Favorite Method of Emulation?

[DS1]

When I was younger I would emulate on PC ALL THE TIME, but now it's PSP (PS1 and NGPC) or DS (NES) or nothing. Can't stand to be hunched over the laptop for extended periods of time.

I just use my XPlay for all my emulation. Its considerably stronger then a PSP, massive selection for them (though for PSX I stick with Sonys emulator and N64 is Mupen all the way.)

For SNES, GBA, GBC I like to use the oids.

Makes me wish I have one since all I have is an ordinary Android.

Yeah, the controller being built in is really nice. The only compaint I really have is that the triggers are annoying to press since they slope and its harder to hold them down.

Really? I tried one in stall and it seems fine to me but I didn't really have the chance to play around for a few hours since I started to get strange looks after 20 minutes.

Lol, Verizon store right?

But yeah, when I first got it (about a year ago) the triggers were strong, but like all buttons, they wear out after a while. Might just be me. Anyway, were off topic (I think...) but Androids in general are usually the second best emulators to PCs.

I use my 3DS mostly for DS emulation.

When you say "DS emulation" do you mean playing NES, GBC, etc emulators via flash cart, or do you mean booting DS ROMs via flashcart?

DS roms via flashcart. I know it's probably not exactly emulating (same way as gamecube on a wii isn't really that), but I'd mention it as such.

I think I've got a gameboy emulator on that 3DS somewhere, but other than testing whether homebrew works, I haven't used it (the PSP phat I already had had plain out better controls).


Oh, and I agree with Zantigo that those top buttons are a bit hard to press (an otterbox case doesn't exactly make things easier). But for the far majority of games, the four main buttons are sufficient.

Xperia Play. Because it's incredibly convenient. Otherwise, it'd be a PC with a gamepad.

NES: PSP
SNES: PSP
N64: PC with DualShock 3 as a controller
Gameboy, GBC, GBA: PSP
PSX: PSP
PS2: PC with DualShock 3 as a controller (My PS2 died )
Sega Genesis: PSP

Yeah I use my PSP a lot.

I would use my DS for GBA emulation if not for the inconvenience of converting them for my Supercard Lite, 2GB memory limit of my MicroSD Card, and the fact that gPSP has save states

converting them? doesnt it work like the DSTWO?
i dont recall if the SC Lite is slot-1 or slot-2, but on DSTWO at least i just drag them to the sd card, even zipped and they just work.

Nope. I'm in Australia.

Oh. Well over time I guess it would wear out after a while. Honestly I prefer Android over PC emulation mostly because its convenient and it feels easier to have actual buttons even if it is just on a touch screen compared to using my keyboard.

The Supercard Lite is a slot 2 card and requires all ROMs, both DS and GBA, to be patched with the Supercard Patcher Software.

I use an R4 and a Supercard Lite, so I can't drag and drop.

Vintage shit

 

[Deleted-236924]

I use my PSP to emulate NES, SNES, GB and GBA.
I would be using my EZF-IV for GBA, but my miniSD died, so I'm going to have to find a new one.

I emulate N64 and Gamecube on Project64 and Dolphin, with a wireless controler.

I cant stand emulating on my phone really. It can only be RPGs or something cause myphone has no buttons. And i hate doing it on my laptop too.

Isn't there those BT controllers you can get for your phone if you want to not use the touchscreen to play games?

In all honesty I might as well play on a Wii or something if I have to set up a controller to emulate.

The Wii isn't as portable but its the alternative to if you don't have a XPlay and want to play your games with physical buttons. Honestly I don't mind playing on the touchscreen since its not interfering with the game but there are people that don't like it.

If a system is easily emulatable on the GBA or DS, I'll play it on that if I can. Otherwise, I'll play it on my PC using either an SNES-to-USB converter or by turning my GBA into a USB joypad to play it with.

I actually got so used to the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 controls on the GBA that I made a custom Project64 joypad setup to let me play the N64 THPS games with my GBA, and the results were far better than I expected.

QUICK EDIT: when I was still living in a dorm room and had access to my roommate's Wii, we used that for emulation a LOT, whether it was the Wiimote or Classic Controller or whatnot.

 

[RchUncleSkeleton]

My favorite method is emulating via the Wii but when I'm not home or for things like PS1 or N64 games that haven't been released on VC I use my laptop and a saitek usb gamepad.

 

[DanTheManMS]

I wish Adaptoids weren't so expensive. I'd love an N64-to-USB conversion cable at a cheap price.

that is pretty sick.

though i dont consider the price as cheap, i think the N64/Saturn/PS2 was $15 last i checked, which is fairly decent, since the N64 and Saturn gamepads are pretty awesome.
