          @shavecat Try loading a game manually by opening and closing the CD tray.

            i have it like @AdamBeGood

            Using Open/Close CD Tray? I don't get any links there, there is nothing to choose apart from Cancel. So your Emulators file look the same as mine..? This is irritating, I'm so close!
            

            so i cant ...
            did u sort it out ? @AdamBeGood

              @shavecat Sorry but I can't help mire than this, the only thing I can think might differ from your setup to mine is that I use chds exclusively.

                  @shavecat Set your resolution to original instead of native, it helps tremendously.

                      @shavecat I think it saves the settings for each individual game.

                          How did you resolve it? I just get no options.

                          @Zering Mine are all bin/cues, I did wonder about CHDs. Maybe I will try that.

                                Amazing stuff, that works great for me now! Thanks very much, @barbudreadmon , @Zering and @shavecat

                                On ClockWork Knight 1, Shavecat, I don't have that game but have you tried the standard emulators lr-beetle-saturn and lr-yabause just in case those work?

                                I don't have much else to offer on that though.

                                Performance seems certainly better than the libretro core, although my Sega Rally is still too choppy to play.

                                bin/cues work fine.

                                  @adambegood Performance is much better overall, sadly I'm still experiencing crippling graphical issues on many games.
                                  Still I managed to beat Panzer Dragoon for the first time this week ; I've been playing this game since I was 9. Great stuff. And it looks like the other two will run fine.
                                  Most of the 2d stuff seems to run pretty good too. Radiant Silvergun runs well but has some bad graphical glitches.

                                    Oooo does Panzer Dragoon 1 run okay? I always left that one alone as I heard it ran poorly. I need to play Zwei, I have that.

                                    At least it is another option for Saturn emulation anyway, we are getting towards a lot of games being playable.

                                        @adambegood Panzer Dragoon has some graphical glitches (some textures missing) but nothing that bothered me too much. Sometimes the sound cuts out and never comes back, save and load state in and out.
                                        Zwei runs fine, Saga looks fine too but I wouldn't be surprised if some game breaking bug crept up halfway through.
                                        Some troublesome games are getting close to playable. Nights peaked at 50 fps on my rig.
                                        I spotted a bunch of heavy hitters that appear to run well : Shining the Holy Ark, Shining Force 3, Shinobi X, Batsugun, Street Fighter Zero 3...

                                          I really recommend avoiding those 2, since you'll get far superior emulation with arcade versions. I know a few people like console ports of fighting games because of the training mode, but that's not even a problem for sfa3 which has a "training edition" clone (the romset is called sfz3te)

                                            @barbudreadmon Yeah I'm aware of that, I don't know why I named Street Fighter as I'm not even keen on the series. But Batsugun runs well enough that I enjoy playing it occasionally, and I am one of those weirdos who enjoys console ports of arcade games.
