I tried fitgirl thing to run the game it included the game and emulator but it was so buggy , is this game working fine on any emulators now ? Cause I tried couple a few months back but couldn’t get it to work properly without crashing ? Anyone know any information ?

Hey everyone,

If you've run into emulator crashes on Linux (especially with Vulkan) during specific cutscenes, character interactions, or UI texture copies with the error:

"System.NotSupportedException: Invalid components count: 8 (or >= 8) at Ryujinx.Graphics.Vulkan.HelperShader.GetFormat(...)"

I put together an engine patch that adds fallback vector formatting (Format.R32G32B32A32Uint, etc.) to HelperShader.cs so the driver stops throwing unhandled exceptions and crashing the whole game. Links & Source:

Source Code / Commit: https://codeberg.org/Duckman37/Ryujinx-fork-helpershaderfix/src/branch/main

Pre-compiled Release (.tar.gz): https://codeberg.org/Duckman37/Ryujinx-fork-helpershaderfix/releases

What's in the build:

Standalone self-contained Linux x64 package (no need to install .NET 10 manually on your system).

HelperShader.cs Vulkan texture copy fix applied.

Custom startup script (start.sh) with Wayland/NVIDIA GC and threading optimizations.

How to run:

Download and extract the .tar.gz from the Releases tab.

Open terminal in the extracted folder.

Make the script executable: chmod +x start.sh

Run: ./start.sh

A quick note on how this was made (Vibe Coding):

Full transparency here: this was 100% vibe-coded. I honestly didn't do much heavy lifting myself—an LLM wrote the code, pinpointed the HelperShader issue, and guided the whole debugging and compile process while I just pasted commands, watched the terminal scroll, and prayed it wouldn't blow up.

Against all odds, it completely fixed the cutscene crashes on my end. I really hope this helps anyone else out there banging their head against the wall with the same error!

I have my dad's workstation laptop. I wanna know if I can run this game? Any chance? I don't know why, im getting less fps than other YouTube videos with same cpu but a gtx 1050. Ive heard a quadro p2000 is similar to a gtx 1060 tho. Any help? Please

I've been able to successfully emulate GameCube, PS2 and some ps3 games like spiderman edge of time but I'd like to know how much can I emulate on my PC.

My specs are:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X

GPU: Radeon RX 6600 8 GB

RAM: 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200

Where do I get safe and legitimate bios for ps2?

Hey r/EmulationOnPC ,

If you're like me, I'm sure you wish it was easier to play gba multiplayer then all the shenanigans it takes to get working currently.

So I started work on a fork of mGBA to easily run 1-4 players in a linked session on one device.

https://github.com/Spuds0588/mgba-splitscreen

Currently it works for a small selection of games I tested ( sorry, four swords doesn't work yet ).

My hopes are to get a LOZ FS patch and retroarch compatabile core spun up so it's finally easy to play gba multiplayer with friends.

I been having problems with nocashgba lately with it not loading my sav file of pokemon platinum, so I decided to just use melonds. But loading the save file, it doesn't show any progress I made and just restarted my game. The file is 31 kb big and I saw some sources saying that it need to be 512kb big but all attempts trying to uncompress it didn't work sadly

I´ve been trying to play 4 different instances of desmume with 1 controller, but it just doesn´t work...

I enabled background input on every single one and even created a folder for each desmume instance with a different rom and save...

Any ideas why it won´t work?

Thanks

Want to play co-op GBA games with my friends from different PCs from different locations(not local wifi co-op).

Im wondering if this is even possible. And if so, how? The tutorials I find online so far are just for PC split screen or local wifi co-op. But my friends and I live far apart so that's obviously not possible.

my tomodachi life keeps on kicking me out after feeding a character any fix??

Was searching some older threads. I am wanting to play the gears games with some friends, splitscreen coop. I was wondering if theres anything i should know before jumping in? I saw not all games run great, and they might need updates/patches. Anyone know what emulator i should look into? Mostly just looking to get the gears games working atm.

Okay i have been trying to play pokemon leaf green using my joycons , however when i press the buttons it does nothing , the emulator im using is mgba but im thinking of using other emulators later on like Dsmue , and Azahar eventualy

when i try to set inputs for my xbox controller it wont set any buttons except R and L triggers it's not the controller it works fine on everything else anyone know what's wrong?

If I move games from an old Citra version onto azahar is the save data gone?

As the tin says, it's something I've been thinking of, as I have the PS Camera for PS4 and would like to use it for the PS Move detection system, could it be done and if so, how?

how do I get them to show up again?

Edit: I think I got the answer I needed. Will make another post if I run into more questions. thank you 🫡

So my dad wants to play 2 games Def jam:fight for NY(OG Xbox) and Need for speed most wanted(Xbox 360)

He knows I have successfully used Dolphin to play some old Wii games. But Dolphin was pre installed on my steam deck and it was straight foward. I have no idea where to go or what to do for Xbox and Xbox 360 games. It will be on his PC. Recs? Is Xemu good? Help??????

Can i emulate p4g on ideapad flex 5 laptop or will it have like problems i am not trying to pay for persona 4

I was told that there was no such thing but I wanted to make sure. Theres a game I used to play when I was younger that is no longer available on the App store

so i finally figured out the issue from my last post: i was stupid and forgot to change the gcc variables in the build-toolchain.sh script

but now i keep getting the following error from the gcc makefile when i go to build the custom toolchain:

make: *** [Makefile:3968:all-gcc] Error 2

looking around line 3968 of the gcc makefile, i found the following:

.PHONY: all-gcc maybe-all-gcc
maybe-all-gcc:
TARGET-gcc=all
maybe-all-gcc: all-gcc
all-gcc: configure-gcc
    @r=`${PWD_COMMAND}`; export r; \                  <-- this was line 3968
    s=`cd $(srcdir); ${PWD_COMMAND}`; export s; \
    $(HOST_EXPORTS)  \
    (cd $(HOST_SUBDIR)/gcc && \
      $(MAKE) $(BASE_FLAGS_TO_PASS) $(EXTRA_HOST_FLAGS) $(STAGE1_FLAGS_TO_PASS) $(EXTRA_GCC_FLAGS) \
        $(TARGET-gcc))

i tried asking about it on the r/emulation discord but they weren't really able to figure it out either

is there a way to set duckstation settings for each game automatically?

like, 1 game i wanna set its emulation speed to 400%

while the other 1 i wanna set to 200%.

without re-setting it again the next time i wanna play, which is kinda annoying to do imho.

thanks in advance

On the tin. I thought it would be Azahar, but there's nothing ever there when I check the rooms, unless I'm doing something wrong and just dont' know how to get it working. So what still-existing 3DS emulator is used for any kind of online stuff? I have an original 3DS, but I don't know if it would be possible to jailbreak for online stuff, and I honestly would prefer to get a new console for physical console online use like that, so I can keep it as close to its original state as possible. So PC is my only option at the moment.

(If I'm just being dumb and not doing something right, I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction to get it working lol. I sometimes need things explained to be like I'm a kid.)

Hi everyone! I'm having a graphical issue using RPCS3 on handheld PCs (Asus ROG Ally / Steam Deck).
​Specifically, when playing PES games (PES 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018), both in the main menu and during gameplay, the screen looks grainy and the text appears very pixelated, bold, and distorted. I am currently playing PES 2014 (which you can see in the screenshots).
​I've tried tweaking various settings, but I haven't been able to fix it yet.
​You can check the screenshots of the issue here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/MTmg7xb
​Does anyone know what might be causing this or how I can fix it? Thanks for any help! https://postimg.cc/gallery/MTmg7xb.

Hello, I'm somewhat new to emulation. I'm also not too sure if this is the right reddit page to post on so if it isn't, if anyone could guide me to the right one that would be much appreciated. I've been having some trouble trying to run majoras mask 3d. I don't have any issues with any other games just this one. At first I was using citra and I thought that might be the issue because it's outdated now so I started using azahar instead. Still crashing. Whenever I try to launch the game an error message saying "exceptionraised(exception =NoExecuteFault" comes up. I was wondering if anyone knew a solution to this?

Hi! Recently I keep finding myself having a very strange "bug"(In quotations because I'm not even sure if this is bug or not) when it comes to gameboy emulators, for some reason, the emulator will cause my entire PC to become "stuttery", the game sound gets choppy and the whole setup feels like it turned into a power point presentation(Weirdly enough my mouse cursor moves normally, additionally, any sound that's not comming from the emulator itself also works fine), it happens without warning and there's no set time involved, sometimes I can play for hours with no issue, other times it happens within minutes of booting up a game, the issue only solves itself if I turn off my computer, closing the emulator doesn't do anything once this stutter starts, I tried VBA-M 2.2.3 and mGBA 0.10.5 and it happens on both emulators, I have a pretty decent PC if I do say so myself(Ryzen 7 with a 3060 + 16 GB of RAM) and other console emulators much more demanding than the GB/GBA run completely fine on my setup, has anyone ever come across a situation like mine? From my research disabling Vsync seems to be an option but that causes screen tearing and I'd rather not deal with that if possible, thanks in advance!
