DOS76 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 yeah the commandline has to be whatever your downloaded core name is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaceRaster Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I don't use retroarch but the standalone emulator, funny enough when I tried booting a game like normal today it's working fine. I didn't do anything different except turn off my computer and turn it back on today. Will let you let you know if anything pops up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaceRaster Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I rebooted the emulator and I'm running into the menu problem again. I noticed you guys talking about bios, I downloaded them for use with yabuse with unplayable results. How can I use them with mednafen?

Lordmonkus Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Make sure they are named correctly for Mednafen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaceRaster Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Ok I renamed the files for the US and JPN bios, do I just create a file named bios in the mednafen base directory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 These are the 2 files you need in the folder where the mednafen.exe is located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaceRaster Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Ok so I put tthe bios with the exe, I'm still getting the boot up into the menu. I know you said it could be the rom itself so I tried 3 different bin and cues of the same game and I'm still getting the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Do other games work or is this the only one you have tried ? There are a lot of bad Saturn rips out there, ideally you will want to make sure the rip you get is either a ReDump or Dark Water release.

JaceRaster Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I have tried other games but none of the rips I tried mentioned if they were redump or dark water. I'll try one of those and tell you the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 All I can tell you is that if something isn't working it's 99% chance it's either the bios or disk rip is incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you said you don't use Retroarch, does that mean you do not have it on your computer at all? I was against it for a while as I found it to be a pain in the butt but I came around to it. If you already have those two BIOS files you just place them in the Retroarch system folder and download the core, that should be it. After trying both I found Retroarch easier, though I am not trying to talk you out of Mednafen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how for whatever system you emulate with it that it automatically has the buttons mapped/configured with the XBOX/PS controllers (if you have one).

JaceRaster Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I downloaded retroarch, the core, and moved the bios and it works great! I'll take your advice and try to learn about it. Also I always use ds4 windows so I never knew that it supported ps4 controls natively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also use DS4 and have found it to be of great help along with Controller Companion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DInosaur Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I had this issue too. If you have a controller plugged in when you drag the game file to the mednafen executable file, it will open the menu for system settings for some reason. I unplugged my controller (ps4, I wasn't using DS4 windows at the moment I did this) and then when I booted up the game it worked. It might not solve the issue, but I hope it worked for me.
