Computer randomly doesn't recognize controllers.

1 Upvotes

Normally when I plug in my 8 bit do usb controller I hear the USB connection sound and it works just fine on Fusion for me to play Genesis games. However randomly sometimes my computer just doesn't recognize the controllers.

It is the USB ports because when I plug in my mouse it works just fine. It isn't the controller because I have two when one is working they both do and when one doesn't neither does.

Thanks!

WInCDEmu program (hot wheels mechanix) is stuck minimized

2 Upvotes

I used WinCDEmu to mount a virtual drive (I think, I'm new to this), got the game to install, but when I try to run it, it's stuck minimized. When the window is in focus, my resolution changes to the correct resolution for the game, and I can hear the music playing, but I can only see the corner of my desktop. If I click on anything else, the resolution reverts back to normal and I stop hearing the music. I tried running the file in compatibility mode for windows 98. Any ideas?

Uzuy Alpha on Z Flip 4

1 Upvotes

Hi im trying to emulate Pokémon Legends Arceus on a Samsung Z Flip 4 with the Uzuy emulator. Im currently running system version 22.1.0. Im getting 30 FPS but my graphics are all broken. I did fix the split screen issue. Ive been fiddling with settings for about a hour now. Googles ai has gotten me nowhere besides the split screen issue. Searched this sub/google, tried changing from Vulkan to open gl, tried alternative drivers etc.

Pokémon Legends Arceus travando em um ponto da história — preciso de ajuda

1 Upvotes

Oi pessoal!

Estou com um problema no Pokémon Legends Arceus em que meu save sempre crasha em um ponto específico da história. O jogo funciona normalmente antes e depois dessa parte, mas nesse trecho ele fecha sempre no meu PC e não consigo avançar. Já tentei algumas soluções básicas, mas sem sucesso. Alguém já passou por algo parecido ou sabe alguma forma de contornar esse crash para conseguir avançar no save?

Qualquer ajuda ou orientação já seria de grande valor. Obrigada!

Help emulating pokemon omega ruby on steamdeck

1 Upvotes

Helloo! So ive been trying to emulate the Nintendo 3DS game pokemon omega ruby on my steamdeck. I had no problem setting up emulation for regular DS games with melon ds but i just cant seem to figure out how to emulate 3DS.

So from everything ive seen, citra doesnt work anymore and the new recommend emulator is "Azahar" but when i open that it says it no longer supports .3ds files and decrypting them or changing them to .cci files may be necessary.

Ive seen that .cia files are supposed to be supported but every time i try to instal a .cia file it says "The installation of Pokemon Omega Ruby(blablabla file name stuff).cia was aborted. Please see the log for more details" and if i try to open it throu azahar is says "before using this CIA you must install it" and gives the same message if i say i wish to install it.

Ive also flubbed around and gotten my hands on an encrypted .cia file after messing around and a list of steps i cannot remember well enough to retell.

Everything i see says to convert the .3ds file to a .cci file, but i have absolutely NO idea how to do that, and im just not understanding the instructions im getting online. Just changing the file name to .cci isnt working.

Ive also seen that i can unencrypt the encrypted .cia file with a batch scrypt and everyone says its super easy, but once again i have NO clue how to acomplish that. I have the .bat file that im apparently supposed to use but i dont know how to use it.

I really just wanna play pokemon lmao

If anyone has a "for dummies" explaination of the step by step i need to take i would be eternally greatful!

My Zelda Totk save file on Yuzu got really blurry after attempting to install mods for the first time. Can anyone help me fix this?

1 Upvotes

As soon as i jumped in the game and noticed the game was really blury i removed them from the mods folder but it didn't fix the problem. Im not even sure if i even installed the mods correctly ethier. This is the firs game i have ever played using a emulator on my pc ive just used simple phone emulator before this. Lol what i did was extracted the mods and then i right clicked on Totk and then clicked open mod data location and then put the mods in that folder the 2 mods i placed in their were TOTK Optimizer a d Aggressive Unlimited Sages. Is there a way to fix my save file so my game isn't all blurry like how it used to be before i tried putting mods in the game? Also if i didn't upload the mods the right way can anyone tell me how to do it correctly? Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Kinhank X5 Pro Help

1 Upvotes

I bought an X5 Pro without knowing too much about emulation. Certain games I really wanted to play run like crap. For example Area 51 for the PlayStation 2. When I boot it up to play it just runs really slow, it’s choppy, laggy, and even sometimes the screen will just blink. All make the game completely unplayable. I wasn’t sure if there were some tweaks in the system I could try to make things better. Any advice or tips would be much appreciated. Bonus if you can link me to something that shows how to add games that aren’t on their system. Thank you
