• I don't know what devil magic was used to accomplish this but Goldeneye32x managed to make a PC port of Rondo of Blood. And yes, it is fully functional, i played it. The link to the game is in the description of the video

  I mean, the game's program icon gives it away. It's a custom wrapper using an older version of Mednafen. Source: about 1 year ago

• Resources that will help you out with replaying old games.

  Mednafen with a frontend like Mednaffe are a great option for the NES, SNES, and a bunch of other 80s & early-90s systems (Genesis, Playstation 1, Saturn, etc.). Source: almost 2 years ago

• Some questions about Playstation 1 emulator

  Duckstation and Mednafen. Mednafen is the closest to 100% game accuracy; Duckstation is Mednafen but with added graphical enhancements and quality of life features. Source: almost 2 years ago

• To prep for March 4, I got in some practice laps on the original

  Both use "cores" to emulate various platforms, and in this case, they both use Mednafen for their PS1 core, which can also work as a standalone emulator if you are comfortable with the command line. Source: about 2 years ago

• Sega Saturn core plays runs better when the RetroArch menu is pulled up, but unplayable when playing normally. Can somebody help me?

  I switched directly to Mednafen (https://mednafen.github.io/) using the Mednaffe GUI (https://github.com/AmatCoder/mednaffe) and it's been smoothing sailing ever since. Source: over 2 years ago

  Use MelonDS instead, it's the most recommended DS emulator. Source: 10 months ago

• Pokémon emulators

  You mean emulators running on PC? It took some doing, but I finally got DS Download Play to work on MelonDS. First you need to get DS firmware files. I found one on Retrostic that did not work for me. Melon told me it was an old hacked dump, and trying to boot it just got me a white screen. I found another on the Internet Archive that works.

• I feel like people put down MelonDS too much here

  MelonDS is actually doing a lot of really cool stuff. I can't speak too much on the Android build, but on PC they have actually gotten multiplayer too work flawlessly and they are currently working on implementing netplay. You can keep up with their progress here. Source: 11 months ago

• Hi, new to emulators. I had a question, can I run gba and nds games on this?

  No, you can use mGBA for GBA games, and MelonDS for NDS games. Source: 11 months ago

• Completely new to emulation

  AFAIK randomizers are usually romhacks, and so they should work on most DS emulators, I personally use melonDS, however you can find a list of DS emulators here. Source: about 1 year ago
