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:Has an add-on that no emulator has implemented. Wait for a fix.;Slot-2 (GBA bonuses) not working: shooting statuesSome 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), however is emulated in [[melonDS]] Read [http://youtumelonds.bekuribo64.net/vHVf_ZvdUkEcomments.php?id=110 this post]for more info.

==GBC====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).

==PS2==Note: If *These games rely on cartridge reading speeds more than usual for other games. This causes crashes at start-up that can be circumvented with ARDS cheats in [[No$|No$GBA]], or cause frequent freezes every half hour or so on [[DeSmuME]] (meaning the in-game battery save feature is not set in options far more preferable to 60Hz it might lead save states). [[melonDS]] recently solved the cartridge reading speed emulation and fixes were ported to graphic problems from the get goother emulators.*There's also anti-piracy for good measure, some examples being God Handwhich can be disabled with Action Replay codes, Metal Slugand graphical glitches.*Unemulated features like the Pokewalk, Tekken 5 the Typing with the Pokemon bluetooth keyboard and Destroy All HumansDownload Play event cards.===Metal Gear Solid 3===*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.*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 game needs 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 very [[Computer specs|high end CPU]] to run at full speed and will run slowly Nintendo letter stating that all forms of multiplayer (even local) were illegal, meaning forks were spread on most CPUsfile 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.  All of On the various blades of grass are one culprit cause of slowdownbright side, save editors still exist.

===Zone of the Enders 1 and 2Super Nintendo Entertainment System===;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. The game needs will run a cartridge check the 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 Japanese, soft reset the emulator. You'll need to do 2 checks like this. After that, an .rtc file is created, and all subsequent boot-ups of the games will play normally.:The English fan-translation so far runs on higan / bsnes, requiring an xml file named the same as the patched ROM, and a very manifest.bml file, all under the same directory. The game can be opened 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 [Computer specs|high end CPUhttp://www.dropbox.com/s/7r1kwcjathngppr/spc7110-patch.zip?dl=1 GX Wii]([http://github.com/dborth/snes9xgx/releases/tag/4.3.7 Source] to run at full speed) can boot the ROM alone.
