Extra notes for certain games:

  • The reason certain games are not compatible with RetroArch/RALibretro is either unexposed memory or glitchy emulation, as seen in the examples below.
    • In the case of Brutal: Above the Claw, enemies can heal but you can't until you learn how to taunt.
    • In the case of Virtua Fighter, you'll get constant glitches like the game suddenly rewinding a couple seconds, attacks whiffing when they clearly hit, etc. The only problem BizHawk has is that it has slightly more input delay.
  • For Cosmic Carnage, disable Dynamic Recompilers if your emulator keeps crashing.
  • For Doom 32X: Resurrection, use the European version of the game, not the US/JP one (which is used for the set of the original game anyways), otherwise it will not work correctly. Also currently v2.2b must be used for achievement support, not 3.1. (Get the patch for 2.2b here)
  • For Sigil, you can patch your game using either the .bps file or the .xdelta one, both work equally and can be downloaded here.

Keep in mind this is based on personal experiences and what is listed on the game's page and as such some information might be missing or incorrect. If so, don't hesitate to DM me or use this thread! :3
