I recall only hearing it will only scan one sub folder, if there’s any other within that folder it won’t work.

It wont even launch? The game works if you make a nsp out of it using the saturn2nsp program. FYI

So I guess compatibility for Saturn games at the moment will be best with the Saturn2nsp. I will say this though virtua cop seems to work perfect and wwf in your house starts like it works than crashes on tico the same way if I’m correct it does on ps classic version retroarch does. @FanNintendo is the game you posted works on retroarch on switch or pc, I’m really not sure how many games work on the switch version.

what tool do you use? if you convert it to nsp then it won't be in Tico menu? Am I right?

Common Fixes:
  • Unsupported Extension Error (Dolphin/Wii): The game often errors if a Nunchuk is plugged in. Go to Dolphin's controller settings, click Wiimote extensions, and select "None".
  • Game Freezing on Menu (Dolphin): If the game freezes at the controller instruction screen, this can be caused by missing NAND sync in Netplay.
  • 8BitDo Controller Issues: Some players reported issues with 8BitDo controllers in Return to Dreamland Deluxe; using a standard Nintendo Pro Controller or updating firmware can resolve this.
  • Motion Controls: Ensure motion control is active for shaking, which is necessary for certain abilities.
  • Wii Console Fix: If on original hardware, try re-syncing the controller and checking for fresh batteries.

Thanks for those but I'll give the other one a try as I don't think the wii sd works in tico. Tried messing with the controller ini as there are no options for contoller in app but no biggy! 👍

Some games actually work better on Tico from what I tested. For example, Shinobi on the Sega Saturn just works, and Bulk Slash too. They do work on Saturn2NSP, but they can be really finicky and random to start sometimes.

So right now I actually have Guardian Heroes, Bulk Slash, and Shinobi set up for Tico, while I use Saturn2NSP for Magic Knight Rayearth and a bunch of other Saturn games.

Hopefully eventually Tico keeps getting more and more compatibility because the CDH format is really nice.

I believe it’s L2 (-) button, I’m just not sure if you really need the Wii button remap thing to make it work, I have that.I think that’s what you are asking.Pressing those buttons changes Wii control type in game.

Nice itiative especially on HOS. unfortunately the one game I wanted to play: True Crime New York City isn't playable (too much slowdown). Had to revert to PS2 version on Ubuntu.

What game isn’t working for you because they have a compatibility list on their website.
It’s also here to
