Demul creates a shader cache for each game it plays. The stutters are the emulator caching the shaders to a folder called "scache" in your Demul folder. Over time, everything will cached up and the stutters will stop. I've attached my shader cache to this post. Overwrite your existing "scache" folder with the one inside and see if it makes a difference. There are 10,000 files in there, about 4 years worth scache.7z

Haha now I'm a Wii convert I'm all about the Barbie Fashion Princess, My Petz Horsez and My Petz Hamzter now. I blame that machine for the "brony" phenomena, but I just can't help it.......

I bought a brand new official WiiMote (£35) and a "Mayflash Dolphin Bar" (£16) which is the Bluetooth sensor that the WiiMote or Lightgun and other Wii peripherals work with and this is setup in the Dolphin emulator just by selecting "real WiiMote" in the control settings. It's really easy and it works great as well, better than I expected it to. You'd definitely need to use the Dolphin 5.0 emulator for it though I think. Dolphin is a BRILLIANT emulator. I'd go as far to say it is a masterpiece with the amount of stuff and complexity of the stuff it emulates. Ahh man, I've had a lot of fun discovering all these Wii and WiiWare games. I never touched a Wii during the time it was around so it's fun been to go back and play the games with the actual controller the games were designed for. I'd say that Wii games are ones that don't themselves too seriously. Some of the shovelware is actually pretty fun lol. In recent weeks, I played Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the first time ever and it is awesome with the WiiMote. You must use the WiiMote for it because of the way Link uses his sword which can't be emulated on a 360 Controller. There are two Wii House Of The Dead games which I've yet to try but I'm expecting them to be awesome!

Haha, I know what you mean but the nihilist in me loves collecting all the shovelware, similar to a 'crab biting my ding dong'. I've been putting together a full USA set (1179) (2TB) of Wii games for the last 3 weeks and my word there is so much shovelware on that system too! I've even gone as far as getting a WiiMote, Dolphin Bar and 8TB drive for the occasion. I've fallen in love with a shitty game called "Chicken Shoot". Such a guilty pleasure

I've been toying with this emulator today, and this is the only emulator that runs Club Drive for the Atari Jaguar and the only Atari Jaguar emulator that has Save States. Ahh crap. I think I may have to put my RocketLauncher cap on for this one. @Agent47 Is it possible to get RocketLauncher to use Phoenix for Atari Jaguar?

After lunch. I wonder why "after lunch". Why not before? Little details like this intrigue me. I wonder how he got on too. Normally 15 minutes with "lawyer" will set you back 100+ smackeroonies. He could have bought 10 LaunchBox's with that. Poor shawn.

Just incase anyone new to LaunchBox, or thinking about buying into LaunchBox, gets the wrong impression about how LaunchBox interacts with RetroArch......I must say to them that LaunchBox will in NO way interfere with your RetroArch settings. It doesn't go anywhere near RetroArch's settings. Even these Beta version's of LaunchBox will not affect RetroArch. All it does is launch your game and your chosen config. It's normally human error that screws RetroArch's settings as it can be complicated, for some.

I'll echo what Dane and say thanks for that bro. The 3DS set scraped very nicely with minimal work for box covers and art for all 400 of my 3DS USA Roms. Being a video completionist, I had to scrape some videos from YouTube manually myself but that's an EmuMovies thing.

At a guess, I'd say about 20% didn't scrape correctly, even after naming them correctly. I do remember however, that I spent at least 3 weeks downloading trailers and gameplays from YouTube, editing the videos, and getting the box art at the very least. Rather like the MSX platform that we spoke about earlier brrrr. I'm doing the Wii at the moment. I've been going for the full set of 1179 USA Roms (2TB) for about a month now. A little bit before Nintendo started going on the warpath. I've got about 600 imported into LB at the moment.....the box arts are scraping really well thanks to the LB Database, but the video's from EmuMovies videos are very patchy so once again, a lot of manual scraping from YouTube is in order :-)

Ahh yeah, I did the WiiWare titles recently too. It came to about 360 titles for the USA set. I've got the Europe and Japan titles in separate folders but I don't think I'll import them or it'll be dupe city. I just need to work out how to install DLC for Wiiware and Wii games because I have a ton of those.

Oh poo. I misread Harryoke's post. I thought he was talking about the 3DS! Yeah, I got 1200 USA Roms for the NDS which took ages to sort out and rename.

Did you add the USA set? I did the same recently and after consolidating the duplicates and versions. it came to dead on 400 games.

Please don't leave this project like the other one did. It's forbidden ? @harryoke @faeran

Good price! That CPU and RAM alone is worth more. I think you got a bargain there.

Just need some BigBox on there now ? Those specs look good. How much did you pay for it?

Do you mean add them as an alternative name so that they scrape nicely? I think that is a good idea. I'm experienced in the tortuous boredom of manually procuring and renaming Media to fit my collection but this ScummVM video re-naming thing I did took about 3 hours. 2.5 hours too much

Ahh ok. Thanks folks. I had to know if there was a rational reason.

I never knew that phenomena had a name. Weber's Law. Learn something new every day :-) Ahh the MSX haha. I did exactly what you described there about 6 months ago. With a lot of box arts, I could only find a photo of the box from places like eBay so I screenshotted them and cropped them etc. I think (though I can't quite remember) that I created a bunch of videos as well to fill in the the gaps from EmuMovies. A nightmare system to complete. Give me a shout if you need anything for the MSX. I'd gladly upload all of my MSX media to DropBox.

Klop, what is the naming convention of these videos? I've renamed them all now to match my Roms but I'm still curious as to why they are named this way.

Yeah, but the truth is none of us are getting any younger to waste time waiting for a bleepy bloopy 8 bit game. It was ok when we were 8 years old when 1 year felt like an eternity lol.

@EmuNOOB @Dane Yeah, I've never gone near Atari ST or Amstrad CPC464 for the same reasons. I think I tried an ancient frontend thing called GameBase Atari ST (I can't remember) and didn't have a clue what I was doing so binned the whole lot. That used the Steem emulator. I tried Amstrad once for 5 minutes and got rid of it as well. Just couldn't work out the controls. Even though I'm a Brit, I guess I should have an affinity with the Amstrad but no. My heart lays with the Sinclair Spectrum and the Commodore Amiga which run great with RetroArch Fuse Core and FS-UAE respectively. I think there comes a point when you have to ask yourself whether you're spending more time collecting and configuring just for the sake of it. Saying that though, like you Dane, I've always been curious about the C64 and the good music it has but have never had much success with it. Mr @Zombeaver is a C64 guru and he has a C64 package on his Zomb Lair website which is on my to-do list.

I was going to blame Steam, but I can't now :-) I do the same as you, BigBox launches at startup. Erm. I'm a bit stumped because PCSX 1.4 and the Nightly builds don't mess about like this for me. I'm not at my Games PC now so I can't check, but try removing that --nogui parameter and see what happens? I don't think I have that on mine because the two little windows pop up when I run it. It probably won't do anything. Just curious though.

OMG lmao! @A_Clever_MonocleHow did you get on with this in the end? I always like to hear how things turn out. I love that username by the way. If I had that, it would make me sound clever, too.

Do you launch LaunchBox through Steam? Like the OP does?

That worked. Just needed to run the Install.bat again. I guess I should have thought of that already durrr. Thanks :-)
