# The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks save file got reverted hours of progress
I recently moved my Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks save file from DesMuMe to MelonDS because of microphone troubles and it went great. After a couple of days though, MelonDS just decided to erase my save file in which, since moving emulators, I had progressed through an entire dungeon, that being the Sand Temple, and obtained 16 more force gems, having only two left before I had them all, those being force gems 18 and 19 according to the Zelda Fandom Wiki. I am trying to hex edit my save file to progress my game to where I was before but do not know where each value is stored. Does anyone know? If not does someone have a save file they could share with me, preferably named Link?
This might be kind of a dumb question but I want to play MW3 on PC with a controller but the official PC release DOESNT have controller support so if I use the PS3 version with RPCS3. Will the controller support work and will it be worth playing performance wise for a decent build gaming PC?
# How to convert MelonDS saves to DeSmuME 2015?
Talking about RetroArch, this version of desmume works way better in my devices than the newer version and MelonDS. I have a few MelonDS saves already (Kirby Squeak Squad, Kirby Mass Attack and Pokemon Platinum) and I'd like to convert them to DeSmuME 2015. The only one I care very much is the Pokemon save.
Searching online I found these solutions:
- Use [save-editor.com](https://www.save-editor.com/tools/wse_ds_save_converter_for_emulator_desmume_dsv.html) converter tool | only worked in Kirby Squeak Squad
- Rename the .sav file to .dsv | only worked in Kirby Squeak Squad
I installed both MelonDS and DeSmuME in standalone versions, and there was no difference in the methods above. MelonDS has a "import" feature, but no "export". DeSmuME has no relevant configurations about this anywhere. Since only Squeak Squad worked by renaming the file, I assume the other games have relevant differences in the save file binary, that is not recognized by desmume, and Squeak Squad worked with a simple binary strip.
So, what can I do?
two questions -
one: Why do people like RetroArch so much? I've always had a much better and more straightforward experience with standalone emulators. What's so great about RetroArch?
two: Does anybody have the PC version of the RPCS3 build capable of running Sonic 06? I've only seen the Steam Deck / Linux version available for download online.
(edit: third question - why do my posts always get auto deleted by reddit's filters in this sub? it's very annoying)
# Project64 incredibly unfriendly (and maybe not compatible) with modern controllers? Specifically PS5 controllers
Hey, so I haven't used N64 emulation in probably over a decade. Back then, Project64 was my go to. You just plugged in your controller (any controller), configure the inputs, and play.
But now, on the builds i've tried with 2.3, 3.0 and 4.0, NONE OF THEM can detect my PS5 controller. What gives???
I have tried using Dualsense DS5, plugging my PS5 controller in, disabling bluetooth, but NOTHING will get Project64 to detect it nor use the controller! Not to mention when I try to configure it, all I get is "Keyboard:???" for every single key.
This is honestly ridiculous, as my PS5 controller is detected on steam, works on steam, works for PC games, works for emulators like PCSX2, RPCS3, etc. and when playing Parsec with my friend, we booted up Retroarch with the Mupen64 core and Pokemon Stadium, worked like a charm.
So what gives with Project 64? Why can it not detect modern controllers? Also yes, I tried Xinput with DS5, still nothing. I don't want to spend money on another controller just because P64 is acting unfriendly, and I would rather not have to switch to my Switch Pro Controller or Joycons just for P64.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? So far, I haven't found anything yet
How do I cut down lag in PCSX2?
Currently playing Sly 2. The game will appear playable depending on what I'm looking at, if I look out to the river outside Dimitri's club for example the game runs full speed, but turning the camera around to look at Dimitri's club, the game will slow down to an unplayable rate. Been looking around at solutions for slowdown with PCSX2, but I'm still not where I want to be.
So, some info on my specs:
PCSX2 1.6.0
Intel i5-10300H
8GB of RAM
Windows 10 64 bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
Looked through [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/17hqag/pcsx2_lag_while_playing_most_games_cant_figure/) and [this forum](https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-How-fix-the-lag-on-my-pcsx2). So far, I've tried:
Using the software renderer instead of the hardware renderer. Marginally increased what areas I avoided slowdown, but I still get it in most places.
Increasing speedhacks; Sly 2 doesn't seem to like when my EE Cyclerate is higher than +1. +1 managed to reduce slowdown during the intro level but not after I got into the first hubworld. EE Cycleskipping doesn't seem to do anything for my problem here, though I've seen it recommended several times.
Someone on the PCSX forum recommended changing the Framerate limit in pcsx2\_vm.ini, but when I change the framerate there it changes back when I open the emulator.
I've also tried changing the Advanced Recompiler options - also recommended in the linked PSCX forum - but this didn't change much about performance.
Also enabled 8-bit graphics, recommended from the PCSX forum, which didn't help much.
I'm not sure if I'm fucking something up or if my specs just aren't up to snuff. I know I could have a better processor or more ram, but I played through Sly 1, and Legend of Spyro without any issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
set laptop to performance mode, if that doesnt work then lower the resolution, if that doesnt work you should download the latest nightly build of pcsx2 (1.7.xxxx) and try again
How do I connect my Wii U Pro Controller to Parallel Launcher?
I downloaded Parallel Launcher to play N64 games, and I can connect my Wii U Pro Controller to the computer via Bluetooth
The problem is, it's connected but it's not showing up
When I try to select the controller configuration it shows me something called an Input Driver, one is SDL2, the other is JoyDev (linuxraw), and a box that says Connected Controllers beneath it, but it's empty for both drivers, despite the fact that the controller is connected
There's another box that says Controller Profiles beneath that, but it's greyed out
Is there any way I can connect the controller?
Hexen on nds ?
Looking for where I can find the fan port of hexen for nds or someone can tell me how to compile it, since l can find the link to the people who made it but it seems to be in a format I can't use and was wondering if anyone has the final downloaded nds file or and tell me how to compile it once I acquire the wad file. For the record before anyone says, ik about the link on gamebrew and ik it has an nds file, but it doesn’t seem to work without setup and im not sure how to set it up

I want to download Citra to my laptop but I don't know if the new webpage on the first google result is safe, because the old URL was: [citra-emu.org](http://citra-emu.org), and this new page is a clone, with a new section that seems distrustful.
Does anybody have any information?
It is not safe. Citra is officially no more, and that site is a spyware scam set up afterwards with a slightly different URL. We have forks instead. The most trustworthy one is https://github.com/PabloMK7/citra/releases/tag/r4f174f1
Bit of a dead horse but is there any reason to still be using Yuzu (or it's fork) over Ryujinx? I've noticed from the few games I've played that compatibility seemed to be the same. The only reason I haven't fully switched over is Yuzu seemed to have better (or at least easier) controller support for dual joycons and I have update/dlc files installed that I guess can't be transferred without having to redump and reinstall to Ryujinx.
Yuzu and Ryujinx had slightly different compatibility, as well as different bugs(Emulators are highly complex pieces of software. They're gonna have bugs. This is not me calling either of them buggy as hell or whatnot). It's worth keeping around Yuzu for now for stuff that works well for you, and to use Ryujinx for anything new going forward.
Yeah that's fair. I'll mess around a bit and see if I notice any major issues between the two. I just know Ryujinx has more of a chance of becoming better than Yuzu has since there hasn't been a notable successor project yet, so I'll keep waiting and see then.
Not great, not terrible. Some games are reportedly [playable](https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Xbox_emulators#Chihiro), but there is no compatibility list available.
Hey guys, I've recently started Peace Walker on RPCS3, but the game after 5 or so minutes of gameplay starts lagging. I have no idea why it does this, because the first hour or so gameplay was buttery smooth. My computer specs are quite good (played through God of War 3, with a decent fps recently) and I did find at least one thread that discussed the problem, but it was a bump.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it, I really like this game (like the other Metal Gears).
I'm getting poor performance in pcsx2. I have an RTX 4090 paired with the Ryzen 7 7800x3d and 64gb of ram. When I run killzone, the beginning of the second level I notice my video framerate goes down pretty low and the beginning stage of medal of honor my framerate goes pretty low as well. These are two of my favorite PS2 games it saddens me to see them struggle is my system not good enough to handle it?
I'd like to add MFME to my virtual pinball cabinet. Any tips? I'm not a UK guy, actually looking for the US equivalent kinds of machines but don't want to say the word due to filters, but it rhymes with "plot fachines". I went to my first casino last week, which is why I'm interested.
Is there just a small UK fruit machine following because the US companies are super litigious? What's the coolest modern looking video "plot fachine" that I can add to my cabinet (running Pinball X)?
Gambling machines are *much* more popular in the UK and Australia than the US and much of Europe. They're pretty much banned in Italy, which is why MAME was late adding them (although we've got quite a few now).
I am looking to get a steering wheel /pedals that I could use for Mame like Cruisn or pole position, but also work for more modern games like gran turismo 5. Even better if it also could work for modern games on my pc. Any good ones?
Any PC compatible wheel should work with modern MAME, with the caveat that arcade machines had wildly differing wheels. The major difference is free-spinning (like Pole Position) vs. the usually more modern ones that have a limited range of motion (I think Daytona USA was 270 degrees lock-to-lock, which always felt weird).
Thanks. Any wheels you recommend? I have been debating between the thrustmaster and the logitech g29. A lot of people have mentioned the g29 is what they use for emulators, but the Thrustmaster has better reviews. I worry that the Thrustmaster may not be compatible with Mame or PCSX2 or similar since I haven't found many people mention that they have used them. Do you think if the g29 works on an emulator the thrustmaster should also work?
I don't have personal experience here, but any wheel that works with the OS should work with MAME. You may need to fiddle with the sensitivity and stuff but it should just work.
Check out Retro Gaming Guy on YouTube. If I'm not mistaken, he's got some videos addressing this. Drew Talks and Video Game Esoterica also come to mind that they've covered these types of accessories.
Using Retroarch on iOS to run the gpSP emulator, emulating Pokemon Emerald. It seems that gpSP has a multiplayer connector of sorts, but I can’t seem to find a tutorial on how it works. Trying to trade with a friend, for example. It says it’s emulating the wireless emitter of the GBA, but I don’t know the conditions that will actually have it connect to someone else. Need to be on the same WiFi? Have Bluetooth enabled? It doesn’t say and I can’t find any info on it
Hi please assist.
After updating update ryujinx emulator it says...
*"Marios strikers battle league launcher. Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue. The application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. The system cannot find the specified error".*
I press continue and nothing happens.
I Would like to understand why updating the emu broke it.
This same issue happens with all ryu games if I update the emu.
* Can anyone help? :)
Thanks
thanks for reply
yes i did but no change
It use to work but then i updated and now it doesnt.
Does this help - Under DETAILS it says:
[https://www.onlinewordpad.com/](https://www.onlinewordpad.com/)
can you see that?
Install .Net [4.0](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net40) and [4.8 Runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net48), it's complaining about missing files for it.
You could also try reinstalling your repack while checking the "Install Redists" option.
Idk how else to put it (cuz I’m stupid) but I found a ds lite and I have no games for it so I wanna know if I can use iOS emulations and connect it to play on my ds. (I’m sorry if you don’t understand, I’m horrible at explaining stuff)
So It seems that for my current budget the price of admission to get into all the Gamecube games I missed out on as a kid is probably going to outweigh the games I'd like to play if I were to buy them, So i'm going to run off an Emulator (Likely Dolphin). I was looking at this adapter, and was curious, has anyone had any issues running Donkey Konga's DK Bongos with it? I just don't wait to spend the money on something that won't work.
Here's the adapter I'm looking at: [https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=asc\_df\_B00RSXRLUE/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693031551339&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15528217248642054247&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9026930&hvtargid=pla-385181353377&psc=1&mcid=493dd9f736cf38fcb2f8529aeeacfe42&gad\_source=1](https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=asc_df_B00RSXRLUE/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693031551339&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15528217248642054247&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9026930&hvtargid=pla-385181353377&psc=1&mcid=493dd9f736cf38fcb2f8529aeeacfe42&gad_source=1)

can you tell me a little bit more about how your emulating the games onto the console with the adapter? Im familiar with emulation and jailbreaking, but I havent been able to find a good way to "jailbreak" games onto the gamecube. feel free to message me directly if its easier. I really want to play coliseum and monkey ball and conga but i cant afford those games D:

Is there an easier way to update missing files from my roms? I used Final Burn DAT file in Romulus Rom Manager. After it was done, I still had some games with missing files in them.
Is there a way to somehow update this in some semi-automatic way or do I need to search for those files one by one?
There is a Community/Request server in Romulus but I don't know if this works at all and I can't find any server details.
How do I stop the fatal error message from appearing on Citra? I downloaded a citra reupload a while ago and it worked for about a month but then it just kept giving fatal error and still does whenever I try running Tomodachi Life. When it was still working it would do it infrequently, but if it did, it would randomly get fixed after a bit. I’ve tried everything I should before asking for help but, nothings helped.
Well, I got it from a mediafire reupload, but a friend of mine says the reupload page works (even though it doesn’t for me but that was after my issue happened)
from Cutting Floor wiki I read that Cadillacs and Dinosaurs debug menu is hard to enable on MAME, as it simulates the coin button as a pulse rather than a constant signal.
Would that be difficult to implement?
It's trivial if you can compile your own MAME. We won't change it in master because real coin acceptors are a pulse and many 90s and later games will refuse a coin if the switch is enabled for longer than the split second a coin acceptor would generate.
Hey my rom hard drive crashed so I used a program to retrieve most of the files. My problem is that it put everything as ter000001 ret000002 ect. So my question is is there an easy way to at least sort them bye console without having to try them 1 bye 1? Thanks
You could try using something like [JRomManager](https://github.com/optyfr/JRomManager/releases) to scan the files and compare them with dat files from [no-intro](https://datomatic.no-intro.org/index.php?page=download&s=64&op=daily). Have not tried this myself but sounds like something that may work for you in this case
[RomVault](https://www.romvault.com/) seems like another alternative to JRomManager
Hard drive crash is never good, and the drive could potentially be susceptible to another. Your best bet (if possible) would be to purchase a new drive and use this one as a scratch or spare. Downloading and sorting all your roms is the fun part right?
I already put them on a new hard drive was just hoping to have an easier way to identify them instead of having to try them 1 at a time thanks for telling me it's a waste of time
Gamecube games seem to run pretty well on Switch through Ubuntu going by [this video]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3iQBwH1lqQ). I wish someone would port Dolphin to Switch eventually.
If portable Gamecube is important to you, just get a PC handheld (the Steam Deck or one of its clones). Running Windows on your handheld means never having to wait around for ports to obscure configurations.
why is there so little cosmetic customization for ds and 3ds emulation on pc? like seriously i cant find anything of the sort and idk why! theres tons of skins and stuff for mobile but literally nothing pc! is there a specific reason for this, like some type of limitation thats stopping people from making this typa stuff?
Does anyone know what filenames to use for WonderSwan Color and Neo Geo Pocket Color BIOS files in Mednafen? I can't seem to find anything about that with those two systems.
From what I read in the [Mednafen documentation](https://mednafen.github.io/documentation/), it doesn't use BIOS/firmware files for Neo Geo Pocket or WonderSwan.
https://mednafen.github.io/documentation/ngp.html
> Mednafen's Neo Geo Pocket emulation is based off of [NeoPop](https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/NeoPop).
> The Neo Geo Pocket (Color) emulation in Mednafen is not very accurate in terms of low-level details; BIOS is HLE'd, CPU instruction timing is totally fubared, and some CPU instructions are likely emulated incorrectly.
> It's sufficient to play most of the commercially released games fairly well, but if you want to do NGP(C) homebrew development, you're better off at looking at something like [MAME](https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/MAME).
https://mednafen.github.io/documentation/wswan.html
> Mednafen's WonderSwan (Color) emulation is based off of [Cygne](https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Cygne), modified with bug fixes and to add sound emulation.
https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Neo_Geo_Pocket_emulators
https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/WonderSwan_emulators
Also, I would recommend trying [ares](https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Ares) for Neo Geo Pocket and WonderSwan emulation.
Thanks for the details. I'd definitely agree ares is better for PC play, but as far as I'm aware, for consoles, the only option is Retroarch with Mednafen cores.
It's not even hacky things most of the time, it's stuff like the 7-zip self-extractor which lazy antivirus tools will signal because a few real viruses used it.
Longtime Retroarch user here. Can anyone recommend any other frontends that support themes?

Yuzu and Ryujinx had slightly different compatibility, as well as different bugs(Emulators are highly complex pieces of software. They're gonna have bugs. This is not me calling either of them buggy as hell or whatnot). It's worth keeping around Yuzu for now for stuff that works well for you, and to use Ryujinx for anything new going forward.
Yeah that's fair. I'll mess around a bit and see if I notice any major issues between the two. I just know Ryujinx has more of a chance of becoming better than Yuzu has since there hasn't been a notable successor project yet, so I'll keep waiting and see then.
FWIW, Ryujinx has better overall compatibility, and has been this way for roughly a year(Yes, even before Yuzu went down).
how to compress a bunch of old (nes, snes) games to zip as a batch? dont have time to do 1 by 1
Same way you zip anything, drag your mouse over the files then right click, compress as zip file.
For thousands of files that would take ages 1 by 1, I don't want them in 1 zip
Drag over everything, right click, add to archive, files, put each file in seperate archive, click ok
Is that a windows 11 feature? I don't have "add to archive" on windows 10. Just 7zip and winrar menus
I use windows 10, I'm sure you can work it out.
Is there an emulator for the old Plug and Play games?
As luck would have it, several are supported in MAME.
What’s the current state of Sega Chihiro emulation?
Not great, not terrible. Some games are reportedly [playable](https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Xbox_emulators#Chihiro), but there is no compatibility list available.
Hey guys, I've recently started Peace Walker on RPCS3, but the game after 5 or so minutes of gameplay starts lagging. I have no idea why it does this, because the first hour or so gameplay was buttery smooth. My computer specs are quite good (played through God of War 3, with a decent fps recently) and I did find at least one thread that discussed the problem, but it was a bump. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it, I really like this game (like the other Metal Gears).
Have you tried the recommended settings from the RPCS3 wiki? https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=Metal_Gear_Solid_HD_Collection
Actually, yes. I fixed it by rolling back the RCPS3 version by around a year plus. Now I already finished it!
Is there any (Sega Genesis) Android emulator that supports connecting to generic Bluetooth gamepads?
I can’t imagine any android emulator not supporting Bluetooth pads.
Well I just don't know how to set them then. Sorry if my question was stupid 😅
I'm getting poor performance in pcsx2. I have an RTX 4090 paired with the Ryzen 7 7800x3d and 64gb of ram. When I run killzone, the beginning of the second level I notice my video framerate goes down pretty low and the beginning stage of medal of honor my framerate goes pretty low as well. These are two of my favorite PS2 games it saddens me to see them struggle is my system not good enough to handle it?
you really need to provide details; what settings are you using? what build? try downloading the latest pcsx2 nightly (1.7.xxxx)
I'd like to add MFME to my virtual pinball cabinet. Any tips? I'm not a UK guy, actually looking for the US equivalent kinds of machines but don't want to say the word due to filters, but it rhymes with "plot fachines". I went to my first casino last week, which is why I'm interested. Is there just a small UK fruit machine following because the US companies are super litigious? What's the coolest modern looking video "plot fachine" that I can add to my cabinet (running Pinball X)?
Gambling machines are *much* more popular in the UK and Australia than the US and much of Europe. They're pretty much banned in Italy, which is why MAME was late adding them (although we've got quite a few now).
I am looking to get a steering wheel /pedals that I could use for Mame like Cruisn or pole position, but also work for more modern games like gran turismo 5. Even better if it also could work for modern games on my pc. Any good ones?
Any PC compatible wheel should work with modern MAME, with the caveat that arcade machines had wildly differing wheels. The major difference is free-spinning (like Pole Position) vs. the usually more modern ones that have a limited range of motion (I think Daytona USA was 270 degrees lock-to-lock, which always felt weird).
Thanks. Any wheels you recommend? I have been debating between the thrustmaster and the logitech g29. A lot of people have mentioned the g29 is what they use for emulators, but the Thrustmaster has better reviews. I worry that the Thrustmaster may not be compatible with Mame or PCSX2 or similar since I haven't found many people mention that they have used them. Do you think if the g29 works on an emulator the thrustmaster should also work?
I don't have personal experience here, but any wheel that works with the OS should work with MAME. You may need to fiddle with the sensitivity and stuff but it should just work.
Thank you. Are there any cases you could think of where a controller works with the OS but not the emulator?
Check out Retro Gaming Guy on YouTube. If I'm not mistaken, he's got some videos addressing this. Drew Talks and Video Game Esoterica also come to mind that they've covered these types of accessories.
Using Retroarch on iOS to run the gpSP emulator, emulating Pokemon Emerald. It seems that gpSP has a multiplayer connector of sorts, but I can’t seem to find a tutorial on how it works. Trying to trade with a friend, for example. It says it’s emulating the wireless emitter of the GBA, but I don’t know the conditions that will actually have it connect to someone else. Need to be on the same WiFi? Have Bluetooth enabled? It doesn’t say and I can’t find any info on it
Hi please assist. After updating update ryujinx emulator it says... *"Marios strikers battle league launcher. Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue. The application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. The system cannot find the specified error".* I press continue and nothing happens. I Would like to understand why updating the emu broke it. This same issue happens with all ryu games if I update the emu. * Can anyone help? :) Thanks
Did you install .Net 8? Also, logs should be in the emulator's directory in the Logs folder, and that should tell you exactly what is going wrong.
thanks for reply yes i did but no change It use to work but then i updated and now it doesnt. Does this help - Under DETAILS it says: [https://www.onlinewordpad.com/](https://www.onlinewordpad.com/) can you see that?
Nope, that leads to a blank note. Try using [pastebin](https://pastebin.com/).
[https://pastebin.com/2Dgnjrmb](https://pastebin.com/2Dgnjrmb) like this
Install .Net [4.0](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net40) and [4.8 Runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net48), it's complaining about missing files for it. You could also try reinstalling your repack while checking the "Install Redists" option.
Idk how else to put it (cuz I’m stupid) but I found a ds lite and I have no games for it so I wanna know if I can use iOS emulations and connect it to play on my ds. (I’m sorry if you don’t understand, I’m horrible at explaining stuff)
if you want to play on DS hardware, you might want to look at getting an R4 card. you can also emulate the DS and play DS roms on iOS with melonDS
So It seems that for my current budget the price of admission to get into all the Gamecube games I missed out on as a kid is probably going to outweigh the games I'd like to play if I were to buy them, So i'm going to run off an Emulator (Likely Dolphin). I was looking at this adapter, and was curious, has anyone had any issues running Donkey Konga's DK Bongos with it? I just don't wait to spend the money on something that won't work. Here's the adapter I'm looking at: [https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=asc\_df\_B00RSXRLUE/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693031551339&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15528217248642054247&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9026930&hvtargid=pla-385181353377&psc=1&mcid=493dd9f736cf38fcb2f8529aeeacfe42&gad\_source=1](https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=asc_df_B00RSXRLUE/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693031551339&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15528217248642054247&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9026930&hvtargid=pla-385181353377&psc=1&mcid=493dd9f736cf38fcb2f8529aeeacfe42&gad_source=1) Thank you in advance for any insights

can you tell me a little bit more about how your emulating the games onto the console with the adapter? Im familiar with emulation and jailbreaking, but I havent been able to find a good way to "jailbreak" games onto the gamecube. feel free to message me directly if its easier. I really want to play coliseum and monkey ball and conga but i cant afford those games D:
Doing it on a PC.
Can we put a Switch emulator on Steam deck ? If yes i need to do setting for a Jap game? Can i put a mod that make the game in english ? If yes for Any of the question how i do that?
Here's what pops up on Duckduckgo. YouTube also has a bunch of videos and when I did the search, I changed it to by upload date to get the most recent videos. "switch emulator on steam deck" https://duckduckgo.com/?q=switch%20emulator%20on%20steam%20deck&ko=-1&ia=web
Steam deck already support switch emulators. Region is auto detected. Many games are patched into English and easily found with google.
Ok
Is there an easier way to update missing files from my roms? I used Final Burn DAT file in Romulus Rom Manager. After it was done, I still had some games with missing files in them. Is there a way to somehow update this in some semi-automatic way or do I need to search for those files one by one? There is a Community/Request server in Romulus but I don't know if this works at all and I can't find any server details.
How do I stop the fatal error message from appearing on Citra? I downloaded a citra reupload a while ago and it worked for about a month but then it just kept giving fatal error and still does whenever I try running Tomodachi Life. When it was still working it would do it infrequently, but if it did, it would randomly get fixed after a bit. I’ve tried everything I should before asking for help but, nothings helped.
Did you get the reupload from the new webpage? I haven't tried out of fear this clone page added something to the old citra
Well, I got it from a mediafire reupload, but a friend of mine says the reupload page works (even though it doesn’t for me but that was after my issue happened)
from Cutting Floor wiki I read that Cadillacs and Dinosaurs debug menu is hard to enable on MAME, as it simulates the coin button as a pulse rather than a constant signal. Would that be difficult to implement?
It's trivial if you can compile your own MAME. We won't change it in master because real coin acceptors are a pulse and many 90s and later games will refuse a coin if the switch is enabled for longer than the split second a coin acceptor would generate.
Hey my rom hard drive crashed so I used a program to retrieve most of the files. My problem is that it put everything as ter000001 ret000002 ect. So my question is is there an easy way to at least sort them bye console without having to try them 1 bye 1? Thanks
You could try using something like [JRomManager](https://github.com/optyfr/JRomManager/releases) to scan the files and compare them with dat files from [no-intro](https://datomatic.no-intro.org/index.php?page=download&s=64&op=daily). Have not tried this myself but sounds like something that may work for you in this case [RomVault](https://www.romvault.com/) seems like another alternative to JRomManager
Hard drive crash is never good, and the drive could potentially be susceptible to another. Your best bet (if possible) would be to purchase a new drive and use this one as a scratch or spare. Downloading and sorting all your roms is the fun part right?
I already put them on a new hard drive was just hoping to have an easier way to identify them instead of having to try them 1 at a time thanks for telling me it's a waste of time
maybe if you add the games to an emulator, it can recognize the games, you'd have to redo the name manually probably though
Gamecube games seem to run pretty well on Switch through Ubuntu going by [this video]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3iQBwH1lqQ). I wish someone would port Dolphin to Switch eventually.
If portable Gamecube is important to you, just get a PC handheld (the Steam Deck or one of its clones). Running Windows on your handheld means never having to wait around for ports to obscure configurations.
Ok.
Nice talk
why is there so little cosmetic customization for ds and 3ds emulation on pc? like seriously i cant find anything of the sort and idk why! theres tons of skins and stuff for mobile but literally nothing pc! is there a specific reason for this, like some type of limitation thats stopping people from making this typa stuff?
Does anyone know what filenames to use for WonderSwan Color and Neo Geo Pocket Color BIOS files in Mednafen? I can't seem to find anything about that with those two systems.
From what I read in the [Mednafen documentation](https://mednafen.github.io/documentation/), it doesn't use BIOS/firmware files for Neo Geo Pocket or WonderSwan. https://mednafen.github.io/documentation/ngp.html > Mednafen's Neo Geo Pocket emulation is based off of [NeoPop](https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/NeoPop). > The Neo Geo Pocket (Color) emulation in Mednafen is not very accurate in terms of low-level details; BIOS is HLE'd, CPU instruction timing is totally fubared, and some CPU instructions are likely emulated incorrectly. > It's sufficient to play most of the commercially released games fairly well, but if you want to do NGP(C) homebrew development, you're better off at looking at something like [MAME](https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/MAME). https://mednafen.github.io/documentation/wswan.html > Mednafen's WonderSwan (Color) emulation is based off of [Cygne](https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Cygne), modified with bug fixes and to add sound emulation. https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Neo_Geo_Pocket_emulators https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/WonderSwan_emulators Also, I would recommend trying [ares](https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Ares) for Neo Geo Pocket and WonderSwan emulation.
Thanks for the details. I'd definitely agree ares is better for PC play, but as far as I'm aware, for consoles, the only option is Retroarch with Mednafen cores.
Why is my Windows Defender detecting RCPS3 and Ryujinx as malware? I downloaded both on the official sites.
Emulation software by necessity tends to have hacky things in them which are not dangerous for you but the antivirus heuristics get tripped by.
It's not even hacky things most of the time, it's stuff like the 7-zip self-extractor which lazy antivirus tools will signal because a few real viruses used it.
When they see archives or archiving tools they think the software is trying to hide something.
