So I haven't heard much talk about emulation aside from Retroarch and Lakka, personally I haven't tried Lakka yet (I think they are different things I honestly don't know at this point) but I have played a tiny bit of Retroarch, mainly the SNES emulation. Usually a constant 50 FPS in handheld which bugs me seeing as I can tell something is just a bit slower then usual. Going to try some N64 roms soon however all I've heard of N64, PSX and beyond doesn't really sound all that great. What consoles can we even emulate without much issue right now? And is there anyway to improve our emulation or anything of the sort?

Overclocking is coming soon to RetroArch. Soon, N64 and PSX games will be playing at normal speed. Follow Jason L (aka Mr Homebrew) on YouTube for more info.

Stop using PAL roms?

Well that explains it. I thought the FPS differences between roms only applied to systems and not to the emulators. I assume the FPS thing also happens for N64 roms has well naturally. Well fuck.

N64 games are weird.
Majoras for example is a 20fps title with "normal" dips down to 18fps (16-18 on PAL)
Rule of thumb for n64 games is: Good audio == fullspeed

Well it's a shame seeing as I'll have to get rid of all my PAL ROMs which is like basically all of the roms I have.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
