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)

Tutorial: Setup Android x86 on a USB Drive

Setting up Android x86 on a USB is rather Easy. Maybe, you want to have the Advantage of having your Installation everywhere you go, without carrying around a PC or Laptop, even a Tablet! Running off of a USB Can get slow at times, but usually if you have a Good USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 Drive, that shouldn't be an Issue. I'd recommend using a USB 3.0 Drive rather than a USB 2.0 Drive, since you can even get better Read/Write speeds on even a USB 2.0 Port. So, let's set this up shall we!

What you need:

Around 10 Mins of Time
VirtualBox (Preferably, but VMWare Works)
A USB 2.0, or a USB 3.0 Drive (Recommended! 4GB or Larger)
A PC to get it all Setup
The Internet (In other words, a Copy of Android x86, Click here, Here, and Here)

Now, i'd recommend you Download Android KitKat r5, r5 has the Best Support currently, but 5.1 is available! Even 6.0! But, those are still being worked on, and they don't have the Best support for Most Hardware.

Setting it up.

Go ahead and Insert your USB Drive, and Format it as FAT32 (For now).
Next Go ahead and Start up VirtualBox. Let's create a New Virtual Machine. I'll show you the Steps:

Go ahead and Create a New Virtual Machine.

Name it Whatever You want, but make sure to At least use the Windows Option (Linux Works)

Now, Select the Amount of RAM (Memory, not Storage) desired, 512MB, the Default works fine!

Select the Storage type (For vHDD)

Select the vHDD Type

Select the vHDD Mode

Now go to the Virtual Machines Settings, go to USB Option, and add your USB Drive.

Now Startup the Virtual Machine, and Select the ISO You (hopefully) downloaded.

Now the Virtual Machine will start. Use the Arrow Keys to select "Installation Mode".

Select "Create/Modify Partitions."

Now Select "Removable Disk." A.K.A Your USB.

Select "Yes"

Now Delete any Other Partitions, if not Continue to the Next Step.

Select the "Free Space", and Select "New." Continue by Pressing Enter, and Name the Partition (If you want to)

Now Select "Write."

Type "yes" and press Enter.

Now, the Installer will return to the Main Menu, select "sdb1", then Press Enter.

Select "ext3", but "ext2" works good as well.

Wait for it to Format....

Select "Yes" and Press Enter. Then Select No for EFI/UEFI.

Select "No" and Press Enter.

Wait for it to Write to the Media....

Now, it will ask you to Reboot or Run Android x86. Go ahead and close out VirtualBox, and Reboot your PC or Eject the USB Drive, and Insert into another PC/Laptop. If your BIOS isn't Setup to boot from USB, do so. Usually these options can be found in the BIOS Settings, via F2, F3, F10, F1, etc.
Now, Press either F10, ESC, or F12, sometimes F2 or F1. That all depends, but is usually Displayed.
Then, select the USB Drive, usually "USB Drive Device" or the Name of the Drive (Ex: SanDisk Ultra).

Android should start Booting Automatically, and you can Proceed with the On-Screen instructions/setup. Thank you for reading this Tutorial, and keep in mind that Android x86 is Pre-rooted, and even has the Playstore. Thanks again, and Goodbye!
