if u char afford the real thing nothing wrong with an emulatorgame is game
Quoteif u char afford the real thing nothing wrong with an emulatorgame is gamePLOY PLOY SPLIT! Wha ppl fail to understand, is that PC ppl like me, who have no money, would have to suffer with emulators. Even though SOMETIMES it doesn't run perfect like the arcade/console version, it's good enough to play and enjoy. I not goin to lie, when ppl does see me sweatin games like chrono cross and ff8 on my pc they does laugh and ask how i does play it? Because the graphics a LITTLE poorer and doesn't run as smooth doh mean it not playable, but sometimes when the computer emulates it, it's clearer than other versions....
i prefer emulators.. they are so flexable
Quotei prefer emulators.. they are so flexableAnd cheap?And synth is right.The fastest console that could be emulated is the N64 is I'm not mistaken, and you need to come good with specs for that. Imagine a PS2 emulator. That'll be damn near impossible to render.

EPSXE with the help of Dave have made this the best emu in that category. like i tell many ppl in my psx forum the better looking you want it the more power you going to need. you need a 600mhz cpu and a 16mb gcard to atleast match the psx performance ( ofcourse this is dependant on the game as some games take more resources than others ESPECIALLY SQUARESOFT GAMES). at present i have a 2.4ghz p4 and a GF4 Ti so i dont really worry about settings plus we all using the new Open Gl 2 plugin dave is making. its better and emulating the psx effects and transitions as well as games look sweet but requires a beast to run at a good frame rate.*edit* about emulation unlike a console different games require different settings as some games push the system more than others. on a psx emu a game like Marvel vs Cap would run on a 300mhz celeron while a game like FF9 would still stutter on a 1ghz machine. as well as the game remember that in a emu like epsxe all the settings for the GPU (video) are enhancement settings and increase the games graphic quality. which means the higher the settings the better the machine needs to be. as well as the power of the Gcard. most emulators have surpassed their consoles. ZNES emulated super nintendo games better than the system itself the same goes for Kgen. some just choose to emulate exactly like the console. VGS emulated exactly like the psx, software rendering and all. (question - when last have you seen a game offer you software rendering as an option?)as for arcade emulation most games are 100% perfectly emulated. what makes it look different is that a) your sitting closer to the screen B)a monitor differs from a screen in the arcade c) memory can be a strange thing (especially if its an old game)finaly i want to make something clear EMULATION IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR PIRACY. i dont really want to blur the lines or misconstrue the issue. most ppl take it for granted that the two go hand in hand but its really not suppose to. excuses like cant afford and prices to high is whats causing the emulation community to be swamped by greedy n00bs and leechers. alot of the psx games i test and play are original. im not saying that i myself dont have a few copies lying about. yet atleast have some humility in the fact that your its wrong.*edit* if anyone needs help with emulation on the whole just give me a buzz.
amm two things. we really really shouldnt be talkin bout htios on de boards and further more a mod shuldnt be condoning the use of emulators and roms if a person cant afford to purchase said game and system.secondlyvirutal emulation is limited of course, the dc still cant be properly emulated off of straight virtual emulationdas where more use of hardware will be neededand iam sure most emulators do offer the option of using yur hard ware to push the emulator, so if yu get a dread board and card as some one said, it would be possible, plus the addition of tweaks can make it even bettertake out the god aweful jaggies in so many gaystation games.
1. Emulation is not illegal.2. Talking about it neither wrong nor illegal. Saying it is or leads to something that is wrong or illegal is like saying we shouldn't talk about games period...because we all know *everyone* pirates if we do!3. I never condone the use of illegally owned roms. Feel free to point out otherwise.4. The reason I haven't striked/censored anyone's comment is simply because piraters will be piraters, whether they say it aloud or not. Now if someone posted links to sites or something to encourage piracy that would be another matter altogether. As far as I see we have stuck to a mostly legal and technical discussion. Fee free to PM if you still believe somethign is amiss here.Quoteamm two things. we really really shouldnt be talkin bout htios on de boards and further more a mod shuldnt be condoning the use of emulators and roms if a person cant afford to purchase said game and system.secondlyvirutal emulation is limited of course, the dc still cant be properly emulated off of straight virtual emulationdas where more use of hardware will be neededand iam sure most emulators do offer the option of using yur hard ware to push the emulator, so if yu get a dread board and card as some one said, it would be possible, plus the addition of tweaks can make it even bettertake out the god aweful jaggies in so many gaystation games.
