Anyone get Jeanne D' Arc to run above 20fps? I'm playing on the Nvidia Tablet and if I set frameskip to 4, it corrects the sound and the game runs good enough but I want to get up to at least a stable 30fps. Every other game i've run so far with ver. 1.0 has been amazing though.

 

[Rufus]

20fps at what emulation speed? If it's actually at 100% emulation speed that might just be the game, even on real hardware.

 

[Kamaji]

I'm not sure how to phrase this as to not sound overly stupid. I'm thinking of running Persona 3 Portable through this emulator and I have the following options.

13.3" laptop w/ 1366x768 screen, I5 3230M w/ Intel 4000 HD iGPU
42" TV w/ 1080p screen connected to i5 4460 w/ R9 280 GPU.

What would any of you recommend? I have a feeling it will look less horrible on a smaller screen but since the GPU is better on my desktop it could maybe compensate with higher upscaling settings?

 

[TC McQueen]

Either one is good, but the desktop is what you want if you want it to look the best. The laptop might be able to run games at 2x upscaling, AA, and texture filtering, but I'm not sure.

 

[_Ryo_]

It should work on the Laptop fine. If not on Windows then definitely on Linux. You'll have to use PPSSPP 1.0 or later though for Windows, I think.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

How would this emulator run on an HTC One X?

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

One day, one day Silent Hill Shattered Memories will work..............

At least Origins is working.

 

[54-46!]

I've been playing a bit of MHP3 on this thing, runs very well!

What kind of render and post-processing settings do you recommend for that game?

That depends on your hardware. If you've using a desktop with a beefy GPU, you can do some intense stuff. If you're on a laptop or tablet, it really depends on what hardware is built in.

Is there any way to run Portable Ops at a better framerate? I was thinking to play it again but it was rough on PSP and while the resolution is better, the constant 20fps still hurts in PPSSPP.

there was a thread full of 60fps cheat codes on the ppsspp forums i'll try find it for you if i can remember where it is

Thanks, I found this cheat which seems to work well. Maybe I can actually play through this game again.

 

[Oemenia]

Need some help, anyone here used 60 FPS patches? Im trying to get MGSPO to play in 30/60 FPS. I put in the codes into the cheat file and have ticked the boxes as well as enabled cheats, however the game still runs at 20.

Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Edit: NVM, used the codes posted above and it works perfectly. BTW how does it play at higher framerates, does it cause any issues?

Apparently 60fps gets buggy, but getting it to 30 it runs well without many issues.

Seems reasonable. Do you have an opinion on the game, especially in comparison to PW?

 

[Alo81]

I don't have any personal experience with it no. I just read about the framerate unlock at some point and looked it up again for the post.

Hello guys.

I'm planning to buy a Sony Z3 Compact phone, and I'm wondering if I can install this emulator without rooting/jailbreaking the phone. Also, can you confirm if I can install other emulators on this phone? Thanks!

 

[heringer]

Eh, it's ok. Not even close to Peace Walker, which already is a low tier MGS game.

Yes you can. No root required. Same for other emulatores like Drastic (DS).

 

[lcap]

Guys, how is Resistance: Retribution performance overall? Is it playable on a medium tier PC?

 

[Erin S Kittens]

Anyone know how to force AA, maybe through drivers? I can run full speed at 10x rendering with no issue, but it doesn't downsample--it looks the same as 1080p 1:1, including full-on aliasing. I've gotten so accustomed to absolutely breathtaking image quality in Dolphin and PCSX2...

Edit: Well, FXAA's available, and I suppose it's better than nothing. :/

[Teppic]

I tried this emulator for the first time recently. Pretty awesome to play Wipeout Pulse in 60 fps and 4x resolution and AA. Look really good in fullscreen.

Have to see if I can get multiplayer to work.

 

[kagamin]

I've gotten Project Diva Extend to work great on this, haven't gotten any Perfects yet but the game runs so well I wouldn't be surprised if I get one by practicing enough.

 

[Tizoc]

Anyone got any images showing what Kingdom: Ikki Tousen no Tsurugi looks like on the emulator?

If you ever get your hands on the Rift in the future...you NEED to try it! It's pretty fucking incredible.

 

[PantsuJo]

Is there a GAFfer that tried to run the emulator on a Minix or other Windows mini PCs? (or Bay Trail tablets, for example)...
What about frame rate and fixes?

 

[Wonko_C]

What settings do you use? It has always felt unplayable to me due to input lag, and different settings give me different amounts of lag, but never consistent enough to be enjoyable.

 

[Zack Zavage]

Has anyone here tried a DJMAX Portable game on one of the latest android versions?

I ordered myself an usb otg cable so I can pair my dualshock 3 with the xperia z1.

Hoping DMP is playable.

Jeanne D'Arc is the one game I just can't get to run well in this emulator, at least on any of my Android devices.

 

[BlazeHedgehog]

Crazy Taxi Fare Wars still crashes randomly.

 

[Locuza]

The Xbox 360 emulator xenia started exploring Vulkan:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=195692045&postcount=403

The DX12 backend for Dolphin got merged for 5.0:
https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/3364

And PPSSPP also does some preparations towards Vulkan:
https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/commit/868418062081ec94daac57116321c6e5203df9d6

The PS3 emulator RPCS3 is using DX12 for quite a while and is in active development:
https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/commits/master

And beside all of this the PS1 emulator epsxe got an update to Version 2.0:
http://epsxe.com/

And the PS2 emulator looks active again.

Wow, everything looks healthy and still improving nicely.

[NipplesAndToes23]

Is the text for Jeanne D'arc messed up for anyone else and Parappa the Rapper freezes after the first level?

 

[BlazeHedgehog]

I don't remember if I was even able to clear Parappa's first level the last time I tried it, because the timings for the PSP version are all messed up compared to the PS1 version.

 

[cyborg009]

Did anyone here get hot shots tennis multiplayer working? it just crashes the emulator for me.

I don't remember if I was even able to clear Parappa's first level the last time I tried it, because the timings for the PSP version are all messed up compared to the PS1 version.

Yea I couldn't even do it on the actual PSP version.

 

[Xpliskin]

Did they fix the Tekken 5/Tekken 6 foot jitter ? (looks like float rounding issues)

 

[Young Magus]

Can I get psn games to work with this? Got the DL version of Sora no Kiseki The 3rd and wondering if it can work (dl and the game in general)

Hi guys, can someone PLEASE let me know how Ys Seven is running in Windows on the latest build? Any crashes, freezes or game breaking bugs? I'm debating whether I should play it or skip it. I really would love to play the game but not if it's plagued with problems or can't be completed to the end. I have a fairly fast Windows 7 machine:


OS- Windows 7 x64bit
CPU - Intel Devils Canyon 4790k @ 4.6Ghz
GPU - Nvidia Geforece FTW 980Ti
Ram - 32gb DDR3 Ram
2TB HDD

geez it's been 2 years, what a monstrous community effort

Im in about 20 minutes and so far no problems. But I would hate to keep playing Ys 7 knowing there's a potentially game breaking bug waiting for me at the end.

 

[bomblord1]

So I don't know if anyone knows this and I came across it almost by accident.

You can actually download your digitally owned PSP games to your PC straight from Sony and use them in the emulator without ever touching a PSP. I was actually looking into getting a cheap PSP just to mod and rip games with until I found this out.

Nice - how do you go about doing this? Is it just a matter of moving everything via the Content Manager?

 

[bomblord1]

Download the Sony Media Go App from here. Once downloaded go to "Store" on the top left corner and choose "Downloads" it will ask you to sign into your PSN account here. After signing in you'll have a list of your digital PSP games. Click "download" on the one you want. This will download the file. Once completed right click on the item and then click "explore" and then from there right click again and choose open the containing folder to get the file location. You should see a .pkg file for your game. Get the .pkg file and move it to wherever you prefer (or keep it there it doesn't really matter you just need to know where it is).

Now PPSSPP can't use the file in this form as it's encrypted as a form of copy protection and was only meant to be able to be unencrypted during the transfer process to the PSP with Sony's tools. However someone was able to create an extractor for it that converts the file into a .iso that PPSSPP can use. The only working one I found was here.

Download the latest version tool linked above and launch it. Drag and drop the .pkg file into the extractor (make sure PSP is checked) and choose extract to get the file and finally open it in PPSSPP.

All in all it's basically a 2 step process download -> extract and you have your legally purchased PSN games right there on your computer for use with PPSSPP (or transfer them to your phone or whatever)

Nice! so does that mean I can play it on my phone too?

I don't see why not it's just a standard .iso file

 

[stan423321]

Trying this right now. Oh boy would I love this to work.
