In my experience it's usually 1 of two options: Either the file of the game is corrputed and you need to download it from another source, or some files in the emulator are the ones missing and you may have to install it again.\r\n\r\nIt's usually one of those.

Video gamers are not as stupid as publishers like EA or console makers like microsoft would like to believe.\r\n\r\nWhat I mean by that is yeah Call of Duty is king, but over the last couple of years their sales has gone down a lot to the point that activision calls the trend, \"troubling\". Another example is how microsoft tried to pull all that bull with the xboxone and as a result it's floundering to the point that they're already talking about a price cut to try and boost it's sales.\r\n\r\nOther consoles on the other hand that actually care about their products have been around for fucking ages, aka how nintendo survived several market crashes and is still doing well selling plenty of video games.\r\n\r\nAnother example is valve and half-life 1; half-life 1 was released in 1998 and still has plenty of people playing it. Name one video game that EA published from the 90's that still has millions of players.\r\n\r\nI guess what I'm getting at is companies like EA and capcom are like a olympic sprinter entering a 20k marathon going, \"lol this is going to be easy\" trying to sprint the entire race. Just look at what's happening to capcom, they're about to go bankrupt.","author":"38b55cdf63616403d7560600"},{"id":"52f93a396368721edada0100","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@uc9\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/52f92f236368725df6060100#post_52f92f236368725df6060100\r\nCapcom, no....\r\nThey made a large part of my childhood.","author":"4fde5cee945b700a970060fc"},{"id":"52f93a7c6368721c63730200","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"Has anyone else here watched The Lego Movie?\r\n\r\n\"Business Business Business, Numbers (Is it working?) yes, YAAAAAAAY!\"","author":"5062d6f17f123b3e16001184"},{"id":"52f93d0a6368721a3db40300","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@SeraphimDawn\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/52f93a396368721edada0100#post_52f93a396368721edada0100\r\nYeah, but they really ruined a lot of said games the last few years.\r\n\r\nI would not be surprised if the same thing happens to EA in a couple years cause what's been happening the last few years for AAA video game companies is they been making projections of their sales, miss it by a fair amount and then go, \"well we're still making a profit so here's the next quarter projections\".\r\n\r\nWhat I mean by that is it's less of a \"ermagod video games are dying\" and more of AAA companies like microsoft, EA, capcom and such are seeing a continuous slow decline in their sales rates. I know it's less than the actual amount and that every year it varies, but imagine you have x product and the first year it's profit vs it's projected profit slipped by 5%, then imagine for next year you project it will be the same as your actual profit for this year and in reality it slips another 5%; now imagine it slipping by 5% the next year and the next year and the next year. Eventually there's not going to be any money left in the bank. That's what pretty much happened to capcom; they didn't just suddenly start dying of, instead they slowly slipped into where they are now.","author":"38b55cdf63616403d7560600"},{"id":"52f93fb863687221f3250000","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@uc9\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/52f93d0a6368721a3db40300#post_52f93d0a6368721a3db40300\r\nI guess even the big players are feeling the pinch. Another VG industry crash may be a good thing. Give them time to re-invent themselves.\r\n\r\nI also find it hilarious when people said that the Television was immortal, never will be obsolete. If we bring those 20th century chumps to this time, they'd have a weird look on their faces. But on other hand, TV as we know it for most of the 20th century, may die out. The television set itself would only be re-purposed for 21st century use. So it won't die out completely ATM.
