Changes

Here is 's a list of notable games that can be problematic to emulate. Solutions are provided if possibleto the best of our ability.

==PS1Nintendo=====Metal Gear SolidGame Boy / Color===MGS has anti-piracy features, ;Pinball Deluxe:This game hangs on every single emulator except for inaccurate ones and needs real BIOS to work. Do not use simulated BIOS in PCSX-R. These will just give a blank screen. If you are using BIOS and it for SameBoy (Not saying that SameBoy is still not working, try different BIOS filesinaccurate).

If ===Game Boy Advance===;Wario Ware Twisted, Yoshi Topsy Turvy, Koro Koro Puzzle:Motion control emulation for these games were not implemented until myBoy and mGBA added them. Patched ROMs exist that allowed playing Wario Ware Twisted with the D-Pad.;Boktai series:Relies on a solar sensor to recharge an in-game stutters, enable gauge that affects gameplay. ROM patches were made to change the solar sensor level with the D-Pad but proper emulation was not implemented until NO$GBA and mGBA added it.;Famicom/Classic NES Series:Throws a Gamepak Error at start-up. It was actually an anti-piracy/emulation tactic. Emulation of the relevant fix needed behavior was implemented in your sound pluginmGBA.

Trying to fight Psycho Mantis on an emulator ===Nintendo DS===;[[Nintendo_DS_emulators#iQue_DS_Region_Lock|iQue (Chinese DS) games]]:Throws a glowing error at start-up "Only for iQue". It's a rudimentary form of regional lock that can't change controller ports? Die enough times only be circumvented by opening the ROM with a hex editor and you will be given another methodchanging one byte at a specific address at the moment.;DSi:Some games outright crash, or show the wrong text (like Shantae showing "Localisation not found"). This is solved by using a NAND dump. The Camera is still not emulated.;Mag Slide Kid: shooting statuesHas an add-on that no emulator has implemented. Wait for a fix.[http;Slot-2 (GBA bonuses) not working://youtuSome games like Lunar Knight and Mega Man Star Force removed this feature during localization, so play the Japanese versions instead. Solar sensor bonus in Lunar Knight (aka Boktai DS) in particular is still not emulated.be/vHVf_ZvdUkE]

==Game Boy Color====Pokémon issues=Shantae===VBA doesn't emulate the game properly. Use [[Gambatte]] or [[VisualBoy Advance|VBA-'''M''']] insteadSpecifically Gen 4 (3), Gen 2 remakes (2), and Gen 5 (4).

==Nintendo DS=====Pokemon Series===All of the Pokemon *These games rely on cartridge reading speeds more than usual for other games have issues. This causes crashes at start-up that can be circumvented with ARDS cheats in [[No$|No$GBA]], owing or cause frequent freezes every half hour or so on [[DeSmuME]] (meaning the in-game battery save feature is far more preferable to save states). [[melonDS]] recently solved the fact that the DeSmuME devs hate the series cartridge reading speed emulation and refuse fixes were ported to fix themother emulators. You *There's also anti-piracy for good measure, which can't trade between emulators (devs refused to merge WiFi implementation)be disabled with Action Replay codes, and there are tons of graphical glitches. Save yourself *Unemulated features like the Pokewalk, the trouble Typing with the Pokemon bluetooth keyboard and just get a flash cartDownload Play event cards. ===*The emulation runs in standard DS clock speed mode on most DS emulators, meaning it doesn't take advantage of the DSi===enhancements, though No$GBA recently implemented that partially.DeSmuME does not support DSi *The Wi-Fi connectivity features remained under-developed as the devs wanted with their ''creative differences''. Local multiplayer needed for trading monsters between two copies (but also used in other games) isn't possible. This recently got resurrected as a functional WIP feature in melonDS.*Online multiplayer was functional in as early as 0.9.7, but rumors spread about a Nintendo letter stating that all forms of multiplayer (even local) were illegal, meaning forks were spread on file sharing sites more than through fork developers themselves. Despite Nintendo's servers going down in 2014, alternative servers covering only the downloadable content still exist. On the bright side, save editors still exist.

==PS2==Note: If the game DeSmuME-libretro is not set in options to 60Hz it might lead to graphic problems from the get go, currently playing catch-up with graphical fixes and some examples being God Hand, Metal Slug, Tekken 5 freezing bugs here and Destroy All Humans.===Ace Combat 4/5/Zero===AC Zero has no hit detection, so it's unplayable. 4 and 5 are perfectly playable in software mode, but all 3 have major graphical issues in hardware mode. Use software mode if your PC is up to the taskthere.

===Jak and Daxter SeriesSuper Nintendo Entertainment System===Suffers from crazy visual errors like blacked out eyes;Tengai Makyou Zero:The Japanese version of the regular and limited edition releases used to require external graphical packs. This requirement is no longer present in all emulators but ZSNES and an obscure Snes9x Android port used for a Chinese fan-translation. It's fairly supported on all emulators. Run The game will run a cartridge check the game first time it boots. Press either A or B depending on what it shows on screen, and then when it shows you a new message in software modeJapanese, or activate soft reset the alpha hack emulator. You'll need to fix do 2 checks like this. After that, an .rtc file is created, and all subsequent boot-ups of the shadowsgames will play normally. Blacked out eyes :The English fan-translation so far runs on higan / bsnes, requiring an xml file named the same as the patched ROM, and a manifest.bml file, all under the same directory. The game can't be fixed without using software modeopened from the ROM on standalone higan, and from manifest.bml from RetroArch. Modified builds of Snes9x for [http://www.mediafire.com/file/q8hqh0cdfwy48sd/snes9x_tmz.rar Windows (1.5.4)] and [http://www.dropbox.com/s/7r1kwcjathngppr/spc7110-patch.zip?dl=1 GX Wii] ([http://github.com/dborth/snes9xgx/releases/tag/4.3.7 Source]) can boot the ROM alone.
