Thema: Emulatoren für diverse Spielekonsolen

[SiLæncer]

Emu Loader was created to manage an arcade games emulator called M.A.M.E. With this frontend, you can change practically any option that is available in the emulator, like the screen resolution, sound quality, game options, etc. There are lots of extra features that makes your life much more easier, like the snapshots viewer where all captured images from M.A.M.E. games can be viewed when selecting games.

Changelog

Fixed:

Fixes and changes to "Last Played Games (MRU)
Bugged user interface if a console/computer game (from EmuCon) is selected in main games list (cosmetic fix)
Button "Abort" renamed to "Close" since it doesn't reset to the last selected game in main games list if a new game is selected with "Select Game" button
The dialog was not resizing correctly, several adjustments were made; also, added proper support for resolutions lower than 1680x1050
EmuCon system was not properly selected in "Console/Computer Games Folders Settings" dialog (main menu "Console/Computer" and "Select Games folders" button in "Console/Computer Emulators Setup" dialog

Changed:

Changes to "Select a Machine to Run the Game With" dialog
Display filename text below the game title for EmuCon games
Minor tweaks to the user interface, both visual and loading speed
Deleted a nasty message box that appears if the selected EmuCon system doesn't have assigned MAME software lists
Neat new looks for the "Select Default Emulators to Play" dialog ("emulators" tool bar button); plus a few tweaks
... still, more cuteness tweaks required

Changelog

Fixed

FATALITY! Demul games with CHD files and ZiNc games with CDs were not being set as "Media Type = Disc" when creating games lists, messing up with games filtering and games files validation system; you MUST create games list for both systems again, it's the only way to fix it

Changed

Fixes and changes to "Filter Arcade Games by Main CPU" ("Miscellaneous Filters" tool bar button)
- partial string support in TEdit box; you don't need to type the full CPU title anymore
- files "arcade\games\mame_maincpu.ini" and "arcade\games\hbmame_maincpu.ini" were not being loaded to the combo box control, making it impossible to select a CPU to filter the list
- selecting a CPU in the combo box list will automatic filter the games list... as it should have been!
- the CPU TEdit box will be emptied when selecting a CPU in the combo box
- moved the CPU combo box list to the left as it makes more sense
- improved filtering speed when games list is in grouped view mode
- tweaks to improve CPU names search speed
Changes to the startup process
- detailed messages in splash screen so you know what the frontend is actually doing
- on a clean install (no arcade/console/computer games files found), the splash screen is closed to avoid being on top of the clean install dialog, making it look like the frontend is frozen, even though the timer is still running
- if you have arcade emulators selected but the executable files are not found, the frontend will no longer ask you to select them again ... old code leftover, sorry
- source code cleaning and some minor tweaks applied
Changes to "Run Game (Extra Parameters)" (games popup menu)
- added support to four (4) memory card slots; PGM2 games use it
- detection of memory card file extensions (from -listxml output) so you can use MAME's supported file extensions per game/driver
  (you need to create MAME/HBMAME games list again)
- file extension filters in select file dialog changed to support any extension (.*)
- mouse double-click on a listed memcard file will add it to "slot 1"
- resize memcard files list panel according to slots count

Removed

Demul v0.582 and older is no longer supported!
- games with GD-ROM files were never properly detected and were handled by the frontend in a extremely weird way
- nobody probably use old Demul builds anyway because I haven't got a single bug report for the last 2 years
- from now on, only Demul v0.7 and newer will be supported

Added

Detection of "ced_videodisc" disk region tag in -listxml output
- for "disk" entries and MAME only
- "CED VideoDisc" is handled as "Disc" (or "CD") media type
- this is purely cosmetic and it doesn't alter the way Emu Loader validates CHD files
New MAME CHD media type: "Video Tape"
- detection of "vhs" region tag in -listxml output ("disk" entries only)
- new game file IDs: "21 -> Game Video Tape"; "22 -> Device Video Tape"; "23 - Bios Video Tape"
- this is purely cosmetic and it doesn't alter the way Emu Loader validates CHD files
New "mediatype_tag" for MAME CHDs, Demul CHDs and ZiNc games
- tags added when creating games lists
- tags are listed in "arcade\games\system_name.elrom" files
- only "Disc" media type have this new tag (CD, DVD, Laserdisc, GD-ROM, AudioCD, CED VideoDisc)
- supported tags: "cdrom", "laserdisc", "gdrom", "audiocd", "ced_videodisc"
- for a future improvement, and there won't be exclusive icons for them, only a general "disc" icon
- MAME software lists "MIGHT" be supported in the future... maybe
- this is purely cosmetic and it doesn't alter the way Emu Loader validates CHD files

Cemu - Wii U emulator is a highly experimental software to emulate Wii U applications on your computer.

It isn't called an alpha or even a beta, but highly experimental. See some limitations below.

Freeware

Changelog

Added multi-core PowerPC emulation
SpotPass support (auto-download BOSS files)
Small optimizations
Misc smaller changes and bugfixes

[close]

Limitations:

Nvidia or AMD video cards only. Will not run on Intel video cards. Currently, only the DRC (GamePad), Pro Controller and Classic Controller are emulated. Keyboard input + USB controllers are supported partially. Windows 7 or above required.

Changelog

Fixed:

Oh boy... "Delete/Copy/Move Games Files" was not working at all (games popup menu)
Copy/move operations not working even when game file exists
Replaced action functions by Unicode ones: "CopyFileW()", "MoveFileW()", "DeleteFileW()"; they seem to work OK
The "mame_softlist_folder_name" folder was being added BEFORE "system_folder_name" folder... D'OH!

Changed:

Changes to "Copy/Move Games Files"
Games list screen is closed after moving files even with operation errors; after moving files you can't move them again anyway
When copying files, the games list screen stays open in case you want to copy them to another location (handy mode ON)
Forgot to add support for "Video Tape (VHS)" media type in the "copy/move" dialog (MAME CHD files)
Several tweaks
Removal of ancient code

Added:

Feature "Copy/Move Games Files" got a new checkbox setting, enabled by default: "Add System Folder"
What does it do ? It adds a "system_name" sub-folder at the end of the "Destination Path" you selected
In previous frontend builds this was enfoced, giving you no option to disable it
System names cannot be customized but are really easy to spot
For both single and multiple games selection dialogs
Useful when you want to copy/move files of games from the same system and don't want them to be copied/moved to a "system" sub-folder
When multiple games of different systems are selected, this settings is always enabled, even if you uncheck it ("Crash 'n Burn" mode OFF)

QuickPlay is a universal emulator frontend-of-frontends, which has support for many emulators and systems, old and new, with a philosophy of being quick and easy for new users but powerful for old-school gamers.

Because it was written in the heyday of RAD and OO frontends it's written in Delphi and able to support considerable complexity and customization. It claims to work similar to MAMEUI.

While many other frontends of that era are not updated anymore QuickPlay is still updated by a group of supporters. It features a fast search over large romsets.

Mame softlists: other game names functionality: Mame made some mistakes:

    mamenames for games are unique per-machine's device, not unique per machine as they should be (smb2 could be both a flop for the Jap version and a cart for the US version, so what happens when you call mame famicom smb2?)
    mamename loading (without specifying device) does nice things like multi-disc loading. If you do specify device, no nice things
    its hard to tell when you have a name conflice, which device will be treated as the 'default' So, to load the correct game, we look for exceptional game name conflicts between the original softlists for a system. If we find conflicts, only then do we override the mame call by specifying device

fix some other issues found to get more games working in mame, in particular:

    the custom calls needed for the nes_ and snes_ 'special cartridge' softlists
    forcing up the rating of certain emulators for a system, to make sure games load easier, in particular msx1_flop, where a late Brazilian variant loads double-density disks, and msx2p, where the previous default emus required you to know Japanese to load a game

make image fit in thumbnail media panel view...
add back and next buttons for image viewer
update and tweak the RetroArch efind, many additions and fixes to take up to RetroArch 1.6.9
stop multiloader using deamon tools to mount zips (turns out it was VERY slow, often in-game, just always unzip)
refresh mednafen efinds (add mednafen saturn)

  - not sure if MAME's internal frontend supports this... - tweaks to selected game's image file search function (tiny speed boost)
Renamed "View Game Documents" to "Show MAME Game Documents" (games popup menu), as this is a MAME exclusive feature
Tweaks in game documents feature to remove redundant selected game checks
Minor improvement when switching Images on/off while in thumbnails view; StringList cache for zipped images is reloaded only when setting "Images" enabled (might need further tweaks)
Removed
Deleted several old commented code from source code
Added
New "Show Only Sets With CRC32 Collision" arcade misc filter (to help future games audit improvements)
- useful filter to know what sets have same CRC32 checksum on different game files
- if the set is a game (parent or clone) but the affected files are from a device or bios set, the game will NOT be tagged as "CRC32 collision"
- so far, only two MAME sets have this: "segadimm" and "segasp"
New feature: "Game Documents Display Mode"
- wanna show game docs in a full panel without disabling images ? there are two settings:
  - "Images and Game Docs Single Panel": default frontend behavior and will show game docs together with preview images
  - "Images and Game Docs Tabbed Panels": use this to show images and game docs in separate panels (like MAME's internal UI)
- to change it, go to Preferences screen (main menu) and select "Game Docs" page
NOTES:
  - two new buttons added on images tool bar to switch between panels: "Images" / "Game Documents"
  - if images tab is selected, game docs for selected game will not load
  - if game docs tab is selected, images for selected game will not load
  - settings are saved in "el_extras.ini", "[GameDocuments]" section
  - if either images or game docs is disabled, a blank panel will be displayed (behavior may change later)
  - if both images and game docs features are disabled, no panel will be displayed

QB: Added –datarootdir.
QB: Added –bindir and –mandir and deprecated –with-bin_dir and –with-man_dir.
QB: Added –docdir.
SHADERS: Allow saving of shader presets based on the parent directory (Saving one for */foo/bar/mario.sfc* would result in *shaders/presets/corename/bar.ext*). We decided it’s safer to still isolate the presets to a single core because different cores may treat video output differently.
SHADERS: Don’t save the path to the current preset to the main config. This was causing weird behavior, instead it will try to load *currentconfig.ext* and it will save a preset with that name when select *apply shader preset*. The resulting shader will restore properly after restarting and even after core/parent/game specific presets are loaded
SOLARIS: Initial port.
SWITCH: Initial Nintendo Switch port, based on libtransistor SDK.
PS3: Enable Cheevos.

New Direct3D 11/12 driver:

RetroArch 1.7.1 now features very robust and feature-complete Direct3D 11/12 drivers for Windows users! Direct3D 11 should be available to users starting as of Windows 7, whereas in order to use Direct3D 12, you need Windows 10.

See here the following features:

Supports Slang shaders, the same shader format that Vulkan uses
Suports the menu; supports MaterialUI and XMB.
Supports overlays.
All menu shader effects have been ported.
Do note that right now, it is recommended you use the Direct3D11 driver instead of Direct3D 12. D3D11 is many times faster than D3D12, and while there are still gains to be had, we are not necessarily sure if the D3D12 driver will ever be able to outperform the D3D11 driver.
The Direct 3D 11/12 video drivers should work with any libretro core that does not require either OpenGL or Vulkan to function.
Some minor features which are currently not available is features like Max swapchain image control, GPU Hard Sync and/or Black Frame Insertion.

Emscripten/Web Player back in action and better than ever:

Toad King has graciously not only restored the Web Player, but made it better than ever. Now using WebAssembly under the hood, not only is it a lot faster, but it also now has the XMB menu by default and should work properly with builtin gamepad support from your browser. You can find the Web Player here. You can also reach the Web Player at any time by going to retroarch.com and clicking on ‘Web Player’ in the topright hand part of the site.

Xbox port back from the dead:

People always keep insisting that us supporting ancient compilers like Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 is pointless. Well, in this case it allowed for the long-dormant RetroArch Xbox OG version to be resurrected rather effortlessly. And we were able to write a Direct3D 8 video driver as well which works for both PC as well as Xbox OG.
The Xbox OG port is now more in lock-step with official mainline than ever. It no longer uses some proprietary hokey menu system but it just uses RGUI as the default. I could have included XMB as well, but we still have some work left to do in terms of making sure we can render text with Direct3D8 instead of relying on D3DX, and there were still some texture-related UV issues, so that factored into our decision to only go with RGUI for now.
Right out of the gate, there are 21 cores available for the Xbox version, far more than in any other time period of its lifecycle.
Other noteworthy features – it now supports overlays.
Subsystem support – Game Boy 2-player Link, Super Game Boy support with SNES emulators, etc:
This feature allows cores to specify a subsystem, which may be a different system like in this video, or an add-on (think Super Gameboy / Genesis lock on).
Previously, cores that supported subsystems (think Super Game Boy / Sufami Turbo with SNES9x emulators) needed to be started from the commandline in order to be able to use Super Game Boy/Sufami Turbo mode.
The following cores should already have subsystem support: Same Boy (allows for up to 2-Link netplayer), bSNES (Super Game Boy and Sufami support should work through the menu). NOTE: You need to set the Filebrowser Directory to your starting point directory if you want to use the subsystem feature. It will not work properly without.

Universal shader spec gaining steam – Vulkan/D3D11/D3D12/WiiU all using the same shaders now:

There are several video drivers now that all make use of the same universal shader format, Slang: Vulkan, Direct3D11,Direct3D12, WiiU. What this means is that all these video drivers are able to use the same shader format without having to convert from one format to another. The magic happens courtesy of SPIRV-Cross, itself a Khronos project. We hope that in the future, the slang shader spec will be supported by most of RetroArch’s video drivers (such as OpenGL and the other Direct3D drivers). This represents a very important step towards realizing that ultimate goal. Veteran RetroArch users will probably remember that we first tied our wagon to Nvidia’s Cg shader format. As that spec gradually fell out of favor and even Nvidia abandoned it wholesale, it was for a time uncertain for us which new format we would have to go with. You had GLSL on mobile and desktop GL, and HLSL for Direct3D. Now, with SPIRV-Cross, we finally have an exit strategy for the increasingly deprecating Cg ecosystem of shaders. That being said, we still intend to continue supporting Cg and the shader system, and platforms like PlayStation3 and Xbox 360 wholly depend on it in fact.

WiiU port vastly improved:

The WiiU port has been significantly improved upon in many ways:
Overlay support.
Transparency support in menu + overlays.
Increased stability during core switching.
Shader support (slang).
Menu shader effects added (shaders).
There are shaders out in the wild as add-on packs. Shaders are not compiled at runtime, unlike on PS3.

Switch port:

OK, so we can’t roll a public release out for this one yet since it still relies on baking in the content through squashfs. However, the Switch homebrew is recently heating up with the release of the Homebrew Launcher, and also competing SDKs like Libnx. However, we hope that by the time 1.7.2 comes out, we will have something in a ready-made fashion available to all.

Configurable audio resampling:

While RetroArch is also well set to deliver a latency experience almost on par with the actual hardware under the best circumstances, it also continues to help people find new solutions to their one core common problem – latency. You can set the audio quality in Settings -> Core to a less demanding level- that way.
