I literally just found out about this and I'm literally shocked. Like damn, that was quick.

Apparently there is a ps4 emulator too? Like what the fuck. I literally just googled that to be able to post that there still isn't one, yet somehow a current gen Nintendo one.

Emulation has come so far, it's crazy.

Also, note to mods: I'm not endorsing or using these emulators

It's funny in a way emulating older systems is harder because the hardware is completely alien and the assembly is all different and the code is missing or incomplete.

Nay, they do. I have already converted some compatriots to the cause...it is only a matter of time before nearly all of gamefaqs has played cyber shadow. You cannot fight this.

Functionality is questionable but they exist so now it's just a matter of time.

Ive tried the 3ds emulator on my phone, THAT one is questionable.

Basically unplayable... though maybe thats me being Danish and thus having to "Suffer" through Exynos, but still.

Dunno what you're talking about Drastic runs extremely well.

There's a citra port now as well but it's only barely functional

Theoretically, I'm pretty sure even cheaper phones can run gamecube games.

Uhh normal citra on the app store, or Citra mmj which you have to download off google(not on app store) but is the vastly superior one?

I know Citra mmj( the superior one) actually runs really great on new phones like an s22+

Damon ps2 has been on Android for years, even if it is very questionable, and there's Aethersx2 and Play!

But there's definitely atleast been Damonps2 in the past. Even if it's not the best choice now.

I wanna know the rules about talking about emulators too because I've had a topic I've wanted to bring up for a while and it involves those machines you see on Amazon from China that say they have "6000 games preloaded!"

I did a deep dive into these things and they are interesting but I'm afraid I'll get busted for talking about emulators. But Amazon has been selling them forever so Nintendo doesn't seem to care.

It depends on if someone is cucked enough to mark the topic and the mood of the mod who looks at the report at the time.

Emulators themselves are completely legal although it's a gray area on this site. But talking about ROMs/pirating/the Chinese knockoff will probably get you modded.

It's actually been way over stated. Only a very small handful of games work, usually those games have to be modified in such a way that they don't use the multi-core processing that PS3 did.

What are you taking about

I don't know about the second part but something like 2200 out of around 3200 ps3 games are fully playable emulated.

No, it's cool. To my understanding it's okay to post about emulators in general. After that the rules get tricky. Posting about using one is usually against the rules depending. But, the mods usually seem to air on the side of caution. After that point, it's kinda messy.

I don't have anything past PSX and DC as far as CD based games go.

Some games on ePSXe are annoying to set up.

I mean like the black lines and stuff.

And when I run a real disc it sounds like my HD it tearing it apart.

I've had some of them for like 20+ years too.

No you don't. You can buy used copies of the games. The companies don't get a penny of used game sales and it's still legal.
