Emulation: News, Tips, Setups, etc.

[Maypews]

Console emulation is a truly marvelous thing. Imagine going back to the 2000s and telling video game players back then that you'd be able to emulate just about every popular machine ever made. It's an incredible technology, one I hold a high reverence for, and as such I figured I'd make a thread about it.

Recently I discovered that the Sega Chihiro arcade board has had strides made in it's emulation. You can set it up through TeknoParrot (which gives off rather scammy vibes, but thankfully Xemu is also making breakthroughs that just haven't been released publicly yet) and CXBX. The Chihiro had an interesting lineup of exclusive titles such as Virtua Cop 3, Ollie King (by many of the developers of Jet Set Radio, including an OST made by Naganuma), Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune, and Gundam Battle Operating Simulator.

I was mainly in it for Ollie King as a Jet Set Radio fan, though I'll probably give some of those other ones I mentioned a shot at some point too. Unfortunately Ollie King experiences slow down specifically on high end Intel processors, so fuck me I guess. But I'm going to be keeping my eye on this to see how it develops.

"Unfortunately Ollie King experiences slow down specifically on high end Intel processors" Good thing my Intel processor is low end ((´∀｀))ｹﾗｹﾗ
Being able to emulate games is super convenient, hopefully that issue gets fixed soon.
