Hey ya'll,

I've had this idea for a while, wanting to play all my PS2 games with my friend who never really got a chance to experience PS2. It'd be so great if it would just work on steam remote play, but that is broken as of now (the "remoteplay whatever" on github is the only thing I found, it is broken as of today). The only other option i've seen is Parsec, and you can't host from the Linux side!! Which I need it to. I'm on linux, he's on windows.

In my mind it's not hard.. I need his pc's input, and then stream my video audio to him...the same way steam remote play does it.

Any help appreciated! Even if this could work for Duckstation for ps1 games, that'd still be fun.

I'm trying to find a more convenient way to use the emulated portal feature on dolphin/cemu. Is there any way to use it without a second monitor/switching tabs?

For example say an app that connects to the emulator and displays on your phone? Honestly anything that doesn't take focus from the game window would be excellent.

Thank you for the ideas and help!

What a mess, after finally finding an emulator that could run totk on 60fps (with the mod). Too bad the devs blew it 🥲

Can Recomops like Ship of Harkinian be installed on OS's like Batocera and RecalBox (particularly the RPi versions)? It has a native Linux port so I'd imagine it could be possible but these OS's are designed for emulation.

I know, its old and slow.

I was hoping to maybe utilize this laptop as a standalone emulator, since it has vga out and i can plug it right into my crt. However, its a turion x2 with a GeForce 8200m, 3gb ram and an ssd. So far ive only tried running flycast on it and it was a stutter fest. Linux mint is on it right now. I mainly did want to use it for dreamcast emulation as I have a lot of the other consoles in hardware form.

Before I spend a bunch of time tinkering with gpu drivers to see if it will work, should I just give it away and get something better?

  • When running on Windows 11, the default VSync setting is now "Off." Windows 11 automatically suppresses tearing, and disabling VSync further reduces latency
  • Added "Use Pad #0 (Another Pad for P1)" to the Input menu. When enabled, you can assign an additional Windows gamepad as Player 1. For example, you can use an arcade stick (#0) and a standard pad (#1) together
  • You can now rename CD-installed game folders. This is useful when changing names to Japanese or when a game is detected as "Unknown."
    (Manual renaming via Windows Explorer)
  1. Open the install folder via "CD-ROM -> CD Install -> Open 'Install' Folder."
  2. Rename the game's folder.
  3. Rename the .cue file inside the folder to match the folder name. (Keep the .cue extension.)
  • Note: State save filenames will also change
  • Added "Check Game Name" to the CD Install menu. Displays the default name of the currently running CD game
  • Added support for opening ROM images with the ".sgx" extension. These will automatically boot in SuperGrafx mode
  • Changed the default screenshot key from [PrintScreen] to [Pause], because Windows 11 freezes the screen when PrintScreen is pressed
  • Adjusted sound balance to more closely match real hardware
  • Added "Weaken Intense Light Flashing (Salamander)" and "Weaken Intense Light Flashing (Necros no Yousai)" to the "Setting -> Improve" menu. These reduce extreme flashing effects while preserving the original presentation. Enabled by default for health reasons. Users sensitive to flashing should still take precautions
  • Improved recognition of later-reissued CD-ROM versions of "Monster Lair."
  • The later-reissued version of "Juuouki" is now recognized as "Juuouki [New] (J)." This version works properly even with System Card v2.0 or later. The earlier version "Juuouki (J)" should be played with System Card v1.0
  • "Hyper Catalog 6" and "Hyper Catalog DUO-RX (Not for Sale)" are now recognized as separate titles
  • Improved CD-DA playback accuracy. Fixed issues such as:
  • "Steam Hearts": fanfare music not playing after stage clear.
  • "Nobunaga no Yabou: Bushou Fuunroku": freezing when playing certain tracks in the in-game CD sound test
  • Fixed an issue in "Seiryu Densetsu Monbit" where controls could stop responding after exiting the shrine east of Lance Village (likely also occurs on real hardware when both Memory Base 128 and Multitap are connected)
  • Fixed graphical corruption in "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" (sprite limit behavior reproduced)
  • Optimized rapid-fire behavior in "Xevious: Fardraut Densetsu" when set to HIGH
  • Added a 59.3Hz option to "Audio -> Adjust CD-DA (for Sync)."
  • Reduced the time required for "Adjust CD-DA Auto Set" from 60 seconds to 30 seconds and improved accuracy
  • Fixed rare slowdowns on Windows 11 when GPU power-saving modes were enabled on NVIDIA or AMD GPUs, even on high-end PCs
  • Various minor fixes and improvements
