Top 8 Emulators To Use

[@TheCarloalberto95]

Bless the people who work on emulation and preserving this art that companies most time forget

[@Vara91391]

best download as much as you can before it'll all get banned and become illegal and sites down and whatnot.... Nintendo to thank for.

[@TravelGeeq]

I just repurposed my old laptop for emulation and this could not come at a better time. I love that you are straight to the point and concise. Great stuff man - subscribed!

[@ramosojustinken9894]

love this guy. always straight to the point

[@UrCasualGamer]

Thanks

[@wallacegentry4085]

There are many reasons to like UrCasualGamer. Subscribed to him as soon as watching. I like how he mentioned (in a roundabout way) that there are old schoolers that did have many emulators on their desktop before your retroarch's, retro gamestations, etc. Some like it that way, some don't, no control over that. @urcasualgamer keep at it, but don't burn yourself trying to put out content. Just keep making this quality content.

[@zweihander7465]

This channel is quickly becoming my favorite go to emulation channel. Thanks for not making drawn out videos. Getting straight to the point in easy to follow step by step instructions has made my retro life 1000% easier lol

[@jackslaughter3233]

INCREDIBLE vid mate! I've been emulating for well over a decade and consider myself pretty clued up. But you've just turned me on to a whole bunch of stuff I'd never even heard of before. Thanks ever so much! You rock! 😎🤟

[@Tor-Erik]

Video game emulators must be one of the greatest inventions humanity have ever created, if you are into video games. It allows us to play old video games that doesn't exist in the store anymore!

[@randallbro6749]

xbox 360 and ps3 are getting retro great video man!

[@diepurrxdreamz]

thank you so much for all of your help. you are a godsend. I watched your pcsx2 tutorial the other day because I was just so lost on how to get it going. I'm seriously technologically challenged and didn't know anything about bios or 7-zip so I was just hitting wall after all before I found your videos. So thank you again, so much

[@RantingGreekGamer]

*Great video brother, thank you! I use Dolphin and PCX2 and i love them to bits! Didnt know about RetroArch though, will definetly give it a try!*

[@Vara91391]

has a difficult learning curve tho, unuserfriendly af at the beginning.

Yeah man, it’s incredibubble

[@boredstudent]

PCSX2 is hands down one of my favorite emulators for PC. Duckstation is also my favorite. I especially like that it has support for other controllers like the Dualshock 4 and the Dualsense. Since I don't have a Dolphin sensor bar, I've only ever played GameCube games on Dolphin but I do agree that it's a great emulator. I've actually tried Xemu which is another original Xbox emulator and it's decent but I know it's still a work in progress. For that I would just rather play those games on an actual Xbox.

[@Boriqua2112]

you can use your ps5 or 4 controller for the wii ive been playing like that for weeks

[@AlryFireBlade]

I loved PCSX2 too, but after having so much problems with the Emulator bugging when configuring my controller, and having to d it over and over again, because he always looses it, when my Bluetooth Controler turns off, even when the Stick is still in it, I started to hate this Emulator.

[@Viesta]

@@AlryFireBlade im on the steam deck and i have not had any problems with any of the emulators i have installed so far surprisingly... even RPCS3 went pretty well... except for god of war 3 that game is just a whole different beast on it's own.

[@Man11235]

Can you use Xbox one controller on pcsx2?

[@Viesta]

@@Man11235 yes i just tried it out on scaler and it worked pretty good... but since it's not a playstation styled controller you just gotta have muscle memory on what button is what.

[@DarkWorldQ8]

Retroarch is more of a front-end than an actual emulator, but I got what you meant. I love PPSSPP, it is definitely one of the better built emulators.

[@macblink]

What do you mean by front end?

[@ShonnDaylee]

@@macblink It's a collection of emulators with a built in user interface to store games/navigate through emulators/content.... etc...

[@xylsky1300]

Beautiful list and even stat requirements ❤️

[@UrCasualGamer]

Thanks

[@EZOnTheEyes]

I will say I prefer Ryujinx to Yuzu for performance and accuracy, but 2022 was an incredible year for both in terms of progress. Nice recap!

[@PhoneTheo]

So Ryujinx would be better on a lower spec PC ?

[@UrCasualGamer]

Both will work with lower specs, but I still recommend having a graphics card for a decent experience.

[@terry_glory_to_ukraine394]

Me too

[@Ronin1977-v6l]

Ryujin sucks on steam deck

[@myst0ne]

It varies game to game really. Xenoblade 1 plays better on Ryujinc but 2 is better on YuZu.

[@joeyjojojunior4886]

Have you considered doing a video on Front Ends for all the emulators like Batocera, Retrobat, or LaunchBox?

[@4dogsgaming]

Installed launchbox with retro arch yesterday, runs great. Decided a few weeks ago to sell off most of my retro collection. If I had a better knowledge of emulation in the past would have sold it off long time ago. Good video.

Thanks for the insight! As a novice it’s nice to have some advice to be able to play the classics without risking malware. Much gratitude

It's really unfortunate that desmume is still considered the best DS Emulator while Melonds completely outclasses it

Love it with The hacked phantom Hour Glass, on controller ✌️😉

[@vampyjosuemaldonadoocasio6328]

love the content and setup vids, super helpful. Question is there an emulator for Wii U yet?

[@desultadox5900]

This is super helpful since there’s so many emulators out there now it can be hard to figure out which is “best.” What would make this even better though is if you could explain why each was chosen. For example why Redream over flycast or yuzu over ryujinx, etc?

[@KramerJones]

I’m gonna grab these this week

[@OneLovePsych]

@Damsen In 2023 I would consider 1050/1060 Low end for the most part, you can get a used 1060 for $60-$75.

[@OneLovePsych]

@Damsen I agree 100%. They’re perfect emulator GPU’s and can run most anything 1080P PC wise 👌

[@yuicebox]

@Damsen So am I chillin if I got a 3070?

[@budman8926]

@Damsen can run it on a 3gig doesnt need to be a 6 i run it on my kiddos pc... can get them pennys so no its not expensive

[@rylon_]

Can you make a video on emulators that work on MacOS? I noticed some of them are only for windows

[@Seahawkfan1108]

Rpcs3 is pretty rocky ATM, I had to go through a lot of hoops n loops just to get metal gear solid 4 running. And even then the game has some problems, hoping there's a massive patch to fix that emulator

[@DarkWorldQ8]

True. Around 1/3 of the PS3 games are not playable, and MGS4 is one of them. It might be a good idea to check the compatibility list beforehand.

[@flintfrommother3gaming]

There are, don't correct me, forks which are made and configured just for a single game to run, I don't know if there are any for MGS4 but it's still worth searching.

[@DarkWorldQ8]

@@flintfrommother3gaming I did hear about having to mess with certain settings and then it would fix the issue with some games, but I never bothered with it.

[@rcadenow7543]

if you have high end cpu its very playable

I run emulators on my 2007 480p LCD TV. I find an HDMI to coax converter provides a more period correct retro image. Seems to work best with a pre 2009 TV with a analog tuner. No CRT needed.

Thank you for this video, but I have a few questions, that I deem very important, I have Windows 11, a Lenovo Legion, it came with (X-Box) already installed, so with this will I still need to install an Emulator in order to play games for fun or to be able to play these games in my job? Right now, I have my X-Box game ware in the on position, should I keep it there? Also I have never actually used it, mainly because I have no idea as to even get it started, what is required in order to get this X-box started, it is so very confusing o me, Please help.

I'm building my own arcade cabinet using pi4b with retro arch. It was hard to figure out all the cores, BIOS and everything. I made a sweet chart that broke down each system with the proper config needed. Also the N64 was a hard one to do as each game sometimes has different types of configs. Don't get me started on configuring the controllers mouhahahahah. That was a pain on it's own configuring Bluetooth via Linux. took me over 1 year to get the software config how I wanted it with the art, music and everything. Now i just need to build the arcade cabinet itself.

You don't need a dolphin bar anymore to run wiimotes on Dolphin. But you do need the wiimotes and a sensor bar that works (I have a non-dolphin bar battery sensor bar). Apparently, motion plus is not well supported on either. Also, board is supposedly also supported but I haven't tested that yet.
