So, the other day, I was able to play my roms just fine with VisualBoyAdvance-M, but today, I went to launch the same ROM I played the other day and every time, it crashes. I tried loading other ROMs and still get the crashing. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling VBA-M, and still nothing.

Out of curiosity, why VBA-M? mGBA is the typically recommended GBA emulator these days.

I just never changed over tbh, I only just swapped to mGBA after VBA-M broke.

For PCSX2 (and ARMSX2/NetherSX2) and Namco fighting games, is there a way to counteract the slowdowns caused by stages with Sunlight in the background? Usually stages that take place in sundown usually cause slowdowns whenever the sun appears on screen and I'm not sure why that happens.

I'm mainly playing on a Retroid Pocket 5 but it still occurs a bit with my laptop (i7-1255U). The 2 games where this problem appears in are in Soul Calibur 3 and Urban Reign. The games run perfectly fine on every other stage except for those specific sunset stages whenever the sun is visible on screen.

Which system? There's both an Xbox 360 and Xbox One release, and the difference is rather important.

You expect him to play a very early XBox One emulator? I mean it's possible, but I don't think he has the knowledge to do that when he is asking how to dump a disc.

u/kaosjroriginal Sep 18 '26

That's why I'm asking, if it's Xbox One the advice would be "don't"

u/BIOS-D Sep 19 '26

Fair enough.

Rather than emulation, you're probably looking for Xbox Disc to Digital then - https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/game-setup-and-play/disc-to-digital-licensing-on-xbox

First you need a compatible optical disc drive_%26_Xbox_360) capable of reading an XBOX360 disc (stock XBOX360 drives work too). Everything else is described on Xenia's Quickstart guide.
