Here ==Nintendo=====Game Boy / Color===;Pinball Deluxe:This game hangs on most emulators. [[SameBoy]] is a list one of notable games that can the only emulators known to be problematic to emulate. Solutions are provided if possiblecapable of running this game.

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.
==Game Boy Color=====Shantae===VBA doesn't emulate the game properly. Use [[Gambatte]] or [[VisualBoy Advance|VBADeSmuME-'''M''']] insteadlibretro is currently playing catch-up with graphical fixes and some freezing bugs here and there.

===Ratchet and Clank Series===
All of these games have bad visual glitches in hardware mode due to lack of custom mipmap support, and run slowly due to that. Most issues are fixed with software mode.
===Shadow of the Colossus===
This game needs a very [[Computer specs|high end CPU]] to run at full speed.
===Time Crisis 2===
There is currently no lightgun support in PCSX2.
===Zone of the Enders 1 and 2===
These games needs a very [[Computer specs|high end CPU]] to run at full speed.
==PSP==
===Dangan Ronpa===
Make sure you're using the latest version of [[PPSSPP]].<br />Go to Game Settings > Graphics. If you use a Nvidia GPU, select '''Read Framebuffers to Memory (GPU)''' under "Rendering Mode". If you use an AMD GPU or Android device, select '''Read Framebuffers to Memory (CPU)'''.
===Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker===
As of the latest version of PPSSPP (0.9.9.1) the PC emulation seems entirely playable minus the online, even if the framerate is locked to 20 FPS, that is until one of the last bosses in the game the level "Peace Walker battle 2", the bug is said boss's life not decreasing from the last 2 bars, making the game unbeatable. This issue is fixed in [http://buildbot.orphis.net/ppsspp/ dev builds].<ref>https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/2845#issuecomment-53162768</ref> <!-- Remove this when next stable is released. -->
==GameCube==
===The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures===
GBA connection issues and various other glitches plague this title.
===Star Wars: Rogue Leader \ Rebel Strike===
Both require a strong computer to run at full speed. Minor visual errors may persist.
===Star Wars: The Clone Wars===
As of the latest version of Dolphin (5.0) the only game to not boot. Somehow able to define its own MMU system and change it mid-game, Dynamic MMU support is added in dev builds but requires a strong computer to run at full speed.
==Wii==
===Metroid Prime 3: Corruption===
Suffers from numerous problems. Play it on the real console if you can.
===Metroid Prime Trilogy===
Glitch city. Just play the GameCube versions.
===Zelda: Skyward Sword===
Recommended to use a real Wiimote and Motion Plus to emulate. [https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Skyward_Sword#Wii_MotionPlus See details here.]
It is possible to use a conventional controller with [https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-emulated-motion-plus-unofficial this build], but it's a pain in the ass and not worth wasting your time trying.

this entire section is just extremely outdated. pcsx2 as of the latest nightly has fixed almost all, if not ALL of these issues, including speed-related ones. info is conflicting on these remaining games
Here's a list of notable games that can be problematic. Solutions are provided to the best of our ability.
==GBA==Game Boy Advance===;Wario Ware Twisted===Common emulators don't have gyroscope input, or may 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 allow these games to be able played with the D-Pad.;Boktai series:Relies on a solar sensor to map gyroscope controls recharge an in-game gauge that affects gameplay. ROM patches were made to change the accelerometers solar sensor level with the D-Pad but proper emulation was not implemented until [[No$|NO$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 needed behavior was implemented in your device mGBA.;Mother 3:Sound battles rely on precise timing. Using a flashcart or controller. There's a patched rom with dpad controls3DS Virtual Console injection would fix that problem because direct access to the actual hardware fixes those timings.
==PS1=====Metal Gear SolidNintendo DS===MGS rewrites BIOS commands in order to work, ;[[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 only be circumvented by opening the ROM with a hex editor and just changing one byte at a simulated one won't cut itspecific address at the moment. Do ;DSi:Some games outright crash, or show the wrong text (like Shantae showing "Localisation not use simulated BIOS in PCSX-Rfound"). These will just give This can be solved by using a blank screenNAND dump. If you are using BIOS and it 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:Some games like Lunar Knight and Mega Man Star Force removed this feature during localization, try different BIOS filesso play the Japanese versions instead. Solar sensor bonus in Lunar Knight (aka Boktai DS), however is emulated in [[melonDS]]. Read [http://melonds.kuribo64.net/comments.php?id=110 this post] for more info.
===Super Nintendo DS=====Pokemon SeriesEntertainment System===All ;Tengai Makyou Zero:The Japanese version of the Pokemon games have issues, owing 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 will run a cartridge check the fact that 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 DeSmuME devs hate the series and refuse to fix thememulator. You can't trade between emulators (devs refused ll need to merge WiFi implementation)do 2 checks like this. After that, an .rtc file is created, and there are graphical glitchesall subsequent boot-ups of the games will play normally. Recent builds of DeSmuME:The English fan-libretro have fixed some of translation so far runs on higan / bsnes, requiring an xml file named the same as the graphical issuespatched ROM, and a manifest.bml file, but you all under the same directory. The game can't use be opened from the GBA slot in ROM on standalone higan, and from manifest.bml from RetroArch .

===DSiGameCube===DSi support is only (partially) present in ;Star Wars<nowiki>:</nowiki> Rogue Leader/Rebel Strike:The games are playable, but suffer from some random hangs and other issues.

===Jak and Daxter SeriesPS2===Suffers from crazy visual errors like blacked out eyes. Run the game in software mode, or activate the alpha hack to fix the shadows. Blacked out eyes can't be fixed without using software mode.
