Common Questions: Improved consistency
==Common Questions==
===New systems emulated===
'''Q: Is there an emulator for the 3DS, VITA, PS3, Xbox360, Wii U, PS4, Xbox oneOne?'''
No.
===Specs===
'''Q: Can I run [insert emulator here]?'''
See: [http://emulation-general.wikia.com/wiki/Computer_specs Computer specs]
===Blurry PS2 ===
'''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===
'''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. Note that recent SVN builds of [[PCSX-R]] DO allow loading of ECM files, however it's recommended to unpack them anyway.
===Keybinds in lilypad===
'''Q: I use PCSX-R with LilyPad, but the esc key and various others don't work!'''
A: In the keyboard Input API (radio buttons in the top left of the LilyPad options), choose raw input.
===Archives===
'''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===
'''Q: How do I connect my PS3 controller to my computer?'''
A: Use [[XInput Wrapper SCP]].
===Save states===
'''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===
'''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.
===Multi track games===
'''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.
