I'm just wishing to have all of my old games in an all in one emulator like retroarch but with no luck so far.
I've downloaded the latest 1.9.0 version of retroarch (both the nightly and the stable build) but everything from the menu navigation to running and playing games etc
By the way I've noticed something odd about the PC version of retroarch that unlike the switch which scrolls through the menus butter smooth the PC version seems to be capped at 30FPS.
I know it seems an error on my part.
Sure the menu scrolling issue doesn't bother me as much but the games running at like 10~ FPS is the main issue here. And like they're nes games they're supposed to run at maximum fps.

Tried several video driver settings and options + bilinear filtering set to off but still at no avail the problem persists.

Please @DinohScene or anyone else can you help me get retroarch up and running the way it should.
I want to play my old NES games.


My laptop has an i7 6700HQ coupled with a gtx 1060 3gb 16 GB of ram and a 1tb hard drive.
It's one of those Asus rog latops from circa 2016-2017
thanks

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
