|Original. CD-ROM interface based on [https://web.archive.org/web/20190327015916/http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-Bay/9975/PC2E/english.html PC2E].

Mednafen only has a command line interface, so its interface might be hard to use to new users. The best cores in Mednafen are those that are original - which are the Sony PlayStation, NEC PC Engine, PC-FX, Sega Saturn and Nintendo Virtual Boy cores. The NEC PC Engine core is one of the best emulators for that system, with a Fast and Accurate version. The PlayStation core is native resolution only and features a high degree of accuracy and compatibility.<ref>[http://forum.fobby.net/index.php?t=msg&th=1114 Mednafen PSX bugs reports]</ref> . The Nintendo Virtual Boy core is one of the best for the system.

[[RetroArch]] uses the Mednafen's Sony PlayStation, NEC PC Engine(Fast, not Accurate, version), SNK Neo Geo Pocket/Color, Nintendo Virtual Boy, Sega Saturn and Bandai WonderSwan/Color emulators are all available as [[libretro]] cores of Mednafenunder the name "Beetle", so it might make more sense to use that [[RetroArch]] instead.

Officially Mednafen has only a command-line interface, that is pretty nevertheless easy to get up configure and runningrun for users familiar with it. You Everyone else can use a [[Frontends#Mednafen|third-party frontend like medgui]] for GUI. However, As with any type of interface a good text editor like [http://www.notepad-plus-plus.org/ Notepad++] is all you need if you need can be used to change settings.

Most cores do not require any BIOS except for the Sony PlayStation, NEC PC Engine CD, PC-FX, and Sega Saturn cores. [[Emulator_Files#Multi-System|BIOS files]] need to be placed into a folder called "firmware" in your Mednafen directory. Mednafen is very picky about which BIOS to use, but all of these come with the [[Emulator_Files#Multi-System|Mednafen BIOS pack]] and are correctly named. The ones that you might need are:

Some cores have a wrong width resolution, doubt if this is a bug and even less a problem, but if you want some pixel perfect (to see better horizontal scrolling for example) here * md.correct_aspect 0* nes.correct_aspect 0* pce_fast.correct_aspect 0* snes.correct_aspect 0* snes_faust.correct_aspect 0* ss.correct_aspect 0 Here is also a little list of the cores with without an correct_aspect setting but its width is still wrong, so changing it's xscale values which would will give pixel perfect.Also some of the These cores (except PC-FX) also have a boolean setting called h_overscan which if it's enabled (1) some overscan (also called which is most known as black bars) on the both sides will appear, but width size is still inaccurate.

* PCE / PCE_Fast / PC-FX: 0.888888888888888
