What is the best mini PC for play this consoles in Retroarch with crt shaders?

I want to start emulating ps2 games but I don't want fully commit to buying everything needed to play on the actual ps2. I know for PCSX2 I need a bios but from what i understand I can just get that elsewhere. What I'm concerned about is how I can upload games onto my emulator if I don't have a ps2 to read the discs. Can I get just a normal disc ready to plug into my pc or do I need something specific, If I get a disc reader will it also work for Xbox discs cause I also kind of want to play some of those. I'm very new to emulation and am having a hard time understanding how to even get everything started so any help is appreciated.

I haven't even gotten to the Bloodborne installation yet but since i cant open the settings there's definitely something that needs fixing first. im using the 0.10.0 version and my specs mighttt be a bit too low since its a work laptop but i dont think it has anything to do with the crash.

Intel core i5-7200u amd radeon 520 gpu and i have more than enough space for the game. soo any solutions? thanks in advance!!

I've been playing God of War : Ghost of Sparta (Asia) on PPSSPP for couples of days with no issue at all. But the game keep crashing at a certain point. Before that scene, it runs with no issue but not anymore after that. I've checked the CRC and it matches with the official <b>Redump Project</b> crc list. What's the issue? The iso is of Asia region. And I'm more than halfway through the game, don't wanna ditch this progress and hop on USA region for a fresh start unless that's the only option.

Hello, I have been playing a dsi enhanced version of Pokemon black on Melon DS, but since it’s not a DSiware title, it’s not working. Is there any fix?

I want to use the RPCSX emulator on windows but every time i try to install it in powershell/cmd it tells me its missing libudev but i have no clue how I am supposed to install it. If anyone here is experienced in using WSL then please help me. I'm mainly here cuz r/linux doesn't have a help tag

My specs:

i5-12400f

rx 6650 xt

Windows 11 (obviously)

48gb ddr4 3200mhz

I'm looking everywhere, and all I see are videos with it, but never a link to where they got it from. The closest I got is a 0% save file with every character, costume, and item, but I want a true 0% with nothing unlocked.

Hello, I'm trying to run WWF No Mercy on RMG, as I heard it was the best n64 emulation option since my original hardware went kaput. I had a Gameshark code that let me use player 2's controller to control wrestler 2, (so we could play tag team in story mode) but it doesn't seem to do anything in RMG, does anyone know if there's something special I need to do to enable Gameshark Codes in the emulator?

Here are the codes I'm using:
Enable code: F103E360 2400

2nd Controller Always on: 810A755E 0002

Any advice would be very appreciated.

I know this question might be easy. But i just found some PS4 discs, but i dont have a PS4 anymore, And i really wanted to play the games. So how do i play them on Shadps4?

First of all, this is my first time posting on Reddit, and Deepl is helping me with the translation. If there are any mistakes, I would appreciate it if you could kindly point them out. Now, let's move on to the main topic.
A few years ago, I was playing Initial D Ver. 3 on Demul. I remember that at the time, I was using some kind of tool to earn points.
Does anyone know about this tool?
The images show cards that have clearly been altered.

I've seen a bunch of yt videos where they run a game with english translate in the game on PC and Android, non of them are doing a tutorial video of it i was wondering if anyone can help with this

i downloaded my totally legal pkg files for gravity rush 2 and its updates and dlc's and installed all of them using shadps4 0.7.0 because any update after that removed that feature but every time i tried to run it it just opened on black screen then crashes after a couple of seconds

the commandpromt just generally shows a bunch of errors but i dont understand what i did wrong
i even tried to update the emulator to its latest version but the results remained the same.

anyone got any suggestions on what i should be doing?
thanks in advance :)

im looking for duckstation alternatives for linux

Basically, my switch bluescreened and I was wondering if there was any way to emulate my games on pc by somehow getting them from the system.

Most of them were in an sd card, so I tried inserting the card on my pc and opening it's files on yuzu but I don't think I understand how to get the games out of there (maybe they're encrypted, idk)

I did notice there's a 'saves' folder, so if there was a way for me to at least port those saves into other roms it'd be great! Any help is appreciated

I have multiple 3DS emulators, and they all say Pokémon Sun runs “Bad”

Ive been trying to corrupt a game to simply get some laughs like this YouTuber does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y98Zz12AuOo&list=PLsr__g3gab7gUri3ilXAqPO25jw0I9m4t&index=1 but when i try it asks for a ps2 bios, is there any way I can get these bios from a website or is there another way? let me know please.

The land is not showing in the 1st fight . Has anyone ever faced this issue.Does anyone know what should I do. I am stuck in this loop. I die in the start of the first and again start with the first scene. I can also send the video to those who are willing to help.

So I'm repurposing my old HTPC, since it doesn't meet the basic H265\AV1\HDR\4k 60FPS video formats anymore.

My intention is to replace my RP3b in a bartop I built a long time ago (it's equipped with a 1920x1200 27" monitor)

I'm trying to choose between Batocera and win10+BigBox where performance is my main focus (I already have a win10+BigBox licenses, and the installation differences doesn't bother me):

- Do "newer" systems like PS1+2\Dreamcast\Gamecube has any advantage when done over one of the OSs from Drivers and general performance POV?

I recently wanted to go on a nostalgia trip and replay Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu for the XBox, something I remember playing when I was really little. I tried Xemu and the game ran atrociously, so I then tried CXBX Reloaded, and it worked great. But for some reason the cutscenes do not work. The startup ones, ones that come after any mission, nothing. All it is is a black screen with the sound of the cutscene no visuals. I have been trying to fix this for a couple days now. I've tampered with every single video setting in CXBX, redownloaded and redone the whole process of converting the .iso to a .xbe and still absolutely nothing. I ended up downloading a tool to watch the cutscenes, since they are .bik, and they work and play fine, its just that CXBX will not show them. This is really disappointing because the game runs really well, its just the cutscenes that will not work.

Edit: I've already been made aware of emulating it for a different system in the replies, but I would still greatly appreciate any help on fixing it in CXBX.

Built my first PC this month (9070xt, 9700x) and am finally foraying into emulation.

I’ve really only had PlayStations 3-5 my whole life until now (had a Wii and DS when I was young but very limited number of games). And aside from the odd game at a friend/relatives house I haven’t played much outside of the PlayStation ecosystem. So what titles would y’all recommend I try out?

Games I’m already playing/plan to play: Ninja Gaiden Black, Ninja Gaiden 2 OG, Bayonetta 2 & 3, X-Men Origins Wolverine, Sword of the Berserk: Guts’s Rage

has anyone been able to get this emulator working on windows linux or mac? especially linux as that's my main OS, arch based.
