Hi, i am currently playing solatorobo red hunter on desmume and this flickering didnt happen before today. It only happens during cutscenes and it just rapidly flickers between the top and bottom lcd layouts as well as flickering the actual models, my frame skip is already at zero.

Like i said this didnt happen before and the only thing ive changed so far in the setup is the controls, so i am not really sure whats up. Any tips?

I've been having problems with the switch emulation and I've been thinking if there's another better way to emulate this game on a mac silicon device.

What would be your recommendations?

My original PS3 DS3 controller broke yesterday. I was able to play games with it on Cita through Dshidmini.  My question is, can I use the 3rd party controller on Citra? (not necessarily a PS3 controller, or any controller that uses Dshidmini) This is to Play Monster Hunter XX. 

Am I missing something here? I switched to Vulkan like I did with duckstation and where duckstation let me use it without a problem, pcsx2 saying it could not be found and resets to an older config but when I go to renderer again the toggle is on Vulkan. I do not know if it’s a bug or not so I could use tiny bit of help.

Thanks in advance.

Since I don’t have a PS5 or PS4, I’ve already emulated God of War 1 and 2 on my mobile. Now I want to emulate God of War 3 Remastered on my laptop.

My laptop has an RTX 4050 and a 13th-gen i9, so I’m wondering if it should be powerful enough to run God of War 3 Remastered smoothly with good graphics. I mainly want to know which emulator would be better for this: RPCS3 or shadPS4?

I want the game to run as smoothly as possible with optimal graphics. My laptop also has a 120 Hz 4K OLED display, so I’d really like to enjoy the game at its best.

Does anyone have a proper step-by-step guide for setting it up, preferably using safe and trustworthy sources so I can avoid viruses or other problems?

Thankfully, the rest of the God of War games are available on Steam, so this is the only one I’m trying to figure out.

Hi there, I use PCSX2 just to play def Jam FFNY I've had it for months and have played it with the same USB Nintendo Switch controller.

Earlier today I did the newest update for PCSX2 and loaded up def Jam FFNY as I usually do but my buttons were mixed up, specifically my top and bottom face buttons (Triangle and Cross which are X and B on my switch controller) were swapped for some reason, Since then I've been looking through every controller setting trying to fix it but I can't seem to find a fix

Its incredibly awkward to play the game like this and was wondering if anyone else has dealt with this issue

Hello all. I usually don’t emulate but thought I would try it with Final Fantasy. Yesterday on the 30th my timezone, I did about 2 and half hours of progress going through about 2 dungeons and exploring a new town. Generally saving throughout or at least I thought so? I’m the kind of guy that saves VERY frequently. Even as a kid playing Pokémon I would save twice in a row just to be extra careful.

But today on the 31st my timezone it seems none of it saved from that session from yesterday? I’m 95% sure I did in fact save especially since this game has a savepoint before a boss and it would be unlike of me not to use it. I used the in-game saves and not save states (although from now on I’m definitely going to do both just to be safe.

In fact! I recall a specific instance (this game being FFV) where npcs warn you of an early high level enemy. Knowing I saved I went and explored the are anyway, got ambushed by it and got booted to the title screen and was right back where I left off before entering the dungeon. But when I opened the game just today it was on my progress the day before but not yesterday as if I nevef opened it and played it on the 30th.

The file name and roms are the same. I checked the save files in snes 9x and it wasn’t there. Did I just turn off tje program incorrectly? Does this happen frequently? Would like to know.

so first time im gonna play botw im gonna play on cemu i heard its better then switch emulation

but does the fps++ option change any physics in the game or no? note i have it set to 60 fps and it seems 1:1 animation wise

and is there a good 100% tracker for this game?

Hi guys, please help me. I have installed all the files in order for the Teknoparrot to run, but somehow with all the files downloaded, it still wouldn't launch. Please help.

I stream my PC to my steamdeck via Moonlight/Apollo, which is docked into my LGTV which is 4k 60 fps. When streaming, none of my games have issues, except for Emulation Station. My steamdeck wasn't beefy enough to emulate some of the multiplayer games I wanted (Halo 2, Battlefront 2) so I downloaded the emulators to my PC instead. Now, when I open ES-DE from my TV while streaming, the app loads (you can see the load screen fine), but as soon as the UI opens the frame stuttering becomes intense and only lets up when I move the analog stick to cancel out.

My setup: Dock steamdeck to LG 4k 60 fps TV > Open Moonlight through Steam on steamdeck > connect to my PC via Apollo > run Steam big picture mode on my PC > use my PC on the TV like a console.

Moonlight is set to output at 4K 60 fps, bitrate around 80 or 90. PC is ethernet connected. Steamdeck is over wifi. I don't believe these settings to be affecting my issue because...

I have tested Crimson Desert, Sonic Worlds Racing, Lords of the Fallen, Helldivers II, Senuas Saga (the list goes on) with no stuttering or other issues at all. Occasional 'lower your bitrate' warning on demanding stuff, but rare.

When I open ES-DE as a non-steam game from Steam Big Picture, the introductory loading page displays fine (with the red loading bar filling to 100%), but as soon as the UI opens to show my consoles/games, it goes haywire and black frame stutters dominate the image until only a few real frames are able to flicker through occasionally. When I open the menu and navigate to the quit button, the frame stuttering gets some minor relief it seems, and I'm able to quit out back to Steam. Worth mentioning that ES-DE works fine on my PC when not streaming.

From my research, ES-DE UI might be loading frames at an uncapped or mismatched rate. I think I need to limit the frame rate in ES-DE specifically so it matches the 60 fps of my output. I have AMD graphics, so I used Adrenaline to customize the game profile for ES-DE to lock it at 60 fps using Radeon Chill (Idle FPS target = 60; Peak FPS target = 60). That did not have any impact.

For all I know, the gamefiles run fine, but I haven't tried opening one yet. I've been focused on trying to fing a fix for the ES-DE UI first. To me, the problem seems to be with Emulation Station, not my streaming setup or other system settings.

If there isn't a fix here I will likely just bypass ES-DE and add each game to Steam individually. ES-DE is a slick interface though and I do like having everything neatly in one place.

Any advice?

It started as a personnal project, you see I love old PC games, I collect good old big boxes but settings up dos games has always been a pain in the ass lol

So I started working on this, which basically automates almost every painful steps of dos emulation

Basically you can add a rom you own in any format and ROM90 will automatically detect it and install it properly on either DosBox pure or ScummVM

I've also added a few well needed comfort features :

- Quick resume

- Universal save/load shortcuts

- Fully fledge save state manager

- Keyboard remapping and controller support

- Export options and batch exports for people to share properly their collection

and many more small QoLs that makes Dos emulation almost as easy as most console emulator

I also made a discord, if people need help or want to share their experience, gameplay, tips or collections

More info here : https://rom90.com/

I'm a bit nervous showing this to all of you I hope some of you will find it useful, feel free to ask me anything

I am trying to run The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Cemu on my laptop, but I am running into system stability issues/crashes. Here are my exact hardware specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 5300U (4 Cores / 8 Threads, 2.6 GHz base)
• GPU: Integrated AMD Radeon Graphics (shares system RAM)
• RAM: 8GB DDR4 3200MHz
• OS: Windows 11 (Freshly reset)
• Peripherals: Ares wired controller (XInput)

My Cemu Settings:

• Graphics API: Vulkan
• Async Shader Compilation: Enabled
• CPU Mode: Dual-Core Recompiler (also tried Single-Core)
• Mods: FPS++ enabled (capped at 20/30 FPS), Resolution set below 720p.

Lighter games like Smash Wii U and Twilight Princess HD run completely fine, but BotW causes my system background processes (like network infrastructure) to collapse.

Before I purchase a second 8GB RAM stick to upgrade to 16GB dual-channel, I wanted to double-check with the community: Is my shared 8GB RAM pool the definitive bottleneck here? Will moving to 16GB prevent these system memory allocation crashes?

Thanks for the help!

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m trying to play New State Mobile on my Windows 11 laptop. Is there a reliable way to install and run the game on Windows using an Android emulator?

If anyone is currently playing it on Windows 11, please share:

- Which emulator you use

- Installation/setup steps

- Recommended settings for good FPS and low lag

- Whether keyboard and mouse controls work properly

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🎮

We have a dell optiplex under our main living room tv. We have been playing some online retro games. Is there an emulation frontend similar to the way Jellyfin is for media? Jellyfin will show you a thumbnail of a movie, you can click on it to get more info, pics, trailer, who stars in it etc. It will even give you a 'other movies like this one' option. Would love that for my ROM collection!

I noticed cocoon and iisu is only on android is there any frontend on pc similar?

Every time I try to boot Virtua Fighter on WANGMODEL1, the emulator gets briefly stuck on a black screen before closing. Has anyone else experienced this?

I really want to play skylanders but the cemu nfc window selection just takes all the immersion out of it. I was thinking about making like a diy portal of power but I heard that even normal portals don't work. I was just thinking if I could like.. link a specific skylanders nfc code to another code to skip the manual selection menu? Btw I don't really know how to code anything like that. I was just wondering if it was possible.

an exmple : when i play darkstalkers chroconiles i can't see the characters and characters icons

another example : when i play prinny the backgrounds images is black means i can't see it dood

Ok so I've been using Pokemon Stadium 2 and Pokemon G/S with the transfer pak feature on the Mupen core for retroarch and it's been working pretty well for almost everything such as the lab and all the battle modes, but if I try to use the Mystery Gift feature or access my room, the game always says the GB cartridge's clock data is broken, and won't let me in. Does anyone know of a way to make this work?

I have UKMM fully downloaded with all the mod I want but when I start a image pops up does anyone know how to fix this?

it says, An unrecoverable error occurred. Error details: called Option::unwrap() on a None value

I'm not super into emulation but I wanted to try out Prisoner, couldn't find anyone hosting it online so I'm now trying to emulate it myself. Using AppleWin, I've followed exactly what I need to do to load it up, and it just doesn't work and prints gibberish to the screen.

What's the best course of action? Are the images I'm finding just bad? What's the best way to emulate apple 2 games? (which seems to be ".do", at least that's what I have)

I've only ever emulated old xbox and ps games and it was much easier than this lol

Everytime I open my Melon DS and use it it creates files onto the homescreen on my PC. This doesn't happen to mGBA, only melon DS. How do I stop this?
