I take it you've tried different builds from that link then? How it's taken you months to find Saturn emulators is a little beyond me, taking into account there are like two functional emulators that are referenced on every gaming forum in the entire world (probably). To be honest you should be grateful someone has even done a Saturn emulator, when I actually gave a toss about emulation years ago it was the only system that hadn't been emulated from that gen of systems. Even the Dreamcast had a fully functional emulator years before the Saturn. What? How can I be grateful when I can not even play it! The way you helped me here, you basically said that, if it is broken, I should give up! I am not being an unappreciative person and saying they are lacking features, I am just stating that it is peculiar that I came across this error code that is apparently un-fixable since I am the only one to encounter it. I searched everywhere for the error itself, but nothing came up. So now if you search for it, the one thing that will come up is me! Right here, right now, talking about it! So if it does not get resolved here, other people that may have this issue will not get the help they need, either. I'm not sure what you're doing notshane, or what controller you're trying to use, but it takes about 15 seconds to configure a controller in SSF. It's actually one of the easiest to set up emulators I've ever used, especially now that you can run it without a bios image. It used to work the same as it did with you guys! As I said before, it just gives me a blank version of what you guys see. Well it probably says "Press key for UP" and so on for you, it says nothing for me! I want to know why it says this and why I am apparently the only one it says this to! I can not even play any games on this emulator now thanks to this stupid issue that I have honestly spent actual months trying to resolve! Granted, that has only been about two months so far, it has felt like forever since I have been in such a Saturn mood lately.

Okay I'll make this simple for you, until you post a constructive response to the suggestions that have been offered I won't bother to post again.
Chances are you are not the only one, other people have probably had the issue, tried another build or similar alternative and like magic they have worked around the issue rather than let it consume them for two months.

So, I think I might have gotten a unique error on SSF. It has been going on for the past year and I have no idea how to fix it. I have tried just about everything. Hi! Just registered because I had the same error and fixed it. It appeared because I was using a DualShock 4 controller, and it was connected as both xinput and directinput controller at the same time, which was apparently confusing SSF. It went away after I used the "exclusive" mode (i.e. xinput-only) of DS4Windows, and now controller configuration works in all SSF versions. -- edit -- I checked this in other builds - the only versions in which this is not an issue are 007 builds, which also don't seem to register d-pad presses and are pretty much obsolete.

Afraid I can not be any more constructive than saying it doesn't work. What am I supposed to do, become a programmer, dive into the files and see which "function" is not working properly every time that blank box shows up? You are starting to sound pretty rude here. I honestly do not even know what to do about the situation. I even tried EVERY single old build, but to no avail. By the way, mostly busy with work, hence the delayed response. Have not tried to get it working since the last time I replied here, but I am back on the task now! Hi! Just registered because I had the same error and fixed it.

I can try to see if that fixes it for me, too! Thanks for the information. But, can you explain what you meant by "Exclusive Mode" I do not follow.

As I did not want to reply again in an old post, I want to know: has anyone else studied that problem that I had a while back and come up with any solutions? I have tried many things myself, but to no luck.

Yes mate, we've all spent the past couple of months studying your problems with SSF.
Again, you lack any information for what you have tried. It's like telling a mechanic you have an issue with a car, then when asked by the mechanic you just tell him it used to work. Brilliant.

You were given lots of advice in the previous thread and never came back to say what you had tried or weather anything had worked so I guess people assumed you had sorted it.
Did you try previous releases as you were advised? Which previous releases did you try? Have you tried an alternate controller to rule out a compatibility issue?
Have you tried using something like Xpadder to set your controller to emulate the keyboard then setting up SSF to use keyboard instead as a workaround?

Did you try previous releases as you were advised? Yes, I tried them all. Literally, every single one gave me that same dialogue error. I can try them out all over again now, though, since I last did this test a few months ago and just to verify past results to see if any recent Windows updates could have fixed the problem, as it did say "MainWindows.cpp" in that error message. But, I'm certain that none of them worked when I did the first test. Which previous releases did you try? Honestly, every one that was available, both that you suggested in the last thread and that I could find myself, unless he has an update since then. But, if you know of a specific release that has the most compatibility, I can try that again just to be sure. Have you tried an alternate controller to rule out a compatibility issue? Sadly, yes. I even tried unplugging my GC Adapter in fear that was the problem, but it still didn't solve anything. Have you tried using something like Xpadder to set your controller to emulate the keyboard then setting up SSF to use keyboard instead as a workaround? This is the only thing I have not tried, but isn't it already using the keyboard to ask for the original inputs? I am a bit lost here.

Have you tried reporting the bugs to the author?

Have you tried reporting the bugs to the author? Does he still even release new versions anymore? I heard the last one was quite a while ago. Would he even respond to a complaint about the emulator after so long?

Where did you "hear" that exactly? SSF releases are pretty regular.

Would he even respond to a complaint about the emulator after so long? He is still working on it, just not as often. The latest test version on the site had the entire SH2 emulator rewritten in C, which fixed some ingame bugs, like the zombies not biting in Resident Evil. Also he knows enough English to at least read whatever message you send him to. I've reported bugs before.

I want to see this, because if there is a release newer than what I have, that might very well fix my situation and I have to try it out. I just assumed the one I found on Emulator Zone was as recent as it got. Does he still even release new versions anymore? I heard the last one was quite a while ago. Would he even respond to a complaint about the emulator after so long? He is still working on it, just not as often. The latest test version on the site had the entire SH2 emulator rewritten in C, which fixed some ingame bugs, like the zombies not biting in Resident Evil.
