Using Mednafen
==Using Mednafen==
Its pretty easy to get up and running. You can use a frontend like medgui. However, a good text editor like [http://www.notepad-plus-plus.org/ Notepad++ ] is all you need if you need to change settings.===Bios===
To get setup all you need is to make sure you have the correct Most systems do not require any bios. Mednafen is picky it wants scph5501.bin for USA games, scph5502.bin except for Europe, PS1 and scph5500.bin for Japan. If you have the correct files just create PC-FX that need to be placed into a folder called "firmware" in your mednafen folder and copy them into itdirectory. Mednafen is very picky about which BIOS to use. At The ones that point you just might need to drag and drop your rom or [[cuesheet]] onto the the .exe to play.are:
To setup your controller either use a frontend or open a text editor and change "psx.input.port1 gamepad" to "psx.input.port1 dualshock" if you want to make use of analog.For PS1
Then once your in game press alt+shift+1 and it will guide you through setting up your controller<ul><li class="de2">scph5500.bin  Required for Japan-region games.</li><li class="de2">scph5501.bin  Required for North America/US-region games.</li><li class="de2">scph5502.bin  Required for Europe-region games.</li></ul>
At For PC-FX*pcfx.rom===CUE===For most systems Mednafen only needs the rom file but to load PS1 games Mednafen requires CUE sheets to know where the music data is. Ensure that point everything else the CUE sheet is personal preference how properly set up in order for the game to run. See the [[Cue sheet (.cue)]] for more.===Loading a game===In mednafen to load a game, simply drag and drop your rom or cue file onto the mednafen.exe or if you want prefer you can use the command line. Mednafen requires no special commands such as the desired system. For example in windows the command would look like C:/Emulators/Mednafen/mednafen.exe C:/Roms/Nintendo/battletoads.nes ===Dual Analog Controllers with PS1===To use analog sticks and the rumble feature of Dualshock controllers open the mednafen-09x.cfg file search for "psx.input.port1" and change gamepad to dualshock. Do this for port2 if you wish to play multiplayer games with the features of dualshock controllers.===Configuring Controls===Once in game to configure your controller at any time press press alt+shift+1 and it will guide you through the setup. Press alt+shift+2 and so on for each additional controller for multiplayer. ===Graphical Enhancements=======Sprite Limit====On older systesms due to look and hardware limitations only so many sprites could be on screen at the same time. Most systems got around this limitation but alternating which sprites were onscreen each refresh causing the sprite to arpear to flicker. Mednafens default settings are true to the original limitations but in the cfg file this limitation can be removed. Here is the list of options from the cfg file to change from 0 to one if you don't wish to have the limit.*nes.no8lim*pce.nospritelimit*pce_fast.nospritelimit*pcfx.nospritelimit Expanded documentation can be found here http://mednafen.sourceforge.net/documentation/09x/mednafen.html[[Category:Game Boy emulators]][[Category:Game Boy Advance emulators]][[Category:Nintendo Entertainment System emulators]][[Category:TurboGrafx-16 emulators]][[Category:Multi-emulators]][[Category:OS X emulation software]][[Category:Linux emulation software]][[Category:Emulators]]
