Read the General problems FAQ before asking questions. If you still need help, post your specs (speccy screenshot), OS, 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.

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.

Trying to emulate Pokemon Stadium (the jap version) but the gym leader castle and some cups bug out and don't save the progress.
Gym leader castle doesn't let me pick anything past the first gym despite beating it and the cups with multiple difficulties only let me get the trophy from the first difficulty but not the second, so I can't play any of the further ones.

Tried 3 different emulators (simple64, Ares, Gopher64) and they all had the same issue.

Did I fuck up going for the Japanese version instead of the International one? Having a hard time even googling for others with the same issue.

I played the european version of the game and managed to finish it, so must be something specific to this version. Also, which japanese version? The OG with not even all the pokemon inside or the one that was called Pokemon Stadium at the international but was actually Pokemon Stadium 2 for them?
>>
>>564381773
Poke Stadium 2
Just didn't want to call it that to not mix it up with the Gold and Silver one
Also switching to the international one would be a real pain in the ass now that I've already grinded out my pokemon in the Japanese Red and Green versions.

Could be that it'd work better on some of the plugin based emulators, who knows.
>>
>>564383060
I never add any problem with the european version on Ares. And since it's happen in three different emulator, maybe something is wrong with that specific version.
>>
>>564383274
Yeah I'm wondering if it could even be something with the specific ROM I got, although that seems pretty unlikely.
I'll probably try to get a different ROM, if it doesn't work one more emulator, and if that doesn't work I'll either just give up or try the international version. Just grinding one broken Mon per cup isn't that much work if you fill the rest of your team with rentals.

You could also try to load the japanese GB game into the international version, who knew, could work, I've managed to do that with a (light) rom hack even.

Tried it on Retroarch with whatever outdated mupen64-plus core I had on it, and while it looked and ran like shit, surprisingly it did work.
Guess the other emulators I tried were too similar to each others.

I guess the easiest way to go from here is to figure out how to transfer my save between emulators so I don't need to beat the other cups again and can just use my saved up rosters in RA instead of dealing with how to set up the transfer pack on it.

Kind of boggles the mind a bit. I always figured if software was broken no renderer will fix it but I guess it's just as error prone.

but no, don't merge it Refagtion, god forbid you eat some humble pie for the sake of user experience. Make users download tons of compiler bloat and waste their time with instructions and building every time they want a new version. Make them trust some misanthropic freak's build on here. You can trust ciggy, a guy who will submit bugs on one hand and knowingly waste your time with one hand, and hold a knife behind his back and call your emulator shit on 4chan with the other.

All the same faggot who a-logs emudevs (was up Duckstation/Stenzek's ass for eons but is now on to Ymir, occasionally PCSX2 and Ares), posts fetish content on here, simpson-avatars. Claimed this doughy retard Matthew LaFrance was Stenzek for years but is clamming up on it when pressed now.

Refraction is the lead PCSX2 dev, or was, a lot more absent/backseat these days. You're looking at Parallel-GS, a 3rd party renderer for PCSX2 that's superior to GSdx and software mode, but Refraction won't merge it because he doesn't want to support it, so people have to get it by some pain in the ass of their choosing: Retroarch, Arch Linux build, compiling themselves, or trusting a Win64 build on here.

I once transferred saves just by putting the .srm file inside the right directory. Perhaps it will work for you.

You can also try the ParaLLEl options on Mupen64Plus-Next to make it output closer to real hardware.
>>
>>564399428
>that's superior to GSdx and software mode
Nope, still has issues with the majority of games and doesn't run on older hardware( don't you dare deny it, same shit happened with the n64 version until the dev was bullied into fixing his mess).
> because he doesn't want to support it
Or he doesn't want to deal with a bazillion more bugs with a dev that is very infrequent when it comes to updating.

You just witnessed an example of even software mode failing in comparison to it. PGS is superior or at the very least equal to GSdx in rendering accuracy without a teetering stack of hacks propping it up. Just merge it with an "it is what it is" asterisk or popup or something, fuck.
>>
>>564399428
>refraction doesnt want people to open more issues from a foreign software implementation created by someone else
Very fair. Why there's no PGS fork done by someone else? That way the PCSX2 team doesnt have to support a software they didnt create.
>>
>>564401841
That would be nice, been suggesting that for a minute. That's more accountable than someone's :^) build on catbox. TheMaieeaister has an Arch Linux build, effectively a fork, ready, but that's Lunix.
>>
>>564401334
I already found the software to convert the .fla files into .srm and back and beat some cups and gym leaders.
At this point it kinda werks so I won't fuck around with it any further. Simple64 is nice since it lets me keep 4 different saves on each transfer pack easily, so I'll just throw the save to retroarch and back when I need to.

My 10-year-old Alienware 17R3 with a GTX 970m is still fighting like a champ. I’ve been playing God of War on LARPS2 without parallel-gs, and it ran great at 4x native resolution. A few months ago, it crashed and I had to switch to either OpenGL or DirectX, I can’t quite remember which. Performance-wise, it’s just as good as standalone PCSX/Dolphin
Emudevs are definitely optimizing their shit.

Yeah 970M is actually solid for about 95% of emulators (excluding specific cases like parallel-GS, Xenia Canary, or shadPS4 etc). The real bottleneck is that i7-6700HQ, the EmuGen wiki puts the HQ in the "Level 1" performance tier (unlike the desktop 6700 variant). That CPU is what’s going to struggle with newer emulators from here on out.

Also, if you have an OLED I have no idea why you would. The perfect black space is far more immersive than lit elements surrounding the game, especially in a dark room. It was only done on SGB because of scaling issues. This makes a little more sense on a LCD but meh, it's corny.

Only play FFX through XIII. The earlier ones are just generic turn-based JRPGs that were only popular because of the era, weebs and midwits. You can find better turn-based games and dungeon crawlers on the Amiga and other computer systems. Old FF games are just a massive time-sink and look like garbage, even on a CRT. XIV is fine if you like MMOs, but anything newer is just corporate slop rehashing the same ideas.

Ever since they switched to rolling releases after the 1.7-dev builds, I don't think that's a huge problem anymore. Although, I feel like they're stalling too much on the upcoming 2.8 release; because of that, a ton of features are just sitting in the dev builds. There are still a lot of PRs planned for 2.8 that seem stuck right now. I wonder what their actual plan is.
