Ok so i heard that the latest xbox (original) emulators are actually fairly decent at present. I was up in my loft and got my old xbox games out of storage and wanted to see if i could put them onto my pc and play them via the emulators. However when i put one of the disks in the dvd drive all i got was.....nothing..... The disks span and span and yet nothing would show up. I read up abit on the matter and some places said in order for me to get my games OFF the disks and onto my pc as an ISO file that i need to have BOTH my xbox switched on and connected to my pc at the same time + have custom fireware installed on the xbox in order for me to access a menu were i can copy my game files onto my pc.......................... Is that right? is there SERIOUSLY no easier way for me to get my games off the dvd disks onto my computers hard drive in an ISO format an easier way?

I recently downloaded the latest UOYabause (windows) and now nothing works anymore...…... no matter what I try and boot (cue,ccd,disk image) it just boots upto memory manager I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the older version (which worked) but now that too does the exact same thing Does anyone have any idea what the hells happened here and why its no longer wanting to work? All I did was just update to the latest edition like what ive always done and now its just completely bricked

i have some in CCD and some in CUE and some in disk image no matter what format I have them in mednafen of bios in order for it to work like what the Saturn version does?

ok so I'm trying to emulate ps1 games in retroatch via mednafen but no matter what i do nothing works.. i downloaded the mednafen beetle core i googled the ps1 bios mednafen needs and put that into system told retroatch where the bios is. Tried to boot a game and it just doesn't boot up at all.... Did i miss something? How many files are meant to be with the ps1 emulator? It said i needed the USA sch....i forget the exact number - but i know i got it seriously what am idoing wrong

I cant find an answer for this bit - is there a way to turn scan lines OFF-ON? my mame seems to have them switched on automatically and I want them OFF if at all possible is tyhere like an F1 button I can press to switch them on-off at all?

is nothing meant to happen? i downloaded the file, extracted it into a folder , put the fighters mega mix bin and cue file into the same folder, double clicked cueTOgdiTochd a menu opens up and closes and then nothing.

i just noticed though that my PD2 is in cue/bin format and loads in mednafen. So why is that loading but mega mix only opens in Kronos?

is there a way for me to change the format from bin/cue to CHD/cue?

bin and cue. Basically the same as PD2 which is also bin/cue. I wasn't aware any of the emulators ran any of the games in zip format

an odd question but im curious if anyone has an answer. i installed retroatch, i installed Saturn beetle (mednafen) i installed the beetle bios required. Now here's were it gets confusing.... i select beetle core, open panzer dragoon 2 and it works fine. I try and do the same for fighters mega mix....refused to load...instead opens up with Khronos? anyone got any ideas why it's not opening with what i told it to. also has mednafen got NO options to improve things such as AA or MSAA or anything else? The games look utterly terrible by every other emulators standards that I've used. I know the games DID look that bad originally but even my ps1 emulator has options to try and improve the looks. Don't any of the Saturn emulators have this basic feature?

I've read blue stacks is one of the worst for running games. I've seen it struggle to even play sonic cd.... Most people keep telling me MEnu or LDplayer are the best for games but then others say there full of bloat ware

Ok guys I need some help here Im wanting to play these games on my PC EPIC SEVEN NEPTUNIA AND FRIENDS however these are android/ISO only games....so in order to play them on my PC I need an Android emulator. Ive heard a LOT of bad things about android emulators though such as they are filled with bloat ware and and that it downloads crap without asking u to ur hdd. Ive also read a lot of android emulators are actually rubbish at playing these games aside from MEnu-Player and something called LDPlayer?? Any advice would be good because I REALLY want to play and review these games for my youtube channel

has or does anyone know what configs/video settings to adjust for these games Sega ages virtua fighter 2 and fighting vipers no matter what setings i use the games look a total mess. I've tried forcing the driver as my 970, using opengl, dx9 and 11. Practically everything I can think of yet they just look a mess. i switch it all off and use native settings and even that appears to run badly (the vf2 characters are all black, vf runs slow) and I'm not sure what's the issue

if I can run a game like Mario kart 8 perfectly, gamecube resident evil code veronica x perfectly and various others....yet this Saturn emulator cant run fighting vipers while my am2 emulator can...…….Christ..... just like when I actually owned a Saturn back when it first came out its disappointed me yet again. I literally just wana play 2 games off it and that's it. If mednafen really is the best emulator for this console then someone needs to go back and start again because its awful if its this badly made. Thanks for the help guys but im just gona leave this alone. Its not worth the hassle to just play 2 average games at best. Ill just stick to my other games or focus on emulators which can actually work properly

since when? dolphin uses my gpu to run the games, redream is using my gpu to run games, nulldc and demul seem to be using my gpu to run the games, my n64 games seem to be running off the gpu, cemu while it does take stuff from my cpu its using my gpu to run it Even my psx emulator is using my gpu to run stuff. This is practically the only emulator ive used which has been a nightmare to get to bloody run anything Your HONESTLY telling me there are no settings in this emulator to change things to run off my gpu? I cant do things like add AA or change the resolution to a higher setting? this emulator just isn't worth it if that's the case

it doesn't use my Gpu at all?..... that's perhaps the most stupidest thing I've ever heard all month. does it even run the graphics off the Gpu or is it running off my motherboard? Christ i thought this emulator was meant to be good. It's like I've gone back in time to 1999

I don't think I should have any trouble with 16gb ram and a gtx970 somehow

ok I FINALLY managed to get it to load 1 single game it still wont find fighters megamix however when I loaded fighting vipers it ran like a toaster...graphics looked awful....sound was a mess.... what gives? yabusa runs things better than this...what did I do wrong I try and run fighters megamix manually and it says uncorrupable data sector 8 or something?

not to sound stupid but can u explain what menus u go to so i can access were u r in the image? pretty sure i have all the us/jap and other bios. I have them all opened as loose files but also zipped too. Am i meant to LOAD the bios manually or something?

i tried loading the cue file but again, error.... i have the right bios unless I'm a complete idiot and someone else can link me to one they KNOW works. I'm sure the one i have is right but no matter what i do it just refuses to work. I'm remembering why i never liked my Saturn now ....

no one got any idea at all why this isn't working then? i downloaded the beetle core, made a roms folder, put the cue,bin file in there, put the bios in the system folder, audited the folder to scan for roms (nothing showed up for Saturn but my mega drive roms showed up) tried to load the rom manually (Saturn one) and i just get an error failed to load message. is there a reason why when i scan the folders my Saturn games don't show? I've updated the core and the database so wtf am i doing wrong here? I thought mednafen through retroarch was meant to be easy

im using the bios from my yabusa (however its spelled) emulator and that's got like several different versions. I put them all in and tested the game with each one and nothing worked. I typed in the one below and downloaded it off a certain emu site and put that in and yet still the game refuses to load I go to scan directory - select roms and yet nothing shows up on the side. its seeing them its just not adding them to the side for some reason pretty sure I have this one mpr-17933.bin Saturn US/EU BIOS - Required for US/EU games

This is giving me a headacke as no matter what I do I cant get this damn thing to run I downloaded retroarch, I installed it, went to cores, told it to download Saturn beetle, said it was installed. I opened retroarch, closed retroarch, put the bios in the systems folder, made a ROMS folder and placed my game in there, went to load core, selected beetle, went to load content and selected the rom folder, selected the game file and no matter what I do I just get failed to load. I have the game format as a MDF-MDS file but that refused to load. Zipped those into 1 file and they still refused to load Had a zipped file of the same game but as a CUE file and yet that still refused to load some please....the hell am I doing wrong here?

this is what i was thinking but the guy i got the drive from has gone rather quite.... sigh...really could do without this headache. can anyone confirm if wrapping a hdd in bubble wrap screws it up?

did this, followed a video, did the formatting and labelled drive D but once it said it was done it still wasn't showing up on my computer. All the while the hdd is still humming like nuts
