*The problem itself. Do not forget that, because if you do then what comes out makes no sense whatsoever.
==Common Questions==
'''<span style="color:#00C000">>THERE ARE NO FUNCTIONAL 3DS, VITA, PS3, XBOX 360, WII U, PS4 OR XBONE EMULATORS</span>'''
===Specs===
'''1. Q: Can I run [insert emulator here]?'''
A: Generally, emulation runs off the CPU, with the GPU allowing for higher resolutions, AA, etc. If your CPU isn't good enough, you can't emulate a system too well. A commonly-recommended CPU is the '''Intel Core i5 2500k '''or the '''3570k'''. For DeSmuME and PPSSPP, enable the dynarec option for speedups. For GC/Wii and PS2 see the [[Dolphin]] and [[PCSX2]] pages, specifically, for recommended specs if a 2500k/3570k is not a viable option.
===Blurry PS2 ===
'''2. Q: Why is my PS2 game blurry?'''
A: It's either interlacing or a filter in the game itself. For the former, switching the de-interlacing mode with F5 may help, and may cause flicker or screen shaking. For the latter, hacks are required. Either Aggressive-CRC if the game is listed there, or skipdraw (toy with the number, 1-100) might work otherwise.
===ECM format===
'''3. Q: I downloaded a PSX game from emuparadise. It's in .ecm format and won't open in an emulator. Why?'''
A: ECM is a compressed format. You need to decompress using PakkISO or ECM Tools (both provided on the emuparadise download page). It'll output as a .bin usually, which is what the [[.cue]] uses to load the game.
===Keybinds in lilypad===
'''4. Q: I use LilyPad, but the esc key and various others don't work!'''
A: In the Input API (radio buttons in the top left of the LilyPad options), choose raw input.
===Archives===
'''5. Q: I downloaded a file in a zip/rar/7z format, and inside it are a lot of files labelled either r00/r01 etc, part1/part2 etc or 001/002 etc files. What are these?'''
A: It's a split archive, usually RAR. Make sure you have [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip] installed. Do not use WinRAR. Extract all those files somewhere. Then, right click on the first in the sequence (e.g. r00/part1/etc) and, depending on the program used, should have an "Extract Here" command. Use it; it'll output the files you're looking for. You can then proceed to delete all those r0x/partx/etc files if you want.
===PS3 controller===
'''6. Q: How do I connect my PS3 controller to my computer?'''
A: Use [[XInput Wrapper SCP]].
===Save states===
'''7. Q: My save states do not work in the new version of the emulator I downloaded. Why?'''
A: 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.
===Mednafen save states===
'''8. Q: Save states do not work in [[Mednafen]] PSX. '''
A: Save states are not enabled in Mednafen PSX, and will not be added until the developer feels that the emulator is mostly finished.
===MGS blank screen===
'''9. Q: Metal Gear Solid gives me a blank screen.'''
A: MGS has anti-piracy features, and needs real bios to work. Do not use simulated bios in PCSX-R. If you are using bios and it still is not working, try different bios files. And that the BIOS is selected under the Plugins and Bios configuration menu.
===Multi track games===
'''10. Q: The PlayStation 1 game that I downloaded came with a lot of tracks. How do I play it?'''
A: You need to create/run the [[cue sheet (.cue)]]. Support for multi-track games can be found in [[Mednafen]], [[RetroArch]], and [[PCSX-Reloaded|PCSX-R]]. [[ePSXe]] does not support such features and should not be used.
===Dangan Ronpa===
'''11. How do you emulate Dangan Ronpa?'''
Make sure you're using the latest dev build of [[PPSSPP]] and that Buffered Rendering, Read Framebuffers to Memory and FramebufferCPUConvert are enabled (FramebufferCPUConvert is only necessary on AMD I think, I don't need it on Intel/Nvidia and other Intel/Nvidia users seem to be the same).
===PSP audio===
'''12. PSP emulation has no audio. '''
