About the lack of a second analog stick on the PSP: With an emulator, you're not limited to using the controls the way they are on the original console. You can remap them to whatever you want. PPSSPP is great in this respect in that it allows you to assign multiple real controls to the emulated controls. In other words, if a game uses the shoulder buttons to turn the camera, there's nothing stopping you from adding the right analog stick on your controller as an additional input for the L/R buttons, so that when you move the right stick, it thinks you pressed those buttons. If a game uses the four face buttons to control a camera, assign the four directions of the right stick to them. I haven't kept up with PPSSPP development because I have an old computer and can't run the latest versions, but the last time I tried this, it worked, but wasn't very good as the authors never anticipated anyone mapping buttons to an analog control. They MAY have improved this in the latest versions. In any case, it's worth a try. Similarly, if you get annoyed at games where you push the stick right and the camera moves left, just reverse the directions in the control mapping. ePSXe has a control setting for a NeGcon controller. I don't have a NegCon, so I mapped the twist function to the analog stick, then I was able to have analog control in games that only support the NeGcon.

Good news! DuckStation has resumed development for a while. Connor, the original dev, has continued reviewing PRs and also committing new code himself. 🙂

Great video, thank you! MAME and RetroArch can be intimidating at first because they have many settings, but once you get used to them, they are very practical!

This is a life-changing video. In a good way. Thank you.

Yuzu and Ryujjinx should just combine to create 99% compatibility and the other 1% of games play in a way that is at least enjoyable.

Glad you back

Very good and informative! Nice work! Thanks!

I am using retroarch and mame for anything pre ps2/xbox era [apart from scummvm], then the standalones for ps2/xbox, ps3 . Highly recommend launchbox to manage everything and have all your emulated games in one place with all the artwork in a steam like format and all the different platforms separated into sections for easy navigation.

What this video is way better than other videos is that you show the requirements and details about the emulators

A little bit surprised to not hear about Citra for the 3DS. I tested it twice and looks gorgeous, way better graphics than the OG 3DS and isn't hard to use.

Nice man😊

legend bud pure legend love your channel.

hello, thanks for good list, a little question, what is the game when you talked about PSP ?

I had a problem setting up RetroArch. it's still on my computer. I just don't deal with it. I have other emulators that are stand alone. NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis are my oldest emulators. I grew up on those systems and games.

Very helpful, thank you 🙏

Thanks dude, been wondering for what emulator I should use for ps3 and Xbox original games 👍

I want using ps2 controller on retro arch but it somehow cant read the d-pad not the other buttons that responsible to make actions. Can i use other controller that would actually work?

Appreciate you 👍🏽

I actually didn’t realize Xenia works with original Xbox games. I’ve tried emulating it before using xemu but it was clunky and confusing. Gonna try that later today. Nice video!

I build a mini PC nuc with Batocera and haven't looked back for being able to play all my classic console game "lie-berry" 😅

Vry well thought out and I agree with most of your choices... as an old hand in gaming I still think retro-arch sucks big time. I just love the Nintendo Gameboy Color, so I'll give a shout out to BGB... Liked and Subbed!

I'm using yuzu and I am definitely impressed.. That it has no lags.. Using it on my legion go. ❤

Hi. Great job man. Does anyone know If IT is possible to play Yuzu with a standard xbox.controller for PC. Or any PC controller in general? Ty

Keep up the good work

I have the PS2 and Dolphin emulators on my laptop. They're both really great.

I do approve of this list of emulators thanks 🙏 for the video🎉

I like to use an emulator called Drastic it's a good Nintendo DS emulator that can be played on a phone or tablet but also offers the option to add cheats to games for example in you play any DS Pokèmon game you can activate the cheat that gives you 100% catch rate

Nice a handy guide video to the scene especially beginners although I think that the mini retro consoles out there are cheap for what they are ..... but on the other hand they are rubbish especially as they only usually use the cheap ass android CPUs inside and can only managed a soft looking 720p. The PC is they way to go or perhaps a top end Android or Pi board build methinks

At 2:13 you mention this '' The OG Xbox will run with no problems on this emulator.'' Questions: Can Xenia run the original Xbox games from 2001 onwards? Does it have backwards compatibility? I thought you need Cxbx-Reloaded and XEMU emulator to run Original Xbox Games?

What would you recommend for N64 games? I keep seeing mixed reviews on Project64 so I'm not sure what to think

Pretty damn good list. Heard there’s a guy that does great tutorials for these emulators…now if I can only remember his name🤔

Xenia. Glad to see it.

My only problem with yuzu is that its still a bit unstable but im sure its only going to get better

In no world should Dolphin be ranked lower than number 1 on any list. It is the de facto gold standard for any emulator.

I am surprised that you did not mention NES, SNES, and GBA emulators. For NES I use MESSEN. It has been hailed as the best NES emulator out there. Great for ROM hacking, has the best Famicom Disk emulation, an extremely easy-to-use UI, and my favorite part is that it has an extensive list of GG codes as part of the emulator, but you can add more to the game you are playing or add codes to a game that is not on the list. I personally feel the same way about MESSEN-S. The SNES emulator. This emulator offers all of the same features as its MESSEN counterpart. As for a GBA emulator, it is hard for me to choose just one because of all of the various offerings each one has. Is there anyone out there that has a favorite one that offers full compatibility for GB, GBC, and GBA? Please let me know.

I have one of thoes hand held emulator devices. It works great for nearly all the gameboy games. But it's awful at playing psp games. I do have the psvita mabey it would be worth it to get customer fermware on it to play the psp games ibused to have. I'm trying to use my current 10th gen i5 computer to play my xbox,xbox360,ps2,ps3 games. That would help downsize the space needed on my shelfs.

Flycast over Redream, Redream doesn't support a lot of games. Also Ryujink is better than YUZU for switch. Both alternate options require more work though. Great list though

What game was in the background of the duck station section?

Great video, MelonDS The best! (:

Please help me I can't unzip the BIOS file for PS1 emulator WinRAR and 7zip will read the archive after I unzip it it doesn't turn into a BIOS file it stays rar compressed and it says operation is broken when I try to unzip and add to emulator

Great video! But yes, conservation is capital!

My personal favorite is one called retro classics

I actually like Ryujinx more over Yuzu. The switch games that I pick actually works on Ryujinx but not for Yuzu. I am gonna try out Xenia! I really want to play some 360 games.

I prefer standalones to something like RetroArch but my Sega Genesis emulator (Kega Fusion) stopped working for some unknown reason so I may have to bite the bullet.

About ppsspp not having right analog stick... bro you are emulating, just map l1 and r1 to right analog on your pad if you like

I do think Cemu and RPCS3 are better suitable to be in this list compared to Xenia because of their compatibility and customizability with games.

Where do you get the games from?

can someone explain how to run yuzuu? ive got both prod and tittle key, what now?

I remember Bleem for PlayStation back in the day

Please i need graphic setting for RETRARCH becoz graphics is too low comparing the same game on PPSSPP

xenia requirements with pentium 4? I think its wrong These should be the real requirements: Recommended: OS: Windows 10+ x64 CPU: 4th generation or later i5/i7 64-bit x86 processor with AVX(2) support You can check with CPU-Z GPU: GTX 980 Ti or later You can check with GPU-Z RAM: 6GB or more Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 Minimum: OS: Windows 7+ x64 (Linux/macOS not natively supported) Windows

What Dreamcast game is that you are playing?

Thanks a lot for great info. Man! Side by side, do tell that which games are FREE or we have to buy them first from their certified developers?

Desmume rocks No$gba !!!! For the Dreamcast i use both Redream and Demul (the graphics and audio sound are almost perfect on it) but it require a powerful PC to run it smoothly. I'll never let KegaFusion for my genesis games....

For Switch emulators, as long as you actually own the hardware, and the games you're emulating, then I fail to see what the issue is.

Thanks!

Can you play online with call of duty on any of these emulators

Can i use a ps4 controller for xenia

Thank you

I play Yuzu on my pic. I get my roms from eggsim and it plays Zelda like a champ. Of course most Mario games also run perfectly such as Mario Kart 8.

Surprised that Xenia made it onto the list rather than Cemu. I get it's personal choice so that's all cool.

snes9x is pretty solid

dont know if I should ask this but, I have yuzu on my pc but I'm having a really hard time finding roms for switch games, does anybody know a good site or discord?

2:16 didn’t know Xenia was ALSO a OG Xbox emulator too.. I’ve been using XEMU for OG Xbox…

i find Retroarch a very good emulator for 64 bit and above systems, you get cores and can run multiple consoles all on one emulator, not hard to setup either.

I have all these emulators except the Xbox Every one of them plays perfectly on my Google pixel. 7

The game was working but after I closed it , I cicked it open again said crucial. I'm on i5 / 3050 rtx

what games i can get for mac in 2023?

Emulation is the way to go

Any reason you ranked xenia over rpcs3? Does it have better compatibility?

Dose it have wwf superstars arcade game

I can never get wwe games to work properly on RPCS3.

question for anyone who could help me. I have tried to run Xenia two different times. Everything worked, booted GTA IV BOGT and shortly after playing it blue screened my pc and I have a nice gaminc pc. What is the problem?

what about flycast?

The problem is getting REAL roms for most of those emulators. (RPCS 3 , XENIA, YUZU and some of MAME).

Hey, where's rpcs3 and cemu ???

I would also mention Cemu as another great emulator, even though - let's be real - most people who have it only have it for BOTW :P

Seems like my pc will overkill this emulator. My build is 12 gen i9 cpu, 128 gb ram, rtx 4090 gpu, windows 10,2 tb ssd, 4 tb hdd.

Welp, I fixed what was wrong with my Redream. It wasn't because my iGPU was corrupted. It was because i had to clean out my Redream cache. So good bye Flycast & Demul. & Helloooh Redream~! Redream is easily one of the best Dreamcast emulators hands down.

Number one should be Cemu, Wii U brought us one of the best games of all time "The Legend of Zelda Breath of the wild". And the graphics hacks made the game a lot better.

Imma need a website to download these games

No CEMU?? Please try some WII U games

Wat bout Winlator?

So Xenia can run Xbox original games and not just xbox 360 right?

No Citra?

Mame does more than just Arcades btw.. also, lmfao there's an emulator called ppsspp? (EDIT: i actually like how it has its own Homebrew library)

Which emulator do you recommend for N64 games?

i agree with the ps3 emulation i dont get great results at all and my pc is beefy

Whats a lieberry? 🤔

Or Game-BasePrime when I'm on my phone

4:53 does anyone know that name of the game, I’ll really appreciate it

Any suggestions for Saturn?

To be fair, Retroarch shouldn't be on the list since it's a *Frontend* for emulators and not an emulator in itself.

2:14 Okay BRO. Hold up. Definitely isn't as smooth as you describe even on a good rig. Xenia can be a pain in the ass.

im still strugglin to get as bios file coz they all look like viruses and whatever

Cemu 1.9, Dolphin, pcsx2, rpcs3, ppsspp, vita3k, flycast, demul, saturne, yabasashiro, desmume, duckstation, epsxe 1.6/1.9, yuzu, citra, xenia, fusion, bsnes, gens, ...

Rcpcs3, citra

rpcs3 was left behind 😮

is there a general emulator that works for everything?

xenia can NOT run xbox original please ignore that part! only XBLA and xbox360
