afaik the reason it runs PS1 so well is because it has a CPU inside that's directly backwards compatible with the PS1, so it's not even fully emulation.
There's something called PSNES/PEMU
Depending on the components of the platform and the synchronization between them, emulating simple systems like SNES gets complicated fast. This is a great example of why Dreamcast emulation works so much better than Saturn emulation, historically.
Neat. I wonder if it'll run on a Pi 1. (Edit: Ah, it's just a wrapper around snes9x, so performance is liable to be little better than the libretro cores, but I guess testing proves that either way.)
It is a good thing cause some of us have been calling out this shitshow to be a shitshow. Dolphin being put on steam will be perceived as an official endorsement of piracy by valve, however retarded that may sound and it will definitely kick up a shitstorm between Japs and other corpos and the PC gaming ecosystem. It could've led to jap devs boycotting steam and PC releases. It's a good thing to keep emulation unofficial and "illegal" especially with stuff like dolphin being seen as the face of emulation nobody should want to jeopardize anything for anybody.
dolphin on steam was always retarded, is free anyway, why the fuck put it on steam? so retards have a one click installation instead of having to extract a fucking zipfile?
The only real reason I can think of is so you can get access to Steam's controller support. I was having issues getting Dolphin to recognize my controller a while back so I added it to Steam and my controller was working fine. The Dolphin devs probably put it on Steam as a fix for their controller support and to avoid having to work on it.
SNES emulation on ARM-based devices has been infamously a pain in the ass for years, since it requieres brute force for the games to run properly, compared to GBA emulation which runs on any mobile toaster, i remember when i had a PSP i was forced to play the GBA ports of SNES games because of the bad emulation of the latter.
Does it not work by adding Dolphin to your steam library manually? Never tried it before, so I don't know if that includes controller support.
I added Dolphin to Steam manually to get my controller working. Say what you will about Steam, but Valve has put in a lot of work to make using a controller pretty effortless.
I think I dicked around with it during an oil change or two on a psp and it was okay?
God they really do. I just do not trust them. I'm happy with my Steam Deck and PSVita.
Maybe I'm just not perceptive but everything except the FX games runs virtually perfectly in my experience. Even among those I'd say Yoshi's Island is pretty playable, but some slowdown, minor graphical glitches, and sound distortion is noticeable. I doubt Star Fox is even worth trying though, that is choppy enough even on original hardware.
