A bit OT since I don't use/like Windows.

Amiga: Amiberry/FS-UAE
C64: Vice
Atari ST: Hatari
Spectrum: Fuse
CPC: Caprice, WinApe (via Wine)

I also use Hatari for the Atari ST, I think I use that for the atari jaguar so I can play Alien Vs Predator.
Is their a MAME distro that just plays raster based games (68000), because I heard they started throwing in all the other emulators to make the ultimate emulator?
I mainly use MAME just for the classic games, The only vector game I might play would be a terminator or star wars based game.

I use:
3DO = 4DO
Amiga = WinUAE
Atari 2600+ = Stella
Atari ST = STeem & Hatari
C64 = WinVICE
Apple II = AppleWin
Acorn Archimedes = Articulator & RPCEmu
Amstrad CPC = CPC95
BBC Micro = BeebEm
Mac = Mini vMac & BasiliskII
MegaDrive / MasterSystem & Game Gear = Gens & Fusion
MSX = blueMSX
N64 = Project64
NES = Nestopia
Playstation = ePSXe
SAM Coupé = SimCoupe
SNES = Snes9x
ZX Spectrum = ZXSpin

Would ScummVM count ?

Coagulus · 03 October 2020, 19:43

My most used ones

Amiga - WinUAE
Atari ST - Steem/Hatari
DS - Drastic
Gamecube/Wii - Dolphin
ZX Spectrum - Spin (Windows), ZXDS
PSP - PPSSPP
C64 - PSPVice under PSP emulation (still better than the Android C64 emulators)

chip · 03 October 2020, 19:45

Curious what you do for C64 use ..... an emulator under another emulator

spiff · 03 October 2020, 20:34

Wii U - Cemu

How about A8 games that are also available for C64? Chances are, more often than not, the A8 game came first anyway and is better.

Just realised I misread the subject and have listed emulators for Android and DS oops. But they are what I use.

And yeah sometimes the best emulators are for other systems and if those systems are emulated well then why not.

Ive used ZXAM under WinUAE too.

There are heaps of good games for A8. Ninja, off top of my head, the best version on 8-bit.

Retro-Nerd · 03 October 2020, 21:37

The old Lucasfilm games are better on Atari 8bit.

Not to mention Boulder Dash, Bruce Lee, Dropzone, Mercenary, and no doubt several others.

Yes, Rescue on Fractalus was faster, and Ballblazer looked better, too.

If you have an nVidia card then make sure to grab latest Vulkan developer beta driver from here.

In Cemu under Debug\Experimental, enable Async compile (Vulkan).
It's a far cry from the old stuttery OpenGL shader cache build up.

I assume AMD have something similar for Radeon cards.

Retro-Nerd · 04 October 2020, 01:40

Yep, Cemu works great via AMD+vulkan.
