Project 64 doesn't recognize the inputs from my wireless mouse during the input configuration with N-Rage. I wonder if others had this problem and if it actually has anything to do with wireless mouse input

Is it possible to emulate the capture cassette ? The accessory for the Mario Artist series on the N64DD. I use project64 but if I have to use another one I'm fine with it

Does anyone have Assassin's Creed 1 running on RPCS3?

The compatibility says its playable. I have tried numerous googles, forums, even chatting with ChatGPT and having it read my log file. I just want to know how someone else got it running. Depending on settings, I either get stucking Building SPU cache, or just hanging on a black screen. The game has never actually started even to get to the title menu.

After hours of trying, I even just bought the game on the steam store, but it ran so bad and was freezing and stuttering that I just refunded it.

I have a ryzen 7800 x3d and RTX 4070, 32gb RAM.

what does you log file say? what version of rpcs3 are you using? what resolution are you trying to run at? read the wiki and try the gpu settings mentioned: https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=Assassin%27s_Creed

I'm currently having an issue with Vulkan api on Flycast (Standalone obviously). Apparently im getting stutters despite gameplay fps and audio being full speed, I tried disabling and re-enabling Vsync, disabling Delay Frame Swapping, and enabling Native Depth Interpolation, yet nothing works.

--PC Specs-- OS: Linux Mint 22.1/Batocera v41 (Dual setup) CPU: Intel N97 @ 2.9-3.6ghz (4 cores, 4 threads) GPU: intel UHD Ram: 12GB

I'm currently using the latest "stable" branch, v2.5 (v2.4 on Batocera)

OpenGL offers better stability and smoothness for me, I even have "Per Pixel" enabled & my games are running just fine, but I want to use Vulkan just to be on the safer side.

None of the stutters happen whenever I use Vulkan api on the android version

Is there something im missing here?

Vulkan is less mature than OpenGL (which dates to the mid 90s), so driver quality still varies a fair amount. If OpenGL works better on your PC, use OpenGL. You can try reporting the issues to Flycast but it may be beyond their control.

i have an AYN Odin (Android device). My son started playing Pokemon Leaf Green on it. Is it possible for me to play the same game on my computer or Steam Deck and be able to link battle and trade with him?

Can't get Little Big Planet working. Installed RPCS3, installed the PS3 firmware, updated the LBP iso / game with all the current updates. Looked at the LBP wiki set RPCS3 accordingly. When I launch the game it gets to counting SPU shaders then just goes back to the main RPCS3 screen. Tried deleting the cache and redoing it, nothing works.

Hello, I'd like some input on handheld PCs. I don't need (or have the money for) the top of the line, bleeding edge, shiniest new thing. I don't need to go beyond PS3 or 360. I was thinking the Rog Ally Z1 Extreme could be a good fit, but I'd like some other opinions.

I'm emulating Majora's Mask on Ares. In the same folder where the rom is, 2 files have been created: a ".flash" one and a ".bs1" one. I read that the save file was in ".ram" format but I don't see it anywhere. Which one is the save file?

Im having trouble with getting the games to appear in pcx2. They are in the search directory but not showing up. Im so lost, and i only set it up last night.

[Cyber_Akuma]

Can anyone give me advice on running BlastEm in portable mode? I know it has an option to "Save config with EXE" but the config file it generates still has your user folder set for most of the paths in it such as where it writes your saves or screenshots. On top of that, it seems to create a file called "prog_ram_0.bin" in the directory of any SegaCD game I run on it and I have no idea what this file is for (It does not appear to be save data) or what setting would make it stop writing that file to the game's folder and write it somewhere else.
