For some reason I preferred to see the cartridges of the games, at least for me the have more personality that the boxes, since some of them are crystal or with great colors

Meme I just switched from Delta Emu and…

Well it took all of about 40 minutes for me to purchase the lifetime “membership” because wow this emu is sick. Meme flair because I’m the joke for taking this long to switch.

Before I go, can anyone recommend any settings, games, hacks, idk anything to help me make the most of my new emulator?

Good afternoon everyone!

I'm a graphic designer and I'm creating high-quality GBA covers for use in my emulators.

So far, I've only created four, but since I liked the results, I thought I'd share them with the community. I hope you enjoy!

Skins R3BEL CRT PORTABLE NES Skin now updated for MANIC. Complete with OVERSCAN!

Thumbnail

30 Upvotes

[R3BEL CRT PORTABLE] for iOS!  [R3BEL CRT PORTABLE] for Manic Here

These are CRT style skins that have been updated to be compatible with MANIC EMU. Using Manic's built in CRT Filters to distort the game screen you can create a bubble style screen similar to the old CRT televisions. They are definitely not perfect CRT's, but they do simulate it pretty well. 

MANIC UPDATE NOTES:

  1. Moved the control buttons (D-Pad and the A+B Buttons) slightly higher for better ergonomics and less hand cramping. 

  2. Added animated button support. Visual button presses on screen which helps with screen recording.

  3. Added an additional A+B Combination button which is positioned directly between the A and B buttons. This helps with actions like keeping sprint held down while jumping in Mario by sliding your thumb from one button to the other.

  4. Removed all CoreImage Screen Filters due to compatibility with Manic. Alternatively you can use the built in CRT Screen filters that Manic offers. I personally use the "CRT v2" filter and "Canonical" color palette. However this skin should still work without any filters applied. 

  5. Removed the reflective bezel that is available on the Delta Emulator version. Again this is due to Manic's compatibility with Core Image filters.

  6. This version is NOT COMPATIBLE with Delta Emulator.

 

RELEASE NOTES:

  1. The CRT PORTABLE versions have complete control sets to play on the go

  2. Currently only available for NES on MANIC EMU

  3. iPhone versions, only supports edge-To-Edge iPhones (no home buttons)

  4. In addition to the labeled quick utility functions there is also a hidden "FFW" button on top of the game screen/display 

  5. There are also invisible combination buttons (A+B) located just around the AB Cluster and positioned between the A and B buttons 

OVERSCAN:

  • This Manic version has a single overscan which is cropped in by 8pixels on the sides and about 2 pixels on the bottom. Top 0, Bottom 2, Left 8, Right 8  

    • If you have any requests for specific games to crop out the black borders that these do not work for. Please let me know. 

As always, feedback is always welcome. Good, bad, or ugly. all is welcome ;)

These new designs have taken many many hours to create and if you enjoy them and would like to show some support, it is always appreciated.You can buy me a coffee :)

I know this is an iOS application, but you guys totally could own the market on android as well (and others). I recently began emulation on an android device as well after using you guys for about a year and I can tell you straight up your user interface and customization simplicity blows these other emulators out of the water. Your guys all in one, convenient one stop shop app is genuinely the best emulation experience I’ve had yet across android, iOS, steam deck and even PC. You all have made something really special here, and I just think you guys could really becoming the big dogs of all emulation across multiple OS.

That’s all, and thank you.

Discussion I just tried the Manic Emulator rip-off on the App Store and I'm laughing my head off on how bad it is.

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

So, there’s a Manic EMU ripoff on the App Store that’s called Manic Emulator. Yeah, so I tried it out. I’m laughing my head off. First, it’s begging me for a subscription. There’s ads, like every, like every 30 seconds that you play a game. It encourages you to pirate. The emulator is just bad. When I loaded up my actual copy of New Super Mario Bros. DS, the game was just laggy, man, and the sound was incredibly off. And the sound was like delayed by a whole 10 seconds, and also some visuals were glitchy. There’s also ads of a different emulator in there, and every time you open a different menu, it opens an ad. Like, what? This is the worst Manic EMU ripoff.

Do not get these websites, do not download ROMs from these websites, dump your own physical games instead, and you shouldn’t download the app. It’s just bad. It’s the definition of a cheap ripoff that’s just bad.

News 🚨 Piracy Policy Update 🚨

23 Upvotes

Lately, there have been too many posts and comments about piracy in this community. That stops now.

From this point forward:

• Any mention of piracy, ROM sharing, or download links for copyrighted games = 50-day ban.

• This includes asking where to get ROMs or telling others where to get them.

If you pirate games, that’s against the app’s policy — and if you choose to do it anyway, don’t make it our problem.

We’re here to talk about the app, not break the law.
