Well I was trying to load up the game with my games installed and once it tries to load it straight up crashes, my graphics settings are all default and I have NO idea on why this is happening

#

This is the screenshot before it went boom

#

And my pc has a RTX 4060 and a 13th gen i7

oh yeah btw another thing, I use a third party gcn adapter that looks like this

#

Tho.. when I connect it, the controller doesn’t work lmao

#

Either it doesn’t get recognized

#

Or it just doesn’t work idk

ive never crashed there, only when the rom loads to 100%

#

Also why tf does opening steam work lmao

#

i only have rudimentary knowlegde but if i had to guess

#

the emulator needs a sufficient amount of memory to emulate the rom, and if your computer isnt running anything, its conserving memory and the emulator doesnt think your computer has enough memory to load the rom, so it crashed

#

i assume loading steam forces your system to use some vram

#

which tells the emulator "this system has thism uch vram available" and allows it to load the rom

#

im just pulling shit out of my ass here tbh

#

it's solved my issue tho and it seems to help some other people so im happy it works

#

and osmetimes just having steam doesnt work for me, but then ill load a game like nier automata (recent game ive played) and then ill load smash and it doesnt crash. then i close nier and the emu loads the rom without crashing henceforth
