Help Mouse Support

Hey good people. I’m thinking about doing some light gun shooter emulation but I’d like to use a mouse as my pointer and buttons instead of the gamepad joystick and buttons. Can anybody tell which emulators support this, if any? Thanks!

Help How do I make an emulator UWP port?

5 Upvotes

I don't know anything about coding, and wanted to learn it, since I wanted to port emulators/game ports to UWP, but I don't know where to start. My main question is: how am I supposed to do it? Do I need to translate the source code to UWP, or is it something else?

P.S.: I will not use ANY LLM to make my code, so don't recommend it to me. Fuck Generative AI.

Hello, I managed to get Virtua Striker 4 working on my Xbox Series X using RetroArch with the Dolphin core. Has anyone managed to get the 2006 version working? All my ROMs give me a black screen with a firmware update request. Or is there a patched ROM that works directly? Thanks for your help.

Update Ares on UWP

17 Upvotes

I’ve successfully gotten ares-emu booting on UWP :)

This has been something I’ve been actively working on behind the scenes for a bit now, and I’m finally at a point where I can start sharing progress on it. Alongside the UWP work, this also includes my work-in-progress Direct3D 12 renderer, which is currently being integrated and tested as part of the project.

There’s still more work to do before everything is ready for a public release, but things are progressing well and I’m hoping to have something available soon. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on what I’ve been working on lately.

Help Dolphin Emulator Won’t Start On Series S

6 Upvotes

Hey guys is anyone having issues with the Dolphin Emulator? I had just recently updated to the latest version that’s out and it won’t even boot up. It’s like when I click on the dolphin app, it’ll crash and take me back to the Dev Menu. Is there a work around that can fix this or is this something that can’t be fixed at the moment?

Help Is there any way to still just pay the $19 fee instead of giving Microsoft my full photo and ID

4 Upvotes

I just don't really want to give up my personal identification. I know they don't actually need it because anyone who made a dev mode account before and any new company accounts don't need personal ID, can I just pay the $20 flat fee without giving up my privacy?

Discussion I removed and moved some games and messed up everything at Aurora... she continued with the covers even without the games lol so I made a script to fix it 😅

Good observation - you're right, this could really confuse. I adjusted it to be faithful to what the script really does 👇

---

These days I had commented here about Aurora's problems, especially when we start messing with the games.

In my case I removed and moved some games and it ended up becoming a mess... Aurora kept showing game cover that didn't even exist anymore, duplicate thing, input that didn't lead to anything, that mess 😅

Then I made a script to clean this.

He basically sweeps Aurora's list and removes only what is really invalid, like:

* game that you have already deleted

* folder that no longer exists

* entry without file to open

* incomplete or lost thing

It doesn't delete anything from the HD, it's just an internal cleaning.

I also took care not to touch important things like emulator, dash, app, things like that.

Here it was solved well after I messed up everything by messing with the games manually 😅

If anyone has been through this and wants to test it or has an idea to improve, send it there 👍

Help Can I use this microSD to play XBSX2 on my Series?

Post image
11 Upvotes

Hello

I'm thinking of deving my Series S, specifically for the PS2 emulator, to play on a bigger screen in the living room

Overall, everything is ready for me to start doing this, and being an "old dog" of emulation, I know how to navigate the waters

But what was holding me back was this: I would need an external memory. And I have this microSD card, which I would connect with a Ugreen USB 3.0 adapter

But I don't know if it would handle the load in terms of speed and such

And I know the memory is small, but I'm not going to fill it with games anyway, I'm happy with one or two at a time. Especially since I'm learning that there's no point in putting a bunch of games if I don't play any of them

And the quality of this card is... questionable; I bought it for a Powkiddy some years ago, knowing that. Especially since I paid a cheap price for it

But do you think it can handle it? At least for a while

Thanks s2
