Some may need custom tweaking to get right. Try adjusting the load delay in the Startup tab for each of these emulators. The only one I do not use is Mesen. All the others I have been able to get adjusted to a smooth transition. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason I have these settings is to aim to make these settings as portable as possible. Also in regards to the timing thing, I had no idea, thanks ill take a look 😀 Edited June 25 by 7ank0v1c Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to go back to older versions of these 2 emulators as those settings are different in the latest version I am using. When I use that 1280x720 I get the scaling issue.

Which resolution do you use out of interest? I have tried using some higher resolutions in the past, but have had issues when loading on different computers with different screen sizes. i wonder if there is then an option where it solves both issues for me? Also are you saying I have outdated software? I didnt know, where did you get an updated version of ePSXe? I can see the dolphin one is outdated though haha Edited June 25 by 7ank0v1c Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tested on one cabinet that is only 1920x1080. I used only that specific pc resolution and I don't make mine portable so each emulator setting is set for the cabinet/pc it is in. 2 minutes ago, 7ank0v1c said: Also are you saying I have outdated software? I didnt know, where did you get an updated version of ePSXe? Just go direct to ePSXe website. The latest version should be v2.0.5 and the settings menu did not look like in your images. So I went to a prior version and it matched. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is 2.0.5, it might be my plugin though? it is the ePSXe GPU Core 2.0.0? I downloaded a bunch of plugins before so I may have an older plugin or somthing? nevermind anyway, Ill maybe have a look into different resolutions to find a work around. Hopefully there will be one. Do you happen to know a good resolution that works on all modern widscreen systems? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So after playing with the settings, I have managed to find settings that work and make most of this a perfect experience, with the exception for ePSXe and Dolphin (of which I will try find a work around later) and No$Gba which i feel is probably a seperate issue for some reason? Any ideas? Hopefully these will help some people and maybe can be made into autosettings in future updates. Here are my findings: Project64: You must turn on 'Aggressive Startup Window Hiding' to get rid of flash and delay it to 4.5 seconds. Snes9x: Delay it to 1.5 seconds to avoid rom laoding with startup screen still there. PPSSPP: Delay it to 1.5 seconds to avoid rom laoding with startup screen still there. Mesen: Delay it to 2 seconds to avoid rom laoding with startup screen still there. Retroarch: Delay it to 1 second to avoid rom laoding with startup screen still there.

The problem with default times though is that everyones system is different. Emulator startup time is dependent on your CPU/HDD speeds, so there is no one size fits all.

Yeah, not pointless at all, its just that timings will vary for everyone depending on there hardware, but knowing where and how to adjust those settings is half the battle. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
