5200fanatic Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 For me, this new release seems to work better than Mednafen on Retroarch but I can't get it to load a game through Launchbox. I have searched and found nothing except that Yabause is not friendly to GUI but that could have changed. If anyone can share a command line that works in Launchbox, please share! Thanks!

Lordmonkus Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I haven't really tried to use 0.9.15 because it wouldn't work for me when I did try it and I gave up because Mednafen was out and working great. But I still have 0.9.14 installed and the command line parameter -i which works. I will try and get 0.9.15 working again and see what happens.

Lordmonkus Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Ok, I got it working with the command parameter -i and setting the emulator to load full screen in the settings / video tab. Personal Rant Incoming!!! Now I will apologize in advance for what is coming next but this emulator is absolute trash and there is no good reason to use this thing whatsoever. It still has broken sound in Darius Gaiden where it only plays music and no game sound effects. The full screen of this emulator is broken, it doesn't keep aspect ratio even though it is check on. When I full screen the emulator it spreads across both monitors unless I set the full screen resolution to match my main monitor which is 2560 x 1440 but like I said before it stretches the game to widescreen. Maybe it doesn't like the fact I am using a dual monitor setup but in this day in age many people do and this is the only emulator or program I have run into that does this. Maybe some day this emulator could be good and usable but today is not that day. Mednafen is far superior and if your system isn't quite fast enough to run it then SSF even with the mounting of disk images in Daemon Tools is way better and much more usable.

5200fanatic Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) For me, the latest Yabause runs Daytona and Sega Rally far better than Mednafen does. So that's why I like the latest Yabause. I have an i5 and a GTX 980 so I don't think its the system. And thanks!

Lordmonkus Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Did the -i command switch work for you at least ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5200fanatic Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Yes, with a little tweaking. I went into Yabause and switched on "autorun" and that worked. Thanks very much! Maybe what I'll do is run some games in Yabause and the others in Mednafen. Edited September 18, 2016 by 5200fanatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Cool, glad it works the way you want it to despite my hatred for this emulator in its current state You said that Daytona doesn't run well for you, are you talking the normal first release version or the later Championship Edition ? The Championship edition works just fine for me, I haven't tried the normal version or Sega Rally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5200fanatic Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) I'm using the Championship Edition -- for me, it is very slow on Retrorch/Mednafen Edited September 18, 2016 by 5200fanatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Hmm, do you have Threaded Video turned on or off and are you running any shaders ? What is the speed of your CPU ? I found running one of the heavier shaders that I had to turn on Threaded Video to get full speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5200fanatic Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 I have an i5 3.2 ghz -- should threaded bideo be on or off? I'm not using any shaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I don't know where the tipping point for CPU speed and performance is. If you need to squeeze out a bit of speed make sure you have Hard Gpu Sync On (should be on anyways) but then bump Hard Gpu Sync Frames to 1 and see what happens. If you still aren't quite there in smoothness you can turn on Threaded Video, it may introduce a tiny bit of input lag but it shouldn't be noticeable. I have Threaded Video On but I also use a very heavy shader (Kurozumi-Royale). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5200fanatic Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Thanks -- I'll give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
