This is the first time I am uploading patched Roms, unlike previously where I uploaded only the patch files. My personal collection of Super Nintendo Romhacks in ready to play patched Roms in .sfc and .smc formats, complete with a descriptive text document. Most, if not all, files are patched by myself, but I did not test every game yet. Some old Romhacks do not work in accurate emulators.

Please share this everywhere where Rom files are allowed to be shared. I am only sharing here at the moment.

This collection comes in two variants: flat structure, and sub structure. "flat" just means all Roms and documents are saved in one single directory. "sub" means, every game got its own dedicated directory, where only related Romhacks and Mods are saved.

Considering getting some more games, suggestions?

Seems like they recently update the RetroArch core but I still have issues with different games such as Metal Gear Solid 2 and Ico. It's just me?

Hi, As stated in the title I need some help backing up files, specifically my PS1, PS2 and maybe PS3 games. Which external disk drive that works with Linux would be recommended for this endevour? Thank you for your time.

I'm assuming the problem is that the version of the game or neogeo are not matched to the version of MAME. The thing is, the trial and error is taking forever and I think I'm even redownloading some ROMs from sites I've already been to. Is there a smarter way to go about this?

Been getting in the mood for an Armored Core 4 run and there is zero chance I ever dig my PS3 out of the closet ever again. Also more stable framerates would be nice.

So, these days, which emulated console (and emulator) is "best" for this generation? My assumption is 360 because of the CBE but the PS3 was a REAL sicko console and has relatively little backwards compatibility, so that might have been a bigger motivator for the development community.

Thanks

Hi, I have retroarch on various devices (Linux & android) and want to sync both saves and gaming history across devices.

Currently, I managed to sync saves via Syncthing. History syncing seems more tricky.

Do you have any experience with this? TIA

So, I want to get cfw for my sp I currently have stock and a spare card with a fresh knulli install. I like stock but postmaster is being kinda an issue

These are my requirements:

Support for postmaster stuff

Music player that isn't a ROM or postmaster thing

Pico8 would be nice too

So, I want to put some PC games on my ambernic sp. Found this thing called Pokémon crystalleague on postmaster. For some reason wen I add the files it just doesn't run. When I open it just closes and doesn't play.

Any ideas on what to do?

I find that launching certain games seems to be hit or miss as far as the BIOS is concerned, even though I think I have the right files. Is there a method that confirms you have the correct BIOS prior to launching a title?

Anyone got xenia working on linux? If so what strategy did you use?

I can get the og version of xenia "working" with bottles, but it runs really poorly. Xenia canary does not work (just hangs with black screen and grey menu options for a couple of secs before crashing).

There is a mod for the DSi/3DS called "Twilight Menu" and it allows DS games to use the DSi's better clock speeds. Given that overclocking is a common feature for emulators, I was wondering if there were any DS emulators with this feature. I have seen discussions on other websites about this topic and how it would be possible but none of the emulators are listed as having an overclocking feature. All of the documentation and discussions about this seem to be at least a few years old and I know a lot can happen in a few years.

So, I've been wondering. On the average desktop PC, what systems can be emulated. Without power being a concern. What aew the other limiting factors?

Specifically the emulation part. I wonder could this be used to take down a future emulator emulating the game. I know Nintendo claimed DMCA for the yuzu stuff. Not sure about EULA if there would be grounds to do so. Either way I'm sure we can expect more of this crap as time goes on.

like the rest of you I never read and ignore them , but on a whim I skimmed this one and this stood out.

Over two decades ago, a small company by the name of Bleem! appeared and offered a unique product in the gaming market, the ability to play PlayStation games outside of the original hardware, in what would be popularly known as "emulation" worldwide, be it in Windows PCs at the time (Windows 95...

So. I want to add ROMs to my stock sp. But km worried about box art. Anyone have any experience?

Will I need to add all the box art manually?
