<p>This section describes potential problems/question that could arise when using FCEUX.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><span class="rvts40">Slow emulation / Sound crackle</span></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>FCEUX may not run well on slower CPUs.</p>
<p>Try enabling hardware acceleration in the <a class="rvts18" href="Video.html">Video config</a> dialog.</p>
<p>Also ensure that you're using the Old PPU, because the New PPU engine is very slow. Check Config -&gt; PPU -&gt; Old PPU.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><span class="rvts40">Emulated picture is blurred (similar to the bilinear filter)</span></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>Disable hardware acceleration in the <a class="rvts18" href="Video.html">Video config</a> dialog.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><span class="rvts40">Sound crackle</span></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>If you enable hardware acceleration and VSync, and your monitor has a framerate different from 60FPS, you may experience minor sound cracle. This is a known issue and will probably be resolved in a future release.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><span class="rvts40">Slow savestates when recording movies</span></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>On slower computers, savestates can be slow with long movies. &nbsp;A small speedup can be done by disabling Config -&gt; Enable -&gt; Backup savestates.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><span class="rvts40">"The colors in game X do not look right"</span></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>There's no such thing as a universally right palette for NES games.</p>
<p>FCEUX uses the color palette of the old FCEU / FCEUXD branches. Also FCEUX comes pre-packaged with several additional color palettes. For more information see <a class="rvts18" href="Palette.html">Palette config</a> and <a class="rvts18" href="PaletteOptions.html">Palette options</a>.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><span class="rvts40">"I converted a .fcm file to .fm2 but the .fm2 desyncs"</span></p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>Depending on what version of FCEU / Game your .fcm was made, there maybe a number of sync issues. &nbsp;These are listed in detail at <a class="rvts18" href="http://tasvideos.org/ConvertFCMtoFM2.html" target="_blank">http://tasvideos.org/ConvertFCMtoFM2.html</a>.</p>
<p><br/></p>
2012-03-23 20:30:31 +00:00
<p>In addition, the .fm2 conversion tool has had some issues on certain operating systems including Vista and Mac.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><span class="rvts40">"Can't find FDS Bios image when I attempt to load a .fds game!"</span></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>FCEUX requires the FDS Bios to be named <span class="rvts32">disksys.rom</span>. &nbsp;It must be located in the root directory (where fceux.exe is stored) or in the folder of the FDS Directory override (see <a class="rvts18" href="Directories.html">Directory overrides</a>).</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>In addition, there are some bad versions of disksys.rom. &nbsp;The one FDS requires is 8192 bytes in size.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><span class="rvts40">"How can I use Netplay / Where can I get FCEU Server?"</span></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>Currently, the WIndows version of FCEUX is not compatible with the FCEU-server code. This is a known issue and will probably be resolved in a future release.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><span class="rvts40">"I have a Game Genie rom, how can I use it with FCEUX?" </span></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>While FCEUX has a <a class="rvts18" href="GameGenieEncoderDecoder.html">Game Genie code converter</a>, you can also use game genie codes with the game genie rom. &nbsp;It must be named gg.rom and be placed in the root directory (where fceux.exe is stored). &nbsp;You must also check NES -&gt; Game Genie in the main menu.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
