PC/emu/game compatibility. post here

[PsyMan]

Gladiac0190 is right. To be more precise, the header information is usually used by the console/emulator in order to identify the region of the game and if the game is designed to be used with this console/emulator (among other things). If the header information is incorrect the game will probably NOT boot. Some emulators use this information in order to apply patches/fixes for specific games.

The ID's are actually longer than 4 characters, but for the sake of argument, 4 characters are all that is needed to convey a meaningful code. Basically:

1) The first character is the System ID, and more often than not this is 'G' - for GameCube :)
2) The first of two characters for the serial numbers of the game itself, say Z for Zelda for example.
3) The second of two characters that make up the Game's serial, say L for Zelda.
4) The country code, i.e. E = USA | P = Europe | J = Japan.

FYI the fully noted serial ID would be something like: DOL-GZLE-USA or something similar.

Hope that helps :)

[Vegetable]

that is very dumb question

First he says this, insulting someone else.
THEN he has the nerve to ask something even dumber.


but where i need game ID???and what it is?

All that I feel I can say about this is:
LOL

But please anyone, correct me if I made a mistake, and if I did, I am sorry.

[Kevo]

I dont think he was trying to insult anyone. Probably just saying his own question may be considered a dumb one. Thats what I think he was trying to say.

[zaba_3]

sorry that question vegetable . dont cry too much!!

[Kevo]

lmao @ vegetable, good one zaba_3 :P

[DArk_one]

Im Ripping my Smash bros melee to my pc now gonna try it

[Vegetable]

Alright alright, I said I was sorry(ish) but this guy needs to learn to speak english properly.

[Kevo]

Its already man np, still a cruel joke though >:(

[zaba_3]

im not good english because im from finland and im 12 year old!

[DArk_one]

I'm not so good in english im just 13 Years old
I can speak good english but to type it its not easy for me.
So Sorry for that....

BTW this emu can be good if the gonna make a ATI & Nvidia plugins
NGC have aATI Chip set so if the gonna make good ati plugin it will work great on ati carts ;0

[Trotterwatch]

NGC have aATI Chip set

True but ATI had nothing to do with the development AFAIK ART X made the 'flipper' chip, ATI purchased the company after the fact.

I think there is other languages in the PAL one, switch between them

An admin should make a thread errr just a page with all the compatibilities we have gathered... or something... keep this more organized

Melee - menus work like a blessing... only starts when language is set to german, and after it starts a battle it freezes after a few moments

Super Mario Sunshine - Menus are alright, somethings not clearly displayed... Ingame you can move and it doesn't freeze, but graphics are pretty bad, you can't see where you're really going

Animal crossing - Video zipps at 700 minuim frames a second.. nintendo logo for .003 of a second... then the video is gone but the frames rate at the bottom still go... hmmmmmm

Yes, but who has the even more rare Cube magazine demo disc 1? (Australian) :P

[Stalkid64]

I'm pretty sure I have all the Cube magazine discs around here somewhere, though A) I don't know if the Australian ones differ at all and B) doubt they'd rip anyway what with Datel's strange unnatural format.

Hi, I'm completely new to this so please be easy on me! I've looked over the compatability thread and the only person I've seen who has tried Metroid Prime is trying it on a GeForce2. Has anyone else tried this one yet? I can't do it myself because I don't own the game.....I will be getting a laptop soon (taking it practically everywhere!) so I'm looking into emulator options for the systems I own. If Metroid Prime can be coerced into working even partway I might buy the game....

I'm still setting my account up so I don't have a signiture yet, don't know if my pic is getting through either.

Thanks for your patience.

Final Fantasy CC: Doesn't boot
Naruto 2: boots, goes through the opening movie, then dies when loading the menu
Bust a Move 3000: same as everyone else, works perfectly
Super Monkey Ball: Does some weird stuff at a really high fps, premenu has sound, wont go to the main menu however

Edit, after messing around with Super Monkey Ball some more, I got it to go to the main menus, but its running at 340fps and does weird stuff. I also got into the options menu and was able to change settings

I was able to press start game in the main menu and select a game type, a difficulty level, the number of players, then it dies when selecting the character i want to use. has sound in the menus the entire time tho...

Bored, dont wanna post my specs, but i got a GF2 for a vid card. Naruto 2 runs, but kinda greys out in the middle of games. All you need to do is shrink the GCM file. It runs then. heres some screenies:

[kage]

Hmm, thats strange. Are there any other games that work ONLY when shrunk? I've been staying away from shrinking my games so I wouldn't run into compatibility issues, and now I hear this...??

:ninja:

I just tested Resident Evil 3, and it works fine (aside from slow with graphical glitches :) )

Resident Evil GLEE (Interpretor mode only for in-game) Dynarec will only show the intro video.

[SSChris]

I don't know if there are any other, i dont think so. And super monkey ball crashes after the Sega screen.

I don't know if there are any other, i dont think so. And super monkey ball crashes after the Sega screen.

ive gotten in game with it before, but ti does weird stuff and then it froze.

[Vegetable]

Super monkeyball, goes to sega logo at 400 fps, crashes when av comes up.
Menus go from 2 to 80 fps, strange repeated animation though. In game is black and white, impossible not to fall out, 2 to 25 fps. Party games do not play, use interpreter in video mode to play. You can download a short crap video in my post in the shots thread.
By the way, Loki, do you think you could add this to your gcm compat program?

when i try to run nintendo puzzle collection the screens stays white and sometimes flashes black, it doesn't even show the nintendo logo

Yeah, you need to run it in wireframe, and then move the little square thing that comes up, and press the x key.

[dingdong]

can anyone help me with my problem??

how come my bust-a-move is so slow, running at 15-25 fps?

[Vegetable]

WHAT THE BLOODY HELL!? God damnit make your own topic! This is for compatibility posts only, not help!! Like kage said, I get a little excited when posts in these topics are made, and then it's a complete let down, and waste of space for it to be in here.

[BlackJaguar]

Vegetable calm down! Your in no position to talk to members like that. Let the moderators and admistators decide if the post belongs here or not. Even though you are right that the person went off topic, but if you want to correct him, then just correct the person in a calm fashion. You have to remember there are people from different age groups who visit this forum and I don't think you should express such language towards a member in the fashion that you did. If I remember correctly I believe it was you who faked those animal crossing screenshots a while ago. So I dont think it's fair to treat other people the way that you didn't want to be treated. Well this is my two cents.

P.S. If this is off topic moderators or if i said something that I shouldn't have then feel free to delete it.

wait a minute...I kept hitting "OK" throught a TON of these errors and for a brief second it looked like the "NOW LOADING" screen came up with the logo in the bottom right corner.

I was able to get a screen shot of it.

If you're serious, ALL the games may need retesting...I doubt anyone else has been willing (or thought that it might help) to keep pressing ok a "TON" of times.

:ninja:

I'm serious...in fact as I kept hitting "ok" the screen would go to a garbled green and sometimes the "Loading" logo would come back up but the moving circles would be in a different position, as if it were moving...I just couldn't see it. I thought if I did it enough maybe the title screen would come up, but eventually it just stopped all together.

Also, I tried Simpsons Road Rage and got it to partially work. Just turn off the Framebuffer and use Interpreter. I got the first credits screen with the Simpsons logo, the "EA" logo and "Fox Interactive" logo. After that the screen is blank, but the fps still goes as does video, but I can't see anything. Then it eventually stops. I do not get any error messages. I have screen shots I can post in the screens section I guess.

[cokeman118]

I got Super Monkey Ball 1 to work partially. I got to the game select screen and then for some reason it reset back to the title. I even got music on it. The display was kind of flickering but I think it's because of my video card...need to get a new one.

[sasuke_934]

well for that one i read this somewhere that u press up twice at the white screen and press enter and it should work.

I've tried Tales Of Symphonia (J) (Disc 1) on Dolphin. Its run perfectly until you go to the title screen. If you don't press any button you can see all the intro sequence video (no sound, snif!) and all the logos screen, as well you can select play with or without memory card.

[ThaBoss]

yes, for me too please, i have a geforce 4 mx 440

[jareg]

If your using Windows XP just go to My Computer-Propertis-Hardware-Device Manager and then from the list pick Display Adapters and then Right Click and push Update Driver and the rest it will too itself!

It will help a lot :) It helped me get dolphin faster :bounce:


If you cant too this way then try manually in www.nvidia.com but i suggest you to like i say!

[ThaBoss]

Well, i updated and i must say i see some improvment, but only a little for me.
I still have the black-white mainscreen in super smash bros melee, while i see other people in the screenshotsection have it fully colored...

But still, it helped a bit :D thanks 4 the info.

[romsman]

i did everything you said but there isn't such a thing as update drivers with me

[Vegetable]

Go to Nvidia.com and click download drivers. Then download it then double click setup.exe. But please talk about this somewhere else because this is a compatibility thread.

Um, I don't think he said he didn't buy the game.

aww common, you know that everyone here doesnt rip the games they have on their hdd's. they just dont say where they got them from.

[Vegetable]

But you can't just go and make assumptions like that, I could say that YOU didn't buy the game yourself! Dammit, this is going off-topic again.

[willdeharp]

One of the rare occasions where vegetable is not being judgemental, makes a refreshing change.

FF:CC is not talked about as much on the emu scene as it amoungst gamecube players in real life i find, apparently not many people want to play it on the PC, compared with the people who play it on the GC

Heh, it took me about 30 mins to figure out what to do to get it working. I ran it in dynarec, it didnt go past a blue nintendo logo. Then i did interperate, it went to the beginning of the movie, i decided the movie had a problem, so i wanted to get rid of it. I had no clue how to do that until i remembered GC Tool 1.20, and then i did the MovBA thingy. I think this is how people got Naruto 2 to run as well :bounce: :bounce:

I just tested "Tales of Symphonia" ((the japanese version) ID: GTOJ)

The Intro works really good. No glitches at all \o/.
The Speed of the video is quite good..really close to full speed imo.

But sadly it hangs right after the Intro's end:(

[MAD_BOY]

i just tested WarioWare, inc. Mega Party Games -- GZWE
intro: ~6fps, with some flickering thingys
menu: --press start part: ~4fps
--mode select: 80-90fps
ingame: jumping bewteen the 30 and 70fps
minigames just give a black screen, or black and white (no textures can't be seen) the elevator part is the only thing you can see correctly

conclusion: game would be playable if the minigames worked

oh yeah, somehow i finished the intro (or level1, whatever you wanna call it)

[Dr.Calypso]

What I tried to say is, that you should change your Emulation setting to 'Interpreter' not the Graphic setting...it can stay set to 'Compile lists an decode vertex lists'.
The setting I'm talking about can be found in the menu next to the 'File' Button...
it's called 'Emulation', when you click on it. A drop down menu will pop up, at the bottom of it you can choose between 'Interpreter' and 'Dynarec', select Interpreter here... now it should work.

Maybe I missunderstood your problem, but I hope I've been able to help you out.

And wait a little longer after the nintendo logo it will take a half minute or something and then it will go to the menu

you are right on it, the Dolphin dynarec got only a little optimization but still buggy/slow and yes, if you want to play all games at full speed, you will need something way more powerfull than what his on the market right now.

In Wind Waker and SSBM you should check the box Overlay some statistics in the GFX Plugin advanced options.You should get some clearer gfx in Wind W
And if you mean why it crashes in the Telescope screen then its a emulator bug (Just a teaser you know)
And SSMB crashes alot

[Kiantsu]

I mean graphics

[jareg]

I mean graphics

What gfx card to you have
If you wanna see colors and better Gfx you need a gfx card that supports atleast Pixel Shader 2.0

[jareg]

I mean why do I see correctly ssbm and why i don't do it with WW

(nVidia GeForce4 MX 440 128MB)

I have the same Gfx card well WW uses lots of Pixel Shaders thats why the Water is grey and the Sky Black
SSBM looks pritty nice with are cards too because the came doesnt use that much pixel shadering

And Geforce 4 Mx Doesnt support Pixel Shders at all
You should whats this Shots thread from the beginning there are some much beatiful WW shots of the game and a video is in this Forum too that Knuckles did

[Knuckles]

Ig you are too lazy (as most new members here :P) here's the link for u :

http://www.emutalk.net/showpost.php?p=197771&postcount=8

And SSBM only uses Pixel Shader on the intro video, the menu and most 2D stuff colors, it also generate the shadow under the player but inversed (shadow is transparent and rest is black). Also, no need for a Pixel Shader 2.0 card to get some effect, a PS1.1 card can do some of the effects, of course, a PS2.0 is better. I suggest you (since you have a GF4MX) to get at least a GeforceFX 5200 if you want to get the Pixel Shader 2 (DX9 card) at a low price.

[Kiantsu]

how much it costs? the problem is that is MY FATHER's PC... :bye3: he must not want to buy that graphic card :cry: :cry: :cry:

Hehe, now we reached a hard-to-handle point in emulation. What should be done by CPU and what can be done by GPU... So... Everything that _CAN_ be done by GPU (3D-rendering, Texture-drawing, DDraw,...) will be done by GPU. And now we reach the problem... Emulation means, converting something to something different: The CPU manages everything, that has to be managed to emulate a system and stocks out everything to GPU, that also can be done by GPU. It could also be done by CPU, but... you know :)
Now we are at the point why gc-emulation is that slow... The CPU has to emulate too much stuff so the GPU is not the bottleneck but the CPU... the CPU gives the commands to the GPU, but is too slow to make in in realtime... result is low framerate and 100%CPU-usage. The GPU is not at 100% normally (hmmm, depends on the Grafics-Card you have, a GForce3 or 4 will also get to it's limits on most games)

Phew, hope I didn' talk bullshit, if so, tell me how it works...

It is the logical step to start using the GPU power otherwise GC emulation probably would not be possible for years yet. I wish the MAME dev team would take it on board for the newer 3D games.

So my P4 3.0HT clocked to 3.6gig will be bottlenecking before my Geforce FX6800Ultra.

Smash Brothers Melee - Run on Dynarec / Interpreter

As soon as you get in change the language to Japanese, making the game function.

1 player :

Classic - Functional, to a extent. Expect crashes from time to time.
Adventure - Functional, amasing, and weird graphic effects. Crashes are common.
Event - Works, to a extent.
Stadium - All moves function, weird graphic glitches.
Training - Functional, fun, weird graphic glitches.

Multiplayer :

Melee - Works, some levels do not. If it freezes, restart and change levels.
Tournament Melee - Works to my knowledge, crashes commonly.
Special Melee - I recommend staying clear of this mode, it causes crashes more then normal.

Trophies :

How did you manage to too that
It crashes at the logo for me after i choose yes in the memorycard screen :plain:

So tell us i hope youre not faking or anything

[einstein123]

The only thing u need to do is use the GC-tool
pick the option wipe garbage bytes and done!!!!

Because there are many bytes that are useless but them makes dolphin "confused" that tool wipe them...

But don't use the GCM srinker... it "destroys" the gcms.

NOTE: Wipe garbage files don't make the GCM shorter. It only Substitute the garbage bytes with nothing. Like: Before: 010101010101010 After: 00000000000

i know that already, but i was wondering if it could partially run buffy? or if it doesn't what goes wrong with it?
has anyone tried it?

[zaba_3]

i think no and you can use searcing(above of page selection)

No, I don't think so. Try it yourself, post pictures if it does. :)

Edit : Capcom VS SNK 2, boots, but the game's graphics are messed up, they flash. The game will not pass the title screen, I'd get screenshots but it's too messed up. >.<

Edit 2 : Errr.. Don't know if this one was done yet. Spiderman 2, does NOT boot in the Teaser. :P

[Lik-Lik 123]

If you you use hte "overly some statistics option you can see half of the intro movie!

[Lemming4Life]

ive tested some games and i think three of them are kinda unpopular as they are not listed up here :whistling

i make it short as the all give me a blackscreen(plus some errors) :yucky:
GLADIUS PAL - black
PHANTASY STAR ONLINE EPISODE III : CARD REVOLUTION NTSC - black
SKIES OF ARCADIA LEGENDS PAL - black

ive tested them in both interpreter and compiler modes without any result.

For Four Swords Adventure, the core loads, but the FPS and Video stay at zero.
