I hate asking for help for stuff like this because I know it's probably because I'm inexperienced but I can't find anyone else with this same issue and reddit was no help. Whenever I try to play kh on my Chromebook it crashes right after I start it. It's not that the game is too big because I have much bigger ps2 games on my Chromebook with zero issues (plus kh works fine on my phone). I tried changing the bios and changing the GPU renderer but no dice. Anyone else have this issue? Or know what's wrong?

Are you using pcsx2 nightly builds? It works perfectly fine playing Kingdom Hearts. Do you have system logs after the program crash?
 
only use netherSX2 if you're on Android.
If you're on windows use PCSX2 as others have said.

Try AetherSX2, it's a fork of PCSX2. May work better for it. I don't know. Don't emulate on a Chromebook. And most of the user base here uses the PCSX2 emulator
 
I know you can use RetroArch on Chromebooks install via Flatpak

See I didn't know that as I don't use RetroArch. I find it overly convoluted and a real pain in the ass to get working the way I want.
I know exactly what you mean, since it can be a pain in the ass to get the emulator core, setup bios, it takes patience. But I'm used to stand-alone emulators since its a lot easier to setup.

Right got ya. I use Batocera on an external drive, so it's not as much of a hassle.
Aside from getting the BIOS files you need if you're lacking them I mean.
 
Thank you for all the suggestions, I'll try to download pcsx2 and if that doesn't work I'll see if redownloading nethersx2 does
Good luck and Hope it works. I was going to suggest that if you had a spare external SSD, you could install Batocera on it. But since you are using the aforementioned Chromebook, you would have to essentially jailbreak it so it would boot from the drive, as Batocera is an operating system in itself, like RetroArch without the suck
