i’ve been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to play games on citra. it says i have to decrypt? my files and i have tried to follow guides but it just isn’t working. are there any common mistakes people are aware of?
How can I hide the black borders when playing N64 games in Ares? The overscan video setting doesn't seem to do anything at all. Can I manually set how much to cut away?
I'm also open to any suggestions on how to otherwise improve the experience. It's been a long time since I've emulated N64 games, all I've got on right now is a CRT filter (crt-guest-advanced-hd) and 4x native upscaling.
I'm not familiar with Ares in particular but are you talking about black borders on the side or the top? Either way you are most likely dealing with a scaling setting, has nothing to do with overscan
Edit: Nevermind, if the black borders you're seeing are from overscan, the setting isn't implemented on n64 core yet: https://ares-emu.net/news/ares-v136-released
I checked later released it hasn't been updated yet for n64
Ah, that's a shame. I was indeed talking about the top and bottom. Thanks.
Another possibility is you're integer scaling. Assuming you have a 1080p monitor you'd be scaling 240p 4x (to 960p) which would leave some space still on the top and bottom. If you prefer to not have that extra space switching to "Scale (Best Fit)" might do the trick, although integer scaling is the best option imo
I use "Best Fit" but they all have a border of some kind.
Hey everyone!
I decided to give Duckstation a go, since I read ePSXe was discontinued, so I installed it, closed and now I can't find the exe file to open it... do I need to run from the installer each time?

the program is portable, but it tends to auto-update. it's possible that it tried to update and the antivirus blocked the new version, deleting the old one.
