===CHD=== | |||
Stock Mednafen does not include support for CHD (Compressed Hunks of Data) files, partially due to a size limitation for loaded files (hence why it accepts CUE sheets rather than BIN or ISO), but there are some unofficial builds and forks that add this functionality, such as [https://github.com/psakhis/emu4crt emu4crt], a custom fork that optimizes Mednafen for usage on CRT monitors, though in some cases it tends to be somewhat unstable and prone to crashes. The [https://reglinux.org REG Linux] community has [https://github.com/REG-Linux/mednafen a custom build of Mednafen] with full CHD support available on their GitHub, but it must be compiled from source as there are no releases. However, there is [https://github.com/platinumb3rlitz/mednafen/releases/tag/mednafen-1.32.1-windows-chd a precompiled Windows version] of this build available via a mirror of the repository created by another user. | |||

====Sprite limit==== | ====Sprite limit==== | ||
This is a feature on older systems, due to hardware limitations, that makes it only display so many sprites could be on screen at the same time. Most systems got around this limitation by alternating which sprites were on the screen each refresh, causing the sprite to flicker. Mednafen's default settings are true to the original system limits, but this can be disabled in the .cfg file. Here is the list of options from the .cfg file to change from 0 to 1 if you don't wish to have the limit. | This is a feature on older systems, due to hardware limitations, that makes it only display so many sprites could be on the screen at the same time.

These cores (except PC-FX) also have a boolean setting called h_overscan which if it's enabled (1) some overscan (which is most known as black bars) on both sides will appear, but width size is still inaccurate. | These cores (except PC-FX) also have a boolean setting called h_overscan which if it's enabled (1) some [[overscan]] (which is most known as black bars) on both sides will appear, but width size is still inaccurate. | ||
