One issue you’re running into here is that these retro drives have very old versions of the emulators bundled in. I’d be interested in seeing what the PC can do with updated versions of the high-end emulators.

@TechDweeb Год назад

The high end emulators are all my own, fully updated (I put a note at 09:59 that all emulators after that point aren't from the HD).

@mattparker9726 Год назад

Also, @TechDweeb for those of us new to emulation, can you please go over the emulators themselves? Split into several categories. Like more mature emulation software, and newer software just up and coming onto the scene, and by generation and which emulators are better for which console and why? I would love to learn more about emulation, and I am overwhelmed with options.

@jose2822 Год назад

Did you try to use the pcsx2 nightly builds? The San Andreas glitch doesn't happen to me anymore (I just realized that you are not using the nightly builds, I recommend that when you try that emulator you go for those nightly builds, not the stable ones that are very outdated)

@TechDweeb Год назад

Ah yeah, that was the build that came on the drive. Everything after that generation of consoles I had my own emulators. I'll keep that in mind 👍

@jose2822 Год назад

The bad thing is that it no longer has support for Windows 7, depending on how old the cpu is, you have to be sse 4.1 or avx, since I think it is no longer optimized for CPUs with sse 4.1, although I don't know exactly, but now introduce vulkan and dx12

Mr. Dweeb! PS3 Games are absolutely playable on your niece’s 9th Gen i5! Skate is one of the hardest games to emulate. You also need the latest build that updates nightly. Street Fighter 4 runs amazing! The Rayman Series. Castlevania games. All run anmazing. And you used Open GL when Vulcan works so much better! I can emulate all of these games at 60fps during gameplay with an i5 6500. Some cut scenes are choppy and too much for the 6th gen i5. Do a deeper video on RPCS3! It’s amazing!

What I REALLY want to see is a better DOS emulator, sure DOSBOX exists, but it's a pain in the Micktah to get the game's folder mounted, and I eventually just gave up, and dragged the .exe onto the DosBox shortcut instead. (pro tip guys) anyways, Why can't we see a fully functional GUI setup like other console emulators, just made to look like Norton Commander? Everything is already done, all you have to do is add your ROMs into a folder, and BAM off to the races!

@TechDweeb Год назад

I'm with ya. DosBox could be so much simpler than it is by default.

@SeeJayPlayGames Год назад

@@TechDweeb Two words : D-Fend Reloaded. It's a front end for DOSBOX and while it's not 100% "done for you," (was DOS ever?) it has templates and individual configs and makes the whole thing a LOT easier to configure. It even supports different builds of DOSBOX, for those who want to mess with that; some builds have 3Dfx support, and it supports ScummVM as well. I have all of my DOS games in a folder, with subfolders, and it mounts that main folder, goes to the game's subfolder, and sets up the emulation parameters - processor speed, RAM, video type, sound card, joysticks, etc., and you can tweak that if needed. It maintains config files for each game, independently configurable - and yeah, eventually, off to the races... I even have Mechwarrior 2 running with CD audio from an image file, running better than it ever did on a Pentium. It's pretty sweet. The sad part about this project is that it hasn't been updated in nearly 8 years, but the last version (1.4.4) seems to work fine... Maybe you can grace us with a production about D-Fend Reloaded, IDK.

Voices inside the head? Not knowing is eating em up man! 3. There was a no 3, but I forgot what it was. You're running out of pc emulators to test. I mean, if you consider tinkering and tweaking emulators not ready for the prime time fun (which I do when I have a powerful enough pc), then sure. There's plenty of material. However, if you just want to relax after a hard day, kick back and watch Tech Dweeb videos and play some games, not necessarily at the same time or in that order, we're getting to the point where almost anything can run everything.

Right click taskbar to 'unlock' it, then you can move the new toolbar to the other side of the taskbar (the top, as I have it). Then right click the toolbar, go to view > large icons, then right click again and uncheck "show text" and "show title". You can also create a 2nd toolbar with small icons.

PS3, and Xbox is out of the question unless you want to play them at half or a third of the frame rate running on native hardware. Minecraft will work great though on the Windows Store version, you may have to turn down the render distanced a bit compared to the Java version of Minecraft.
