      Can the Konami Arcade Advanced ROMs run on an NES emulator?

      @JimmyFromTheBay said in Can the Konami Arcade Advanced ROMs run on an NES emulator?:

      running them on an VTxx emulator

      Fixing your typo.

      I'm not saying there are no VTxx emulators, you know at the very least about one (MAME/MESS). There might be others.
      You seem to think that it's normal for an emulator to support every kind of similar hardware, but it's not (e.g. most console emulators are unable to emulate their arcade counterpart).

      @folly Thanks for chiming in, I'll look into that!

      Yeah from what I've seen so far, a lot of the menus still have enough English to be playable, with the worst of it generally being not being able to read/understand the characters for games where you'd have to make up a name for yourself. With an RPG like Esper Dream however, the language barrier was definitely going to be an issue (but fortunately a translated ROM exists). Just don't want to have it inconvenience me later on.

      Anyway, hopefully I can get someone who can answer some of these other questions...!!

      @folly It worked! Thanks so much! That was the issue. I needed to change the emulators.cfg to tell it where the retroarch.cfg was in the famicom folder. Thanks again!

      Great to hear it is working.

      Curious,
      what lines did you have in the famicom emulators.cfg ?

      It should have added it when you updated your patched lr-nestopia.

      Will I still get the same nearly flawless experience with those emulators in their current state of development? I would rather not buy a Pi 4 if I don't need to spend the money.

      I just updated mine first time in almost 2 years. Make sure to copy all ur splashscreen videos and stuff. I cant find the one I was using. I deleted my SD card and started fresh. However, you can just update the cores. You could try updating the kernel and stuff but I had a hard time because my kernel and stuff was too old it would freeze up. You might now have that problem.

      " Will I still get the same nearly flawless experience with those emulators in their current state of development"
      It will probably be the same if not better.

      Well, you could manually recompile it from an earlier version to get back to where it was but as far as converting the savestates I'm not aware of any method

      @heroism Again, you need to unzip the samples in their own game folder for this to work.

      @bpmnyc

      It wouldn't work for a couple of reasons. Primarily, RetroArch will only use a mouse or pointer device to emulate a light gun. Popular solutions to this are AimTrak USB guns, as well as a Dolphinbar/Wiimote/Gun casing combo. Another big hangup was input lag, as the screen flash has to occur at the exact moment the trigger is pressed. However, thanks to recent developments that were previously thought to be somewhat impossible, this would no longer be an issue when using capable hardware. Still, support would nonetheless have to be added for RetroArch to interface with actual light guns.

      @thelostsoul said in NES PAL color reproduction in le-nestopia:

      So its possible with both emulators.

      Yes it is. They both even share many, if not all, of the same filters. However, in a few cases, the filters have different names.

      Nestopia is said to be more accurate and less problems with sound production

      Neither core will run every game, so you'll probably want both if you're looking for maximum coverage. lr-nestopia does seem to handle some of the more finicky unlicensed titles, like 'Action 52' that lr-fceumm won't even launch.

      My main question is, what should I set them to if I want a similiar experience like my old PAL tv?

      I'm a Statesman myself, so that'll best be answered by someone else.

      Thanks to all for the advice. I have used the no intro rom set and slimmed it down to English language only games using Romulus and a dat file from dat-o-matic.

      A single dance pad can't be used even to get half of the Power Pad because the center square on dance pads is not active. Assuming the Power Pad works inside like a Konami dance pad, the sensors are analog (pressure sensitive resistance), so you can't just hook up the guts to a PI, and you need a microcontroller with 12 analog pins. I don't know if the Power Pad's digital electronics can work with the PI's 3.3v GPIOs. A full solution for the Power Pad 12 button side is to overlap TWO dance pads and use bleeding edge fceumm libretro core: https://www.instructables.com/Playing-NES-Power-Pad-Games-in-Emulation/

      I'm still not sure what's going on. It seems like any new NES rom I load onto the retropie experiences the same issue. When I say new I mean any rom that wasn't already previously loaded on the retropie before I started to experience the issue.

      I downloaded a fresh set of no-intro roms and verified they were correct using clrmamepro. I compared one of the currently working roms [Addams Family, The (USA).nes] to one of the ones in the new set I downloaded i.e.

      Addams Family, The (USA).nes

      CRC32: 94A230A9 MD5: 56DF8432043A2D724BAB64FEB39912D5 SHA-1: 7E236610BDFDE5A439A19E18C873982E2C607643

      Everything matched so I know I'm using the correct set of roms.

      I then tried to add a new rom from the same set [10-Yard Fight (USA, Europe).nes], however this rom won't load, it experiences the same problem as the other roms I described in my earlier post i.e. the screen turns black for a couple of seconds then comes back to the rom list.

      10-Yard Fight (USA, Europe).nes

      CRC32: B312DF62 MD5: 0E2E5DD0C3D8A48C28588DA93EAFA82B SHA-1: ED2E5D9B4BEC0A87BAD56930A2482F752C0E06EC

      Any ideas on how to fix this?
