Looks like Pokemon Fire Red and Emerald have started acting up, das no gud.

(5/20/18, 11:45am)

A new version of the Emulator has come out, V8. If any new issues arise with any currently working games please let us know!
Thanks! :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The list of games is always growing! So if you don't see your favorite game don't worry, it'll be here soon!
(A Txt file will be available to download. I update it every couple of hours)

If you could list any of these issues in a reply I will update the list so OP knows what issues are more serious across the emulator.

Odd Glitches/ Visual Bugs
Framerate drops
High number of crashes
Hanging screens (Game freezes on certain screens of game)
If in-game save works or if only savestate works

The Emulator being used is linked here



(I'll update the list when I can. Pretty much whenever I'm awake!)

Hey madman55, great idea for this list! I have a suggestion for formatting. It might be easier to see working vs non-working games if you split them up. Maybe something like this:

--------------------GAME LIST------------------------

Working Games:

Pokemon Ruby‎------Working, Minimum crashes, Saves
Pokemon Sapphire------Working, Minimum crashes, Saves
Pokemon Emerald------Working, Minimum crashes, Saves
Pokemon Fire Red------Working, Minimum crashes, Saves
Pokemon Leaf Green------Working, Minimum crashes, Saves

Semi Working Games:

Kirby - Nightmare in Dreamland------Working, Minimum crashes, Saves
Kirby And The Amazing Mirror------Working, Minimum crashes, Some framerate drops, Saves
Metroid - Fusion------Working, crashes sometimes, Some textures blabla



NOT WORKING AS OF REVISION V7:


Super Mario Advance 2 - Super Mario World------NOT WORKING, Game hangs on first loading screen
Super Mario Advance 4 - Super Mario Bros 3------NOT WORKING, Game hangs on first loading screen



...........................
Just an idea to help people see your list better, anyways, thanks again bro

KH:COM also does work. I don't know if it works with the saves, but there it is.

So as I said in the other thread, A Link to the Past has a lot of framerate drops once you've rescued the princess and crashes seem to be random (got to play more than 5 mins without crash this time), no visual glitch, saves work.

classic nes mario bros, the sound is absoultely terrible and there are quite a bit of visual glitches, although its probably playable
mario and luigi superstar saga is good, although there are rare sound issues
mario kart super circuit works but there are occasional sound issues
