On android, I use either:
- FEX
Basically Proton, but for Android
- JoiPlay
For RPGMaker and Ren’py games
- PPSSPP
For PSP games
On Windows, I used to run
CEMUYuzu, but it’s been shut down by Nintendo.When did cemu get shut down? Looking at their GitHub there was a commit 5 hours ago. Still looks pretty active?
You’re right, sry. It’s Yuzu, not Cemu
RetroArch for most stuff. The main devs aren’t good people but the tech of it is good, and most of the cores are by other people than the main devs. Dolphin standalone for GC and Wii. PPSSPP standalone for PSP. Both of those don’t run well through retroarch
Anything I’m not already familiar with in terms of what retroarch core to use, I’ll check https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page
That’s the wiki for 4chans ongoing emulation threads.
Same. I dislike the frontend but its very feature rich and I suppose I don’t hate it enough to change. This covers me for almost every system.
This is a meta package, rather than directly an emulator, but retrodeck (Linux, steamdeck) is such an excellent experience I have to give it a shoutout
I use Lemuroid on Android. Works well. On F-Droid. Nothing about it has prompted me to search for alternatives, so no idea how it stacks up against other options.
Also, EasyRPG Player on Android for RPG Maker games. (I played the original Yume Nikki not terribly long ago via EasyRPG Player.) Also on F-Droid. Also worked great.
Steam + Proton, for the most part. Lutris for Kitten Space Agency.
The ones I return to regularly:
Dolphin - for GC and Wii. Most titles using Wii remotes require the sensor bar thingy and mine recently stopped working. I haven’t bothered buying a new one yet so it’s GC games only for now.
Nestopia UE - for NES on Windows. These days I mostly use my Switch for (S)NES titles anyway but like once a year I get the craving to return to some classic SMB 1 or 3 rom hack.
