I tried to install Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Adventure Squad directly on Dolphin but nothing happening and I get this message" The region code does not match the Game ID. If this is because the region code has been changed, the game may run at the wrong speed, graphical elements may be out of place, or the game may not run at all" when I Verify game. The game start in black screen when I play it on Dolphin.

Hard drive not connected(?)

Guess who's going through some computer shit again. So I was just going through my morning like usual, right? Then I get to my computer, and there I find it saying something about there not being a hard drive. Then I restart, and I focus a bit too long on "Shit, I should really reinstall Windows" Normally I'd be like "Well, time to get a new hard drive" but I have files I wanna back up. Then I notice text when I try to start it up, but it went by really fast so I had to record and get a freeze frame. Then after I finish recording I notice something else, after it says "Starting advanced recovery" or whatever it shows this: part of a blank command prompt, which again, I recorded and got a freeze frame of. Eventually, I get the idea of trying to use a command prompt to help with my issue, since there's a command prompt in advanced recovery. I look up how to view drives, then I use the commands, and it's blank, like so: Then, I take it as a sign that maybe my hard drive got unplugged internally or something, so I open it up and plug it back in some more, then I try again. No dice. Then I open up the BIOS/UEFI settings and I see that my hard drive is connected as SATA-0, but I look in the BIOS logs and... However, when I looked on the inside, there was a port coming from the power cable for the hard drive not connected to anything labeled "P4", and on the other end is the cable plugged into the hard drive labeled "P3", like so: So I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Help is very much appreciated. (btw if it matters/helps, my PC is a Dell Optiplex and is on Windows 10)

Hello,

I got a new PC at the beginning of this year, but am only just starting to do PC gaming now, previously been a console gamer mostly.
I realised that I only have 133 GB of memory on my internal hard drive which will run out fast if I decide to do regular gaming on my PC.

I have a portable WD elements drive and am thinking of just transferring the games on my internal HD over to the WD elements drive when I am done playing. Would this work or do I need to buy another external storage device like SSD or HDD?

Would appreciate some advice on this.

In a perfect world. your 133 GB of memory is a SSD then you crack open your WD elements and it's not a frankenstein , you diasemble it and put it in your computer as secondary drive.

If the main is not a SSD then go buy one.
