Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

RetroArch for most stuff. The main devs aren't good people but the tech of it is good, and most of the cores are by other people than the main devs. Dolphin standalone for GC and Wii. PPSSPP standalone for PSP. Both of those don't run well through retroarch
Anything I'm not already familiar with in terms of what retroarch core to use, I'll check https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page
That's the wiki for 4chans ongoing emulation threads.
What makes the devs of RetroArch bad people?
If I recall correctly they had involvement with the harassment the drove byuu (another emulator dev) to suicide. There was also some supposed harassment of the Duckstation dev, and potentially some license violation when they forked Duckstation to make the "Swanstation" core. Ah, found the weird obsessed wordpress site, and it looks like most of the shit was around a decade ago, so I guess it's not really even worth mentioning anymore.
I intentionally try to stay away from emulator dev drama. It takes a certain type of person to develop these things and they pretty frequently aren't in a good headspace and aren't particularly good at interacting with other people.
damnit not another one!!!
whyyyyyyyyyyy
Honestly curious, what makes them bad?
It's almost like it doesn't matter and you should just use software you want to use
The android app of retroarch is buggy and very un-user-friendly
Same. I dislike the frontend but its very feature rich and I suppose I don't hate it enough to change. This covers me for almost every system.
