or list of “hidden gems” on the console

I feel like there’s a lot of overlap between the people who are interested in the recompiled ROMs and the people who are involved in N64 discussions on the internet, haha
You can play Render96 with raytracing
My guilty pleasure: 4k TV, 4080 gpu, and I’m playing mother fuckin’ Super Smash Bros Melee.
Time to add some raytracing?
Did someone say ray tracing?
Please! I can only replay doom so many times in one year!
I want a way for my shitty, old computer to emulate a new, kick-ass computer.
“Never upgrade your PC again with this one weird trick!”
Streaming maybe?
cloud is the future, I got steam-headless on my server and stream games on my phone during lunch breaks. With things like that xbox subscription being more common I think thats how it will go. you just pay a subscription and stream everything
the future of 50-100 extra milliseconds of input lag
Look just hear me out. All you have to do is compress all your RAM into a .zip file, which is inside your RAM. After that, you can fit more stuff in your RAM. Then you can compress that again and again and again…
And you now have infinite RAM!
You should try downloading RAM and SSD, after that you will have enough space for the VGA. My brazilian friend sent me this russian link to where i can download it
Then download a NVIDIA 4090Ti and a 4K x 144Hz screen.
newegg hates this one simple trick.
Pretend you’re in the 90s?
Your machine serves you, not the other way around.
However there is such a thing as budgeting and spending money wisely.
I have a high end machine and I also have emulated GBA games on it. (I also play modern titles)
I do know someone who has a high end osrs machine, not wise spending.
Steam Deck absolutely changed my habits. I played more Elden Ring on it than I have my high end gaming PC. It’s just more convenient to turn on a play. Where lately, my gaming PC distracts me with emails, YouTube, random kinks like it can’t see my controller.
I don’t think Ill ever buy a gaming PC anymore and might fully switch to buying Steam Decks every few years.
If the other option ate those shitty games, then yeah, emulation it is.
I fell in love with emulating last summer. My one complaint is that multi disc ps1 games ask for disc 2, and no matter how many tutorials i watch on YouTube, i just can’t get it to work…
I mostly use handheld emulators, so not sure about one’s experience on the computer. In my experience, RetroArch makes it easy enough to swap discs. It’s not obvious how without instructions, but once you find those online it’s not hard to do. Try RetroArch if you have not yet done so.
I am on retroarch. Did all the steps to put the discs into a single folder. And reading your comment has made me realize i forgot to eject, and load. I’m a major dumb…
I’m glad you got it working!
Why has nobody commented about the examples of demanding games being Call of Duty, Hogwarts Legacy, and Diablo 4 of all games?..
The first two recommend a 1080Ti and the latter recommends a 2060 on high graphics
In his defense, that’s one of the best games.
You need a good PC to use the crt with reflection shaders ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Teach me your ways o wise master. I’ve been trying to get crt shaders to not look like dogshit for years and I have yet to accomplish it.
I used to play the free online version of that on friv games in primary school
I’ve been considering my options for a living room, couch gaming/emulation system for a while. I want something with a mid tier GPU for anything remotely modern that I might want to play there… My criteria for couch gaming vs desktop is whether it’s easier/better to play the game with a controller… One example would be driving/flight sims, the analog controls are generally better than mouse/kb… The only way desktop wins in that scenario is if you own a driving sim wheel/hotas for your desktop, otherwise, gamepad is generally better for the fine controls.
I don’t generally play a lot of driving/flight sims, but it’s a good example.
Anyways. The primary focus is on console exclusive games via emulation, specifically retro stuff. SNES/N64/Genesis/etc. Maybe to stuff as new as the Wii? IDK. But being able to play other PC titles would be helpful.
I’m thinking about a fair high clock speed, fairly recent CPU with a fair amount of memory. IMO, clock speed is more important so the reaction times of the emulation is minimized. I don’t think emulators can really take good advantage of multi threading.
My main issue is that any systems that fit the bill are super expensive. Something small/compact, with a high clock CPU, and something for graphics better than integrated… It’s not easy to find something like that for cheap.
It’s not something I would use all the time, so it’s not really very high on my priority list.
Surprising it’s not too expensive! There are a few small form factor GPUs of the current generation that could absolutely crush any emulated game from the Wii and back. I would say one of the best is the 1650 super for the high end. Or if you are really budgeting a 1650 would suffice. Everything else is a matter of taste a few YouTubers are creating awesome PCs out of old office PCs that are tiny in comparison. If you are building from scratch ITX, can get expensive but since it’s a low power pc for your tv similar to a console the parts should not be bad especially going with last generation parts that would still blast through Wii at the highest fidelity and anything lower would run incredible based on the emulator.
If I’m going that way, then I’m building a custom PC for the purpose and I’ve built enough PCs at this point that I’m not keen on building more… Especially when looks are a nontrivial point.
Finding a good looking small case that I can mount on the wall (or shallow shelf) seems like a gigantic headache. Plus building in such a case is probably a nightmare since it’s mostly built for looks, not for build friendliness.
I’m considering the minisforum nucxi7, to give you an idea. That whole thing is smaller than a 1650 super, and it has an rtx 3060/3070 built in, with a clean, minimal look. Not busy, but not boring.
It’s just… Basically impossible to buy, and/or afford.
Lol, I would imagine it’s not that difficult to buy an office PC and throw a graphics card in it if finding an itx case and planning a build sounds like that much of a headache. At the point where you want a machine so specific and you are tired of building PCs why bother at all on atheistics? Just buy a console my friend no point in doing any sort of planning. If you want a machine that looks nice is small and runs multiple emulators then I’m pretty sure you are out of luck… Wiis be cheap and don’t look bad and you can mod them to run any sorta games just by getting homebrew on a thumb drive. Small form factor cases and the hobby of building computers are fun for some but it’s not everyones cup of tea.
PS3 emulation is pretty heavy, but yeah, retro games give me the right mix of simple and entertaining. Maybe I’m just old.
