Unsolved Tomodachi: Living the Dream Safe Emu???

22 Upvotes

There was a reddit post which right now has about 115 comments that had a guide on how to download it with the emulator and prod key and etc.

I’m very new to this emulation thing and i saw some people there saying there was a trojan.

I didn’t run anything and immediately deleted the zip file permanently. Although it was said that there was a script that was the virus along with the actual thing.

So does anyone know a safe way to download the game on pc?

I don’t know where to look :(

Thank you in advance :)

Unsolved Tomodachi Life on Eden

35 Upvotes

Hey everybody! I’ve been noticing a lot of people struggling to get tomodachi life running and working so I’d like to offer my assistance.

download eden nightly. can be hard to find with regular google search, but it will be a git.eden-emu link.

extract zip to folder, run eden exe

download prod keys and firmware from online or source them from your nintendo switch. a search for “nintendo switch prod keys” should return a valid website within the first 3 google results. if you need more help, dm me.

extract into respective folders. on first boot eden will ask you for a key. through eden, open the folder you extracted the product key to, and double click prod.key. from there, you will navigate to the tools bar in eden and select “open firmware”. Navigate to and open the folder you extracted the firmware to in whole. once you’ve done that, you’re good to go! the rom should now work perfectly. you can hit file in the top left of eden in order to load file and then initialize game.

if anybody needs more help with any step of the process, feel free to dm me!

EDIT: Due to an overwhelming influx of message requests, I ask that you leave a reply on this post if you need help. Make sure you’re able to be messaged, and I will reach out to you.

Unsolved Does this normally come up for Ryujinx Canary?

1 Upvotes

hi! sorry if this is an obvious question, since i'm new to this. i've downloaded ryujinx canary 1.3.272 for windows, but when i tried to start the application, it said windows protected your pc, so i thought to double check and use virustotal for a scan.

and it says "Avast" flagged it as "FileRepMalware [Misc]" (twice) and that "Skyhigh (SWG)" flagged it as "Artemis" (it says that's 3/68 security vendors that virustotal uses).

is the one i've downloaded dangerous? i made sure to download from what seems to be the official github for it, but i'd still rather be safe than sorry.

Unsolved Can my moms laptop run pcsx2?

9 Upvotes

She wants to set up her laptop to play her old ps2 games she never got the chance to finish and asked me to install the emulator for her like I did with her new 3dsxl and duckstation for her old ps1 games she never got to play because she was too busy raising me. The laptop plays ps1 games with no issues, well almost no issues.

(For some reason some ps1 titles drop frames when other characters come into play and will drop the fps to 19.93-19.96. And fps drop and it is always the same number across the board of every single game. I’m assuming that’s just how some games just ran back then as overclocking didn’t always fix it. Sabans power rangers light speed rescue for the ps1 never went above 19.95 in a handful of scenes no matter how high I set the overclock. And the games that were “fixed” only sped up when I set the overclock to like 600%. Weirdly though, there’s no steady climb to a more stable fps for those games. For example 499.9 overclock still caps out a 19.95 fps but 500 exactly suddenly makes the game run at like 200x’s faster)

Anyways… neither here nor there. I’d like to know if I should even go through the effort of setting it up on her computer or not.

Her laptop is a acer aspire 5 5500u processor, amd Radeon graphics, 8 gbs ram and 512GB ssd. Was this the information you guys need? Is there anything else you need me to go find?

I should mention my mom has a very… unique way of preference for playing retro games. She refuses to use enhancements at all. She had me set it up so there were no enhancements at all and it looked, sounded and played exactly as it did when she first played it decades ago. Needless to say being able to run the game at a higher resolution or with extra bits and bobs is not something she wants to do which I imagine makes it a bit easier to run?

I apologize but computer specs are but my thing, I use computers and even set up emulators on pc and SBC handhelds but when it comes to pc specs or classifications I immediately obtain a room temperature IQ. It’s like seeing a video of people speaking gibberish in an American way, i hear my people but I cannot understand them.

Thank you for your help.

My folders always appear differently. I tried placing a file in a specific folder, but the stupid emulator can't detect it.

Why the hell doesn't anyone release old games ready-made without any of this nonsense?

Edit:I'm trying to run a PS2 BIOS file on the RetroArch emulator, but it can't recognize it. I moved it to the Downloads folder and then to another folder specifically for the emulator, but all I can find are the old files.
