badflame Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I think it could be helpful for newbies, like me, make a list of recommendations for each platform/system emulators. Also, indicate the reasons why one is better than another. Greetings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talbin Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 There is already a pretty good list here: http://www.rlauncher.com/forum/showthread.php?2803-Best-Emulator-For-Each-System 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badflame Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Thanks talbin But, the sense of this thread is, rather, that everyone expose their personal experiences when has opted for one specific emulator. I want to know the reasons why he/she believes that is the best option, beyond the official recommendations of one web. Greetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooterer Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 retroArch is a good all around while your test others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mots54 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 N64 = Project64 PS2 = Pcsx2 PS1 = ePSXe Gamecube = Dolphin All above are ones I use and have had very little problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beev Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Retroarch is the perfect starter emulator, once you figure one core out they are all almost the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozebau Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Retroarch, RetroArch, Retroarch .......where applicable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz223 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I agree with original post...will update with my list once I really get knee deep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odricar Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Yeah, use retroarch for anything unless you have issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phulshof Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I use MAME for almost all systems pre-N64. It provides a single configuration interface, and works well on my OS of choice: Linux.Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nortido Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Retroarch is perfect for all systems!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3615 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 After reading this topic it seems MAME is good for me thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminYesSupplements Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Sega: Kega Fusion SNES: SNES9x Gameboy: Visual Boy Advance PlayStation: ePSXe PSP: PPSSPP N64: Project 64 1.6 NES: VirtuaNES I also occasionally use Retro Arch, but it lacks many of the features, such as up-scaling, that many single system emulators have.

Coleman Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Hmm - most of my research has shown bsnes as the best for snes and project 64 tends to include ransomware.. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used 1.6 for years without any problems. 2.1 is also safe, but 1.6 is a much better emulator anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmambrose Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I love retroarch, the perfect all in one solution! Why have 20 different programs installed when you can have 1? I do use dolphin for wii and gamecube games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 It looks like retro arch now has a dolphin core... I have been seeing more and more people suggesting better results not using retro arch, I don't really understand why though :/ so much to learn.

Ted777 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Just curious, is there anytime RetroArch doesn't perform as well as a dedicated emulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TragicallyGeek Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I swear this is the 3rd thread on this topic I have seen in 4 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hojo Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page Website has information on all ones emulation needs. Just point noobs to it. Most emulators for older systems are all high compatibility so it is pretty much pick your poison there. I personally use Mesen for nes, snes9x for snes, and mupen64plus for n64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglc316 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I notice that most are loving retro arch. This may be a noob question but how many platforms does retro arch successfully emulate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hojo Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Almost everything from psx down. retroarch has cores for psx, n64, nes, snes, arcade (mame), saturn, sega genesis, master system, etc. Go to the official page and it will list all the cores available.
