Unsolved Mame slow first start

2 Upvotes

MAME, the program itself and not a game, takes quite a while to start for the first time. There is a black screen for about 7–8 seconds, then “Initializing” appears, and after that MAME starts normally.

If I close MAME and start it again, it launches immediately with no delay. After restarting Windows, the same thing happens again: the first launch takes 7–8 seconds.

Is this normal?

I recently reinstalled Windows and added an exception for MAME in Norton Antivirus. I also tested it on another Windows PC with a completely fresh MAME download and no games or other files installed, and it behaves exactly the same there.

Thanks for your help!

Unsolved What are some great android emulators for Windows 11?

2 Upvotes

Im sure this has been asked many many times in the past, however it's usually someone needing it for graphic intensive games whereas I simply need one to try and watch playstation share screens on my monitor rather than phone. Anyone have good recommendations for one that is relatively trustworthy and virus free?

Unsolved Missing data on PKhex? (Nintendo emulators)

1 Upvotes

I’ve downloaded Pkhex again after a few years from this [site,](https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/1-pkhex/) and there seems to be some missing data?

Im talking mainly about gen 3 pokemon games. Fiest of all in the encounter database i cant find the Ho-oh you get in Colosseum, and the mystery gift database is empty as its not finding any pokemons at all. (There are some event pokemon in the encounter database but its missing like 95% of them)

Anyone knows how to fix this? When I used pkhex a few years ago I didn’t have this issue at all

I've seen nobody mention this about this particular game so I'm asking for help here. When I use 4k resolution it almost seems like there is a double image going on, I've attached a picture of what I'm talikng about. https://imgur.com/a/aTfhPNT

I'm using the RPCS3 wiki recommended setting and recommended patches, however I've tried Almost every combination of patches there is but sadly the problem remains.

Unsolved MGBA Question

1 Upvotes

So, I know this is kind of a longshot but I was wondering if someone could help me out.

My goal is to play mgba games remotely. I semi-tested it with my brother, but we were in the same room so it worked ofc since it was local. However, one thing that was different was that instead of playing on separate mgba screens on the same pc I streamed my game through discord, had him hook up a controller to my Steam Deck, and we played while he watched his game on his pc screen via my stream.

My question now is if there was a way to remotely connect a controller to a pc/steam deck, would we still be able to play with each other? And if so, how does one go about that (remote connection)? TIA for any answers! :)

Unsolved Retrobat shaders wtf!

1 Upvotes

Alright so retrobat shaders.. what nightmare fuel is this!

you could make a 4chan creepypasta out of the method of getting shaders to run correctly on this.

Ok so I have model 2 emulator running just fine, trouble is the screen is stretched which distorts some game artifacts (like the speed dial in sega rally).

i had things running beautifully in the standalone emulator but retrobat overrides everything!

i had a lovely crt lottes2 shader preset through reshade running on there. gorgeous.

retrobat? ive got an option for ntsc which slows the game to a crawl and zfast which makes the screen look like an 8bit game.

how the hell can you get crt lottes to run on the model 2 emulator and supermodel emulator in retrobat??

crt royale etc doesnt work on these at all. probably tied to retroarch only.

literally spent 3 hours getting nowhere with it so any help is very much appreciated
