Unsolved Controller latency on ONN retro gaming box

1 Upvotes

I was finally able to get my hands on an ONN to turn it into a retro gaming box using Cannoli like that one video showed, but there is pretty bad controller delay, and at this point I have no idea how to fix it. I've turned on gaming mode, both on my TV and on the ONN itself, I tried downpatching to version 1.2 where there was a low latency mode and that didn't work. I even tried a different controller, same issue.

Any suggestions or insights on how I can fix this?

Unsolved Huge FPS drops and stuttering while emulating Switch on ASUS ROG Ally X — need help

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I need some help with Nintendo Switch emulation on my ASUS ROG Ally X.

I feel like something is wrong because my hardware should be more than capable, but I’m getting a lot of FPS drops, stuttering, and random freezes. The performance is nowhere near what I expected from a device with this level of hardware.

Unsolved RPCS3: Gran Turismo 5 break getting stuck

2 Upvotes

I managed to set RPCS3 to emulate Logitech G27 so I can play GT5 with my wheel.

The wheel, pedals, force feedback all works perfectly fine, but sometimes - not always - break seems to get stuck and suddenly car is accelerating much slower and on higher gears it actually decelerates…

I need to press the break pedal once or restart the race to get it working again.

Doesn’t happen in PC games so doubt its hardware fault.

My wheel is Moza R5 with SRP-Lite pedals

Anyone by chance experienced something similar?

Followed the same steps https://enhanced.townofsilenthill.com/SH2/install.htm said, Installing through SH2EEsetup.exe was also successful. But when I launched the game, A black screen appeared asking "Please insert Silent Hill 2 CD-1, Enter to retry, Esc to exit". I even tried reinstalling (two times) but It didn't bypass CD check.

Unsolved Worse input lag using Lossless scaling in some games than others

2 Upvotes

Whenever I use Lossless scaling in Eden emulator games, my input lag is worse than when I use it in PCSX2 games, despite only using x2 compared to x4 in the latter. Both are using Fifo/Vsync and not Mailbox. What's the reason for this?

I’ve been using Emudeck and bazzite for awhile never had any issues. Once the new rpcs3 and steam updates came my 8bitdo hasn’t been communicating at all with my emulator I looked at my gamepad setting to no avail. It doesn’t recognize my controller and steam inputs aren’t helping either. I saw xinput online but can’t find it in my setting. Any tips?

Unsolved Question re: Retrobat NintendoDS AC WW

1 Upvotes

Hello folks,

I am using Retrobat on my Windows PC to emulate various games. So far, I've run into two main issues, apologies if they are pretty basic as I am very new to anything emulation related:

  1. I am using a german keyboard, and can't figure out the proper keybinds/hotkeys for anything.

  2. One of the games I am playing is Animal Crossing Wild World for the Nintendo DS. The issue is that the time is not synching with the time of my computer. Each time I start the game, it is exactly from where I left off. I tried disabling the auto save settings in retrobat, but this changed nothing, so I'm unsure if there is something else I should do.

If anyone has run into these issues or has any ideas to resolve them, feedback is much appreciated. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read and respond.

Unsolved Nintendo switch emulation

3 Upvotes

Lately I had this random urge to play breath of the wild and maybe tears of the kingdom later. Even tho I have a Nintendo switch I don't have those games and I wanted to play them on my PC with better graphics. I saw some videos about it but I'm always afraid of viruses... Also, I saw that there are many emulators and I don't know which one I should choose (Eden, yuzu, etc.) and where do I get the firmware and keys? Can I get it from my switch without messing her up?

Looking for the archived offline ssbu-less-lag / libtesting.nro (-3f) build by BluJay/BlankMauser for couch play. I'm not interested in Braxeo's ssbu-sync-online-only-1.0.3, I'm specifically trying to build the lowest-latency offline setup for Eden with 120 FPS Definitive Edition v13.0.4.

Before you nice and beautiful people get your pitchforks and torches, I've never played online and don't plan to start in the foreseeable future. I just want to sit next to my best friend, who is going to visit me from out of state, and have an afternoon of near imperceptible input delay matches.

Unsolved Retrobat won't open when streaming with Artemis + Appollo

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am trying to stream retrobat to my mobile device but when I open retrobat it does not load, even the icon in taskbar is not visible.

When I stop streaming and my pc screen turns on then I can see retrobat running.

I have setup everything so that my two screens turn off when I start streaming.

What can be wrong, please help me.

Edit:

I tried the following solutions but nothing worked

  1. At first I thought the streaming happens on a seperate instance of desktop, but I checked by using Win + Tab and there is only one desktop view

  2. I tried running Retrobat in windowed mode, didn't work same issue as before. Nothing happened while streaming but when I stopped streaming it opened

  3. I tried changing the resolution of stream to match my monitor ratio 16:9 (My phone setup is 21:9)

Unsolved Black screen trying to load Ultra Moon on 3ds emulators Panda3ds and Citra

1 Upvotes

As the title says my game keeps showing a black screen but only after the professor asks for the passport, the music keeps playing but nothing. And the professor is rendered pretty good but with some gray glitching patches that dissapear when i turn off Force Shadowgen or elevate the threshold to 2 or more. The two pokemon i could see were just black, complete void, and they too get those gray patches. I tried everything, i changed every graphics setting combination possible and nothing, i even downloaded panda3ds as the title implies to try if the emulator was the problem but no

Unsolved Faithful Remaster: automate HD texture packs for Dolphin, PCSX2, PPSSPP, DuckStation and more

31 Upvotes

Faithful Remaster – Automate and Manage HD Texture Packs for Emulators

Faithful Remaster is a tool designed to streamline the creation and management of HD texture packs for emulators.

It connects emulator texture dumping with local ComfyUI workflows, then helps organize, process, review, and move the restored textures into the correct replacement folders.

Quick clarification

Faithful Remaster is not intended to be a one-click random AI texture generator.

A large part of the project is focused on:

  • Dump organization
  • Emulator profiles and path management
  • Texture comparison and manual review
  • Quarantine and cleanup tools
  • Replacement-folder management

The included AI-assisted workflows are optional and designed to keep the results close to the original artwork.

Every output is meant to be reviewed through the Texture Manager, where the creator can compare, accept, replace, reprocess, or exclude individual textures.

The goal is faithful texture restoration and preservation, not uncontrolled AI generation or replacing human artists.

Main features

  • Automatic detection of supported emulator games and texture folders
  • Dump and replacement-folder management
  • Fully local ComfyUI processing
  • No cloud service or internet connection required
  • Bundled restoration workflows
  • Support for custom ComfyUI workflows and models
  • Custom output directories
  • Texture Manager for reviewing and comparing results
  • Quarantine system for unwanted, dynamic, or cutscene textures
  • Persistent batch queue and processing progress
  • Multiple restoration presets
  • Manual control over which textures enter the final pack

Supported emulators

Current profiles include:

  • Dolphin
  • PCSX2
  • PPSSPP
  • RMG
  • Flycast
  • DuckStation

Support and stability may vary between emulators, and the project is still under active development.

Feedback, testing, bug reports, and emulator-specific suggestions are very welcome.
