'''Can I run [insert emulator here]?'''
See: [[Computer specs]]
As emulators develop, they generally become more [[Emulation_Accuracy|accurate]], emulating more Well there can be a number of the system's functionsreasons why it can slow down. This results in greater compatibility, and fewer glitches but at the expense of speed *Try closing other programs first. More While CPU power usage is neededone factor, games are not the only thing that could be using the <u>disk</u>, especially if you're not using a solid state drive. *It may make sense could have been reset to the default CPU priority, which you could have set to use an older max on the old version.*The new version didn't detect the previous settings that works well for a specific game if your system is not able to handle sped up the modern games.*The new version. But newer versions may also be optimized or perform more efficiently as wellhave lost support entirely for settings that sped up the games, probably in favor of [[Emulation_Accuracy|accuracy]].

===Save states===
Save states are not compatible between different versions of emulators, or between different emulators. Don't rely on them. Use real/battery saves which typically can be transfered, even if they need converted first.

===Archives===
'''I downloaded a file in a compressed archive (zip/rar/7z format), and inside but it are has a lot of files labelled either starting with r00/r01 etc, or part1/part2 etc , or 001/002 etc files. What are these?'''
It's a split archivein a full archive. Why that happens is beyond us, but all you need to do to use it is to unpack it with whatever software you have, usually RARwhich means WinRAR, WinZip, et cetera. Make sure If you do not have either of those and don't have a way to decompress split archives, get [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip] installed. Do not use WinRAR. Extract and extract all those the files somewhereto a folder nearby. Then, right click on using your software, select the first in archive and extract it (some programs insert shell extensions that allow you to extract files straight from the sequence (e.g. r00/part1/etcright-click menu) , and, depending on the program used, you should have an "Extract Here" command. Use it; it'll output all the expected files you're looking for. You can then proceed to delete all those r0x/partx/etc files if you wantthe archives.
