Suggestion Budget projector for retro gaming with low input lag?

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a reasonably priced projector for retro gaming. I want to connect it to my MacBook Pro M4 Pro and play emulated retro games on a big screen.

My main priority is low input lag, especially for fast-paced games like platformers, fighting games, and classic action games. I don’t need a high-end home theater projector, just something affordable that delivers a smooth and responsive gaming experience.

Ideally, I’m looking for:

Low input lag for responsive gameplay.

A decent image quality and resolution.

Good value for money — nothing too expensive.

Compatibility with my MacBook Pro M4 Pro.

Does anyone have recommendations for budget-friendly projectors that work well for retro gaming? Are there any specific models I should look at, or features I should prioritize to minimize input lag?

I’d really appreciate any suggestions or personal experiences. Thanks!

Help Me Pls! Switch games format prod.keys / title.keys

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I was looking for a way to play Switch games on my iPad, and I ended up installing meloNX. However, the app requires games in `prod.keys` / `title.keys` format... I’ve gathered that you need a hacked Switch for this, but I don’t have one. If anyone knows of any reliable sites where I can download these, I’d appreciate it. I’d also love for someone to explain how to extract them, though I suppose that might be asking too much!

Thanks a lot!

Help Me Pls! HOW to make a usable game folder from a pkg file???

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to take a PS5 ROM pkg file that has been merged from 4 GB files into one, and make it usable for kyty emulator. I've searching for hours, and can't get a clear answer. I got the PS5 PKG Tool and extracted the files. It gave an error, but I still ended up with the extracted game files, but it is missing the eboot.ini file. The kyty emulator is still not recognizing the game. I can't find any video or website or forum to explain how to take a PKG merged game file and make it into a usable game folder. I've been looking for hours over the past few nights, and this is as far as I have got.

I would like to start with the pkg file. How to make it usable? Thank you

Suggestion Title: [shadPS4 fork] The Order: 1886 black triangle glitch fixed, NHL 24 plays full matches without a custom config, NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered renders again

Thumbnail

Hey all. I maintain a small shadPS4 fork that I test on an RTX 3080. I did the debugging for this release with Claude (Anthropic's AI). New build with the launcher included:

Download: https://github.com/vsajjadx/shadPS4/releases/tag/order-glitch-fix-2026-10-23

The Order: 1886: the random black triangle / gray rectangle

If you've played The Order on shadPS4, you've probably seen it: every few seconds, for a single frame, a huge black triangle or a fog-gray rectangle flashes over the scene. It was worst around the door in the first chapter, at about one frame in ten. (Images 1 and 2.)

Finding it took a while:

Recording the frame in RenderDoc and replaying it gave a different result each time: about 1 replay in 10 showed the triangle, with exactly the same commands and data.

Bisecting the replays showed that one small instanced draw (24 indices, 6 instances) was writing a broken triangle into the depth buffer.

That draw's vertex shader contains a GCN "waterfall" loop. It picks the first active lane's instance id (readfirstlane), the lanes with that instance do their work, and the loop repeats.

On the PS4, all lanes of a wave always run together, so this is safe. On NVIDIA, when the loop runs more than once, it sometimes read another vertex's instance id, and that vertex shot across the screen.

The proof: in RenderDoc I swapped only that cross-lane read for the vertex's own value, and the triangle went from about 10% of replays to 0 out of 120.

The fix: which vertices share a wave is up to the hardware, so no correct vertex shader can depend on its neighbours, and a wave with a single active lane is a perfectly valid PS4 execution. The emulator now runs each vertex as its own wave, so these loops always read the vertex's own data. It's a general fix in the shader recompiler, with no game-specific hack, so any game whose vertex shaders do this benefits.

Also fixed in The Order in this release:

Enemy faces turning black: a shader compiled in the background read the game's texture descriptors after the game had already changed them.

Occasional frames with black or unlit patches, caused by a GPU command reading data that had already been reused.

Two crashes, one of them in a later area.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered: black world

The game drew only the HUD and the rear-view mirror; everything else was black (image 4). For some draws the game uses the PS4 driver's built-in shaders, which the emulator keeps inside its own executable, and a safety check thought those addresses were invalid and skipped every one of those draws. They're allowed now.

Readbacks

Every game now runs with at Auto GPU readbacks, so The Order and NHL 24 no longer need a custom config. NHL 24 plays a full match with clean ice on relaxed instead of precise.

Tested on this build (images 3, 5–7)

The Order: 1886, NHL 24 (a full match, no crash at the end of the third period), UFC 4, inFAMOUS Second Son, The Grand Tour Game and NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered. All on an RTX 3080 / Windows.

Notes:

The first run after updating recompiles shaders, so expect some hitching in that first session.

It's a fork, not an official shadPS4 build,
