Top stuff bro. Always great to see your videos pop up on my feed.

You’re a good man for this , your videos are very helpful and straight to the point and you have opened a lot of peoples eyes to the awesomeness of emulation.

Dude, you are the man. I have been fooling with emulation for a few years, but mostly the older stuff. (Pre 2000). However recently I started to get into later stuff like XBox, Wii, and PS2 and beyond. I have found your videos to be indespensible. You are so knowledable. Your videos have been so easy to follow, and for a newbie like me, extremely helpful. I thank you for your all your work.

Man you don't have any idea how many people you are helping or have helped. If it weren't you i wouldn't be playing call of duty finest hour or older call of duty games and many more games. Thank you very much man. I wish you all the best

I Love this channel bro! keep sharing more power!

I respect you on the video...I have Dolphin on My S23 Ultra and ePSXe...had that for 7yrs #Respect

I love the way you explain in your Videos. When a new video drops I'll watch it regardless if I need to know more about the subject or not. Hooe you're doing well!

I was waiting for this video. You make the best emulation content

Very helpful for beginers who's trying to get into retro gaming. Thanks man

Thank you for the rundown!

Man, what a great video and great tips. Thank you for that.

Thank you for making this. There is a lot of games and consoles I could never buy now and this helps a lot bud

The work up put in to make this video I appreciate it. Stay safe.

Man , your awesome, thanks for all this great work and advice 💪🏻♥️

Thank you for the mich informative content on Emulators! I have only recently gotten into emulation and your channel has helped a ton! One question though, would you recommend Simple 64 at all ?

All this helps so much just getting into the emulating game now there's so much to know better list the community helps so much

All in all a good video. I have a little suggestion: Make some categories - like the best in the term of simplicity, accuracy and/or extra features. 👍

Great video brother. Really ggod stuff.

Excellent brother thanks as always! I started off with the Atari's a thousand years ago🤪

great video. you just sum up all of those emulators that are available out there to be choose. I started to explore this kind of stuffs back there when I was a kid. because that I cannot afford some consoles out there. Lol

My man. Thank you for the amazing content. I'm so grateful I found your channel 🙏

Great video! Thank you

Great video! Now I have some new emulators to try!

I love this channel.

Oh man, what a useful video, thank you!!!

awesome!! i didnt know about some of these older consoles....

Wow...!!! Great video brother, i just built a gaming pc, now just time to load all the emulators, thanks brother....

I had the main ones, but with ur help I got the rest of them, and even found all the mednafen bios 😁

Really good video🔥, could you do commodore Amiga , not sure where to put kickstarts for retroarch32

Thanks for sharing!

Just wanted to give my thanks to you, to always put effort in your videos for us and help us the best ways, literally the best tutorials videos I've followed, always clear and easy to follow with good tips and because of you I can enjoy many many games, so again, a simple but huge thank you

The world of emulation opened up to me all thanks to you. Thanks for continuing the fight!

Great Video, thank you

Great List! Personally, I use Mesen-S for SNES Games.

Could you update the description with links to all of your reccomended emus? It can be tricky to find safe download sites for them!

Flycast is the better DC emulator. Trust me bro, once you get your hand on the Bios Files by sailing through the Seven Seas, Flycast is a breeze to use. Since it's open-source, you get each and every upscaling options available to you. from Texture Upscales, to Super Widescreen, you name it. Oh and it also emulates Sega Naomi arcade roms as well. And for NES, there's another emulator called Mesen. Which has texture replacement, that no other emulators offer. Using that feature, many people remastered classic NES games with 16bit Textures, and it's awesome. Love the video! Long live emulation

Thanks for the video, it is a good one. A few comments that may help: Vita3k's compatibility has improved a lot for almost a year, perhaps give it another go. As for N64 emulator I think RMG is where it's at now, sad to see you didn't even list it.

wow this is a great job 👍🏼👏🏼

Thnx for your hard work.. I'm using psp, ps1, ps2 emulaters on my phone they work just fine

Damn! Didn't know about the Dolphin Bar. Gotta Get me one of those! Thanks😁😁🤟🤟

Great video Sir, Salute

it would be great if you listed those games Great video keep going !

what is the name of the game in the intro? like a royal rumble street fight style?

Nice research done...good job 👏 👌

Everything up to PS1, I just switched to RetroArch so I can have uniform setups plus it lets me resize the screen on any individual game so I can get rid of black bars on a lot of SNES games that don't fill the screen (like Final Fight that you have showing at 3:38)

Thank you so much ✨

Please consider naming each segment in the video to ease the way we use the video to watch

Bro, I love your video but for N64 emulator, I recommend RMG (Rosalie's Mupen GUI). Project 64 was the best long time ago but It's not best anymore. I believe RMG is the best. even RetroArch's Mupen core is better than Project 64. thx for your hard work btw.

love this video also cemu has support linux aswell now

UrCasualGamer i have a question for you. if i run romstion though steam on a steam deck will it boot and play my games correctly?

Thanks for the list. For Nintendo DS how do you like to map the touch screen functions? On Steam Deck I'll just touch the screen, but on a monitor what are some ways you like? Do you use a mouse, the right analog stick, or have a good way to use a dual shock 4 or dual sense touch pad? I'm trying to set up the dual sense touch pad, but currently it's not that good. I can set the touch pad to function as a mouse (in Steam Input), but the sensitivity is wonky. I'm trying to get it to as close as 1:1 scale but haven't found any good info on it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Wich are the best graphic cards for emulation?Nvidia cards or Ati cards? Thanks in advance.😀

Love This Guy

Gotta add that for arcade titles especially fighting games there is fightcade where you can play online with rollback netcode for most of the games There is even an autoinstaller so ther e is no need to look for roms online

Not gonna lie I followed this exactly and using the same emulators now. Can confirm it's spot on with what's the best to run the roms

Would the emulators you recommend work on the rp4 pro hardware?

Question. Have tou used emulation station and will jt work with retro arch?

Great video, being a long time emulation layer - I love your videos - would like to colab with you at some time.

hey bro im from india im just a kid i recently got into emulators i love the content you made

Saved thanks

The one emulator that somehow keeps kicking my butt is MAME any tips and tricks for beginners? Id like to play The simpsons arcade, TNMNT, and some classi ones

Emulation is the way to go.

Crazy that Project 64 is still alive and kicking in 2024. Such a great emulator!

as a sega megadrive (thats what the european genesis was called) fan myself when im not using my real system i personally like to use blastem in retroarch as its aiming to be the most accurate megadrive emulator while still being simple to use

I like Kega Fusion and I used that emulator as early as 2005. Yeah it's a pretty old emulator but still good. zsnes is another old emulator but one of the first to run games well. I actually used to have it. Later on I switched to snes9x. I have Duckstation on my PC as well as PCSX2. Those are good emulators.

If you got a 7800x3D RCPS3 is fantastic because it uses the 3D V cache well

Youre doin the Lords work my good man

Thanks bro

GOOD STUFF 👍👍👍👍👍

ty king

Good list. I would only change a few. Nes - Mesen get Windows (Dev Build) or punes. N64 - simple64

tldr Atari 2600: Stella NES: Nestopia Sega Genesis: Kega Fusion Super Nintendo: SNES9x Sega Saturn: RetroArch (Beetle core) PlayStation: DuckStation Nintendo 64: Project 64 Dreamcast: Redream PlayStation 2: PCSX2 GameCube and Wii: Dolphin Original Xbox: CXBX-R Xbox 360: Xenia PlayStation 3: RPCS3 Wii U: Cemu Nintendo Switch: Ryujinx Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Gear: RetroArch Nintendo DS: MelonDS PSP: PPSSPP PS Vita: Vita3K Nintendo 3DS: Panda 3DS Classic arcade games: MAME PlayStation 4: FPS4 (in development)

I got redream, play on my x90j and cell phone. The picture is DARK. Anyone know a way to brighten it from redream? I bought the premium version. What an i doing wrong? I've read other people have had the same issue with the games just looking darker

Nintendo 64 Emulator Rosalie's Mupen GUI Mupen 64= Simple 64 Project 64 Retroarch Ares the other projects mentioned are old

Hello sir i always follow your video You are best

How do you guys setup Ryujinx emulator? It keeps crashing every time I play games especially Pokemon Sword. Thanks in advance

Mupen64 is not working properly for me? What do you guys recommend to emulate N64 for the PlayStation classic?

Sega Saturn. Guardian Heroes, is the side scrolling arcade goodness.

I'm surprised desmume still exists today. I used to play Pokémon B/W and B2/W2 with it when my DS Lite broke

does the xbox 360 emulator support a kinect?

Cemu is weird I got one game to work but when I repeat the same steps for other games it just doesn't appear.

Hey I’ve been looking into putting some money into a PC recently, and didn’t know what kind of specs I would need to run more demanding emulators such as the ones for PS3, Wii, Wii U, and Switch? I’ve been trying to research but haven’t had much luck finding any information. Edit: *run them smoothly (like 60fps+)

Am new to pc gaming and my first pc system is the steam deck wish i new how get classic games on it i have the requirements to get the games like emudeck retroarch etc just don’t know how download games on the system seems overwhelming help plz

Couple of things. One, Project 64 has a donation nag screen. Doesn't stop the functionality, but it is annoying. "Please donate to us(wait 10 seconds to hit okay to actually get to the emulator)". The second thing, PS2 has a third "emulator" you didn't mention in this video. RetroArch has a PS2 core made by PCSX2. And as you did RetroArch for the Sega Saturn, even though the core you chose was made by the same people who make a stand-alone emulator, I thought it was a bit strange to leave that out. I use EmuVR for my retro gaming(which is essentially a fancy graphics frontend for RetroArch that functions in VR). And the PCSX2 core is rather decent and plays all of the PS2 games I have access to rather well, if not perfectly. Still need a BIOS for it though.

I know Yuzu for the Switch emulation was "taken down", but did they do anything on the way out to make it stop working, like a forced update or something? Just curious. I didn't really look into this stuff at all...

Thank you

I just installed duckstation works awesome! On windows 10 i5 10th gen cpu

How the Heck does Mupen64 work? Everytime if i downloading Mupen64 from the Homepage, then i have in the Folder only some System Files but no exe. File.

I must admit 20 years I would of never entertained the thought of running emulators to play my games but these days and pcs being as powerful as they are and emulation being so good now I've gone the complete opposite direction I sold most of my collection a few years back and built a gaming pc and now I have every system and game I ever owned on there I love the way you can upscale older games especially old polygon games to run in much higher resolution and frame rates, then you have shaders which can make old Sprite based games look amazing, I do use retroarch with many cores as my main source for my systems its runs old systems very well, I only have 2 systems I run outside of retroarch and that is Yazu / Ryujinx Nintendo Switch and PCSX2, PS2 runs likes garbage in retroarch but the standalone emu is coming on leaps and bounds now especially with the nightly build version it's updated everyday with fixes and new bits, yup emulators are the way to go I love the fact i got everything in one place and done away with setting up consoles and sorting out wires its just there ready, I also play emulators using original console controller or I should say usb or wireless controllers that are faithful to the originals to get the feel like your really playing on original hardware.

I got a question for the xenia emulator every time I go into the game second later is a unhandled exception in xenia message then exits me out of the game does anyone know to fix this issue

Sega genesis was my favourite console, i remember the first time that i played Jurassic park and ecco the dolphin
