I would like to change the installation path of google's new emulator, the installer does not give the option to and just slaps it on my main drive. Any workarounds for this?

Hello everyone!
I wrote a Xemu emulator guide to help anyone struggling with it. The emulator is still in its early development phase, so expect a handful of games not working well. Thankfully, you can check Xemu's official website for the compatibility list.

If you're interested, here's my guide.

I had been using PSX2 but was advised in another thread for epsxe is out of date.

As psx2 doesn't really work given my laptop specs, I figured I'd try a different ps 2 emulator with perhaps better outcome?

PSX 2 worked for resident evil 4 but anything more demanding was NA.

Duckstation was the recommended epsxe replacement; psx2 replacement is..... ?

i finally got melonds to run at 60+ fps on my lower end surface pro laptop while playing pokemon, which are games known for having low fps when emulated. heres what i did:

config > emu settings > cpu > enable JIT compiler (makes the game run wayyy faster)

config > video settings > 3D renderer > openGL (required for touch input to not crash the emulator)

config > uncheck “cap framerate” (removes the arbitrary framerate cap and makes the game run faster, makes the framerate kinda inconsistant however)

this one doesnt make the game run faster just improves the video quality:

config > video settings > internal resolution > 2x native (increases resolution to match a larger screen and makes the game look a lot better)(this setting can cause a bit of slowdown)

i just wanted to share bc i know a lot of people have issues getting nds games to run at full speed, hope this helps!

I've been working on a project called RomHackPatcher after getting into ROM hacks and realizing how messy the whole process can be.

Finding a cool ROM hack is usually the easy part. Then you have to figure out which exact revision of the original game it expects, check hashes, download the correct patch, figure out whether it's IPS/BPS/xdelta/etc., find a compatible patcher, and hope everything matches.

I wanted to make that process much simpler:

Drop your ROM → Find compatible hacks → Patch → Play

https://romhackpatcher.com/

The main idea is that you give the site a ROM you legally own, and RomHackPatcher identifies it locally using CRC32, MD5, SHA-1, and file size.

It then shows the ROM hacks available for that game and which ones are actually compatible with your specific ROM/revision.

If the ROM matches, you can apply the patch directly in your browser.

Your ROM is never uploaded to my server. Identification and patching are performed locally on your device.

What it currently supports

RomHackPatcher can apply:

• IPS

• BPS

• UPS

• APS

• RUP

• PPF

• BDF / BSDiff

• MOD

• xdelta / VCDIFF

I've also added PS2 xdelta support, including streamed patching for large ISO files, so large files don't need to be uploaded to a server just to apply a patch.

It's also becoming a ROM hack database/community

The project started as just a patcher, but I've been expanding it so ROM hack creators and players can use it as a central place for hacks.

You can now:

• Browse and search ROM hacks

• See which hacks are compatible with the ROM you have

• Patch compatible hacks directly in your browser

• See the required ROM CRC32 when your ROM isn't compatible

• Comment on ROM hacks

• Rate hacks from 1–5 stars

• Follow hacks and get notified when they receive updates or new versions

• Create a profile with a custom avatar

• Upload your own ROM hack patches

• Publish new versions of your hack

• Add screenshots, GIFs, and a cover image

• Add other users as maintainers

• Claim an existing hack if you're its original creator

ROM files themselves cannot be uploaded. Community uploads are for patch files only.

The creator/maintainer side is something I'm particularly interested in developing further. Instead of a ROM hack being a static entry that eventually becomes outdated, creators can maintain their own page and publish new patch versions directly. (Like itch.io)

I've already added a large number of hacks to the database.

The whole thing is free to use. There's an optional donation page to help with hosting costs, but none of the patching or community functionality is paywalled.

It's still a relatively new project, so I'd really appreciate feedback from people who are into emulation and ROM hacking.

I'm especially interested in hearing about weird patches or ROM revisions that don't work correctly, formats/systems you'd like supported, and features that would make finding and applying ROM hacks easier.

The Darkness (2007) is one of those games I’ve always thought deserved a proper PC release, so I decided to work on one myself.

I’ve been developing Estacado, an unofficial fan-made recompilation of the original Xbox 360 version. Instead of running the game through an emulator, the Xbox 360 code is statically recompiled into a native Windows application using XenonRecomp and ReXGlue.

The goal is to preserve the original game while giving it the kind of PC features it never had:

• 60 FPS, high-refresh-rate and uncapped options

• Higher internal resolutions

• Native keyboard and mouse support

• Controller support

• Adjustable FOV

• Experimental ultrawide support

• Graphics and post-processing options

• HD texture pack support

It's still a pre-release and there are bugs and areas that need more testing, but I'm actively working on improving stability, compatibility and the overall PC experience.

If anyone is interested in trying it out, the project is available here:

https://github.com/invinceble55-wq/Estacado

You'll need your own legally obtained copy of the supported Xbox 360 version. No game files are included.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially if you try it on different hardware.

Never knew downsampling is possible on DuckStation. Together with PGXP, this is probably the best way to remaster your Playstation 1 games without sacrificing the original look and feel that's usually lost whenever other companies remaster even their own games.

I was looking as PCSX4 but I found Reddit posts that were calling it a POS. I wanted to play ghost of Tsushima without having to buy it on PC again since I have the original disc.

Follow up question: what disc drive do you guys recommend? My desktop doesn’t have a disc drive and I was looking at USB ones but I’m not sure if those are viable.
