==Steps to take==

===1. Update to the latest version===

Emulators can have stable builds that are weeks, months, and sometimes even years old. The "stable" version is often just a randomly picked dev (short for development) version, which is why the latest dev versions should often be preferred, as they solve emulation issues most of the time. Links to dev builds can be found on the pages ~~for [[PCSX-Reloaded|PCSX-R]],~~ [[PCSX2]], [[Dolphin]], [[~~nullDC]], [[DeSmuME~~]] and [[PPSSPP]].

~~For '''PCSX2''', check the [[PCSX2#Issues|issues section of its wiki page]].~~
