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.
>find my old GBA SP (AGS-001) lying around >turn off all the lights and boot it up >can't see fucking shit
How did people live like this? I remember playing the shit out of my OG GBA, and now it doesn't make any fucking sense to me.

DS emulation with a mouse is great, I could play this all day. Here's hoping Medusa ends up supporting high res without needing a high end PC, Desmume's kicking my ass.
Charles Clark
Redbook audio doesn't have metadata, does it? It's just WMP trying to match it, right?
Hunter Brooks
Yeah just WMP trying to match it but it's surprisingly good at doing it with a few exceptions., even works with other CD console apparently. (tried Air Combat, Tobal, Bastugun, Panzer Dragoon, DOOM and they all got properly detected, even Xi sai the JP version of Devil Dice is detected correctly)

This thread is too slow for Veeky Forums. Why can't we move to /vr/?
Ryan Harris
>This thread is too slow for Veeky Forums And you're not helping

Doesn't bumping the thread from page 10 count as helping?
Jaxon Price
Doesn't if you're not bringing some topic up to be discussed (anything but drama, please)

melonDS could be much faster... but the dev keep working on the wifi

Joseph Morgan
I'm playing Star Ocean first departure, and the screen seems to shake as I move. Any Idea how to fix that?
I saw the last thread hit the bottom of page 10 and just watched it die. >:D
You say that like it's a bad thing. melonDS is going to be the first emulator with DS-to-DS WiFi emulation. DeSmuME's shitty old WiFi implementation only supported online play.
Liam Myers
You can in the wiiu usb helper I think. >right click downloaded game >Select Play >It decrypts it I think It at least makes it runnable in Citra which I think needs decrypted ones.
Cooper Morales
Not a bad thing, by any means. But this is the kind of stuff you expect to see later, when the emulator is far more robust in other areas.
Hudson Watson
Holy shit, the latest melonds commit actually makes it work.
Ethan Reyes
Behold, the first emulated download play.
Josiah Allen
Downloading from yourself in this test, right?

David Gutierrez
Compatibility with actual game multiplayer is hit and miss. I could play a round against myself in Goldeneye, but can't even start a match in MKDS.

Which flashcard is good for gba sp?

PCSX-R wont let me save my LilyPad configuration, any ideas where it keeps its config files?

Michael Jenkins
sorry for my tenuous knowledge on this, but didnt desume have networking support?
What could desume not do in terms of networking that melonds is? I'm not trying to down play anything, I just really dont know
Luke Ortiz
DeSmuME only supported online play. DS-to-DS never worked.
Nicholas Rodriguez
Are you StapleButter? Can I use these videos on my channel for comparisons?
Cameron Walker
No and no. Make your own.
Landon Martin
ah okay, why is this super important though?
for accuracy sake I get it, but does it matter just for a better experience to just playing generally with other people?
Lucas Collins
I'll anyway, thx bitch
Andrew Barnes
I can tell you've no clue about how the DS online works for making such question
Eli Lee
I dont, I even said I didnt initially
Daniel Young
Didn't help.
Justin Robinson
Asking here because I don't really know where else to go. Is there any patch, fix, or Gecko code for the damage range glitch in Xenoblade Chronicles? Google is turning up nothing.
Caleb Cook
Play around with hardware transform and vertex cache
Joshua Thomas
Screens degrade over time. My gameboy pocket screen beginning to go, shitsux.
Parker Sanders
I wonder how long endrift and staplebutt will be able to put up with people like this when their emulators start to become better than DeSmuME.
John Lewis
Ban/be an ass to them, it's simple, I do this all the time I get stupid questions
Jaxson Thomas
what effect does ignoring them have? Or explaining them that efficient googling is a skill?
Chase Young
How the fuck is it that we don't have a half-decent 3DS emu yet? The damn thing has been out for 6 years. All I want to do is play the SMT games and Pokemon Sun/Moon.
Mason Torres
>The damn thing has been out for 6 years Why are you here if you've no how about emulation?
Ryan Powell
You need the right people to be motivated enough to work on something like that. Sadly, we only got nobrain & co.
Oliver Wood
>What is Google? or even >I don't know what to search for You know that when someone ask something in the level of "What is an OS", the hope is gone
Lucas Nguyen
I was gonna ask about what to do to get Sky Crawlers to run properly on Dolphin. But it seems the Ishiiruka Dolphin finally has it running properly except for some odd slowdowns in battle. But compared to dropping to half speed and fucked up sound whenever looking at the ground it's brilliant.
So, thanks for the link to that wiki.
Too bad the english version of the game seems to have disappeared.
Adrian Hill
>what is Google? that shits comical.
It really is confusing how people can setup an email account to sign up for a forum to ask a question on emulation,and then give up when the answer isnt right in their face.
Isaac James
Is Mario and Luigi Paper Jam worth downloading to see if it works?
Adrian Stewart
>worth downloading Eh, it's alright, but the previous game was better.
Ethan Young
I'm currently playing through Dream Team and it's fun (and runs pretty well)
Nathan Wood
It's common that games using the same engine (that is the case for lot's of Nintendo games, because Nintendo = lazy as fuck), run with the same performance/problems. So this is a good reference for testing Citra
>donating money to an emulator You may as well just buy the damn console
William Bell
I agree. It'll be so funny if exzap just disappear with the money at a random point in time...
Isaac Wilson
Not working for me. It generates a game.cxi but citra can't play it
Sebastian Cox
What game are you trying to run? It makes game.cxi for me and runs fine so it probably depends on the game
Lincoln Robinson
Monster Hunter Generations. I don't actually expect it to run but it doesn't boot at all, citra says it can't load it. I'll try something else
Hunter Wilson
Nevermind, crashmo works. I just thought MH would at least boot to a black screen or something
Christian Mitchell
Bumpan.
Evan Allen
Hello. Using Visual Boy Advance to play Pokémon Yellow but having an issue. Holding down space causes the game speed to increase to 5000% which is way too fast. I've had a look around the options but I've only found a way to change the base games speed or to make the space bar a toggle. Is there anyway I can change the speed of the space bar to say 200% instead of 5000%
Ryder Ward
>VBA
Owen Evans
Is there a better one? I have no idea for Gameboy emulators?
Grayson Martinez
mGBA
Liam Torres
>mGBA The correct answer is bgb.
Go into the options, joypad tab, and configure the controls. Then check 'configure extra buttons' and set the fast forward to whatever you want. Press skip for ones you don't care about changing. Then go into the misc tab and set 'Undelayed speed' to the multiplier you want fast forward to run at(defaults to 10x).
Brody Hill
So there isn't a way to change the boost speed? Changing Throttle only changes the default speed

This shit needs to work with Retroarch Lobby. Could play DS games online again.
Hudson Martinez
Pokemon emulates fine if you have the specs. I play at 1080p with little to no dropped frames.
Lucas Ramirez
And the resolution is relevant because?
Xavier Davis
Because you're a fucking nigger, that's why.
Blake Sanchez
Funny
Noah Flores
You can already play DS games online using alternate WFC servers and a hacked up DeSmuME.
Isaiah Cruz
Yeah but's a pain in the ass and no one's online.
It also only works with wifi games and not local MP titles like this does.
I remember using motionjoy years ago but after fiddling with it all morning & afternoon I'm just going to buy a logitech instead at the rate it's going lads
I just wanted to play Street Fighter 3rd III with a buddy
>Pokemon emulates fine if you have the specs. What sort of specs are we talking here? The 3DS isn't exactly a powerful machine, I don't see how emulating it could be taxing on any sort of computer made in the past 5 years.
Ryder Adams
Most emulator devs don't default to a natural zeromus-style self sabotage state when enough stupid "tech support" questions come. Weird, I know.
William Perry
Emulating things isn't as easy as dumping a game and adding .exe to the end of it. It takes a lot of fine tuning to get it to run right.
Connor Hughes
Saturn isn't a powerful machine either, but this don't stop precise emulation of the system being a performance whore. 3.5 GHz for Omega Red/Alpha Sapphire is enough for 100% speed on most cases, Sun/Moon has real problems with more geometry being rendered at the same time, so I would not care for "good specs" so soon.
