Title: Best Emulators?
Post by: mikeinkc on January 05, 2004, 07:29:00 PM
We have a list of favorite Emu's. But the horse race is driving me crazy. There is one question is   just one. Question is when will anyone or everyone throw toghter an emu auto installer. when all emus are installed------- have rom folders under each emu for roms. I know how to find the programs, I know how to find the roms. but the updates are what drive ya crazy. There is Evox auto installer. Why not Emu auto installer.


Just the begining!

I enjoy Surreal 64 immensely.  It's nearly flawless in my brief encounters with it.  It's a N64 emu incase the thread starter doesn't know...

This would be nice for people who don't have any emulators at all, but for most people I think they would rather just copy a few updated files across than update a few hundred meg.

I know it's not technically an emulator in the strictest sense, but I think StepmaniaX should be on the list.
A lot of new people (the ones that read pinned topics, that is), might look to this kind of list to find a DDR sim.

LA!

What do you think?

In the technical sense BOR is not a emulator, however in the general use of the word it is.

Emulation is simply mimicking something else, so creating a game to mirror another game would infact be emulating it, just not the type of techinical emulation we refer to in this scene.

SO THARE.

This is a great resource. Has it occurred to anyboy to make a "current status" post for all existing emus out there?

That is, a list of the current version for each emu, links to compatibility threads (like the other pinned thread, but organized for each emu), perhaps size and MD5 of the release (to foil potential bad 'copies' in circulation), and maybe a brief description (like in this thread), ROM formats supports (bins, ZIPs, etc...), skinnability, and maybe even ratings of some sort?

There are so many, and the emu scene is arguably the best legitimate reason for modding an Xbox.

I'm thinking along the lines of our own X-S BIOS and mod chip guides, but obviously that's not possible as a post.

A DC emulator that plays commercial games on PC just got released a few days ago .1 alpha.  I fired up one game and it ran great there is a pretty large playablity list of commercial games.  Granted I think they recommend 1ghz I believe it is possible that with future development a DC emulator could run on a XBox fairly well.  

They only worked on the project for 3 months.  Kind of makes you wonder what all the other dc emulator developers have been doing for the last 5 years...  

I hate it when people say that certain types of emulation are impossible and will never happen, granted I really doubt GC or PS2 will happen on xbox tongue.gif  But DC and I remember very clearly with N64 emulation on PC everyone said it would never happen you would NEED to have a 64 bit computer.  If anyone even mentioned an N64 emulator in an emulation channel on IRC they would get flamed to hell as fake and a waste of time.  I fired up UltraHLE on a celeron 500mhz with a voodoo2 and was able to play super mario, so much for the 64 bit comptuer idea wink.gif  

Anyway I just wanted to give a heads up about DC emulation if anyone really was interested.  I know its a sucky console but there are a few good games out there for it.

Most of the DC games dont interest me very much, only a few that I really like.  It was a really well made console though with pc connections and an internet connection.  The ability to run emus and web browse on that was great.  I just never really got into it much.

Hi,

I'm wonder what the best emu's for N64, Megadrive, SNES, Gameboy and GBA?

I currently have DGEN for the Megadrive, Snes9x for the SNES and UltraHLE port for the N64, Are there better ones?

Also are there any decent PS1 emulators around?

I'm only looking for names, I'll find the files myself.

Thanks

If the XBOX can emulate the Playstation 1, it "shouldn't" have any problems emulating the 3DO system.  But not being an emulator programmer I would not be able to base this on fact.  I do know that there is one 3D0 emulator being made for the PC but I have not checked it out yet.  I was one of the few people that bought a 3DO when it first came out, it has a few games worth playing on it and the only reason I sold it was to pay a phone bill from back then, AOL 1.0 1994 no local access #.. first time on internet = huge bill!   Yeah it would be bad ass to have 3DO emulated on the XBOX, just for that fact that the old 3DO hardware is hard to find in good condition i've been wanting to buy one from ebay in the past but knowning how easily cd-rom lasers get fucked up i'm affraid i'd get a lemon.    :ph34r:

I wouldn't go as far as saying that Xboy Advance is the best GBC emulator.  Gnuboy is at least just as accurate, although without a fancy GUI.  It does output GBx roms with a correct aspect ratio, for one, whereas XBA makes you adjust the screen manually for every game.

Also, FBAxxx is probably a more complete/up-to-date emulator than FBAx.

 Since I ported both of these projects, I can voice-in without sounding like I'm tooting my own horn...

Gnuboy is not as accurate as XBoyAdvance.  Furthermore, XBoyAdvance has a lot more features than Gnuboy - for instance, system-link capabilities as well as the numerous niceties that the front-end offers (auto-fire, multiple save states, autoloading save states, etc, etc.)  There is absolutely no compelling reason to use Gnuboy over XBoyAdvance.

i see what ur sayin but the only dc emulator out there to play commercial games is chankast and its requirements are enogh to swallow an xbox
Required:
Athlon XP 2GHz / P4 2.6 GHz
512 MB
DirectX 8 3D Accelerator

Recommended:
Athlon 64 3400+ / P4 3.4 GHz
1024 MB
DirectX 9 3D Accelerator

so dont think its gonna really ever be emulated cause it will take a lot of customizing and tweaking to even run like crap if it were emulated....

but maybe when the xbox2 comes out whel see this as a reality

PCSX2 will probably run on gentoox fine (if you don't mind getting less than 1fps).

Not useful but PS2 emulation is probbably as close as it's going to get to the xbox already.

As a side note someone has actually booted osx on a quadra using pearpc so nothing would surprise me anymore. (There's a saturn emu for the DC it runs slow as hell and can barely run the bios but it does work)

no one wants to play shitty old games, we like to play good old games. Many of the older games are better than most of the games that come out today. Does that answer your question? Stick to forums that hold your interest. If emulation doesnt, then you dont belong here.

There is a pinned topic at the top of this forum with the subject:

The Great Xbox Emulation Answer Thread
Before you post a question check here first.

If you would have went to that thread first and read it, you would have found the hyperlink for Best Emulators For Xbox which is an up to date list of all the lastest and greatest emulators for each system

I only point this out because I can almost guess your next question; "where can I get the emulators?" which is also covered in The Great Xbox Emulation Answer Thread as is many other questions you may have

Hi,

I'm wonder what the best emu's for N64, Megadrive, SNES, Gameboy and GBA?

I currently have DGEN for the Megadrive, Snes9x for the SNES and UltraHLE port for the N64, Are there better ones?

Also are there any decent PS1 emulators around?

I'm only looking for names, I'll find the files myself.

Thanks

Amiga 500 - uaex
Only Amiga emulator available on the Xbox.

Arcade - MAMEoX
This is where you'll see alot of disagreement.  While I agree for the most part with the ease of use of Mame-X compared to Mameox, Mameox uses the more recent build of the MAME code, supports more arcade software, and is generally more stable.  Shadowland had also pointed out that some sidescrolling raster-based games seem to run smoother on mame-x, but I couldn't see it.  MameoX also has better support of Midway games like Smash TV and Mortal Kombat 2, and plays vector-based games like Tempest more accurately.

Atari 2600 - Z26
Better compatibility than Stella, and soon to be updated with Xports
recent menu.

Atari ST - WinSTon
Currently the only Atari ST emulator on Xbox, and likely to be updated with Xports recent menu.

Gameboy Color/Gameboy Advance - XboyAdvance
Great GBA emulator that also emulates GBC games.  Plays games fullscreen, and has good speed, outside the graphically intensive games like Tony Hawk, and Ecks vs. Sever.   GBC games are flawless.  Quite recommended.

Genesis/Sega CD - either Xenesis or NeoGenesis
Both of these are excellent.  NeoGenesis uses Xport's rediculously configurable menu, and has great compatibility.  Xenesis also runs most Genesis and Sega CD games wonderfully, and some people view Carcharius' menu as being easier to use than Xports.

Master System - SMSplus
Wonderful menu, exceptional compatibility.  It doesn't emulate the FM sound found in japanese Master Systems, but other than that, this is great stuff.

Neo Geo - Kawa-X
Absolutely the best Neo Geo emu on Xbox.  With the capability of playing the majority of Neo games almost flawlessly, AND being able to play Capcom's CPS 1 and CPS 2 arcade software, this is an essential emulator for your Xbox.

Nintendo Entertainment System FCE Ultra
Using a lovely Super Mario Bros 2 theme for the menu, this is one of the best NES emulators out there, for either PC or console.  It has much better compatibility than Nester, and supports MANY features like savestates, and screenshots.  Other than a lack of lightgun support, this is as close as you're going to get without getting the original console.

Nintendo 64 - Surreal 64
Surreal 64 combines UltraHLE, Project 64 and 1964 into one emulator. It is currently the best solution to Nintendo 64 emulation on the xbox.

Playstation - PCSXbox
The only Playstation emulator available on Xbox.

Super Nintendo - xSNES9x
One of the original emus on the system, and still one of the best.  With a high level of compatibility, gorgeous GUI, and pending update, Its the SNES emu of choice.  Just don't play it on a progressive scan TV...

Turbografx-16/CD - Hugo
Also recently updated sporting a new interface, this is really the only TG-16 emu on the Xbox, not including the earlier versions ported by the same coder.  While the original emu that this is ported from doesn't have the best of compatibility, it has excellent speed, and plays both "iso'ed", and original Turbo CDs fairly well.

I'd also like to mention that Final Burn is also a wonderful CPS 1/CPS 2 emulator, that plays some great shooters that neither Mameox nor Kawa-X emulates, such as Guwange, and Esp Ra De.  Definitely worth checking out.

Nintendo 64 UltraXLE
The main reason why I'll agree with this being the better N64 emulator (right now), is that for the few games that it emulates (Mario 64, Mario Kart, Wave Race), it emulates them well. PJ64 emulates a far larger amount of games, but most are too glitchy for my liking.  This will probably change when the emulators are updated.

I'll help list some others.

AdamX - A Adam/Collecovision emulator.

BlissX - The best and only fully functional intellivision emulator.

DaphneX - The best and only Arcade Laser Disc emulation.

DoSXbox - A 286/386 emulator for the xbox. Based on DosBox.

FMSXBox - A MSX/MSX2/MSX2+ emulator  

KegsX  - a Apple IIgs/e/c/+ emulator.  

NeoPopX - Neo Geo Pocket emulator  

PJ64-X - While it has a much larger compatibility list, it plays only a average of 20% of N64 games really good. (UltraXLE probably plays about 2% of N64 games, but emulates near perfect.) Surreal 64 has been released now, and it combines PJ64-X, UltraXLE, and adds 1964 to it aswell, becoming the superior Nintendo 64 emulator.

SarienX - A Sierra AGI interpreter engine that will play many of the old Sierra adventure games including Leisure Suit Larry 1, Kings Quest 1, 2 and 3 and others.  

SC3x - A Sega SC-1000/3000 emulator

ScummVMx - A emulator for several classic point-and-click adventure games such as Monkey Island, Sam and Max, Full Throttle and Beneath a Steel Sky.

U64-X - A Killer instinct 1 and 2 emulator

Vice20X - A Vice20X is a Commodore VIC-20 emulator.  

Vice64X - A Commodore 64 emulator. (Lets not forget all the hardwork done on Frodo-x by DragonZ)

VicePETX - VicePETX is a Commodore PET emulator.  

WonderSwanX - A wonderswan emulator.

hrm...it think thats all of them.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO GAMECUBE, PS2, 3DO OR DREAMCAST EMULATORS FOR THE XBOX, NOR WILL THERE BE.

Just as a side-note - the original listing in this thread by MrJones is somewhat outdated.  SMSPlusX *does* have FM support.  FCEUltraX *does* have lightgun support.   All of my projects have been updated with the new UI.  

(Also, HUGO-X isn't the only PCE emulator for the XBox, but IMHO it's the better choice.  There are maybe one or two games that play on XPCE that do not play on HUGOX, but there are many, many more that play in HUGOX and not XPCE.  )

This thread no longer supports any commentary irrelevant to the topic. I will be sure to monitor and clean this thread up if it gets trash.

Please no "SO WAT IS TEH BEST ONE?" questions, or "does it have so and so feature?" If its by xport, its most likely to have all the features/UI he puts in his other works.

If you want to find out the features of a emu, download it and see. Or use the SEARCH feature.

This thread is to stay open for relevant material. Please submit corrections if any of the above is incorrect.

As of right now, there isn't any emulation for Polygame Master System hardware.  It would be really cool if they ported those games (especially Demon Front) to some of the home systems.  Hell, it would be nice if they even brought those games TO THE UK OR UNITED STATES ARCADES.  At least then there could be the possibility of exposure, so a fanbase that doesn't speak japanese could be built.

Who knows, maybe in a couple years there will be PGM drivers available for MAME or Final Burn.  Then we might see it on the Xbox.  But until then, you're just gonna hafta import the hardware and game.  Sucks too, because Demon Front is a fun (hard) game.  Its not Metal Slug 3, but it IS fun.

Well, I won't go too far into game collections n' stuff - this is more about emulation, than the actual arcade (and console) hardware.

Plus, when it comes to your personal collection, that's a shame that ya don't live in Minnesota.  I'd love to play some of those titles, and when the Neo gathering takes place in December, you'd definitely have some goods to bring to the table.

However, remember that there's always someone who will have a bigger collection than you.  As much as you brag about your collection, you didn't mention anything about owning a linked Daytona USA deluxe sitdown cab, or a Dance Dance Revolution cab, or a G-Loc cab.   Do you have an Area 51 standup with the lightguns?  A 2-screen 4-slot Neo mini sitdown unit?  How about that Namco Downhill Bike game?  I know folks who just have the money to spend $1000+ on one game.  Thats rediculous to me, and is the reason why I don't have an arcade "collection" anymore.  If I every want to play one of those cool import arcade games, well.... that's what rich friends are for. smile.gif
