NBA Inside Drive 2002 (ISSUES) (4K / 2160p) | xemu Microsoft Xbox Emulator @FreeEmulatorVideos

Free Emulator NBA Inside Drive 2002 "Only on Xbox" running at native resolution (1x) on a Windows 10 64-bit PC via the xemu original Xbox emulator version 0.7.120. Official xemu site: https://xemu.app/
http://www.freeemulator.com/xbox-emulators

xemu is currently available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Flatpak, and Ubuntu PPA operating systems.

Note that at this time not all Xbox games are compatible with the xemu emulator, but the awesome xemu devs are constantly working to make more games playable. Here's the official compatibility list: https://xemu.app/#compatibility

---------

My PC specs:

- AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU (24,689 multithread / 3,286 single thread PassMark score)
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB Graphics Card
- 32GB DDR4 3600MHz (PC4-28800) CL18 Desktop Memory
- SSD storage (NVMe)
- Windows 10 (I tried Windows 11 shortly after it released and found it to be too buggy for what I mostly do on PC, so I reverted back to Windows 10)

---------

xemu setup and settings:

If a setting isn't mentioned below, assume I left it at its default.

Also note that with my PC (Windows 10), I usually run my 4K monitor at 300% "Scale and layout" from within the operating system's "Display" settings. However, that causes xemu's upscaling to not work properly... but setting it back to 100% makes everything work as it should.

For the initial setup of xemu, you need the following files (Google for them or watch other videos here on YouTube if you need them):

SETTINGS - SYSTEM

-MCPX Boot ROM: mcpx_1.0.bin
-Flash ROM (BIOS): Complex_4627.bin or Complex_4627v1.03.bin (I believe either will work)
-Hard Disk: You can use the default one if you don't want to be able to boot into the original MS dashboard (more on that below)
-EEPROM: eeprom.bin

NOTE: To enable native 16:9 widescreen support, you need to be able to boot into the official Microsoft dashboard via xemu, which involves booting into a replacement dashboard using the dashboard's .iso file, then FTP'ing the official dashboard, and tweaking a few settings. You can get started with that here: https://xemu.app/docs/ftp/ -- You will likely need to search YouTube for how to do this whole process as it can be a bit confusing/complex. I believe you can also make adjustments to the eeprom.bin file, but I didn't mess with that myself.

SETTINGS - INPUT

I am using an official Xbox One controller connected to my PC via USB. The emulator automatically detects and maps all of the buttons with this setup.

SETTINGS - DISPLAY

-Internal resolution scale: I have found this to be dependent on the game. Some games will run at full speed for me when I render them in 4K (i.e. 6x), others struggle at 1x or 2x, and yet others somewhere in-between. You'll have to play around with this setting to see what works best for your setup on a game-by-game basis.
-Vertical refresh sync: On
-UI sacle: 2x (I like it at 2x better than 1x, but try out both and see what suits you).
-Display mode: Scale (should be the default, but I don't remember exactly).
-Aspect ratio: 4:3 for games that do not support native 16:9 and 16:9 for games that natively support it (assuming you have it enabled with the official MS dashboard).

SETTINGS - NETWORK

In order to be able to FTP files over to setup the official dashboard (search on YouTube for how to do this if you want the official MS dashboard), you'll need to setup the adapter here so it is enabled, attached to NAT, and port forwarding to something like 2121 host port, 21 guest port, and TCP protocol.

New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis on Google Pixel 7 | Dolphin Emulator (Android) Nintendo Wii

Free Emulator 2024-05-12 | New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis for the Nintendo Wii emulation gameplay on the Google Pixel 7 (not the Pro model) Android phone via the Dolphin 5.0 emulator (dev build 21502).
http://www.freeemulator.com/dolphin-emulator

Official Dolphin emulator website: dolphin-emu.org

I decided to upgrade to a Google Pixel 7 and figured I would see how well it handles video game emulation. It seems to run GameCube and Wii games pretty well at 2x resolution, which actually looks really nice and crisp on the phone's display.

For GameCube games, I am using a real GameCube controller connected to my phone via an OEM Wii U GameCube controller adapter (I use a USB hub that connects to the phone via a USB C to A adapter... the adapter the phone comes with works fine).

For Wii games, I use a real Wii remote / nunchuck connected to my phone via a Mayflash DolphinBar (requires a USB C to A adapter... the one the phone comes with works fine).

I am using the phone's built-in video screen recorder. Note that it can have a small impact on performance, so if a game appears slightly jerky but the FPS remains solid, it typically plays smooth as butter on the phone when not recording.

GOOGLE PIXEL 7 SPECS:
- 6.3-inch OLED / 20:9 aspect ratio / Up to 90Hz screen
- Google Tensor G2 CPU
- Mali-G710 MP7 GPU
- 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM
- 128 GB or 256 GB UFS 3.1 storage
- October 13, 2022 street release date

My Dolphin emulator settings for the Pixel 7:

CONFIG - GENERAL
- Dual Core [x]
- Speed Limit: 100%
- Enable Savestates [x]

CONFIG - INTERFACE

- Audio Volume: 100%

CONFIG - PATHS
Untouched--I didn't mess with any settings here

CONFIG - GAMECUBE
Untouched--I didn't mess with any settings here

Note: The only thing I messed with here is under Wii Remote settings (I have a Mayflash Dolphinbar that I use with a real Wiimote). If you don't have this, then you don't need to change anything here.
- Wii Remote Rumble [x]
- Wii Remote Continous Scanning [x]
- Wii Remote Speaker [x]

CONFIG - ADVANCED
- CPU Core: JIT Recompiler for ARM64 (recommended)

CONFIG - LOG, DEBUG, & USER DATA
Untouched--I didn't mess with any settings here

GRAPHICS SETTINGS
- Video Backend: OpenGL or Vulkan (OpenGL is a bit slower, depending on how demanding the game is, in my experience, but it is less buggy/glitchy than Vulkan).
- Show FPS [x]
- Shader Compilation Mode: Hybrid Ubershaders (seems to work best for the games I have tested so far)
- Compile Shaders Before Starting [x]
- Aspect Ratio: Auto

GRAPHICS SETTINGS - ENHANCEMENTS
- Internal Resolution: 2x Native
I didn't mess with any other settings here

I didn't change anything under Hacks or Advanced under Graphics Settings.

GAMECUBE INPUT
- GameCube Controller 1: GameCube Adapter -- I use an OEM Wii U GameCube Controller Adapter along with an OEM GameCube controller.

WII INPUT
- Wii Remote 1: Real Wii Remote (DolphinBar required) -- For Wii games, I use the Mayflash Dolpinbar along with an OEM Wii remote / nunchuck (if the game uses one)

Sega Worldwide Soccer 2000 Euro Edition (EUR) (4K / 2160p) | Redream Emulator on PC | Sega Dreamcast

Free Emulator 2024-05-11 | Sega Worldwide Soccer 2000 Euro Edition (Europe) on a Windows 10 PC via the Redream Sega Dreamcast emulator version 1.5.0-1125 (I paid $6 for the premium version, which enables high resolution textures and extra save slots). Download the emulator here: redream.io
http://www.freeemulator.com/sega-dreamcast-emulators

Redream is currently available for Windows, Mac, Android, Linux, and Raspberry Pie. If you purchase the premium version, it gives you access to the premium version across all platforms.

As I have done for other consoles, I decided to start a journey of testing out all compatible Dreamcast games (English based and perhaps a few Japanese exclusives if they are good) with the Redream emulator. I'll be doing the tests on my new PC (specs below) and will be recording/playing them in 4K enhanced resolution. I'm a big fan of the Dreamcast (I still have my childhood console that I saved up and bought myself when I was a kid), so I am very excited to test out a bunch of games on the awesome Redream emulator!

Free Emulator 2024-05-10 | Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky running on a Windows 10 PC via the RPCS3 0.0.31-16396 PS3 emulator at 4K / UHD. Download the latest version of the emulator here: rpcs3.net
http://www.freeemulator.com/playstation-3-emulators

RPCS3 is currently available on Windows, Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD operating systems.

---------

As I have done for other consoles, I decided to start a project to test out every English PS3 physically released/retail disc games (mainly focusing on NTSC-U region, but I will be testing other region's exclusive games as long as they are in English and perhaps a few others not in English if they are highly regarded and seem interesting to me). I will be testing games in alphabetical order. I will be rendering the games in 4K (some games at lower resolution if they run poorly at 4K on my PC) via the RPCS3 emulator. The PS3 is one of my favorite consoles, so I am stoked to do this project!

Note that at this time not all PS3 games are compatible with the RPCS3 emulator, but the awesome RPCS3 devs are constantly working to make more games playable.

MY PC SPECS:

- AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU (24,689 multithread / 3,286 single thread PassMark score)
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB Graphics Card
- 32GB DDR4 3600MHz (PC4-28800) CL18 Desktop Memory
- SSD storage (NVMe)
- Windows 10 (I tried Windows 11 shortly after it released and found it to be too buggy for what I mostly do on PC, so I reverted back to Windows 10)

---------

For my standard testing, I only change around a few of the emulator's default settings. Here's what I do:

- Settings / GPU
Resolution Scale (Disable Strict Mode): 300% (3840x2160) -- i.e. 4K rendering
Output Scaling: FidelityFX Super Resolution (I leave the RCAS Sharpening Strength at the default 50%)
Vsync: Checked/on

- Settings / Advanced
Exclusive Fullscreen Mode: Prefer exclusive fullscreen (I get more stutters if it is set to borderless)

- Settings / Emulator
Show PPU compilation hint: Unchecked/off (I just don't like it popping up on the screen)
Show shader compilation hint: Unchecked/off (same reason as above)

Some games require more adjustments to get them to work. See my comment for this video for the details.

-MCPX Boot ROM: mcpx_1.0.bin
-Flash ROM (BIOS): Complex_4627.bin or Complex_4627v1.03.bin (I believe either will work)
-Hard Disk: You can use the default one if you don't want to be able to boot into the original MS dashboard (more on that below)
-EEPROM: eeprom.bin

NOTE: To enable native 16:9 widescreen support, you need to be able to boot into the official Microsoft dashboard via xemu, which involves booting into a replacement dashboard using the dashboard's .iso file, then FTP'ing the official dashboard, and tweaking a few settings. You can get started with that here: https://xemu.app/docs/ftp/ -- You will likely need to search YouTube for how to do this whole process as it can be a bit confusing/complex.

-Vertical refresh sync: On
-UI sacle: 2x (I like it at 2x better than 1x, but try out both and see what suits you).

-Aspect ratio: 4:3 for games that do not support native 16:9 and 16:9 for games that natively support it (assuming you have it enabled with the official MS dashboard).

SETTINGS - NETWORK

In order to be able to FTP files over to setup the official dashboard (search on YouTube for how to do this if you want the official MS dashboard), you'll need to setup the adapter here so it is enabled, attached to NAT, and port forwarding to something like 2121 host port, 21 guest port, and TCP protocol.

Mario & Luigi: Bowsers Inside Story + Bowser Jr.s Journey on Google Pixel 7 Citra MMJ Android 3DS

Free Emulator 2024-05-07 | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey for the Nintendo 3DS / 2DS emulation gameplay on the Google Pixel 7 (not the Pro model) Android phone via the Citra MMJ emulator (2023-12-22 release).
http://www.freeemulator.com/nintendo-3ds-emulators

Citra MMJ emulator github page: github.com/weihuoya/citra

I decided to upgrade to a Google Pixel 7 and figured I would see how well it handles video game emulation. For 3DS games, I am testing them first at 2x resolution, which actually looks really nice and crisp on the phone's display.

The Citra MMJ emulator is branch of the popular Citra emulator. It works a bit better on Android devices than the official builds. However, at the time of testing, a lot of games freeze/crash (both with MMJ and the official Citra releases) when playing on Android.

I am using a PS4 controller connected via Bluetooth with this emulator. For games that require you to use a touch screen, you can just touch your actual screen too.

I am using the phone's built-in video screen recorder. Note that it can have a small impact on performance, so if a game appears slightly jerky but the FPS remains solid, it typically plays smooth as butter on the phone when not recording.

GOOGLE PIXEL 7 SPECS:
- 6.3-inch OLED / 20:9 aspect ratio / Up to 90Hz screen
- Google Tensor G2 CPU
- Mali-G710 MP7 GPU
- 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM
- 128 GB or 256 GB UFS 3.1 storage
- October 13, 2022 street release date

See all of our Google Pixel 7 emulation gameplay videos here:
youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqTxux-zjFRO47ffNrC0ixA6WCSdd9viq

------------------

I left most of the Citra MMJ emulator settings at their defaults, but here are some settings to note:

RENDERER
- Use Dual Core [x]
- Screen Layout: Default
- Internal Resolution: 2x
- Show FPS [x]
- Enable Hardware Shader [x]
- Shader Type: Separate Shader (Unstable) -- Try this or Normal Shader with Cache

SYSTEM
- Enable CPU JIT [x]

You can map the controller by tapping the 3 dots in the top-right corner of the emulator and then tap on "Input Binding."

Roms need to be decrypted in order to play them with this emulator. You'll need to use Google or search here on YouTube for more about that. Please don't ask for roms!

Free Emulator 2024-05-05 | Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk running on a Windows 10 PC via the RPCS3 0.0.31-16375 PS3 emulator at 4K / UHD. Download the latest version of the emulator here: rpcs3.net
http://www.freeemulator.com/playstation-3-emulators

RPCS3 is currently available on Windows, Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD operating systems.

---------

As I have done for other consoles, I decided to start a project to test out every English PS3 physically released/retail disc games (mainly focusing on NTSC-U region, but I will be testing other region's exclusive games as long as they are in English and perhaps a few others not in English if they are highly regarded and seem interesting to me). I will be testing games in alphabetical order. I will be rendering the games in 4K (some games at lower resolution if they run poorly at 4K on my PC) via the RPCS3 emulator. The PS3 is one of my favorite consoles, so I am stoked to do this project!

Note that at this time not all PS3 games are compatible with the RPCS3 emulator, but the awesome RPCS3 devs are constantly working to make more games playable.

MY PC SPECS:

- AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU (24,689 multithread / 3,286 single thread PassMark score)
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB Graphics Card
- 32GB DDR4 3600MHz (PC4-28800) CL18 Desktop Memory
- SSD storage (NVMe)
- Windows 10 (I tried Windows 11 shortly after it released and found it to be too buggy for what I mostly do on PC, so I reverted back to Windows 10)

---------

For my standard testing, I only change around a few of the emulator's default settings. Here's what I do:

- Settings / GPU
Resolution Scale (Disable Strict Mode): 300% (3840x2160) -- i.e. 4K rendering
Output Scaling: FidelityFX Super Resolution (I leave the RCAS Sharpening Strength at the default 50%)
Vsync: Checked/on

- Settings / Advanced
Exclusive Fullscreen Mode: Prefer exclusive fullscreen (I get more stutters if it is set to borderless)

- Settings / Emulator
Show PPU compilation hint: Unchecked/off (I just don't like it popping up on the screen)
Show shader compilation hint: Unchecked/off (same reason as above)

Some games require more adjustments to get them to work. See my comment for this video for the details.

Tork: Prehistoric Punk (4K / 2160p / 60fps) | xemu Microsoft Xbox Emulator

Free Emulator 2024-05-04 | Tork "Only on Xbox" running at 4K resolution on a Windows 10 64-bit PC via the xemu original Xbox emulator version 0.7.120. Official xemu site: https://xemu.app/
http://www.freeemulator.com/xbox-emulators

xemu is currently available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Flatpak, and Ubuntu PPA operating systems.

Note that at this time not all Xbox games are compatible with the xemu emulator, but the awesome xemu devs are constantly working to make more games playable. Here's the official compatibility list: https://xemu.app/#compatibility

---------

My PC specs:

- AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU (24,689 multithread / 3,286 single thread PassMark score)
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB Graphics Card
- 32GB DDR4 3600MHz (PC4-28800) CL18 Desktop Memory
- SSD storage (NVMe)
- Windows 10 (I tried Windows 11 shortly after it released and found it to be too buggy for what I mostly do on PC, so I reverted back to Windows 10)

---------

xemu setup and settings:

If a setting isn't mentioned below, assume I left it at its default.

Also note that with my PC (Windows 10), I usually run my 4K monitor at 300% "Scale and layout" from within the operating system's "Display" settings. However, that causes xemu's upscaling to not work properly... but setting it back to 100% makes everything work as it should.

For the initial setup of xemu, you need the following files (Google for them or watch other videos here on YouTube if you need them):

SETTINGS - SYSTEM

-MCPX Boot ROM: mcpx_1.0.bin
-Flash ROM (BIOS): Complex_4627.bin or Complex_4627v1.03.bin (I believe either will work)
-Hard Disk: You can use the default one if you don't want to be able to boot into the original MS dashboard (more on that below)
-EEPROM: eeprom.bin

NOTE: To enable native 16:9 widescreen support, you need to be able to boot into the official Microsoft dashboard via xemu, which involves booting into a replacement dashboard using the dashboard's .iso file, then FTP'ing the official dashboard, and tweaking a few settings. You can get started with that here: https://xemu.app/docs/ftp/ -- You will likely need to search YouTube for how to do this whole process as it can be a bit confusing/complex. I believe you can also make adjustments to the eeprom.bin file, but I didn't mess with that myself.

SETTINGS - INPUT

I am using an official Xbox One controller connected to my PC via USB. The emulator automatically detects and maps all of the buttons with this setup.

SETTINGS - DISPLAY

-Internal resolution scale: I have found this to be dependent on the game. Some games will run at full speed for me when I render them in 4K (i.e. 6x), others struggle at 1x or 2x, and yet others somewhere in-between. You'll have to play around with this setting to see what works best for your setup on a game-by-game basis.
-Vertical refresh sync: On
-UI sacle: 2x (I like it at 2x better than 1x, but try out both and see what suits you).
-Display mode: Scale (should be the default, but I don't remember exactly).
-Aspect ratio: 4:3 for games that do not support native 16:9 and 16:9 for games that natively support it (assuming you have it enabled with the official MS dashboard).

SETTINGS - NETWORK

In order to be able to FTP files over to setup the official dashboard (search on YouTube for how to do this if you want the official MS dashboard), you'll need to setup the adapter here so it is enabled, attached to NAT, and port forwarding to something like 2121 host port, 21 guest port, and TCP protocol.

Also note that with my PC (Windows 10), I usually run my 4K monitor at 300% "Scale and layout" from within the operating system's "Display" settings. However, that causes xemu's upscaling to not work properly... but setting it back to 100% makes everything work as it should.

For the initial setup of xemu, you need the following files (Google for them or watch other videos here on YouTube if you need them):

SETTINGS - SYSTEM

-MCPX Boot ROM: mcpx_1.0.bin
-Flash ROM (BIOS): Complex_4627.bin or Complex_4627v1.03.bin (I believe either will work)
-Hard Disk: You can use the default one if you don't want to be able to boot into the original MS dashboard (more on that below)
-EEPROM: eeprom.bin

NOTE: To enable native 16:9 widescreen support, you need to be able to boot into the official Microsoft dashboard via xemu, which involves booting into a replacement dashboard using the dashboard's .iso file, then FTP'ing the official dashboard, and tweaking a few settings. You can get started with that here: https://xemu.app/docs/ftp/ -- You will likely need to search YouTube for how to do this whole process as it can be a bit confusing/complex. I believe you can also make adjustments to the eeprom.bin file, but I didn't mess with that myself.

SETTINGS - INPUT

I am using an official Xbox One controller connected to my PC via USB. The emulator automatically detects and maps all of the buttons with this setup.

SETTINGS - DISPLAY

-Internal resolution scale: I have found this to be dependent on the game. Some games will run at full speed for me when I render them in 4K (i.e. 6x), others struggle at 1x or 2x, and yet others somewhere in-between. You'll have to play around with this setting to see what works best for your setup on a game-by-game basis.
-Vertical refresh sync: On
-UI sacle: 2x (I like it at 2x better than 1x, but try out both and see what suits you).
-Display mode: Scale (should be the default, but I don't remember exactly).
-Aspect ratio: 4:3 for games that do not support native 16:9 and 16:9 for games that natively support it (assuming you have it enabled with the official MS dashboard).

SETTINGS - NETWORK

In order to be able to FTP files over to setup the official dashboard (search on YouTube for how to do this if you want the official MS dashboard), you'll need to setup the adapter here so it is enabled, attached to NAT, and port forwarding to something like 2121 host port, 21 guest port, and TCP protocol.

Alien Hominid on Google Pixel 7 | Dolphin Emulator (Android) Nintendo GameCube

Free Emulator 2024-04-27 | Alien Hominid for the Nintendo GameCube emulation gameplay on the Google Pixel 7 (not the Pro model) Android phone via the Dolphin 5.0 emulator (dev build 21401).
http://www.freeemulator.com/dolphin-emulator

Official Dolphin emulator website: dolphin-emu.org

I decided to upgrade to a Google Pixel 7 and figured I would see how well it handles video game emulation. It seems to run a lot of GameCube and Wii games pretty well at 2x resolution, which actually looks really nice and crisp on the phone's display.

For GameCube games, I am using a real GameCube controller connected to my phone via an OEM Wii U GameCube controller adapter (I use a USB hub that connects to the phone via a USB C to A adapter... the adapter the phone comes with works fine).

For Wii games, I use a real Wii remote / nunchuck connected to my phone via a Mayflash DolphinBar (requires a USB C to A adapter... the one the phone comes with works fine).

I am using the phone's built-in video screen recorder. Note that it can have a small impact on performance, so if a game appears slightly jerky but the FPS remains solid, it typically plays smooth as butter on the phone when not recording.

GOOGLE PIXEL 7 SPECS:
- 6.3-inch OLED / 20:9 aspect ratio / Up to 90Hz screen
- Google Tensor G2 CPU
- Mali-G710 MP7 GPU
- 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM
- 128 GB or 256 GB UFS 3.1 storage
- October 13, 2022 street release date

Sega Smash Pack Volume 1 (4K / 2160p) | Redream Emulator (Premium) on PC | Sega Dreamcast

Free Emulator 2024-04-26 | Sega Smash Pack Vol. 1 on a Windows 10 PC via the Redream Sega Dreamcast emulator version 1.5.0-1124 (I paid $6 for the premium version, which enables high resolution textures and extra save slots). Download the emulator here: redream.io
http://www.freeemulator.com/sega-dreamcast-emulators

Redream is currently available for Windows, Mac, Android, Linux, and Raspberry Pie. If you purchase the premium version, it gives you access to the premium version across all platforms.

As I have done for other consoles, I decided to start a journey of testing out all compatible Dreamcast games (English based and perhaps a few Japanese exclusives if they are good) with the Redream emulator. I'll be doing the tests on my new PC (specs below) and will be recording/playing them in 4K enhanced resolution. I'm a big fan of the Dreamcast (I still have my childhood console that I saved up and bought myself when I was a kid), so I am very excited to test out a bunch of games on the awesome Redream emulator!

http://www.freeemulator.com/playstation-3-emulators

RPCS3 is currently available on Windows, Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD operating systems.

---------

As I have done for other consoles, I decided to start a project to test out every English PS3 physically released/retail disc games (mainly focusing on NTSC-U region, but I will be testing other region's exclusive games as long as they are in English and perhaps a few others not in English if they are highly regarded and seem interesting to me). I will be testing games in alphabetical order. I will be rendering the games in 4K (some games at lower resolution if they run poorly at 4K on my PC) via the RPCS3 emulator. The PS3 is one of my favorite consoles, so I am stoked to do this project!

Note that at this time not all PS3 games are compatible with the RPCS3 emulator, but the awesome RPCS3 devs are constantly working to make more games playable.

MY PC SPECS:

- AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU (24,689 multithread / 3,286 single thread PassMark score)
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB Graphics Card
- 32GB DDR4 3600MHz (PC4-28800) CL18 Desktop Memory
- SSD storage (NVMe)
- Windows 10 (I tried Windows 11 shortly after it released and found it to be too buggy for what I mostly do on PC, so I reverted back to Windows 10)

---------

For my standard testing, I only change around a few of the emulator's default settings. Here's what I do:

- Settings / GPU
Resolution Scale (Disable Strict Mode): 300% (3840x2160) -- i.e. 4K rendering
Output Scaling: FidelityFX Super Resolution (I leave the RCAS Sharpening Strength at the default 50%)
Vsync: Checked/on

- Settings / Advanced
Exclusive Fullscreen Mode: Prefer exclusive fullscreen (I get more stutters if it is set to borderless)

- Settings / Emulator
Show PPU compilation hint: Unchecked/off (I just don't like it popping up on the screen)
Show shader compilation hint: Unchecked/off (same reason as above)

Some games require more adjustments to get them to work. See my comment for this video for the details.

Sega Rally Championship 2 (4K / 2160p / 60fps) | Redream Emulator (Premium) on PC | Sega Dreamcast

Free Emulator 2024-04-21 | Sega Rally Championship 2 on a Windows 10 PC via the Redream Sega Dreamcast emulator version 1.5.0-1124 (I paid $6 for the premium version, which enables high resolution textures and extra save slots). Download the emulator here: redream.io
http://www.freeemulator.com/sega-dreamcast-emulators

Redream is currently available for Windows, Mac, Android, Linux, and Raspberry Pie. If you purchase the premium version, it gives you access to the premium version across all platforms.

As I have done for other consoles, I decided to start a journey of testing out all compatible Dreamcast games (English based and perhaps a few Japanese exclusives if they are good) with the Redream emulator. I'll be doing the tests on my new PC (specs below) and will be recording/playing them in 4K enhanced resolution. I'm a big fan of the Dreamcast (I still have my childhood console that I saved up and bought myself when I was a kid), so I am very excited to test out a bunch of games on the awesome Redream emulator!

Assassins Creed Rogue (4K / 2160p) | RPCS3 Emulator 0.0.31-16300 | Sony PS3

Free Emulator 2024-04-20 | Assassin's Creed Rogue running on a Windows 10 PC via the RPCS3 0.0.31-16300 PS3 emulator at 4K / UHD. Download the latest version of the emulator here: rpcs3.net
http://www.freeemulator.com/playstation-3-emulators

RPCS3 is currently available on Windows, Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD operating systems.

---------

As I have done for other consoles, I decided to start a project to test out every English PS3 physically released/retail disc games (mainly focusing on NTSC-U region, but I will be testing other region's exclusive games as long as they are in English and perhaps a few others not in English if they are highly regarded and seem interesting to me). I will be testing games in alphabetical order. I will be rendering the games in 4K (some games at lower resolution if they run poorly at 4K on my PC) via the RPCS3 emulator. The PS3 is one of my favorite consoles, so I am stoked to do this project!

Note that at this time not all PS3 games are compatible with the RPCS3 emulator, but the awesome RPCS3 devs are constantly working to make more games playable.

MY PC SPECS:

- AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU (24,689 multithread / 3,286 single thread PassMark score)
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB Graphics Card
- 32GB DDR4 3600MHz (PC4-28800) CL18 Desktop Memory
- SSD storage (NVMe)
- Windows 10 (I tried Windows 11 shortly after it released and found it to be too buggy for what I mostly do on PC, so I reverted back to Windows 10)

---------

For my standard testing, I only change around a few of the emulator's default settings. Here's what I do:

- Settings / GPU
Resolution Scale (Disable Strict Mode): 300% (3840x2160) -- i.e. 4K rendering
Output Scaling: FidelityFX Super Resolution (I leave the RCAS Sharpening Strength at the default 50%)
Vsync: Checked/on

- Settings / Advanced
Exclusive Fullscreen Mode: Prefer exclusive fullscreen (I get more stutters if it is set to borderless)

- Settings / Emulator
Show PPU compilation hint: Unchecked/off (I just don't like it popping up on the screen)
Show shader compilation hint: Unchecked/off (same reason as above)

Some games require more adjustments to get them to work. See my comment for this video for the details.

Xyanide (4K / 2160p / 60fps) | xemu Microsoft Xbox Emulator

Free Emulator 2024-04-19 | Xyanide "Only on Xbox" running at 2x native resolution on a Windows 10 64-bit PC via the xemu original Xbox emulator version 0.7.120. Official xemu site: https://xemu.app/
http://www.freeemulator.com/xbox-emulators

xemu is currently available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Flatpak, and Ubuntu PPA operating systems.

Note that at this time not all Xbox games are compatible with the xemu emulator, but the awesome xemu devs are constantly working to make more games playable. Here's the official compatibility list: https://xemu.app/#compatibility

---------

My PC specs:

- AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU (24,689 multithread / 3,286 single thread PassMark score)
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB Graphics Card
- 32GB DDR4 3600MHz (PC4-28800) CL18 Desktop Memory
- SSD storage (NVMe)
- Windows 10 (I tried Windows 11 shortly after it released and found it to be too buggy for what I mostly do on PC, so I reverted back to Windows 10)

---------

xemu setup and settings:

If a setting isn't mentioned below, assume I left it at its default.

Also note that with my PC (Windows 10), I usually run my 4K monitor at 300% "Scale and layout" from within the operating system's "Display" settings. However, that causes xemu's upscaling to not work properly... but setting it back to 100% makes everything work as it should.

For the initial setup of xemu, you need the following files (Google for them or watch other videos here on YouTube if you need them):

SETTINGS - SYSTEM

-MCPX Boot ROM: mcpx_1.0.bin
-Flash ROM (BIOS): Complex_4627.bin or Complex_4627v1.03.bin (I believe either will work)
-Hard Disk: You can use the default one if you don't want to be able to boot into the original MS dashboard (more on that below)
-EEPROM: eeprom.bin

NOTE: To enable native 16:9 widescreen support, you need to be able to boot into the official Microsoft dashboard via xemu, which involves booting into a replacement dashboard using the dashboard's .iso file, then FTP'ing the official dashboard, and tweaking a few settings. You can get started with that here: https://xemu.app/docs/ftp/ -- You will likely need to search YouTube for how to do this whole process as it can be a bit confusing/complex. I believe you can also make adjustments to the eeprom.bin file, but I didn't mess with that myself.

SETTINGS - INPUT

I am using an official Xbox One controller connected to my PC via USB. The emulator automatically detects and maps all of the buttons with this setup.

SETTINGS - DISPLAY

-Internal resolution scale: I have found this to be dependent on the game. Some games will run at full speed for me when I render them in 4K (i.e. 6x), others struggle at 1x or 2x, and yet others somewhere in-between. You'll have to play around with this setting to see what works best for your setup on a game-by-game basis.
-Vertical refresh sync: On
-UI sacle: 2x (I like it at 2x better than 1x, but try out both and see what suits you).
-Display mode: Scale (should be the default, but I don't remember exactly).
-Aspect ratio: 4:3 for games that do not support native 16:9 and 16:9 for games that natively support it (assuming you have it enabled with the official MS dashboard).

SETTINGS - NETWORK

In order to be able to FTP files over to setup the official dashboard (search on YouTube for how to do this if you want the official MS dashboard), you'll need to setup the adapter here so it is enabled, attached to NAT, and port forwarding to something like 2121 host port, 21 guest port, and TCP protocol.

Poochy & Yoshis Woolly World on Google Pixel 7 | Citra MMJ Emulator (Android) Nintendo 3DS

Free Emulator 2024-04-17 | Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World for the Nintendo 3DS / 2DS emulation gameplay on the Google Pixel 7 (not the Pro model) Android phone via the Citra MMJ emulator (2023-12-22 release).
http://www.freeemulator.com/nintendo-3ds-emulators

Citra MMJ emulator github page: github.com/weihuoya/citra

I decided to upgrade to a Google Pixel 7 and figured I would see how well it handles video game emulation. For 3DS games, I am testing them first at 2x resolution, which actually looks really nice and crisp on the phone's display.

The Citra MMJ emulator is branch of the popular Citra emulator. It works a bit better on Android devices than the official builds. However, at the time of testing, a lot of games freeze/crash (both with MMJ and the official Citra releases) when playing on Android.

I am using a PS4 controller connected via Bluetooth with this emulator. For games that require you to use a touch screen, you can just touch your actual screen too.

I am using the phone's built-in video screen recorder. Note that it can have a small impact on performance, so if a game appears slightly jerky but the FPS remains solid, it typically plays smooth as butter on the phone when not recording.

GOOGLE PIXEL 7 SPECS:
- 6.3-inch OLED / 20:9 aspect ratio / Up to 90Hz screen
- Google Tensor G2 CPU
- Mali-G710 MP7 GPU
- 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM
- 128 GB or 256 GB UFS 3.1 storage
- October 13, 2022 street release date

See all of our Google Pixel 7 emulation gameplay videos here:
youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqTxux-zjFRO47ffNrC0ixA6WCSdd9viq

------------------

I left most of the Citra MMJ emulator settings at their defaults, but here are some settings to note:

RENDERER
- Use Dual Core [x]
- Screen Layout: Default
- Internal Resolution: 2x
- Show FPS [x]
- Enable Hardware Shader [x]
- Shader Type: Separate Shader (Unstable) -- Try this or Normal Shader with Cache

SYSTEM
- Enable CPU JIT [x]

You can map the controller by tapping the 3 dots in the top-right corner of the emulator and then tap on "Input Binding."

Roms need to be decrypted in order to play them with this emulator. You'll need to use Google or search here on YouTube for more about that. Please don't ask for roms!

Blood Will Tell on Google Pixel 7 | AetherSX2 Emulator (Android) Sony PS2

Free Emulator 2024-04-12 | Blood Will Tell for the Sony PS2 / PlayStation 2 emulation gameplay on the Google Pixel 7 (not the Pro model) Android phone via the AetherSX2 emulator (Native Version 1.4-3060).
freeemulator.com/consoles/sony-playstation-2-emulators

Official AetherSX2 emulator website: aethersx2.com

I decided to upgrade to a Google Pixel 7 and figured I would see how well it handles video game emulation. For PS2 games, I am testing them first at 2x resolution, which actually looks really nice and crisp on the phone's display.

I am using a PS4 controller connected via Bluetooth with this emulator.

I am using the phone's built-in video screen recorder. Note that it can have a small impact on performance, so if a game appears slightly jerky but the FPS remains solid, it typically plays smooth as butter on the phone when not recording.

GOOGLE PIXEL 7 SPECS:
- 6.3-inch OLED / 20:9 aspect ratio / Up to 90Hz screen
- Google Tensor G2 CPU
- Mali-G710 MP7 GPU
- 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM
- 128 GB or 256 GB UFS 3.1 storage
- October 13, 2022 street release date

The AetherSX2 emulator is an Android emulator based off the popular PCSX2 emulator.

With AetherSX2 you can play all your favorite PS2 games, such as the Grand Theft Auto series, Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, the Metal Gear Solid series, Okami, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the Ratchet & Clank series, Sly Cooper 2 & 3, Resident Evil 4, God of War, Jak & Daxter, and many, many more!

------------------

I left most of the AetherSX2 emulator settings at their defaults, but here are some settings to note:

APP SETTINGS - GENERAL
- Fast Boot [x]
- Emulation Screen Orientation: Sensor Based

APP SETTINGS - GRAPHICS
- GPU Renderer: Vulkan
- Upscale Multipler: 2x Native
- Everything else was unchanged

APP SETTINGS - BIOS

Sega GT (4K / 2160p) | Redream Emulator (Premium) on PC | Sega Dreamcast

Free Emulator 2024-04-11 | Sega GT on a Windows 10 PC via the Redream Sega Dreamcast emulator version 1.5.0-1124 (I paid $6 for the premium version, which enables high resolution textures and extra save slots). Download the emulator here: redream.io
http://www.freeemulator.com/sega-dreamcast-emulators

Redream is currently available for Windows, Mac, Android, Linux, and Raspberry Pie. If you purchase the premium version, it gives you access to the premium version across all platforms.

As I have done for other consoles, I decided to start a journey of testing out all compatible Dreamcast games (English based and perhaps a few Japanese exclusives if they are good) with the Redream emulator. I'll be doing the tests on my new PC (specs below) and will be recording/playing them in 4K enhanced resolution. I'm a big fan of the Dreamcast (I still have my childhood console that I saved up and bought myself when I was a kid), so I am very excited to test out a bunch of games on the awesome Redream emulator!

Assassins Creed: Brotherhood (4K / 2160p) | RPCS3 Emulator 0.0.31-16277 | Sony PS3

Free Emulator 2024-04-10 | Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood running on a Windows 10 PC via the RPCS3 0.0.31-16277 PS3 emulator at 4K / UHD. Download the latest version of the emulator here: rpcs3.net
http://www.freeemulator.com/playstation-3-emulators

RPCS3 is currently available on Windows, Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD operating systems.

---------

As I have done for other consoles, I decided to start a project to test out every English PS3 physically released/retail disc games (mainly focusing on NTSC-U region, but I will be testing other region's exclusive games as long as they are in English and perhaps a few others not in English if they are highly regarded and seem interesting to me). I will be testing games in alphabetical order. I will be rendering the games in 4K (some games at lower resolution if they run poorly at 4K on my PC) via the RPCS3 emulator. The PS3 is one of my favorite consoles, so I am stoked to do this project!

Note that at this time not all PS3 games are compatible with the RPCS3 emulator, but the awesome RPCS3 devs are constantly working to make more games playable.

MY PC SPECS:

- AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU (24,689 multithread / 3,286 single thread PassMark score)
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB Graphics Card
- 32GB DDR4 3600MHz (PC4-28800) CL18 Desktop Memory
- SSD storage (NVMe)
- Windows 10 (I tried Windows 11 shortly after it released and found it to be too buggy for what I mostly do on PC, so I reverted back to Windows 10)

---------

For my standard testing, I only change around a few of the emulator's default settings. Here's what I do:

- Settings / GPU
Resolution Scale (Disable Strict Mode): 300% (3840x2160) -- i.e. 4K rendering
Output Scaling: FidelityFX Super Resolution (I leave the RCAS Sharpening Strength at the default 50%)
Vsync: Checked/on

- Settings / Advanced
Exclusive Fullscreen Mode: Prefer exclusive fullscreen (I get more stutters if it is set to borderless)

- Settings / Emulator
Show PPU compilation hint: Unchecked/off (I just don't like it popping up on the screen)
Show shader compilation hint: Unchecked/off (same reason as above)

Some games require more adjustments to get them to work. See my comment for this video for the details.

Kung Fu Chaos | xemu Microsoft Xbox Emulator

Free Emulator 2024-04-09 | Kung Fu Chaos "Only on Xbox" running at 2x native resolution on a Windows 10 64-bit PC via the xemu original Xbox emulator version 0.7.120. Official xemu site: https://xemu.app/
http://www.freeemulator.com/xbox-emulators

xemu is currently available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Flatpak, and Ubuntu PPA operating systems.

Note that at this time not all Xbox games are compatible with the xemu emulator, but the awesome xemu devs are constantly working to make more games playable. Here's the official compatibility list: https://xemu.app/#compatibility

---------

My PC specs:

- AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU (24,689 multithread / 3,286 single thread PassMark score)
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB Graphics Card
- 32GB DDR4 3600MHz (PC4-28800) CL18 Desktop Memory
- SSD storage (NVMe)
- Windows 10 (I tried Windows 11 shortly after it released and found it to be too buggy for what I mostly do on PC, so I reverted back to Windows 10)

---------

xemu setup and settings:

If a setting isn't mentioned below, assume I left it at its default.

Also note that with my PC (Windows 10), I usually run my 4K monitor at 300% "Scale and layout" from within the operating system's "Display" settings. However, that causes xemu's upscaling to not work properly... but setting it back to 100% makes everything work as it should.

For the initial setup of xemu, you need the following files (Google for them or watch other videos here on YouTube if you need them):

SETTINGS - SYSTEM

-MCPX Boot ROM: mcpx_1.0.bin
-Flash ROM (BIOS): Complex_4627.bin or Complex_4627v1.03.bin (I believe either will work)
-Hard Disk: You can use the default one if you don't want to be able to boot into the original MS dashboard (more on that below)
-EEPROM: eeprom.bin

NOTE: To enable native 16:9 widescreen support, you need to be able to boot into the official Microsoft dashboard via xemu, which involves booting into a replacement dashboard using the dashboard's .iso file, then FTP'ing the official dashboard, and tweaking a few settings. You can get started with that here: https://xemu.app/docs/ftp/ -- You will likely need to search YouTube for how to do this whole process as it can be a bit confusing/complex. I believe you can also make adjustments to the eeprom.bin file, but I didn't mess with that myself.

SETTINGS - INPUT

I am using an official Xbox One controller connected to my PC via USB. The emulator automatically detects and maps all of the buttons with this setup.

SETTINGS - DISPLAY

-Internal resolution scale: I have found this to be dependent on the game. Some games will run at full speed for me when I render them in 4K (i.e. 6x), others struggle at 1x or 2x, and yet others somewhere in-between. You'll have to play around with this setting to see what works best for your setup on a game-by-game basis.
-Vertical refresh sync: On
-UI sacle: 2x (I like it at 2x better than 1x, but try out both and see what suits you).
-Display mode: Scale (should be the default, but I don't remember exactly).
-Aspect ratio: 4:3 for games that do not support native 16:9 and 16:9 for games that natively support it (assuming you have it enabled with the official MS dashboard).

SETTINGS - NETWORK

In order to be able to FTP files over to setup the official dashboard (search on YouTube for how to do this if you want the official MS dashboard), you'll need to setup the adapter here so it is enabled, attached to NAT, and port forwarding to something like 2121 host port, 21 guest port, and TCP protocol.

Free Emulator 2024-04-04 | Galleon "Only on Xbox" running at 6x resolution on a Windows 10 64-bit PC via the xemu original Xbox emulator version 0.7.120. Official xemu site: https://xemu.app/
http://www.freeemulator.com/xbox-emulators

xemu is currently available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Flatpak, and Ubuntu PPA operating systems.

Note that at this time not all Xbox games are compatible with the xemu emulator, but the awesome xemu devs are constantly working to make more games playable. Here's the official compatibility list: https://xemu.app/#compatibility

---------

My PC specs:

- AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU (24,689 multithread / 3,286 single thread PassMark score)
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB Graphics Card
- 32GB DDR4 3600MHz (PC4-28800) CL18 Desktop Memory
- SSD storage (NVMe)
- Windows 10 (I tried Windows 11 shortly after it released and found it to be too buggy for what I mostly do on PC, so I reverted back to Windows 10)

---------

xemu setup and settings:

If a setting isn't mentioned below, assume I left it at its default.

Also note that with my PC (Windows 10), I usually run my 4K monitor at 300% "Scale and layout" from within the operating system's "Display" settings. However, that causes xemu's upscaling to not work properly... but setting it back to 100% makes everything work as it should.

For the initial setup of xemu, you need the following files (Google for them or watch other videos here on YouTube if you need them):

SETTINGS - SYSTEM

-MCPX Boot ROM: mcpx_1.0.bin
-Flash ROM (BIOS): Complex_4627.bin or Complex_4627v1.03.bin (I believe either will work)
-Hard Disk: You can use the default one if you don't want to be able to boot into the original MS dashboard (more on that below)
-EEPROM: eeprom.bin

NOTE: To enable native 16:9 widescreen support, you need to be able to boot into the official Microsoft dashboard via xemu, which involves booting into a replacement dashboard using the dashboard's .iso file, then FTP'ing the official dashboard, and tweaking a few settings. You can get started with that here: https://xemu.app/docs/ftp/ -- You will likely need to search YouTube for how to do this whole process as it can be a bit confusing/complex. I believe you can also make adjustments to the eeprom.bin file, but I didn't mess with that myself.

SETTINGS - INPUT

I am using an official Xbox One controller connected to my PC via USB. The emulator automatically detects and maps all of the buttons with this setup.

SETTINGS - DISPLAY

-Internal resolution scale: I have found this to be dependent on the game. Some games will run at full speed for me when I render them in 4K (i.e. 6x), others struggle at 1x or 2x, and yet others somewhere in-between. You'll have to play around with this setting to see what works best for your setup on a game-by-game basis.
-Vertical refresh sync: On
-UI sacle: 2x (I like it at 2x better than 1x, but try out both and see what suits you).
-Display mode: Scale (should be the default, but I don't remember exactly).
-Aspect ratio: 4:3 for games that do not support native 16:9 and 16:9 for games that natively support it (assuming you have it enabled with the official MS dashboard).

SETTINGS - NETWORK

In order to be able to FTP files over to setup the official dashboard (search on YouTube for how to do this if you want the official MS dashboard), you'll need to setup the adapter here so it is enabled, attached to NAT, and port forwarding to something like 2121 host port, 21 guest port, and TCP protocol.

Wii Play on Google Pixel 7 | Dolphin Emulator (Android) Nintendo Wii

Free Emulator 2024-04-02 | Wii Play for the Nintendo Wii emulation gameplay on the Google Pixel 7 (not the Pro model) Android phone via the Dolphin 5.0 emulator (dev build 21261).
http://www.freeemulator.com/dolphin-emulator

Official Dolphin emulator website: dolphin-emu.org

I decided to upgrade to a Google Pixel 7 and figured I would see how well it handles video game emulation. It seems to run GameCube and Wii games pretty well at 2x resolution, which actually looks really nice and crisp on the phone's display.

For GameCube games, I am using a real GameCube controller connected to my phone via an OEM Wii U GameCube controller adapter (I use a USB hub that connects to the phone via a USB C to A adapter... the adapter the phone comes with works fine).

For Wii games, I use a real Wii remote / nunchuck connected to my phone via a Mayflash DolphinBar (requires a USB C to A adapter... the one the phone comes with works fine).

I am using the phone's built-in video screen recorder. Note that it can have a small impact on performance, so if a game appears slightly jerky but the FPS remains solid, it typically plays smooth as butter on the phone when not recording.

GOOGLE PIXEL 7 SPECS:
- 6.3-inch OLED / 20:9 aspect ratio / Up to 90Hz screen
- Google Tensor G2 CPU
- Mali-G710 MP7 GPU
- 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM
- 128 GB or 256 GB UFS 3.1 storage
- October 13, 2022 street release date

Redream is currently available for Windows, Mac, Android, Linux, and Raspberry Pie. If you purchase the premium version, it gives you access to the premium version across all platforms.

As I have done for other consoles, I decided to start a journey of testing out all compatible Dreamcast games (English based and perhaps a few Japanese exclusives if they are good) with the Redream emulator. I'll be doing the tests on my new PC (specs below) and will be recording/playing them in 4K enhanced resolution. I'm a big fan of the Dreamcast (I still have my childhood console that I saved up and bought myself when I was a kid), so I am very excited to test out a bunch of games on the awesome Redream emulator!

http://www.freeemulator.com/playstation-3-emulators

RPCS3 is currently available on Windows, Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD operating systems.

---------

As I have done for other consoles, I decided to start a project to test out every English PS3 physically released/retail disc games (mainly focusing on NTSC-U region, but I will be testing other region's exclusive games as long as they are in English and perhaps a few others not in English if they are highly regarded and seem interesting to me). I will be testing games in alphabetical order. I will be rendering the games in 4K (some games at lower resolution if they run poorly at 4K on my PC) via the RPCS3 emulator. The PS3 is one of my favorite consoles, so I am stoked to do this project!

Note that at this time not all PS3 games are compatible with the RPCS3 emulator, but the awesome RPCS3 devs are constantly working to make more games playable.

Yo-kai Watch Blasters: Red Cat Corps on Google Pixel 7 | Citra MMJ Emulator (Android) Nintendo 3DS

http://www.freeemulator.com/nintendo-3ds-emulators

Citra MMJ emulator github page: github.com/weihuoya/citra

I decided to upgrade to a Google Pixel 7 and figured I would see how well it handles video game emulation. For 3DS games, I am testing them first at 2x resolution, which actually looks really nice and crisp on the phone's display.

The Citra MMJ emulator is branch of the popular Citra emulator. It works a bit better on Android devices than the official builds. However, at the time of testing, a lot of games freeze/crash (both with MMJ and the official Citra releases) when playing on Android.

I am using a PS4 controller connected via Bluetooth with this emulator. For games that require you to use a touch screen, you can just touch your actual screen too.

I am using the phone's built-in video screen recorder. Note that it can have a small impact on performance, so if a game appears slightly jerky but the FPS remains solid, it typically plays smooth as butter on the phone when not recording.

GOOGLE PIXEL 7 SPECS:

- 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM

RENDERER
- Use Dual Core [x]
- Screen Layout: Default
- Internal Resolution: 2x
- Show FPS [x]
- Enable Hardware Shader [x]
- Shader Type: Separate Shader (Unstable) -- Try this or Normal Shader with Cache

SYSTEM
- Enable CPU JIT [x]

You can map the controller by tapping the 3 dots in the top-right corner of the emulator and then tap on "Input Binding."

Roms need to be decrypted in order to play them with this emulator. You'll need to use Google or search here on YouTube for more about that. Please don't ask for roms!

Show shader compilation hint: Unchecked/off (same reason as above)

Some games require more adjustments to get them to work. See my comment for this video for the details.

Breakdown | xemu Microsoft Xbox Emulator

Free Emulator 2024-03-25 | Breakdown "Only on Xbox" running at native resolution (1x) on a Windows 10 64-bit PC via the xemu original Xbox emulator version 0.7.119. Official xemu site: https://xemu.app/
http://www.freeemulator.com/xbox-emulators

xemu is currently available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Flatpak, and Ubuntu PPA operating systems.

Note that at this time not all Xbox games are compatible with the xemu emulator, but the awesome xemu devs are constantly working to make more games playable. Here's the official compatibility list: https://xemu.app/#compatibility

---------

My PC specs:

- AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU (24,689 multithread / 3,286 single thread PassMark score)
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB Graphics Card
- 32GB DDR4 3600MHz (PC4-28800) CL18 Desktop Memory
- SSD storage (NVMe)
- Windows 10 (I tried Windows 11 shortly after it released and found it to be too buggy for what I mostly do on PC, so I reverted back to Windows 10)

---------

xemu setup and settings:

If a setting isn't mentioned below, assume I left it at its default.

Also note that with my PC (Windows 10), I usually run my 4K monitor at 300% "Scale and layout" from within the operating system's "Display" settings. However, that causes xemu's upscaling to not work properly... but setting it back to 100% makes everything work as it should.

For the initial setup of xemu, you need the following files (Google for them or watch other videos here on YouTube if you need them):

SETTINGS - SYSTEM

-MCPX Boot ROM: mcpx_1.0.bin
-Flash ROM (BIOS): Complex_4627.bin or Complex_4627v1.03.bin (I believe either will work)
-Hard Disk: You can use the default one if you don't want to be able to boot into the original MS dashboard (more on that below)
-EEPROM: eeprom.bin

NOTE: To enable native 16:9 widescreen support, you need to be able to boot into the official Microsoft dashboard via xemu, which involves booting into a replacement dashboard using the dashboard's .iso file, then FTP'ing the official dashboard, and tweaking a few settings. You can get started with that here: https://xemu.app/docs/ftp/ -- You will likely need to search YouTube for how to do this whole process as it can be a bit confusing/complex. I believe you can also make adjustments to the eeprom.bin file, but I didn't mess with that myself.

SETTINGS - INPUT

I am using an official Xbox One controller connected to my PC via USB. The emulator automatically detects and maps all of the buttons with this setup.

SETTINGS - DISPLAY

-Internal resolution scale: I have found this to be dependent on the game. Some games will run at full speed for me when I render them in 4K (i.e. 6x), others struggle at 1x or 2x, and yet others somewhere in-between. You'll have to play around with this setting to see what works best for your setup on a game-by-game basis.
-Vertical refresh sync: On
-UI sacle: 2x (I like it at 2x better than 1x, but try out both and see what suits you).
-Display mode: Scale (should be the default, but I don't remember exactly).
-Aspect ratio: 4:3 for games that do not support native 16:9 and 16:9 for games that natively support it (assuming you have it enabled with the official MS dashboard).

SETTINGS - NETWORK

In order to be able to FTP files over to setup the official dashboard (search on YouTube for how to do this if you want the official MS dashboard), you'll need to setup the adapter here so it is enabled, attached to NAT, and port forwarding to something like 2121 host port, 21 guest port, and TCP protocol.
