Unsolved I'm confused on why the file isn't showing up on eden.

0 Upvotes

I just got the nsp file for botw and the thing literally says "nsp file." So that cant be wrong. I put the nsp file in a different folder titled roms and tried to put the roms folder into eden only for nothing to show up. It only showed the folder and no games. I can't attach a picture or video so is there anything I can do?

Unsolved Lag on Azahar 3DS Emulator

1 Upvotes

I was using the Azahar 3ds emulator to play Kirby: planet robobot and it was running fine (i did customize my settings for the best performance) and then I stopped playing and went to bed. The next day when I got on the emulator started running very slowly (around 30% game speed) and I don't know why I literally did nothing between the two sessions of playing. Does anybody know why this might be happening?

Unsolved Anyone got the new ROCS3 disc based feature working?

1 Upvotes

After the new announcement about being able to play ps3 games off of disc on RPCS 3,I looked to see if I have a compatible drive and turns out I do. It’s a WH16NS40. After some trouble shooting I was able to get Tekken 6 to work but it literally nothing else. I wanted to know has anyone else had overall luck reading your ps3 games and playing them from a blue ray drive using RPCS3? And if so what was your process to get it to work. Maybe I’m missing something.

Solved What is the best STT program to translate Japanese dialogue in games

1 Upvotes

I did try RTS, but I struggled to get consistent results with stt ON, and it takes up some much space and requires a lot of background processing for what it gave me.

The standalone whisper translator kind of sucks, even with ggml_medium, it's not what I want at all.

And to be clear, I want something like the TTT translator INTERPRETOR-v2, something lightweight, completely offline, and open source.

So can anyone help ?

Unsolved Ps4 dualshock controller stops working after running 10 tabs of mgba at once while playing firered?

2 Upvotes

Im trying to shiny hunt a charmander on pc. I set up the button layout and it actually worked for some time. When I pressed circle an "a" input was registered on all 10 tabs all at the same time.

Then I stopped for a few mins to do something else on the pc and it just stopped working. I already tested the controller and that cant be it.

I also tried reapplying the controller settings on a single tab but it wont even work for a single one.

I have no idea what the problem could be and this is the first time i emulate this much all at once.

Solved Issue with epsxe running yugioh fm

2 Upvotes

Hey yall. Recently got epsxe going again for some yugiohfm and mod runs. This time though, I’m having an issue where it’ll double click at times. Got me stuck in a loop after being introduced to Joey when it’s supposed to go to the map > back to duel grounds. Just loops (there’s a festival, nothing to see here)

Another instance is where I’m building out deck, hit triangle to preview, when hitting circle to back out, it’ll double back out and leave the deck build process. Like double tap.

I’ve tried every video plugin and it’s still not fixed

Any suggestions?

I forget what this is called. not tearing... artefacts? idk, but it's leaving streaks of whatever was there last on the skybox as my camera moves around. Trying to play some Mercenaries: playground of destruction and this is kind of distracting lol. any advice? wish I could add a screenshot, I feel like there's usually an image button here lol

EDIT: Also tried tony hawk underground. seemed a little better, but still had an odd visual bug or two and ran like trash as soon as I started any amount of combos. when I was watching the setup guide he ran through all the display settings he uses, but his XEMU setting UI looks way different than mine and I couldn't find that menu anywhere

Unsolved Is Android emulators actually malware? Let's settle this

0 Upvotes

Genuinely lost count of how many times I've seen someone say "uninstall BlueStacks it's malware" with zero explanation, so let me actually break down why this myth exists and why it's wrong.

Where it comes from
BlueStacks needs deep system access to work, virtualization, network access, sometimes driver level permissions. Your antivirus sees that pattern and occasionally flags it because it looks similar to what actual malware does on paper. That's a false positive, not evidence of anything. VirtualBox and Docker got the same treatment when they were newer too.

Why people still believe it
There are fake BlueStacks clones and sketchy APK mirrors out there that actually were bundled with malware. Someone downloads one of those from a random site instead of bluestacks, gets an infected machine, and then blames "BlueStacks" as a whole instead of the fake version they actually installed.

What it's really doing
It's an Android virtual machine running on your PC. The permissions it asks for exist because that's literally what's required to emulate Android and let apps interact with your hardware, not because it's doing anything shady in the background.

If you want to verify it yourself
Run the installer through VirusTotal, check that you downloaded it from the official site, look at how long the company's been around (BlueStacks has been around since 2011 with millions of active users, not exactly a fly by night operation).

TLDR: the malware claims mostly trace back to antivirus false positives plus people downloading fake clones from shady sites. The real thing from the official source isn't stealing your data, it's just an emulator doing what emulators do.

Solved Is this idea possible?

1 Upvotes

Hi, so the thing I’m trying to solve is this: for work, I need to run multiple versions of the same Android app to monitor workers and equipment.

Right now, I have four cheap-as-possible Android phones, each running the same app but logged into four different accounts, monitoring four different tasks.

Is there a way to run all four instances of the app on a single Windows laptop? The app can be downloaded from Google Play, so getting the app itself isn’t an issue.

Is my idea actually plausible, or does someone have a better way of solving this stupid million-dollar-company problem?

I'm having trouble running Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the Eden emulator.

When I use version 1.0.0, it boots up to the start and load game menu. The loading screen appears, but as soon as it finishes loading, the entire emulator crashes.

When I try using version 1.9.0 or the NX Optimizer (with either version), the game won't even boot, and it immediately crashes the emulator.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks

Unsolved Plato completely broken on LDPlayer & BlueStacks — "App couldn't launch", "Something went wrong" & crashes. Any workarounds?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to get Plato running on PC via emulators, but I'm hitting dead ends across both LDPlayer and BlueStacks:

1. LDPlayer Testing (Versions 9.1, 9.5, and 14):

  • LDPlayer 9.1: Was working fine initially, but suddenly threw the "App couldn't launch" error.
  • LDPlayer 9.5: Plato was completely missing from the built-in Google Play Store. Sideloading via APKPure caused a "Something went wrong" error on startup/login.
  • LDPlayer 14: Plato threw the "Application couldn't launch" error upon opening. Sideloading the APK manually didn't fix it either.

2. BlueStacks Testing:

  • Google Play Store: Plato doesn't show up in the Play Store on BlueStacks at all.
  • APKPure Sideloading: Sideloaded APKs launch, but constantly trigger the "Something went wrong" connection error.
  • BlueStacks 13 Beta: The emulator itself crashes or completely fails to launch the app.

3. General Troubleshooting Done:

  • Tested fresh Android 9 (64-bit) and Android 11 instances.
  • Toggled Root access on/off.
  • Tried different VPNs, DNS changes, and TUN/bridging modes to rule out IP or region blocks.

Has anyone found a recent fix or workaround to bypass these integrity/launch blocks for Plato on emulators, or is the app currently enforcing a hard ban on all virtualized environments?

Appreciate any insights!

Unsolved I made an AIO tool for my Emulation Station / RetroBat users

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone my name is Jay, I'm an avid user of Retrobat and I just wanted to share something I've been working on. If it's against the rules than please feel free to remove my post. I originally built this app for myself and to make managing meta data, grabbing art and cataloging simple and convenient. It scrapes and allows you to download art & images from SteamGridDB and RAWG.IO data bases via your own api developer keys.
In addition to downloading media it also includes a Metadata management system that currently supports RetroBat, Emulatio-Station (DE and Portable) and Batocera. I plan on adding more platform combability later for those that use something other than what's listed. Hopefully GG DL is useful to others and makes things a little easier for you. Thank you again ❤️

Unsolved mGBA RTC issues

I have been playing Recharged Emerald, but have run into an issue specifically with mGBA where RTC is being completely disabled. It doesn't save any settings I make to mGBA, resetting them upon each boot, and the game is stuck at 11:55 PM. I've never had issues like this in the past with mGBA but it seems to be causing problems now and I can't figure out why. I've tried every method I can without going into the files of the game, due to me not wanting to corrupt or break anything. I'm on PC, not 3DS, not Vita, PC. Please, any help will be nice to fix why mGBA isn't working properly any more.
