Thank you so much for posting this video! I just recently got the DuckStation Emulator and I was trying to figure out how to set it up... Especially setting up a Bluetooth Controller, because I really want to use my Razer Raiju BT Controller... I know this video is two years old but I truly appreciate the time you put in to help people like me... I made sure to subscribe to your channel...

[@AlloftheAboveG]

The problem that you are having with it finding your games is your cue files, open up your cue files and double check and make sure the path is correct. I think it's even case sensitive. I ran into this problem a while back.

Retroarch cores on Android for PS1 are awful, so setting up Duckstation separately just like PPSSPP is the only way to go!!

[@gabrielst527]

Technically speaking Vulkan should run MUCH faster if it's properly applied. OpenGL is the software that was replaced by Vulkan.

[@AndrewAHayes]

Rather than writing another Emu, I would like to see devs write new programs that can play old roms but incorporate the advantages of the increased RAM and Proc. speed of the host machine to reduce the amount of pop up and screen tearing

[@stenzek]

DuckStation supports overclocking the emulated CPU, which can improve the frame rates in some games. Increasing the RAM wouldn't help, as the game would have to be patched to utilize the additional RAM.

[@cassiodalcin]

I have a Redmi Note 9 (not the S version, the one with the Helio G85 MediaTek). Been testing it for a while and, as of now, it's running like a charm. Switching from OpenGL to Vulkan does not seem the impact performance, and it's running with 2x resolution and no MSAA. Switching to either 3x reso and/or 4xMSAA it's too much and it starts to lag, while 2xMSAA does not lag but also somehow makes the screen darker.

[@GhostMirror3567]

I would love to see a video about the performance of DuckStation on the GPD XD+ system, I imagine it would be decent performance as PS1 emulation isn't that difficult at least at stock. Also you could use CHD format if PBP is not supported yet I did try that on the PC version of DuckStation and CHD files work fine

[@jhuanbrown3455]

Im curious to see how it does as well on the GPD XD?

[@StarDArashi]

[@Myako]

On the GT2 side-by-side, the grassy side of the track is bent, which suggests you were not using PGXP. Is that the case? If so, why: too big of a performance penalty?

[@bonbonbensgoto3918]

Should there be any OpenGL or Vulkan plugin that I have to use? Dusckstation is not working too well on my system, 3GB ram with Snapdragon 625. I tried all possible options. I would get 30 fps only if I use 1x resolution and turn off all enhancements. Otherwise, frame rate drops significantly, almost unplayable. I'm using epsxe and it's working perfectly, 60fps on full resolution, 1080p, which looks awesome on my fullhd 8 inch tablet.. But that's with OpenGL plugin.

[@DaveWLamb]

I'm a bit annoyed at Duckstation; every time I try to Allow Access to my game folder (Android, Pixel XL), it lets me click 'Allow' but immediately gives me an error ('Failed to get path for the selected directory.') I've already clicked the 'Show Internal Storage,' so I can't figure out what's wrong. Anyone got any ideas? I only want to play Wip3Out 2097 (WipeOut XL)...
