Crash when I try to run games.

xSora · February 3rd, 2009

Well I put the game as directed and when I hit run just says it encountered a problem and its going to close. D: Anyone know why this happens and how to fix it

**SCHUMI_4EVER** · February 3rd, 2009

You really need to provide more information, like which game/s, which version, what are your specs and OS, did you use the correct savetype? etc.

Hmmm I'm trying to play Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, I have the newest version of the emulator, I used the first option to save ;o Im not sure if Im doing anything wrong.

**SCHUMI_4EVER** · February 4th, 2009

You are using the wrong savetype, the correct one is Eeprom 512kbit

I put it on and then I hit run and it still gave me the error encountered.

**SCHUMI_4EVER** · February 4th, 2009

Well then you will have to tell me your PC specs as it runs fine for me.

Hmmmm what do you mean by PC specs :o Im a newbie sorry

**SCHUMI_4EVER** · February 4th, 2009

As in what you processor is, your graphics card, how much RAM you have, what Operating system you use, that sorta thing.

Processor is the old one, the last one before the 2 core duo came out(Premium D) Graphics card its the one that came with it a crappy 118MB ._., RAM 1GB and Im operating on windows XP

**SCHUMI_4EVER** · February 4th, 2009

Is your graphics card an ATI or an nVidia card? because you have to set the emulator to the correct one. (in my case it's nVidia)

ohh... I see well I don't know it says Express Chipset Family o_O

**SCHUMI_4EVER** · February 4th, 2009

That's something else I think.

O well just try setting it to whatever it's currently not. Try updating the drivers for your graphics card (for that you need to know what it is though), update DirectX and download Visual C++ Runtimes from Microsofts website.

Otherwise you will just have to try a different emu, although they all struggle to run this game well. NeonDS also does not have sound at this stage by the way.

Its Fine I'll see what I can do with it. :3 thanks for the help

**SCHUMI_4EVER** · February 4th, 2009

You're welcome, sorry it's hard to locate the problem, I can only guess that either the emu can't use some instructions it was programmed with (either due to your hardware being too old/weak or an incorrect setting, more likely just weak hardware though which is missing the ability to carry out those commands) or your drivers and Visual C++ runtimes are not up to date and therefore don't allow for those instructions either.

I recommend using either no$gba or DeSmuME 0.9 at the moment by the way.

An Express Chipset Family is one of those crappy Intel integrated GPU (example). Seeing that you need an openGL 2.0 compliant card, and most of them don't support it (iirc, only the very last released do so), you aren't meeting minimum requirements, and it's normal it crashes.

Go try another emulator, as SCHUMI-4-EVA said.
