PCSX2 Game Troubleshooting Guide - Page 4

GeominorAI · March 26th, 2008, 04:42

We appear to be crossing into the http://forums.ngemu.com/pcsx2-offici...ide-noobs.html territory with the recent articles. Any thoughts, cottonvibes?

Note: Status is the confirmation of the problem from the developers or members. The state can be unaddressed, confirmed, patched, or fixed.

Actually, the post was refering to the emulator article contents.
Perhaps the two threads can cross-transfer contents. Albeit the layouts are rather different, perhaps a cross-indexing should do fine for now?

i see what you're saying, but i think my guide's layout won't go well with adding indexing. its already really big, it would probably clutter it up too much.

is it really a problem though for this thread to also have general fixes?
plus, i think people will eventually start posting more game-specific posts once the major PCSX2 problems have been posted.
i'm still in the process of transfering my game fixes to this thread, just been a bit lazy

Perhaps, though it is rather preferable to ensure that your thread is not covered by this one. Under consideration was to move some of the general fixes here to your thread. (Or to remove their index from here and have them be linked in your thread, or have their contents copied entirely.)

Save the game to the memory card prior to using a new version of the emulator.

STATUS
This issue has been confirmed.
