Troubleshooting
Imbnes v.1.3.2
Does ImbNES supports game genie codes?
ImbNES 1.3 does support GameGenie codes, to use it, on menu press triangle to enter ImbNES configuration and then choose gamegenie option. Insert the code for the game, then load it.
What mappers are supported on ImbNES?
According to Allan: 0,1,2,3,4,7,9,11,66 and 71.
Version 1.3 added support to mappers 9 (punchout) and 34 (deadly
How do I reset the emulator and return to game selection screen?
Press and hold L1+R1+select+start
When I try to run a game or return to the game list I get a black screen?
Seems like this game isn't supported yet or you have some problem with the emulator.
Try to reset the emulator holding L1+R1+select+start, and if this don't work reset your console.
How can I run ImbNES on PAL or NTSC console/TV?
On game selection screen press L2 or R2 to change between PAL and NTSC operation mode, then run a game.
I've burned the CD but it only spins and nothing happens?
This is probally due to the CD not being well burned.
There are a lot of ways to burn cds, and sometimes depending on your software/hardware only one of them works. Try different ways to burn it, and remember to burn it at 1 or 2X.
Does 700MB/80min CDs work on PSX?
Yes, but PSX can only read about 610MB/71min from a cd, so, if you respect this limit, it will run without problems.
I'm getting major graphics problems on ImbNES1.1 when I try to play it on my PS2. What is happenening?
Version 1.2b of ImbNES may have grafic problems when played on the PS2. Use ImbNES 1.3 that is better and supports menu in PS2.
I saved the game and reseted my Playstation and I have no save?
For saving from SRAM to memory card you must first save in the game then you shold press L1+R1+SELECT+START to reset the game. A screen will appear asking you to press:
CIRCLE to save the SRAM to memory card X to cancel and do not save, just reset TRIANGLE+SQUARE to delete de SRAM on memory card for this game
Can I save on memory card1? How many blocks do I need?
Please notice that the saves will be stored on memory card 1 only and each save requires a save block.
I have a PS2, can I use a PS2 memory card with ImbNES?
No, you must use a PSX memory card on your PS2 to save games in ImbNES
How do I change buttons in ImbNES?
In ImbNES menu, press triangle to enter options, choose button config, then press the buttons you want when asked.
How to I turn on/off turbo?
In key configuration you can choose a turbo-switcher button for A and B buttons, by default those are triangle for B and circle for A. Press those keys to swtich between no-turno, fast-turno, normal-turbo and slow-turbo.
Snes-Station v2.3
runs slow or laggy, what can I do to fix this?
There is only one possible fix for this, and that is to use the SNES-Station options menu to disable sound.
When I load SNES-Station using the swap method, all I see is a plain red or black screen. What am I doing wrong?
This is a known problem with the emulator, the current fix for this is to get the current version of CDLoader, use your swap disc to load CDLoader, then use CDLoader to load SNES-Station
Some/all of my ROMs display in black and white with no sound, What's wrong?
This is due to the TV format of the game, and the TV format of your TV being incompatible. You can fix this by forcing to PAL or NTSC depending on the native video format of your TV.
I was wondering if Snes-Station handles .7z files?No you must unzip them use winrar to unzip them.
I want to save a game how can I do it While playing a game if you want to save press L1 and R1 press SRAM saves to be saved to your PS2 memory card.
When SNES Station runs its disclaimer and menu mode, there is sound, though when playing a game there is no sound. This occured after the 3rd or 4th time running the emulator.If you want in Game sound you must put it on in the options menu.

Nice guide! I'm going to be lazy and not use the search function and ask you instead cos I've read quite a few of your guides on emulators for use with PS2... :p
Since you can't load PS1 games with HDLoader/HDAdvance because they use the same chip (or something like that... can't remember exactly what it was now, it's been a while since I read about this), do you know if anyone's working on a PS1 emulator for use on PS2 (I'm fairly sure that the answer is not but just need to confirm)? Because that would, theoretically, solve the problem of not being able to play PS1 games using HDLoader...?

do you mean by installing a psone emulator to HDLoader/HDAdvance for the ps2 and loading a game without using Breaker Pro or action replay(psone disc) to boot up?

Yep :) At the moment I just use my Matrix Infinity to load PS1 games, but obviously it'll be nice if there's a PS1 emulator so a HDD can be used for PS1 games

Are Neo Geo pocket and NeoCD emu's worth the time? Was thinking about making a compilation, but is the emulation decent enough?

I have PGEN and for some reason it won't run on my PS2. It runs fine on my PS2 emulator so I know it plays. All other backups and imports work, just not PGEN. I get a "Not a valid PS2 disc" on my Swap Magic 3.6 Plus. Any solutions? Oh, and I'm using YT discs so it can't be the media.

No, I meant it says "Are roms legal....Yes", when i read it, it sounds like you are saying that roms are legal. I know they arn not and know you also know that. Just the way that statement reads threw me off.
