At least a lot of games can run well, SEGA Saturn and Atari Jaguar are way more accidented.

Saturn's gone pretty decent over the year.

Jaguar is just straying away from God XD

At least in Android, Yaba Sanshiro doesn't work at all on many devices.
And Jaguar games runs like at 3 FPS

That's wild to me because I finished Magic School: Lunar and Virtua Cop on a VERY low-end tablet through Yaba Sanshiro (with some hiccups).

As for Jaguar... Yes, that's been my experience as well.

I'm struggling with Yaba Sanshiro for many years because the games literally don't work for me (only i get a black screen and returns to menu). I never could play a Saturn game because of that.

Huh.

Have you tried the 2nd version, Yaba Sanshiro 2? It's on the Google Play Store.

I don't remember which one I used, but one worked well enough to play.

How old is your phone?

Yes, was in fact was the Google Play version.
About my phone, i tried to emulate Saturn on a earlier phone i had that was better than my current one and if Yaba Sanshiro didn't work on my earlier phone, i don't think that would run on my current one.

For some reason, I’ve always had this problem with Devil May Cry 2. For context: I didn’t play DMC2 on the PS2 (My introduction to the series was actually 3 and 4, after which I then circled back play 1) but when the HD collection came out on Steam; I decided to try and give it a shot. Every time I’d select 2 in the menu, it would just crash and close itself, booting me back to my desktop. I want to reiterate this was never a one-time thing, this is EVERY SINGLE TIME I’ve ever tried to play it. Given that games reputation though, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s actually some kind of divine or cosmic force desperately trying to spare me from playing it lol. It might be a blessing in disguise.

That's your computer's suck filter. You have to whitelist it so it doesn't stop it from booting.

Fallout New Vegas

from my experience i think this happens because you have a another mod that requires the mod you removed, or the removed mod changed something in the base game and the game can't run without it now.

Wish there was more I could tell you, man.

My copy of SH3, it’s mint but refuses to boot on my PS2 slim anymore, yet I burned a CD-R image of the NTSC version and it works.

My copy of Diablo on PC did exactly that and I was like...

Oh that's a shame dude! that's a classic one.

I researched a bit online and there's this i guess 'myth' that certain PS2 slim models struggle launching SH3, but I don't believe it personally. it's similar to how it's also believed (but not proven) that if you use burnt cd's on a Dreamcast it destroys your lens faster.

Actually, I have been burning my own DC games for a very long time and my (secondhand) console only required two laser changes in 19 years, so it could either be true or a myth.

They did say the same about the PS1, though.

Pretty much, choose your Bethesda game....

I actually like them more when they crash. Now, I know that's weird, but you know good and well, Bethesda games don't need a reason to crash or a mod. They like to crash straight out of the box, so to speak.

It's always funny to run, say, Fallout: New Vegas, get 20 minutes into it, use VATS, and then it crashes upon the first shot. have had this very thing happen to me more than once over the years, but it's always interesting to see what kind of wonkiness causes one of Bethesda's legendary games to crash...

Looking at them funny will make them crash TBH...

I started to call them Bugthesda years ago with a friend. It really suits them.

Yup, same with goemon

Emulation just does not count. The game needs to be native. 99% of any bug or crash on a game being emulated is not happening on real console.

Silent Hill 3 was never released on CD-R format on PS2. It was only released on CD for PC, but not in Japan nor Europe, only on specific regions.

Really its DVD-R but.. IDGAF about being super accurate, its similar enough

Well, there are some PS2 DVD games that were ripped to CD in the past, but Silent Hill 3 has never been one of them. If you played ripped games, it is not similar, it is disgusting. I don't really know why they did those things in the first place. Different thing is to rip info from Dreamcast game because it is not possible to buy CD-R of 1.1GB, that at least has an excuse.

This remembers when my grandpa was calling Bluray movies "DVD". I was telling him a Bluray is a Bluray, a DVD is a DVD, they are not the same. Anyways, I am sorry your original copy of Silent Hill 3 isn't working, that is really uncommon. Did the disc got any rot from being in a very humid place?

OK there's a BIG thing That's really got a wild hair up my ass today.
Does your PC have a game that it just WILL NOT run?
I am a GIGANTIC Indy Jones (well the trilogy at least), and no matter
what combination of tips, tricks, fixes, different ways and websites, my
PC won't run Indy and the Great Circle. I've waited a while through some
game and driver updates and thought I'd try again. guess what...
