Why no Mednafen allowed for PS1 emulation?
5 years ago

It's the most accurate and psxjin/Bizhawk are both a pain in the ass (I can't get the latter working at all).

It is something we can consider. I'll have a chat with the mods about it soon. Keep in mind though, since psxjin loads faster, to run on either of these other emulators would put you at a massive disadvantage.

Thanks. psxjin runs but the sound is way off (for example, the intro of the the guy walking and being attacked after the Capcom logo CGI keeps playing even after I've hit start and I'm on the menu screen).

Mednafen is a pretty good emulator, question is does it have input display? Because it's mandatory that you show inputs in the emulator itself atm. But i guess biggest problem for people using bizhawk/mednafen is, like clix said you are going to lose time as Psxjin runs the game faster. I do think people should have that option though because honestly Bizhawk isn't the easiest to get running.

Edit: maybe try a different BIOS for psxjin

Good point Steven. Input display is a rule for emulation. The sound is known to do that with psxjin so that is normal for everyone to experience. You will also hear that when the final in-game time comes up at the end of your run. If that is the only thing that is wrong, I would recommend using psxjin. Remember to enable input display.

Yeah, no input display in Mednafen. psxjin runs fine except for the sound issues. Only thing is Windows Game Bar doesn't record the inputs for some reason.

Personally, I would suggest using OBS. (https://obsproject.com) I've never had any problems with it capturing input display.

I tried OBS but it only records audio.

Did you try window capture instead of game capture? A lot of the time, it'll only work with window capture.

Yea, OBS is super weird with Classic for...whatever reason.

I record mine using OBS, maybe there is something not matching. When you choose to capture by window, you have some options below, try changing them until it captures the emulator.

Sega Saturn Battle Game - PAL

We have recently come across the fact that the final time on the timer during the gameplay and the final time on the results screen do not match in the PAL version, with the results screen time being lower by up to 9 seconds based on info we've gathered. Frame counting shows that the timer during ga
