@ranma I worked on an install script for it once. Would you be willing to show yours? I would also like to know if your using drastic bios or the real deal. Did you emulate DSI?

Ok, here is my long shot hoping that someone remembers...

8-bit era or older game (though there is a slim chance it could have been an Amiga game)
Driving or other type of car/vehicle game
*Every once in a while a vehicle would get in your way, and when this vehicle spawned the tune for "See the USA in your Chevrolet" would play.

I hear that sound in my head all the time and I just can't figure out where the hell it came from. I know it was a game I played a lot, but my collection was so vast back then that I just can't remember where it might be from.

@folly I'm still working silly hours so I haven't had any time to tinker, but I saw that you managed to crack the Acorn Electron!
I wanted to look at how to play Metal gear 1 and 2 on lr-bluemsx to use Retroachievements. The games run fine through rom files but the saving function doesn't work as you need a separate cassette which the emulator doesn't seem to emulate.

I hope you enjoy the work and earn a lot of money with these many hours of work.

Indeed that Acorn stuff works really great, you should try it out.
I also added the same disc autoboot in the xbeeb and xmaster now (bbcmicro).

I think .cas files should work on lr-bluemsx.
I can have a look at that, perhaps I can figure it out.

Not knowing much about Retroachievements have a look at that too.

@george-spiggott said in General Duckstation discussion:

Has anyone succeeded at running any games at 2x resolution at a reasonable speed? Even on an overclocked Pi4 doesn't seem up to this. This is certainly an emulator that will grow in usefulness as the capability of Raspberry Pis increase although I think I will probably stick with PCSX Rearmed in the short term.

I have been running a few games (spyro, ff1/2, crash bandicoot, ONE) at 4x res, with 32x msaa at over full speed (Vulkan hardware rendering). My pi4 is overclocked, but pretty much stock RetroPie.

@bytethis

i just buy a new 64gb microsd for a backup cause my hard disk with the backup of the microsd left me 2 days ago.

@knipik On Windows PC, go with Demul.

@billymild said in Getting the best N64 experience on a Pi 4:

Anyone using Vulkan yet?

even if you manually installed latest mesa (vulkan is not included in the version used by current raspberry pi OS), there is no HLE n64 emulator that uses vulkan (ie, GLideN64 does not support vulkan), and the LLE video plugin that does support it (parallel-rdp) needs more than vulkan 1.0 anyway, and is likely very beyond the pi 4's gpu, vulkan or not.

The June's issue of RANews is out!

Here's what to expect from it...

Featured articles: How to contribute if you don't want to be an achievement creator (spoiler: there's A LOT of ways) We're starting the DevNews segment talking about the DevQuests I share my tips about how to research a game to get ideas for an interesting achievement set (it's targeted for non-devs too!). ikki5 shares his old memories and tell us why "Robin Hood: The Prince of Thieves" is a cool NES game. A guide for Bomberman Quest (GBC) by Nepiki StingX2 officially starts the Top Masteries, with the champions of each console. SporyTike wants you fix the mess Baby Bowser made in Yoshi's Island in a "Spot The Difference" challenge. And the already traditional articles: mini-articles where community members talk about their favorite sets and why you should play them. a list of the current open gaming events. a list of the brand new sets released over the last month. statistics about the top 300 players of the site and how they progressed. a list of the most wanted games with no achievement sets yet. a list of all the revisions and rescores that happened over the last month. a list of all game icons and badges updates

Who here would be excited to emulate 3DS? I think we probably would have enough power to do so with overclock. I’m basing my assumption on the fact we can run some GameCube games at full speed with overclock on 64 bit

@mitu Whoops! I guess I didn’t check there. My apologies

Let me take the opportunity that this spammer dug up this thread and share an interesting game I've been playing with my little one:

Ecco Jr, for Mega Drive.

@machs I third that.
