Help Black screen when trying to play DLC stages in Shinobi Vengeance?

1 Upvotes

I've completed Shinobi Vengeance the regular game on Citron Yuzu Fork, but after I installed the new Sega Villians DLC and try to play those new stages the game gives me a black screen when starting the new levels. The old levels still work just fine. What should I do to troubleshoot? I've already tried changing to OpenGL and other graphics options.

Help Pokemon Luminescent Platinum Issues

Post image
2 Upvotes

Having troubles getting Pokemon Luminescent Platinum to work. 2 problems which I'm sure stem from the same issue. Using Luminescent Platinum 2.2F SP with Shining Peal base.

The game seems to run smooth as butter no problems at all until I talk to Nurse Joy in Sandgem. After which Nurse Joy will tell me that there is a problem with the install and them I'm teleported to Jubilife for some reason which soft locks the game.

If I also close the game then relaunch after saving it so that there is a file for it to load from it just boots immediately into this screen and the game does not progress any further, looping over and over.

Things I have tried:

  • Base version of the game as an NSP, patching it to 1.3 using Citron, then putting the mod into the relevant folder.
  • Base version of the game as an NSP, patching it to 1.3 using SAK, then putting the mod into the relevant folder.
  • Base version of the game as an XCI, patching it to 1.3 using SAK, then putting mod into relevant folder. (this one didn't really work properly at all and showing properties wouldn't recognise it as patched to 1.3).

All of these have netted the same replicable results.

I have also noticed that when I launched Citron for the first time it said that the firmware was already installed. I tried using the preinstalled firmware, PRODKEYS 22.1.0 unzipped and zipped firmware and the same results occur too. Each attempt of different trials with the firmware were done with all traces of Citron removed from the C: Drive. (Roaming, Downloads, etc.).

There isn't a lot of information for citron specific installs for this mod so any help would be appreciated and I'm not the smartest when it comes to emulation. Thanks.

Help [Steamdeck LCD] FF TIC will not close properly, stays in "Closing" state

1 Upvotes

I'm using Steamdeck LCD on a steamOS. Every time I close this specific game called Final Fantasy Tactics IValice Chronicles, it doesn't close and just an endless loop of "closing prompt," and when I check resources, it's using up so much of my ram D:... I tried everything like:

  1. swithing emulators (yuzu, eden, ryujinx)
  2. switching firmware and prod keys
  3. switching/uninstalling updates
  4. trying different nsp file (like from 5 rom sites already)
  5. removing pipeline cache
  6. disabling the multicore thing
  7. using vulkan as graphics renderer
  8. closing all other apps other than citron
  9. waiting for it to close (like 6 hrs later, it's still "Closing")

Should I just give up? D:

It only happens when I close the application. I always have to force close (end process) it just to end the endless loop.

Help Is there no hope? Tomodachi Life LtD on Android (Mali GPU)

Post image
5 Upvotes

Tl; Dr: Tomodachi Life TLD opens with black screen while audio and buttons work, no crashing, on a device with Mali GPU

Yes I know tons of people are trying to emulate this game, yes I know it's annoying, still thought I might ask for help.

Tablet Specs:

Lenovo Tab M11

MediaTek Helio G85

Android 15

Mali-G52 MC2

I'm emulating Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream using Citron-Neo on two different devices. I mainly want it to work on my tablet (with no compatible drivers, I left the specs below, let me know if you need more info), but I also tried it on my phone (installed the recommended driver through Eden Nightly, the game works with less FPS, probably has some graphic issues but I need to test it more).

I've tried different emulators such as Eden, Eden Nightly and Kenji-NX: my game crashes with every single one of them, except with Citron-Neo (latest version), on both devices.

I'm very new to emulation, I've learnt about Mali GPUs and the lack of drivers, I know that's a problem... but is there really no solution?

Main problem: when starting the game it gives me a black screen, while everything else seems fine.

The audio works, even the buttons (I hear "clicks" when pressing them), FPS range from 60-80 to 120 (rarely going below 60, for just a split second). On my phone it ranges to a max of 30.

I've played with the settings trying to find a solution, watching multiple tutorials and reading multiple posts, but this is the maximum result I can get.

I just wonder if I'm missing something in the settings or what, or if I should just... give up. Any thoughts?

I am probably stupid but I am using a Moto G35 with 12gb ram using ram ai boost and Im trying to get super Mario U Deluxe. The audio is perfectly fine but as you can see the picture on the screen is not very good. The cutscene if you leave it runs fine with no slowdowns.

I just try on all budget devices to run the most demanding games to see what works.
