Read the General problems FAQ before asking questions. If you still need help, post your specs (Speccy screenshot), operating system, emulator version number and details of what's wrong.
Please contribute to the wiki if you discover any inaccuracies or have relevant information to append.
READ THE WIKI BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS LIKE: >Where do I get games OR >What is the best emulator for...
Check out the wiki for the emulator you're using if you run into trouble, there may be a solution there too, often including recommendations for optimal game settings.
Remember to submit bug reports or shit won't get fixed.

Zeromus did nothing wrong.
Wyatt Bailey
Why did they take down the PCSX2 wiki and how can I fix the purple windows on Burnout 3
Samuel Howard
Except the part where he can't stop himself from fucking up.
Aaron Lee
They took it down because software upgrades work in mysterious ways (which usually involve your shit getting fucked up) and your problem requires one of the three following at-least, using the OGL plugin, double tapping F9 one or several times until it fixes itself and finally switching to sw mode altogether.
Landon Hill
has anyone had an issue with citra where certain keys are being fired over and over (as if the buttons were being held down permanently)?
i'm trying to play smt: devil survivor, but it's acting like i'm holding up and left on the dpad, even when my hands are completely off the keyboard
Kevin Taylor
Kinda disappointing as even with all the changes through versions it was very helpful. And thanks a lot, user.
Jayden King
Thinking about trying Bravely Default on Citra. Are there any gamebreaking problems?
Logan Morris
Pretty sure there's an user around here that completed it some time ago so I'd say yes it's playable, think it's one of those games that require you to dump some things from an actual console though.
Evan Brooks
I can't get Sega CD to work on RetroArch.

Lincoln Morales
The Emugen wiki said that the RA version of Genesis Plus GX had some enhancements that aren't in the standalone version. Plus I can't find a download for the PC version.
Nicholas Butler
Really makes you think
Logan Flores
How do I get bgb to detect Super Game Boy 2?
Carter Rivera
Turn on Detect Pocket/SGB2 in system tab or use the SGB2 bootrom.
Gavin Reed
Thank you.
Nicholas Rivera
Do you have the BIOS? Are your CUEs good?
99.9% it's one of these issues.
GPGX only exists as a libretro core for PC
Brayden Ross
>Do you have the BIOS? Yes. >Are your CUEs good? I'm pretty sure they are.
Brody Bell
Does the BIOS have the correct file name and hash?
Pastebin the CUE
Dominic Bailey
nvm, I just needed to rename my BIOS.
Andrew Myers
if it was a different number then please don't rename it just get the right bios from the wiki.
mednafen's emulation targets a SPCH550x specifically and using a bios from a different playstation is known to break games.
Angel Howard
Playstation? I was trying to get Sega CD to work.
William Jenkins
Shit my bad I did not read far back.
Same thing might apply though.
Gavin Morris
I just renamed the Sega CD/Mega CD bios with the highest versions and it's working fine.

Easton Carter
>mednafen's emulation targets a SPCH550x specifically and using a bios from a different playstation is known to break games. Is this actually true? What the fuck?
Joshua Jones
Supporting all the bioses is a kludge and there is a reason even ePSXe recommended SCPH1001 over all the others.
Jason Bailey
Is it actually true or is it just you are spewing for attention?
Ian Bell
Jesus christ, just check the mednafen github if you don't believe him.
Blake Lee
Playstations had actual significant hardware revisions so yeah BIOSes are pretty different, I think 55xx is targeted because it still has everything without the added AP shit from the newer models but already has the new GPU that doesn't have color banding.
Leo Scott
I base my claims on:
>The medanfen author has a SPCH5501 and outright said that all tests are done on that model and anything else is unsupported. >Someone had trouble with mednafen ITT and it turned out to be a reamed bios. >A PCSX dev said supporting multiple BIOSes was very hacky a few years ago. >ePSXe says to use a SPCH1001 bios in it's docs and says the although the others ones work they are not recommended. >replies to forum posts from years back with people having ePSXe trouble commonly said "Are you using SPCH1001"?
Justin Long
why doesn't something like this happens with PCSX2 or Dolphin?
Ian Reyes
Maybe the GC/Wii revisions are similar enough to be a non-issue? (Isn't Dolphin more HLE anyway?) Maybe PCSX2 is so shit it hasn't even got to the part where using a certain bios has an impact on compatibility?
Christopher Taylor
>Maybe PCSX2 is so shit it hasn't even got to the part where using a certain bios has an impact on compatibility? Using the HK BIOS will fuck your shit up sopmetimes, most people use 1.6-2.2 because those are the most common ones.
Gavin Foster
>Maybe the GC/Wii revisions are similar enough to be a non-issue Not true I remember certain versions of action replay not working on later models of the gamecube.
Wyatt Robinson
He's shitposting, pay him no attention.
Evan Mitchell
>Isn't Dolphin more HLE anyway So is epsxe. Whats your point?
Joshua Ross
Dolphin HLE's the whole Wii firmware. So if anything Dolphin would compare to PCSXR in HLE bios mode.
Angel Scott
>Dolphin HLE's the whole Wii firmware You mean like epsxe does for the PS1?
Anthony Sullivan
Where exactly are you going with this?
Adam Miller
That you are wrong and don't know what you are talking about?
Joseph Robinson
>try to make a point that you can't properly run any PSX bios in an emulator without either properly emulating the revision differences (no emu does this) or hacking around it (PCSXR and I assume ePSXe sort of does this).
>You are wrong because some emulators can HLE the bios.
ok
Jonathan Stewart
What does one need to do to get officially recognized as an emudev?
Josiah Lewis
easy peasy, just dev an emu
Jordan Johnson
Shit out something related to emulation once and then spend the next 10 years holding grudges and pissing everyone off.
Fix an error in any file of your favourite emulator (best would be to correct a typo in a comment), submit a PR and let it get merged. Afterwards, you have the privilege to call yourself an emudev and are entitled to cause drama (Squarepusher is an easy target for this).
John Phillips
>It's made by a team of jews who make closed source "commercial" emulators and sell them on their site. Their PSP emulator is apparently a port of an UWP Version of PPSSPP and they're charging money for it, why is that even allowed?
Using the gb-shader.cgp preset, from them you can go to the "menu shader parameters" and increase the LCD response time, it will be at 0.33 you just increase the number and it will have all the ghosting like the original brick game boy.
>also why
Because emulation is cute!
Jackson Nelson
What's the best way to emulate Metal Slug?
Owen Reyes
Almost every game needs the shared_font.bin. Even if some games boot without it, it's a good idea to have them around, just in case
Camden Cox
Use Kawaks.
Leo Williams
What's the most demanding thing to emulate that still emulates accurately? I want to fuck around on my new PC
Lincoln Jenkins
Hey it's batman guy! Still using the enhanced blur I suggested, and even telling other people to, good man.
Kayden Morgan
Persona 5 in RPCS3
Levi Stewart
>accurately He said "accurately" user, but still, it's demanding as fuck. Heavy Rain is a good call too, because he said "thing" and not "game"
Daniel Gutierrez
Is raicast a good choice for Dreamcast emulation? Demul is dead?
Jacob Turner
He didn't. Someone posted that webm like a month ago. He didn't even change the file name
Gabriel Powell
Nintendo 64 angrylion.
Jace Myers
Does this really not play at full FPS, even on top of the line hardware?
Ethan Ross
Some games run like crap, Vigilante 8 is a good example.
Samuel Brooks
Not very. Demul is alive but rarely updated.
Jose Moore
>Is raicast a good choice for Dreamcast emulation?
No, it's worse than Demul and NullDC. Only useful for Linuxfags
>Demul is dead?
No, they just release a new build whenever they feel like it.
Jaxson Morgan
Or being a fucking asshole.
Anthony Robinson
Hai. How's #mednafen in my absence?
Henry Clark
Why won't Retroarch detect that I'm using 144hz? Piece of shit always just estimated at 57 and then counts slowly up to 59.99 or whatever.
Jonathan Carter
RA is designed for consoles and Arch Linux
Grayson Walker
Thanks but your irrational RA hatred isn't helpful. It has black-frame insertion for high refresh displays for a reason.
Gabriel Martin
You've called it "piece of shit", and is the one that is hating on RA?
Henry Young
being annoyed with software that isn't working as it should is a lot different than anti-shilling it
Ethan Taylor
video_refresh_rate = 144.0
The estimated refresh rate counter is probably affected by menu throttling
Blake Adams
I want to translate some game, where can I find a list of games that doesn't have any translation project going on now?

Nathaniel Brooks
I just reinstalled Windows 7 so I'm starting my emulation folder all over again. Is it time for me to finally leave ePSXe behind after using eight years or use or is it still fine?
Charles Bailey
It was never fine.
Carter Lewis
>It has black-frame insertion for high refresh displays for a reason.
If you want to do that, then you want to use 120Hz and not 144Hz, since you always want to use a display mode evenly divisible by the game's refresh rate. The following settings will do 120Hz with black frame insertion:
When you switch to exclusive fullscreen mode, it will then try to select a fullscreen resolution mode that has 120Hz refresh rate along with whatever is set for video_fullscreen_x/y settings. The refresh rate setting is set to 60.0 because it is doubled internally when using black frame insertion, since the refresh rate setting is used by dynamic rate control feature for synchronization with your display.
If if is not able to set a fullscreen mode with those settings, try creating a resolution mode with Custom Resolution Utility that has 120Hz refresh rate.
Justin Murphy
It's still fine, it just lacks visual improvements that PCSXR+PGXP has.
