What kind of emulator is right for me?

Using Windows XP with SP2, with hardware components state of the art as of now (FX-55, BFG Ultra 6800, 2GB RAM, etc...). I'd like an N64, Gamecube, PS2, and XBox emulator. As for games, I should be able to just put the games into my computer and play right off of them right?

How long have I been here? Would you believe I'm just NOW starting to do this emulation thing? That 1999 Compaq sent me a few years back, I guess.

There is not a PS2 nor a Xbox emulator out there so you will have to buy the console or you'll have to wait.

N64 - well check out the Guides in this section, but generally PJ64 (I guess you figured out you can't just pop in a N64 cart LOL)
GameCube - Dolphin will run a few games full speed but not great compatability at the mo, but no you can't just get a GameCube disc and run it from a PC drive
PS2 - Nothing worth getting excited about just yet
X-Brick - Nothing worth getting excited about just yet

one you didn't mention is Dreamcast that seems to be comming alone very well
A DC emu called Chankast runs very well and full speed with alot of games.
On a side not alot of the games for the DC are still being made in Japan and alot of the older DC games have been remade for X-Brick and GameCube, prolly PS2 aswell,
This one will also not run orginals, but it will run selfboots CD Images or CD-R's, there are some people that can run none boot games with a Utopia boot CD Image or CD-R aswell
A PC can't directly read a Dreamcast disc as they are not simple compact disc's but GD-Roms, but can be dumped to a PC through a method that isn't that diff from the method used to dump GameCube games, whats beter is that you can put the ripped data on a CD-R and play it either through the emu chankast or through a unmodded DC depending on th year it's made if you have a US DC, Euro ones never had protection like that though

EGGO, emulating!? We're all doomed! I should stop spamming up this thread at some point.

[Zorlon]

Yeah I'm back and this is the first time I have ever seen spam last so long in one thread in this section

I'll just be glad when this is no longer needed so I can finally unsticky it

Thanks Zorlorn. At first I was thinking about PJ64, but the description said nothing about Windows XP (hence the specification of the OS used).

I did forget about Dreamcast didn't I? I'm going to try that, though.

Excause me but who do you think you are to make such threats? Unless your an Admin you can't do anything to anyone......

First you insult a member, then you take my friend Hayase's work and put it in your sig after putting right on her site that "No matter what, do not use my images."

Not off to a great start.

N64 emulation while patchy in places is not too bad at the moment.

I personally would suggest to you project 64 and 1964

with project 64 there is a sp1 patch for it that does help with performance (never had the opprotunity to test it without so i can;t tell)

1964, two versions that may be of interest 0.8.5 and 0.9.9

these two tend to be the best.

Another problem that you may run into is plug-ins, sometimes you have to do a fair bit of fiddling with plug-ins, while not many games have problem with sound some do with graphics. I would recommend the following graphics plug-ins

Jabos. (newest
Rices Video 5.60
Glide 64 v0.7 ME SP8 (newest version available, have to check myself sometime)

Glide 64 requires a thing called a glide wrapper for your graphics card in case its not a voodoo card.

Generally the case is that one of these three plug-ins tend to do the trick.

phew. I need a drink.

A problem with the forums, hopefully it will be sorted soon.

This weekend my PS2 is getting fixed and I'm downloading games as hell now
But some games have Multi4 or Multi5 in the name and I'm wondering what it means. Is it a release group or does it need some to get burned on a special way( can't think of any special way's but it could be an option ) ..

anyways , I hope someone can make it clear for me .

[Cyberxion]

All that means is that the game is multi-language, and that it's Pal. There's no special burn method for these. As long as you can play Pal games, you're set.

Hey guys, i have a problem with the VGS emulator (for psx)...

I"m on Windows XP, and for some games such as Chrono Cross and Xenogears, the audio is somewhat screwed up: in CC, the background noise is missing (i.e when you move the stones waaay at the beginning of the game - there's is no splash - and at other times too), and in XG, whenever it's my turn in a battle, the game makes an awful 'pixelated' noise. It lasts for less than 2 seconds, but it comes up quite frequently, as battles normally take several turns to complete...

There also some other games with ~slight~ problems, but they are bearable...

So if anyone has any tips, please don't be shy! ; )

If you dont have the bios get them here

If you have them, well, im sorry i cant help... i dont do Sega CD emulation.

[polobunny]

Lunar and Lunar 2 are also on PSX.
(The official names aren't really Lunar and Lunar 2, but i know alot of people wich refers to it...)

So, what emulator are you using?
Edit->Or wanting to use...
For PSX, I suggest ePSXe.
For Sega/Mega CD, I suggest Gens.

[Evanescenceb_91]

I have the Gens and i have the game... which BIOS do I dowload and where DO I put them and all that stuff?? How do I run the file/??? Thnx for your help btw
