They seem real to me I've got 32ms audio buffer running in a PS1 game and I don't think I've had a hint of crackling. Retroarch just pushed out audio latency improvements for a number of cores. Hopefully Steam Deck isn't just a flash in the pan and brings some real Linux energy to the market. ![]() I would really like to see more common latency testing pitting Windows 11 (and 10) against a good Linux distro. All told, Windows 10 has good software compatibility (and Microsoft's many-billions-of-dollars market share depends on it). If you don't want to use RA, there are other decent options in BlastEm! and BryanM: I will fault Microsoft for a lot of boneheaded decisions (many of which are generally outside the scope of this thread ), but I am not sure I can fault them for not making very old programs take advantage of new graphics APIs like Vulkan! The main pain points in Windows API breakage seem to me to be in the shift around the XP era and the change from DirectDraw to DirectX. I haven't seen any real negative in moving to Retroarch's Gens Plus GX, which is *at least* its equal in the speed department and clearly superior in many others. For doing something like black frame insertion with exclusive fullscreen, or low latency audio, you probably need to use more up-to-date software. It isn't the most accurate and is generally obsolete in terms of features, but I think it is still the best choice specifically for the Pico and 32x which other emulators still don't seem to support. _įusion is "good enough" but I don't like using it now. GPGX via Bizhawk probably does the best job of balancing accuracy with accessibility since Bizhawk has a sane WIMP UI, unlike that other program. There's also Exodus, which aims to be higan for the Genesis, but last time I checked it wasn't anywhere near complete enough for general use. MAME recently revamped a bunch of their FM chips, so its YM2612 emulation is supposedly on par with what's in BlastEm and Nuked-OPN2, but you have to set the volume levels manually, and MAME isn't particularly great for Genesis emulation otherwise. ![]() It's still my emulator of choice, but I run it through the command line to get around the buggy UI and do all the configuring in a text file, so that is something to keep in mind. Bizhawk has its own version of GPGX, but that version doesn't use Nuked-OPN2 for cycle-accurate YM2612 emulation.īlastEm is currently the most accurate, but its UI has been pretty buggy and the last stable release is severely out of date, so you need to get one of the nightly builds that may or may not be broken (the dev claimed this himself). Genesis Plus GX is pretty good and probably the most widely used these days by virtue of being in RetroArch, but RetroArch is horrible as a program. Genesis emulation is kind of in a weird place right now. I can't even fullscreen it in windows 10. ![]() Well Kega Fusion can't be the golden boy for Genesis/Mega Drive anymore can it?
