When I downloaded the latest version of Demul and tested the .7z file on Virustotal I got the following result:

Has anyone had issues with Demul or do you think these are simply false positives? I want to get VF4 Final Tuned running on my PC but if anyone has had issues with Demul, please let me know.

1 antivirus software detected it, and it's one nobody has ever heard of. Not only that, but it's identified as something very generic, and that it's suspicious. That file is safe.

Ok , sorry it was 2 antivirus programs, and that baidu one was pretty specific, but WisdomEyes should have been picked up by the others if it was actually in there.

I suspected they were just false positives; thanks for the quick replies and when I have the time I'm gonna go ahead and set Demul up and get some of those beautiful Naomi 2 games running. From the YT videos I've watched it looks like the various versions of VF4 run almost flawlessly. PS2 port of Evo is really nice but it's still vastly inferior to the arcade version in terms of character poly counts, textures and of course general image quality. The PS2 is NOT a good piece of HW to port Naomi games to since most of them rely so much on good texture work and excellent IQ.

I just went ahead and got it running. Hope those little scares are just that; little scares/false positives.

Final Tuned never left Japan and it looks way better than even the very competent PS2 EVO port. Still need to tweak the emu to get ir running 100% flawlessly without any audio popping and such but seems to run quite smoothly.

    @Psionic Roshambo, idk
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, why?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    yea ik im stupid
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
