From a386cd0290f9b1299c571212745aee9dbb6199b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ladynadiad Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2025 06:23:35 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Update emulator-support-and-issues.md -Added some notes about the lack of dev tools for the Flycast standalone and a recommendation to try in the core before opening a ticket Multiple devs have reported having users open tickets and the issue was resolved by switching to the core. -Removed Picodrive from Master System. Game Gear lacks it and is very similar to Master System. On Master System Picodrive behaves very similarly to SMS Plus GX which is also not supported. -Added to the several games are problematic part to use Bizhawk if the game performs poorly as well. With the memory exposure update many of those unsupported games no longer show that, but they perform poorly in the libretro core. --- docs/general/emulator-support-and-issues.md | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/general/emulator-support-and-issues.md b/docs/general/emulator-support-and-issues.md index 344e3c4f..3bc6ca5c 100644 --- a/docs/general/emulator-support-and-issues.md +++ b/docs/general/emulator-support-and-issues.md @@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ This page focuses on supported emulators.
