Stake: Fortune Fighters (2x Resolution) | xemu Microsoft Xbox Emulator Free Emulator 2024-10-20 | Stake: Fortune Fighters "Only on Xbox" running at 2x native resolution on a Windows 10 64-bit PC via the xemu original Xbox emulator version 0.7.132. Official xemu site: https://xemu.app/http://www.freeemulator.com/xbox-emulatorsxemu 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.binNOTE: 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 - INPUTI 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 - NETWORKIn 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.---------See all of our xemu gameplay videos:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqTxux-zjFROy3ryQYLF-qtKwXo6Zb6Cv---------OUTRO MUSIC:Super Mario World Dubstep ▸ Game Over – Akosmo Remix ~ GameChops Spotlightyoutube.com/watch?v=Lo_S9JT7adM---------With xemu you can play some of your favorite OG Xbox games, such as Halo 1 & 2, Ninja Gaiden Black, Project Gotham Racing 1 & 2, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Max Payne, Tetris Worlds, Dredd vs. Death, Smashing Drive, Bad Boys Miami Takedown, and tons more!http://www.FreeEmulator.com has been serving up the top-rated video game emulators for years.

Here are the main (non-default) settings I use for PCSX2. If a game requires additional settings then they will be noted in the comments of the video and the Google Spreadsheet linked above.- Settings / Emulation[x] Enable Cheats[x] Vertical Sync (VSync)- Settings / GraphicsRenderer: Vulkan -- The PCSX2 docs say to leave this on "Automatic (Default)." However, if your device works with Vulkan than the docs say this is the best/most accurate one to choose.- Settings / Graphics / Display tabFMV Aspect Ratio: Standard (4:3) -- I don't want the videos to be stretched when I use a 16:9/widescreen patch.Deinterlacing: Automatic (Default) -- For now I am leaving this at the default, but some games will require you to tinker with this if the image is shaky or strange looking.[x] Apply Widescreen Patches -- I plan on using widescreen patches for most of my testings--so long as they don't mess things up too much.[x] Apply No-Interlacing Patches -- I'd rather the games run in progressive mode. However, sometimes these patches can cause issues so I might not have this setting enabled for specific games.- Settings / Graphics / Rendering tabInternal Resolution: 6x Native (~2160px/4K UHD) -- Here's where you get the enhanced graphics. Changing this above native resolution can cause some games to have graphical glitches. If you experience glitches in games you are playing, keep lowering the resolution one step at a time until they (hopefully) go away.- Settings / Graphics / Texture ReplacementThere is an active community on gbatemp that creates texture packs for a small amount of games (mostly the popular ones). If you have such a pack, place them in the directory shown on this tab and enable check "Load Textures." I will be testing out texture packs when available.Here's the link to the texture pack group: gbatemp.net/forums/pcsx2-hd-texture-pack-group.549- Settings / Graphics / Post-ProcessingContrast Adaptive Sharpening: Sharpen and Resize (Display Resolution) with Sharpness at 50%.[x] FXAA- Settings / Graphics / OSD[ ] Unchecked Show OSD Messages -- This is just a personal preference as I'd rather not have messages pop up on my screen from the emulator.That's it to start this projet with. I might be making adjustments to these settings in the future as I get more familiar with PCSX2 version 2.---------OUTRO MUSIC:Super Mario World Dubstep ▸ Game Over – Akosmo Remix ~ GameChops Spotlightyoutube.com/watch?v=Lo_S9JT7adM------------http://www.FreeEmulator.com has been serving up the top-rated video game emulators for years.

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 dateSee all of our Google Pixel 7 emulation gameplay videos here:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqTxux-zjFRO47ffNrC0ixA6WCSdd9viqThe Dolphin emulator is officially available for Windows, Mac, Android, and Linux.With Dolphin you can play the best GameCube games, such as Metroid Prime 1 & 2, Resident Evil 4, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, SoulCalibur II, SSX 3, Madden NFL 2004, Super Mario Sunshine, Viewtiful Joe, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Super Smash Bros.

Here are the main (non-default) settings I use for PCSX2. If a game requires additional settings then they will be noted in the comments of the video and the Google Spreadsheet linked above.- Settings / Emulation[x] Enable Cheats[x] Vertical Sync (VSync)- Settings / GraphicsRenderer: Vulkan -- The PCSX2 docs say to leave this on "Automatic (Default)." However, if your device works with Vulkan than the docs say this is the best/most accurate one to choose.- Settings / Graphics / Display tabFMV Aspect Ratio: Standard (4:3) -- I don't want the videos to be stretched when I use a 16:9/widescreen patch.Deinterlacing: Automatic (Default) -- For now I am leaving this at the default, but some games will require you to tinker with this if the image is shaky or strange looking.[x] Apply Widescreen Patches -- I plan on using widescreen patches for most of my testings--so long as they don't mess things up too much.[x] Apply No-Interlacing Patches -- I'd rather the games run in progressive mode. However, sometimes these patches can cause issues so I might not have this setting enabled for specific games.- Settings / Graphics / Rendering tabInternal Resolution: 6x Native (~2160px/4K UHD) -- Here's where you get the enhanced graphics. Changing this above native resolution can cause some games to have graphical glitches. If you experience glitches in games you are playing, keep lowering the resolution one step at a time until they (hopefully) go away.- Settings / Graphics / Texture ReplacementThere is an active community on gbatemp that creates texture packs for a small amount of games (mostly the popular ones). If you have such a pack, place them in the directory shown on this tab and enable check "Load Textures." I will be testing out texture packs when available.Here's the link to the texture pack group: gbatemp.net/forums/pcsx2-hd-texture-pack-group.549- Settings / Graphics / Post-ProcessingContrast Adaptive Sharpening: Sharpen and Resize (Display Resolution) with Sharpness at 50%.[x] FXAA- Settings / Graphics / OSD[ ] Unchecked Show OSD Messages -- This is just a personal preference as I'd rather not have messages pop up on my screen from the emulator.That's it to start this projet with.

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 dateSee all of our Google Pixel 7 emulation gameplay videos here:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqTxux-zjFRO47ffNrC0ixA6WCSdd9viqThe Dolphin emulator is officially available for Windows, Mac, Android, and Linux.With Dolphin you can play the best Wii games, such as Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Smash Bros.

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.binNOTE: 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 - INPUTI am using an official Xbox One controller connected to my PC via USB.

River City: Tokyo Rumble on Google Pixel 7 | Citra MMJ Emulator (Android) Nintendo 3DS Free Emulator 2024-10-05 | River City: Tokyo Rumble for the Nintendo 3DS / 2DS emulation gameplay on the Google Pixel 7 (not the Pro model) Android phone via the Citra MMJ emulator (2024-05-20 release).http://www.freeemulator.com/nintendo-3ds-emulatorsCitra MMJ emulator github page: github.com/weihuoya/citraI 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 dateSee 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 CacheSYSTEM- 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.

World Racing (4K / 2160p) | xemu Microsoft Xbox Emulator Free Emulator 2024-10-02 | World Racing "Only on Xbox" running at 6x native resolution (4K) on a Windows 10 64-bit PC via the xemu original Xbox emulator version 0.7.132. Official xemu site: https://xemu.app/http://www.freeemulator.com/xbox-emulatorsxemu 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.binNOTE: 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 - INPUTI 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 - NETWORKIn 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.---------See all of our xemu gameplay videos:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqTxux-zjFROy3ryQYLF-qtKwXo6Zb6Cv---------OUTRO MUSIC:Super Mario World Dubstep ▸ Game Over – Akosmo Remix ~ GameChops Spotlightyoutube.com/watch?v=Lo_S9JT7adM---------With xemu you can play some of your favorite OG Xbox games, such as Halo 1 & 2, Ninja Gaiden Black, Project Gotham Racing 1 & 2, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Max Payne, Tetris Worlds, Dredd vs. Death, Smashing Drive, Bad Boys Miami Takedown, and tons more!http://www.FreeEmulator.com has been serving up the top-rated video game emulators for years.

Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball (4K / 2160p / 30fps) | xemu Microsoft Xbox Emulator Free Emulator 2024-09-26 | Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball "Only on Xbox" running at 6x native resolution (4K) on a Windows 10 64-bit PC via the xemu original Xbox emulator version 0.7.132. Official xemu site: https://xemu.app/http://www.freeemulator.com/xbox-emulatorsxemu 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.binNOTE: 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 - INPUTI 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 - NETWORKIn 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.---------See all of our xemu gameplay videos:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqTxux-zjFROy3ryQYLF-qtKwXo6Zb6Cv---------OUTRO MUSIC:Super Mario World Dubstep ▸ Game Over – Akosmo Remix ~ GameChops Spotlightyoutube.com/watch?v=Lo_S9JT7adM---------With xemu you can play some of your favorite OG Xbox games, such as Halo 1 & 2, Ninja Gaiden Black, Project Gotham Racing 1 & 2, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Max Payne, Tetris Worlds, Dredd vs. Death, Smashing Drive, Bad Boys Miami Takedown, and tons more!http://www.FreeEmulator.com has been serving up the top-rated video game emulators for years.

Here are the main (non-default) settings I use for PCSX2. If a game requires additional settings then they will be noted in the comments of the video and the Google Spreadsheet linked above.- Settings / Emulation[x] Enable Cheats[x] Vertical Sync (VSync)- Settings / GraphicsRenderer: Vulkan -- The PCSX2 docs say to leave this on "Automatic (Default)." However, if your device works with Vulkan than the docs say this is the best/most accurate one to choose.- Settings / Graphics / Display tabFMV Aspect Ratio: Standard (4:3) -- I don't want the videos to be stretched when I use a 16:9/widescreen patch.Deinterlacing: Automatic (Default) -- For now I am leaving this at the default, but some games will require you to tinker with this if the image is shaky or strange looking.[x] Apply Widescreen Patches -- I plan on using widescreen patches for most of my testings--so long as they don't mess things up too much.[x] Apply No-Interlacing Patches -- I'd rather the games run in progressive mode. However, sometimes these patches can cause issues so I might not have this setting enabled for specific games.- Settings / Graphics / Rendering tabInternal Resolution: 6x Native (~2160px/4K UHD) -- Here's where you get the enhanced graphics. Changing this above native resolution can cause some games to have graphical glitches. If you experience glitches in games you are playing, keep lowering the resolution one step at a time until they (hopefully) go away.- Settings / Graphics / Texture ReplacementThere is an active community on gbatemp that creates texture packs for a small amount of games (mostly the popular ones). If you have such a pack, place them in the directory shown on this tab and enable check "Load Textures." I will be testing out texture packs when available.Here's the link to the texture pack group: gbatemp.net/forums/pcsx2-hd-texture-pack-group.549- Settings / Graphics / Post-ProcessingContrast Adaptive Sharpening: Sharpen and Resize (Display Resolution) with Sharpness at 50%.[x] FXAA- Settings / Graphics / OSD[ ] Unchecked Show OSD Messages -- This is just a personal preference as I'd rather not have messages pop up on my screen from the emulator.That's it to start this projet with. I might be making adjustments to these settings in the future as I get more familiar with PCSX2 version 2.---------OUTRO MUSIC:Super Mario World Dubstep ▸ Game Over – Akosmo Remix ~ GameChops Spotlightyoutube.com/watch?v=Lo_S9JT7adM------------http://www.FreeEmulator.com has been serving up the top-rated video game emulators for years.

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 dateSee all of our Google Pixel 7 emulation gameplay videos here:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqTxux-zjFRO47ffNrC0ixA6WCSdd9viqThe Dolphin emulator is officially available for Windows, Mac, Android, and Linux.With Dolphin you can play the best GameCube games, such as Metroid Prime 1 & 2, Resident Evil 4, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, SoulCalibur II, SSX 3, Madden NFL 2004, Super Mario Sunshine, Viewtiful Joe, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Super Smash Bros.

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 dateSee all of our Google Pixel 7 emulation gameplay videos here:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqTxux-zjFRO47ffNrC0ixA6WCSdd9viqThe Dolphin emulator is officially available for Windows, Mac, Android, and Linux.With Dolphin you can play the best Wii games, such as Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Smash Bros.

Combat: Task Force 121 (5x Resolution / 60fps) | xemu Microsoft Xbox Emulator Free Emulator 2024-09-14 | Combat: Task Force 121 "Only on Xbox" running at 5x native resolution on a Windows 10 64-bit PC via the xemu original Xbox emulator version 0.7.132. Official xemu site: https://xemu.app/http://www.freeemulator.com/xbox-emulatorsxemu 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.binNOTE: 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 - INPUTI 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 - NETWORKIn 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.---------See all of our xemu gameplay videos:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqTxux-zjFROy3ryQYLF-qtKwXo6Zb6Cv---------OUTRO MUSIC:Super Mario World Dubstep ▸ Game Over – Akosmo Remix ~ GameChops Spotlightyoutube.com/watch?v=Lo_S9JT7adM---------With xemu you can play some of your favorite OG Xbox games, such as Halo 1 & 2, Ninja Gaiden Black, Project Gotham Racing 1 & 2, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Max Payne, Tetris Worlds, Dredd vs. Death, Smashing Drive, Bad Boys Miami Takedown, and tons more!http://www.FreeEmulator.com has been serving up the top-rated video game emulators for years.

Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash on Google Pixel 7 | Citra MMJ Emulator (Android) Nintendo 3DS Free Emulator 2024-09-11 | Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash for the Nintendo 3DS / 2DS emulation gameplay on the Google Pixel 7 (not the Pro model) Android phone via the Citra MMJ emulator (2024-05-20 release).http://www.freeemulator.com/nintendo-3ds-emulatorsCitra MMJ emulator github page: github.com/weihuoya/citraI 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 dateSee 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 CacheSYSTEM- 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.

The Wild Rings (JPN) (3x Resolution / 60fps) | xemu Microsoft Xbox Emulator Free Emulator 2024-09-08 | The Wild Rings (Japan) "Only on Xbox" running at 3x native resolution on a Windows 10 64-bit PC via the xemu original Xbox emulator version 0.7.132. Official xemu site: https://xemu.app/http://www.freeemulator.com/xbox-emulatorsxemu 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.binNOTE: 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 - INPUTI 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 - NETWORKIn 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.---------See all of our xemu gameplay videos:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqTxux-zjFROy3ryQYLF-qtKwXo6Zb6Cv---------OUTRO MUSIC:Super Mario World Dubstep ▸ Game Over – Akosmo Remix ~ GameChops Spotlightyoutube.com/watch?v=Lo_S9JT7adM---------With xemu you can play some of your favorite OG Xbox games, such as Halo 1 & 2, Ninja Gaiden Black, Project Gotham Racing 1 & 2, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Max Payne, Tetris Worlds, Dredd vs. Death, Smashing Drive, Bad Boys Miami Takedown, and tons more!http://www.FreeEmulator.com has been serving up the top-rated video game emulators for years.

Here are the main (non-default) settings I use for PCSX2. If a game requires additional settings then they will be noted in the comments of the video and the Google Spreadsheet linked above.- Settings / Emulation[x] Enable Cheats[x] Vertical Sync (VSync)- Settings / GraphicsRenderer: Vulkan -- The PCSX2 docs say to leave this on "Automatic (Default)." However, if your device works with Vulkan than the docs say this is the best/most accurate one to choose.- Settings / Graphics / Display tabFMV Aspect Ratio: Standard (4:3) -- I don't want the videos to be stretched when I use a 16:9/widescreen patch.Deinterlacing: Automatic (Default) -- For now I am leaving this at the default, but some games will require you to tinker with this if the image is shaky or strange looking.[x] Apply Widescreen Patches -- I plan on using widescreen patches for most of my testings--so long as they don't mess things up too much.[x] Apply No-Interlacing Patches -- I'd rather the games run in progressive mode. However, sometimes these patches can cause issues so I might not have this setting enabled for specific games.- Settings / Graphics / Rendering tabInternal Resolution: 6x Native (~2160px/4K UHD) -- Here's where you get the enhanced graphics. Changing this above native resolution can cause some games to have graphical glitches. If you experience glitches in games you are playing, keep lowering the resolution one step at a time until they (hopefully) go away.- Settings / Graphics / Texture ReplacementThere is an active community on gbatemp that creates texture packs for a small amount of games (mostly the popular ones). If you have such a pack, place them in the directory shown on this tab and enable check "Load Textures." I will be testing out texture packs when available.Here's the link to the texture pack group: gbatemp.net/forums/pcsx2-hd-texture-pack-group.549- Settings / Graphics / Post-ProcessingContrast Adaptive Sharpening: Sharpen and Resize (Display Resolution) with Sharpness at 50%.[x] FXAA- Settings / Graphics / OSD[ ] Unchecked Show OSD Messages -- This is just a personal preference as I'd rather not have messages pop up on my screen from the emulator.That's it to start this projet with. I might be making adjustments to these settings in the future as I get more familiar with PCSX2 version 2.---------OUTRO MUSIC:Super Mario World Dubstep ▸ Game Over – Akosmo Remix ~ GameChops Spotlightyoutube.com/watch?v=Lo_S9JT7adM------------http://www.FreeEmulator.com has been serving up the top-rated video game emulators for years.

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.binNOTE: 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 - INPUTI 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 - NETWORKIn 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.---------See all of our xemu gameplay videos:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqTxux-zjFROy3ryQYLF-qtKwXo6Zb6Cv---------OUTRO MUSIC:Super Mario World Dubstep ▸ Game Over – Akosmo Remix ~ GameChops Spotlightyoutube.com/watch?v=Lo_S9JT7adM---------With xemu you can play some of your favorite OG Xbox games, such as Halo 1 & 2, Ninja Gaiden Black, Project Gotham Racing 1 & 2, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Max Payne, Tetris Worlds, Dredd vs. Death, Smashing Drive, Bad Boys Miami Takedown, and tons more!http://www.FreeEmulator.com has been serving up the top-rated video game emulators for years.
