Playing Consoles on the PC: The Emulation Spectrum

GameAlmighty's Matt Butrovich writes, "Having to sort through all of the competing emulators and familiarize myself with how to run them can be daunting, so I decided to share my results with you and hopefully make your initiation or reintroduction to emulation slightly more accessible."

I remember fiddling w/ a Saturn emu back in the day, so I wonder what became of that scene.

Skizelli6668d ago (Edited 6668d ago )

Saturn emulation is doing quite well. The only emulator worth bothering with is SSF. It can run a lot of games, but it's a bit of a pain to configure.

Here's its compatibility list:

Console emulators are great.
I recently played through Chrono Cross again through an emulator (my PS1 broke) at 1680x1050, 4x AA, and trilinear filtering and it looked awesome.

I also dabbled around with PCSX2, the PS2 emulator, but it still has its fair share of bugs. Some games work like Final Fantasy X (plays perfectly) and Final Fantasy XII ("playable"), but others like Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Shadow of the Colossus suffer from graphics glitches and/or slow framerates.

... I'm now trying to get emulators to work on my modded Xbox. I've been playing Super Mario World quite a bit these last 2 weeks orso, plus I wanna install Chrono Trigger so I can enjoy that game again.

Also really want to install MAME on my Xbox, so I can play Street Fighter Alpha 3, which I never have had a chance to play.

ItsDubC6668d ago

I actually play more SNES games on my Xbox than Xbox games. I was unable to get the N64 emu working on my Xbox, which sucks cuz that would've made it the ultimate gaming machine IMHO.

Yi-Long6668d ago

... it was pre-installed, although I'm not sure all games work. Mario Tennis didnt work, I believe.

But there arent really any N64 games that I'm interested in. Only game that I would like would be Zelda, but I have that one on the Cube already, so no need to play it through an emulator.

I would welcome a Dreamcast emulator though, if that would mean playing Soul Calibur en Japanese Shenmue again...

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing31d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit31d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing31d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9231d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
