11/13/18 Works as of this date, all links and video suggestions. The DL from Mega took 3 separate tries as I was using the free storage and not the paid so I had to restart the DL every 5 hours to get it to finish. Only DL so much per day on free. Its laggy as heck but I will restart and see how that goes. Very good Sir. Thank you
thanks man ill save this vid for later. this fixed my black screen issue somehow. thanks mate. much appreciated. much love. good video brother. mashallah.
I had to fuck around with it a bit. But I finally got it working with no freezes or crashes. Same with Silent Hill Downpour. Bit of a headache. But total success.
the black screen error only occurs when u are using a pkg/rap from the PSN Version of the game, the emulator uses a pecific data from that file that are usually used for blue ray disks and the emulator tries to start the game as a movie. U have to use the Disk rom, the renderer isnt the problem. And sure you get a black screen when u try to use a renderer that cant be used because your APU or GPU isnt supporting it.
Thank you very much, finally got my black screen fixed. Though the only thing i did change was using Vulkan instead of OpenGL, though that might be because i am using and AMD GPU. using OpenGL caused the game to bug out and flash the screen every second.
@@auridon it's really odd how some of those graphical setting just aren't compatible with some gpus over others. Just goes to show what has optimizations and more priorities over other cards. Glad it worked out for you! Hopefully you get to enjoy that good!

The rom download page doesn't work anymore. Edit: after looking through some other comments I've been lead to believe I don't need the iso and I only need the 12 rom files. Is that true?
Open GL doesn't open the game at all, and Vulkan only shows the weapons, but everything else is just black. Edit: I fixed it, just tick the "buffer white color" option.
Thank you for the very detailed explanation. I was trying to play this last night and could get the game started, character built, and play the beginning of the tutorial. However, when I'd warp to the next section I'd get a black screen with just the HUD visible. Going to follow this step by step tonight. I know I had it on Vulkan, I also was configuring from the emulator itself rather than the game. Hopefully changing those will correct the issue. So is Vulkan non-viable? Or can I switch it to Vulkan after the game is stable? Intel I7-7700k Geforce 1080 ti 16gb ram Samsung 970 M2 SSD
rjdunn808 for me I cant run Vulcan for the demon souls as I just get a black screen even with write color buffers on. It just depends on certain configs of computers. For you it should be fine. Hopfully the tutorial helps out. If you have questions on anything feel free to ask. I'll try to get back as quick as I can.
@@Kbfrmdaa When the game booted up. I could watch the intro movie and see the main menu just fine. When I clicked to load my game it would try to render and just go black. I could see the user interface fine. I couldn't see anything else except a black screen. However, I could control my character and hear that he was walking, rolling, swinging his weapon etc.
Just one and use the second link from mega. Thats the one I used in the video. It may take time to download and it also may say it exceeds a limit but just leave it there and come back later and it should continue and finish out.
im 5 years late but, my game is stuck at the first pop up where you have to click OK - i cant do it, tried with my keyboard and controller, did set up both of them in the emulator, any idea how to fix it?
Later reply then I wanted. Not much I can think of besides checking to see if the rom has its own preferences as well. Double check and see if there are some settings to mess around with for both, try relaunching the emulator and rom a few times too. Might not be picking up the inputs from the emulator itself. You can also try external inputs and see if that also works. I'd save that as a last resort however. Otherwise it's a lot of the time checking different settings and plugging and unplugging things.
Watching this has gotten me much closer to getting the game working optimally. The only problem I'm having is the constant freezes the game is having, to compile textures. The tutorial alone, it happened 10 times against the 2 enemies (teaching you targeting), where it would pause for about 5 seconds before I can move a step and then pause again. Is there a setting that will fix this?
Have you tried the newer releases of rpcs3? Has the fps improved? Because i tested demon souls a few months ago on my i5 4460 and gtx 970 and i was getting 40-45 fps with occasional freezes.
The most recent I have tried it was sometime between October or November of 2020. And at that time yes it was improved compared to previous versions. For the most part I know that the game does really well at those settings. I usually never hit above 35 FPS but the game would at least run and be playable. You can try to see if the emulator had an additional settings added to adjust game properties, which could help run the game smoother. That's about all I can say on that hope it gives you an answer for your question.
Help please! I did everything exactly as you did in the video and whenever I try booting it up it says "Booting Failed: Disc could not be mounted properly. Make sure the disc is not in the dev_hdd0/ game folder"
Yeah, another guy with Demon's souls problems. Black screen of doom. Pretty cool that you are still responding to comments. Specifically, the 3d elements flicker between a white and black screen where the 2d elements are still visible, sometimes showing the game as is should be for a few frames. All settings are identical to the vid. Vulkan crashes the emulator hard on game boot. My GPU is vulkan compatbile, doom 2016 works good on it. i7-10510U processor GeForce MX250 2g (yes this is a laptop) 16 GB DDR3 ram Intel Optane 460GB SSD Emulator version 0.0.9-9832-1669e958 pls sen hlp
for the most part what I always say first to this is, 1 double check to make sure that you set the setting in both the rom and the emulator. if both were set and its still happening try changing the graphic setting to opengl or any other option in the graphic listing, again while making sure that its set in both the emulator and rom, sometimes this can just fix it. If its still happening let me know.
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 I made sure that the settings are the same for both the rom and emulator and tried both OpenGL and Vulkan. OpenGL results in the flickering, and vulkan crashes the emulator itself on game launch. Thanks for the quick reply.
could you include a "jump to" link in the description? i clicked on this video for the black screen fix, and already installed it, and had to sit through the install tutorial, not wanting to skip ahead to miss when the fix starts to be explained. not a bad video, but something that might make it better.
The mega link I downloaded in the description is missing the PS3_GAME files and when I pasted it in the dev_hdd0 it kept saying Invalid disc path found, Did I miss something or is the Mega file no longer working?
The mega file takes a while to download. Once you have it the file should contain 12 rar files if it doesnt then yes your missing something. Otherwise I'm not sure what would be causing it to happen
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 The thing is when I'm extracting it there's no PS3_UPDATE/PS3_GAME, I'm not missing any files or anything I still got the 12 rar files and all but it just refuses to extract the correct way, could it be that I'm using 7zip or perhaps it's outdated?
@@JEELLEH if there is an ps3 update file that sounds like the firmware version. There is a separate link to get the firmware update. Otherwise if you have the 12 rars then there's nothing missing for the file. At that point thats all I can say. Am not sure what else it could be.
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 It's supposed to extract and look like a Blu Ray disc file something like (BLUS30443) mine just wont do it it's just a folder with the rom and the 12 rar files nothing else :/
HELLO again...it doesnt work THAT perfectly x) then.... I just wanna ask - your game is running without game freezing/bugs? I used your version, like exactly same, even with same disc ver., setup, everything and game is seems without bug, only one problem... permanent game freeze like every our.... It seem sometimes at new locations game stuck/total freeze and I must restart the game....but after that runs almost perfectly...to the time when it gets stucked at another location x) maybe problem with texture compilation, CPU compatibility... whatever? BTW PC base is i5-8600k (4,9GHz OC) + asus 1080 GTX, Win10 system ....running pretty smooth, just that game freeze is fu*kedup x)
Btw I trying YOUR version of emulator, bcs that new (v0.0.5-6734) throws start disc bug and ingame bug too.... Okey, runs with little different setups, but bugs was gone with your (rpcs3-v0.0.4-2018-02-22-5266dd6c_win64) version.... Of course it can run with some new 0.5 versions, but there is thousands of them xD I will try some of them later maybe...like after year, for now, for everybody, this one works perfectly ; )
I'm trying to run the game for the first time but I'm getting a black screen followed by this line in the console: F {PPU[0x1000000] Thread (main_thread) [0x000625b4]} VM: Access violation reading location 0x18 (unmapped memory) I followed your instructions. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I would appreciate help if you're willing. Edit: Nvm I managed to fix it myself
You extract all 12. Click the first file, then shift click file 12 to highlight them all. Extract and you'll get the file that I placed in disc folder in the video.
@@brandlarmet8511 you can use 2 programs, one is called winrar, the one that I use is 7zip. Both you can find on google searches and download either or.
the sound is a nightmare because it stutters..... how to fix? another issue i have is that when i try to use vulkan my graphics setting is always on the intel graphics even i have nvidia geforce gtx 1070 and no one else seems to have this problem, WHAT DO I DO I NEED ANSWERS!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Even if I followed every step of your video i can't play. Game crashes after boot, sometimes it crashes on the opening video and sometimes it crashes at first dialog shown.
MEGA download worked upto 80% then asked for subscription fee could you link another dl source by any chance? will the new 60fps patch work on this version thanks
It would be a little while before I could get a new link. And as for the patch im unsure at the moment and would have to look into it. I'll try to get back on that soon
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 thanks for responding duude o/ got the rom from here: downloadgameps3.com/demons-souls-iso-free/ got the patch from here: ruclips.net/video/2wAym4wZPCA/видео.html haven't tried it yet. TC
Check and make sure the setting is toggled on both the emulator and rom. And if that was already the case, change your GPU settings to a something else and try to real load it. If the rom is still showing a black screen the game after this it may be incompatible with your computer.
I can load up the game, watch the opening scene, traverse the start menu, and even make a character. But after making a character, I attempt to skip the beginning scene where your character walks through the fog, and the game will freeze. I can hear the sound of spawning at a bonfire (That I recognize from Dark Souls) and then the game goes quiet and is totally locked. I'll stop the emulation and change the config settings and try again, and only get the same result. Also, I don't even have the option to select "Vulcan" under the Renderer drop-down menu. There is only OpenGL and Null for me. I know you recommend OpenGL anyways, but I've seen other youtube videos of people running DeS with Vulcan just fine, and I'll try any option to get this to run. Maybe Vulcan would work for me. I've been trying to get this game operational for a week and a half now with the free time I have in between work and other things I have to do and I'm about pulling my hair out, and losing my mind with all this time I've put into trying to make this work and have gotten no results. If anyone has any idea, I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it.
Alright lets try and get this game running for you. First for the vulcan option, I am guessing that the graphic card in your computer is an Nvidia card. If this is the case then the reason that the option for vulcan is gone is due to a update with the Nvida series cards. I can link you to a video that should fix the update to re-enable the vulcan driver to appear on the option list in RPCS3. If you do that and try the option and still have problems with the game then message me back and I can try to help with other options. Link to the Nvidia fix: ruclips.net/video/siOLOXbBYGQ/видео.html
Thanks for getting back to me so soon man, I'm really frustrated and appreciate your time. So I tried the fix from that russian guy in the link you sent, and no luck :( I triple checked I did everything right, I've been through this type of thing many times and I know the smallest mistake will mess it up, so I'm positive this fix must not be right for me. In the comments section of that video someone mentioned problems with the Nvidia drivers. So I deleted that edit to the registry from that russian guy, and tried to update Nvidia drivers. My latest driver is from 2015 or '14 (I forget), so I thought maybe this would do the trick. The latest Nvidia driver from 2017 wont install though, I've had this problem since it first dropped, and I thought back then that the Nvidia people would fix this in time, but I was wrong. Won't install through GeForce Experience, and I can't get it manually from the Geforce or the Nvidia website either. Through GeForce Exp. it starts download and stays frozen at 0.00 kb a second. Then through the website it gets all the way to the end of the process and then tells me everything failed to install. To anyone reading this, avoid Nvidia products. They are incompetent and treat their customers like garbage. I'm due for an upgrade for some of my computer's components (not really in dire need at all, but why not) I can still run new games at max/near max settings, but I would like to purge Nvidia from my life. I got to go to work now, I work nights 10pm to 7am. Thank you so much though dude, for reading my long ass comments and trying to help. I got a lot of stress in my life right now, and anyone who tries to help me is super appreciated, even with the smallest things. I've had a close friend die last year from a heroin overdose, and my mother actually just died a month ago from liver failure because she was an alcoholic. On top of that I have money problems, relationship problems and just stress everywhere. It's caused me to have a really short fuse with figuring shit like this out, and you taking the time to help me out is really cool of you man.
Atomastos its understandable. Trust me I know how you feel. My last 3 year's or so have been a wild ride of just unfortunate luck but Ive been trying my best to keep striving forward. All i can is say to push through and hope that your experiences get better, because no one needs to have really unfortunate luck in their lives. I'm sorry that I cant really offer to much help in how to fix the problem your having on the emulator. However if I find anything out I will make sure to let you know. Heres hoping this comment can help, even if its just a little!
Thanks man, I do appreciate the sympathy. Kinda random that I brought that up, but I'm just stressed and tend to vent to random people. Also, I think I am going to either wait for the next RPCS3 version, Get a new non-Nvidia graphics card (mine is 4 and 3/4 years old anyway), or buy a PS3 simply for DeS. I was pretty hyped when I had seen a few youtubers uploading videos about DeS running smooth now since the latest RPCS3 version, with Dark Souls being a contender for my favorite game ever. Would be really nice to have it on my PC, being the avid PC gamer I am. But I'll put this on the shelf for now, and get it figured out eventually. Was going to finally pick up Dark Souls 3 during this summer sale, so it was also going to be perfect timing to dive into the game that started it all. Thanks for your time and reading my long, rambling comments :)
Also, I noticed the name of the DWORD file you have to put in the folder key you create called "drivers" is "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository v_dispi.inf_amd64_5601d21ccd639df9 v-vk64.json" for that Russian guy's fix, and I am running Windows64 bit on this PC, so I tried to change the "System32" part to "System64" but still no luck. Also tried that by creating a QWORD since the name for DWORD is "DWORD32bit" and then there is QWORD next to it called "QWORD64bit" but that dint work either. Just throwing that out there in case it sparks something, but I suppose I'll give this a rest now. Thanks again for your time. Gave you a sub and like for your helpfulness.
I'm getting major issues when trying to play this, fps jumps between 3-27 and it feels like I'm playing a slideshow nearly all the time. My specs are: i7 4790K 16gb ddr3 666mhz ram GTX 1080
Heres what you can do, I had someone with the same problems. In the emulator go into Configuration>GPU and try to change either the Renderer and or the additional settings. Changing some of the settings here can help with some of the FPS jumps. It comes down to figuring out which settings should work best. If nothing changes after trying this let me know I might have a second option that might help better.
Swapping to vulcan and toggling the other settings doesn't seem to have done anything. I think I've been getting better results by changing the renderer to vulcan and preferred spu threads to 1, but I can't really tell for sure. Once I get past a certain point in the tutorial (very early in it) my fps starts shitting itself and it's like a slideshow from that point on.
I can try to list some settings that will help improve this but I have to find the list where I had written this down and right now it will take me a little while before I can check that. Going to be a bit busy today but I will make sure to let you know on that in the next 24 hours at latest. Because I have a AMD card my GPU settings were a little different. however Ive heard that the GTX GPU can have a setting to help with the emulator specifically if you want to look into it now instead of later. Sorry that I cant be much help to later.
So I have tryed to find the old video I watched detailing some settings on GTX cards but I cant find it anymore sadly. Both your CPU and GPU should be fine to run the rom. It could be your ram due to the slower ddr3 but Im now sure if that would cause an issue or not. Unfortunately this emulator doesn't always run well even with a beefy computer. Sorry that I cant offer much help here. If I do fine anything I will let you know.
you probably won't respond to this comment after two years .. but i tried to download the zip folder and extracted it, after doing this i went to the rpcs3 folder and then to the disc folder, but i didn't find the demon souls blus 30443 folder, it should have downloaded along with the folder files zip? can I find a link where to download it? sorry for the bad translation but i used google translator
Nope I still respond to all of these. For the most part when you have the demon souls zip file, extract it to an empty folder and you will get the demon souls blue 30433 file. You just have to move that file to the disc folder. You can check the description box there was a comment I had that might make it easier to follow. If you still have trouble let me know I can help you with it. Probably wont response for a while, am just about to sleep.
@@gamegalaxyzone7763so i have to put the DeS folder in the disc folder? I asked the question above because I saw in the video that there was another folder in the disc folder called demon's souls blus 30443. Thanks for your help
My bad its been so long that I couldn't remember what the file name was. Yes when you extract the rom the file wont be named blus it will be DeS. place that file in the disc folder and reload the emulator and it should appear.
There's a couple things I can think of. One could be that mega didn't download all of the files when the rar was completed. If anything double check to see if it needs to resume download or not. Two when you extract the files there may be more or less. I know I had an issue similar but it's been so long I don't remember what I did to fix it. You can also try using the files you have. It is possible that is all the files and the format changed. Try it out first if it doesn't work or didn't initially let me know. I can take a look at it and see what's up.
Extracted the files to the disc folder, but it says the whole thing is invalid when I load up RPCS3. Can't find any guides on how to fix this, any suggestions?
Trying to confirm some things first. One when you downloaded the file was it called DeS.zip. second open the zip file and confirm that theres 12 rar files inside. If thata the case the right click on the DeS.zip folder and extract to an empty folder. Once done it should look like the file from the video. If this was done and still failed its possible that the zip don't download all the files and you might want to try downloading it again. On the rare chance this wasn't because of the file it could be the way rpcs3 was setup. But let me know if this works first before that.
The game is showing up on the game list I boot it, it looks like it's doing fine but no game window pops up, even though according to the emulator it's running.
Well thats a new one. Cant say I would know the reason on what would be causing that. It's either the emulator taking longer than normal to launch or some sort of error that preventing it from launching. I can try to look at the emulator later today but if I dont response than I dont know what it could be and I'm sorry about that.

@@kylemah6086 sorry I didnt get back to you on your previous message right away. Was busy at the moment in time. But glad it's working and enjoy the game!
2 things to try. One double check to see if you have the setting set on both the emulator and the Rom. If both are checked and its still happening try changing the graphic card setting from opengl to something else and see if that does anything.
Another person just had the same experience. For now what I can say is to still try it and see. Could have reduced the files, could be mega not downloading fully, it also could be a change from the extract. For now try it still if it has any issues let me know.
Check to make sure that the file is unzipped and that it contained 12rar files. If that didnt work then it may nit have downloaded all the files when you got the file and may need to be redonwloaded.
Double check to make sure you selected write color buffers on both the rom and emulator. If that was already the case then try to change the gpu settings to another option and try to launch it again. Theses are usually the two things i recommend to people when the game doesnt launch.
In my emulator he does not want to run, because he does not have the Vulkan, only the OpenGL I already did everything and nothing .... I hope you can help me !!
Vulcan is only used as a gpu setting if have a AMD graphics card. If you have an Nivida setting listed try that one if not OpenGL will work fine for this setup. Just make sure to set it for both the emulator and the rom.
F VM: Access violation reading location 0x0 (unmapped memory) [type=u32] this is the error that i've got after booting the game it got me stuck on black screen with compiling shaders
cant say I know much on that one. It seems like it had an error rendering data on startup. The only thing I can say is to try changing or adjusting some of the settings in the rom and try relaunching it a few times. Other then that I'm not sure what that error is.
Hey, i'm have the "Write color buffers" Activated but the is black, i can see the menu, the life bar etc. but i can't see mi character, i don't see nothing literally.
Late reply been busy as of recent. If you still need a fix here's some things to try. First double check and make sure that both the emulator and rom are checked for write color buffers. Second if it still happens try to change you GPU settings to another option again making sure that its toggled on both the emulator and Rom. Usually this fixes the problem but if it persist just let me know
@@jnastudios3079 I'm not to sure as to why that would be the case. I know ive downloaded the file a few times with no types of errors. When you extracted the file did you get 12 rar files.

On the first post it only looks like part 2 of the rar was added and nothing else. Make sure that you extracted all 12 rar files to one folder and then place that folder in the disc location. If you did extract all the files to one folder and this was from something else try to re extract the files again as it maybe had an error extracting. Let me know if there are still problems.

@@intbronzefeed3824 Good to hear its working, some answers to your questions. First the game is locked to 30 FPS. It can be high with certain mods and settings but was never optimized for that. Second the configure might be different because of the hardware in your computer. I've never tested on Ryzen CPU yet. Third overall the game can be pretty choppy still even after getting it optimized. One thing that might still be happening is that the emulator might be trying to run the game with the CPU integrated graphic, which would be the Vega Graphics. If this is the case then it probably explains the slow performance, To try and change this have rpcs3 open, Right click on the Demon Souls rom>Configure> GPU>Graphic Devices, and if it says Vega Integrated graphics change it to GeForce Nivida Card. Hopefully this helps answer some things. if stuff still doesn't feel right, feel free to message me again.

lags way too much any solutions for this? ive switched to vulkan which helped. and i tweeked a few settings and it helped with the compiling shaders stutter but still its running unplayable.
usually thats some of the things I would have said to do but try changing some of the additional settings and if that doesn't help then it may just be the way your computer handles the emulator. Also sorry for a late reply, I've been stuck writing papers and finals.
Alright I just went and tryed both the new versions of RPCS3 and the new firmware, reinstalled everything and kept the same settings and I did not run into any problems with the game or black screen. My best answer to give for you would be to make sure that you applied both setting for the emulator and the game itself. If its not fixed from that its possible that the emulator will not apply this setting with your graphic cards which sounds odd but i have seen it happen before.
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 actually I have Windows 10 but it's kind of low even for the emulator but now I'm using RPCS3 v0.0.5 7607 for my PC maybe in the future will be useful I guess
Make sure to double check your config to make sure its setup right. Also if you could, list your computer specs, altho highly unlikely your computer may not handle ds rom but it does get me a better idea of what could be wrong.
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 AMD FX(tm)-9370 Eight-Core Processor | 8 Threads | 7.90 GiB RAM | AVXx Thats the specs I've triple checked the config and at this point I have no idea whether its a computer issue or a user error. Also, my Rpcs3 version is "v0.0.5-7619-dbd48145 Alpha."
if its just a black screen then on the emulator go into configuration>GPU and under additional settings check mark the box that says "write color buffer" This should fix it.
Usually when I respond to these the first thing I'll ask is did you make sure to check the box for both the emulator and the Rom about write color buffers. If you did that and its still happening then I'm not sure what else could be causing it. The only other thing I would say is to try a different video setting like changing opengl to something else. That's about all I can say. This rom is still not optimized well.
My game runs smooth and a solid 60 FPS on 4K except when something breaks in game like if I roll through a barrel or break a vase I get a massive FPS drop does anyone have a solution for this?
i cant beat the tutorial because when i finally get to the warp thing i go into the loading screen and my game drops to 9fps and it freezes there forever.. i tried looking for fixes everywhere but i cant find it, i even tried a few different versions of the game and i had the same problem with all of them, does anyone know a fix?
try adjusting or changing the settings in the GPU tab on the emulator. Mostly try the check boxes under the additional settings. Make sure you change this for the rom and the emulator. Ive had people do this and it will help run the game a little better.
i just tried that and once i try warping out of the tutorial, the loading screen freezes and is there forever just like before. cant seem to find any fixes tbhh
I've been grappling with this same problem for many days now. I seem to be able to get past the loading screen by choosing the most precise option for every CPU renderer, but that lowers the framerate to an unplayable state. These (E {PPU[0x1000011] Thread (_sys_MixerChStripMain) [0x0154e5a4]} Stat: '_sys_lwmutex_lock' failed with 0x80010005 : CELL_ESRCH [x107960] E {PPU[0x1000013] Thread (_cellsurMixerMain) [0x01549ec4]} Stat: '_sys_lwmutex_lock' failed with 0x80010005 : CELL_ESRCH [x53980] E {PPU[0x1000013] Thread (_cellsurMixerMain) [0x01549ec4]} Stat: 'sys_mutex_lock' failed with 0x80010008 : CELL_EDEADLK [x13495]) Errors appear in the log when the loading screen freezes, and no matter the fiddling with settings the problem persists. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. [Note: I know this video is old, but just on the chance that someone is still trolling the comments, I like to call out to them]
nomercy8989 check to see if you enabled everything correctly. It will always say compiling shaders so don't worry about that. If somethings still wrong list some of your computer specs to me.
Da Gabster If you could tell me what graphic card you are using. Also check to make sure you are changing the setting for the game and not the emulator, changing the emulator will not change the game. You want to make sure that "write color buffer" is on. That's what causes the black screen.
Wow thats odd. Not sure what else to say there because that's the only fix I know needed for black screen errors. If I see anything else related I'll let you know.
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 Ok, anyways if you want to know the first error message on the log is: [0x01543ce8]} 'sys_mutex_lock' failed with 0x80010008 : CELL_EDEADLK [1] I don't know if is usefull
Thank you for showing how to install the game itself, in addition to the configurations. Very much appreciated!
Out of all the tutorials this is the only one that actually worked thanks so much!!
Always glad to hear!
11/13/18 Works as of this date, all links and video suggestions. The DL from Mega took 3 separate tries as I was using the free storage and not the paid so I had to restart the DL every 5 hours to get it to finish. Only DL so much per day on free. Its laggy as heck but I will restart and see how that goes. Very good Sir. Thank you
The download from mega is not great but it at least works. Glad to hear that this worked for you, hopefully you can enjoy demon souls!
Guide still works till this day, thanks for this I needed it
Doesn’t work sadly
thanks man ill save this vid for later. this fixed my black screen issue somehow. thanks mate. much appreciated. much love. good video brother. mashallah.
after tons of walkthroughs yours actually worked thanks so much
I can't seem to get it... Smh
I had to fuck around with it a bit. But I finally got it working with no freezes or crashes. Same with Silent Hill Downpour. Bit of a headache. But total success.
the black screen error only occurs when u are using a pkg/rap from the PSN Version of the game, the emulator uses a pecific data from that file that are usually used for blue ray disks and the emulator tries to start the game as a movie. U have to use the Disk rom, the renderer isnt the problem. And sure you get a black screen when u try to use a renderer that cant be used because your APU or GPU isnt supporting it.
wdym by use the disk rom
nice dxd wallpaper lmao
Thank you very much, finally got my black screen fixed. Though the only thing i did change was using Vulkan instead of OpenGL, though that might be because i am using and AMD GPU. using OpenGL caused the game to bug out and flash the screen every second.
@@auridon it's really odd how some of those graphical setting just aren't compatible with some gpus over others. Just goes to show what has optimizations and more priorities over other cards. Glad it worked out for you! Hopefully you get to enjoy that good!

How to fix the black screen problem?
The game starts but what I don't see is my character, there is even sound.
Thank you for the very detailed explanation. I was trying to play this last night and could get the game started, character built, and play the beginning of the tutorial. However, when I'd warp to the next section I'd get a black screen with just the HUD visible.
Going to follow this step by step tonight. I know I had it on Vulkan, I also was configuring from the emulator itself rather than the game. Hopefully changing those will correct the issue.
So is Vulkan non-viable? Or can I switch it to Vulkan after the game is stable?

Geforce 1080 ti

rjdunn808 for me I cant run Vulcan for the demon souls as I just get a black screen even with write color buffers on. It just depends on certain configs of computers. For you it should be fine. Hopfully the tutorial helps out. If you have questions on anything feel free to ask. I'll try to get back as quick as I can.
Thanks man. Fixed my black screen.
Was your black screen like where you can still walk hit run and everything normally but it’s like the colors in the game are just set to jet black?
@@Kbfrmdaa When the game booted up. I could watch the intro movie and see the main menu just fine. When I clicked to load my game it would try to render and just go black. I could see the user interface fine. I couldn't see anything else except a black screen. However, I could control my character and hear that he was walking, rolling, swinging his weapon etc.
@ yes this is definitely my problem. So this video helped fix this? I’m at work so haven’t had a chance to try it yet
@@Kbfrmdaa Yes. It fixed the issue.
Great video! Thanks for the guide.
No Problem. Enjoy Demon Souls!
Hey man thanks a lot for the tutorial got a question though do you just need one of the rom links or both? the first one doesn't work for me
Just one and use the second link from mega. Thats the one I used in the video. It may take time to download and it also may say it exceeds a limit but just leave it there and come back later and it should continue and finish out.
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 thanks a lot!
Saved my ass 5 years later
im 5 years late but, my game is stuck at the first pop up where you have to click OK - i cant do it, tried with my keyboard and controller, did set up both of them in the emulator, any idea how to fix it?
It will be a little bit but I'll get back to you on it soon.
Later reply then I wanted. Not much I can think of besides checking to see if the rom has its own preferences as well. Double check and see if there are some settings to mess around with for both, try relaunching the emulator and rom a few times too. Might not be picking up the inputs from the emulator itself. You can also try external inputs and see if that also works. I'd save that as a last resort however.
Otherwise it's a lot of the time checking different settings and plugging and unplugging things.
It keeps saying “Invalid disk path found” It won’t even load even though i did everything that you said to do,
Watching this has gotten me much closer to getting the game working optimally. The only problem I'm having is the constant freezes the game is having, to compile textures. The tutorial alone, it happened 10 times against the 2 enemies (teaching you targeting), where it would pause for about 5 seconds before I can move a step and then pause again.
Is there a setting that will fix this?
Were you ever able to fix it?
Have you tried the newer releases of rpcs3? Has the fps improved? Because i tested demon souls a few months ago on my i5 4460 and gtx 970 and i was getting 40-45 fps with occasional freezes.
The most recent I have tried it was sometime between October or November of 2020. And at that time yes it was improved compared to previous versions. For the most part I know that the game does really well at those settings. I usually never hit above 35 FPS but the game would at least run and be playable. You can try to see if the emulator had an additional settings added to adjust game properties, which could help run the game smoother. That's about all I can say on that hope it gives you an answer for your question.
Help please! I did everything exactly as you did in the video and whenever I try booting it up it says "Booting Failed: Disc could not be mounted properly. Make sure the disc is not in the dev_hdd0/ game folder"
A man of CULTURE I see
Yeah, another guy with Demon's souls problems. Black screen of doom. Pretty cool that you are still responding to comments. Specifically, the 3d elements flicker between a white and black screen where the 2d elements are still visible, sometimes showing the game as is should be for a few frames. All settings are identical to the vid. Vulkan crashes the emulator hard on game boot. My GPU is vulkan compatbile, doom 2016 works good on it.

pls sen hlp
for the most part what I always say first to this is, 1 double check to make sure that you set the setting in both the rom and the emulator. if both were set and its still happening try changing the graphic setting to opengl or any other option in the graphic listing, again while making sure that its set in both the emulator and rom, sometimes this can just fix it. If its still happening let me know.
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 I made sure that the settings are the same for both the rom and emulator and tried both OpenGL and Vulkan. OpenGL results in the flickering, and vulkan crashes the emulator itself on game launch. Thanks for the quick reply.
How the hell do you unpack 12 rar files wtf
(Edit) Nevermind im just a tool. Awesome vid!
Was about to message back when I saw the edit lol. Anyhow enjoy the rom
i cant get the demon souls file to pop up so i can configure it.

could you include a "jump to" link in the description? i clicked on this video for the black screen fix, and already installed it, and had to sit through the install tutorial, not wanting to skip ahead to miss when the fix starts to be explained. not a bad video, but something that might make it better.

Check VSync setting on your NVidia control panel
The mega link I downloaded in the description is missing the PS3_GAME files and when I pasted it in the dev_hdd0 it kept saying Invalid disc path found, Did I miss something or is the Mega file no longer working?
The mega file takes a while to download. Once you have it the file should contain 12 rar files if it doesnt then yes your missing something. Otherwise I'm not sure what would be causing it to happen
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 The thing is when I'm extracting it there's no PS3_UPDATE/PS3_GAME, I'm not missing any files or anything I still got the 12 rar files and all but it just refuses to extract the correct way, could it be that I'm using 7zip or perhaps it's outdated?
@@JEELLEH if there is an ps3 update file that sounds like the firmware version. There is a separate link to get the firmware update. Otherwise if you have the 12 rars then there's nothing missing for the file. At that point thats all I can say. Am not sure what else it could be.
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 It's supposed to extract and look like a Blu Ray disc file something like (BLUS30443) mine just wont do it it's just a folder with the rom and the 12 rar files nothing else :/
Color buffers... OKEY thank You sir, you´r real gangsta ; )
HELLO again...it doesnt work THAT perfectly x) then....
I just wanna ask - your game is running without game freezing/bugs?
I used your version, like exactly same, even with same disc ver., setup, everything and game is seems without bug, only one problem...
permanent game freeze like every our....
It seem sometimes at new locations game stuck/total freeze and I must restart the game....but after that runs almost perfectly...to the time when it gets stucked at another location x) maybe problem with texture compilation, CPU compatibility... whatever?
BTW PC base is i5-8600k (4,9GHz OC) + asus 1080 GTX, Win10 system ....running pretty smooth, just that game freeze is fu*kedup x)
hola que version de emulador usas? porque bajè la ultima y tiene muchas variantes con la del video y no termina de cargar el juego...saludos
Thank you so much
Why am I getting white screen only?
Btw I trying YOUR version of emulator, bcs that new (v0.0.5-6734) throws start disc bug and ingame bug too....
Okey, runs with little different setups, but bugs was gone with your (rpcs3-v0.0.4-2018-02-22-5266dd6c_win64) version....
Of course it can run with some new 0.5 versions, but there is thousands of them xD

Hey. Do I extract all 12 files to the folder, or just the first?

@@k_DEDb07 how was it??
thanks a bunch !
I have checked the write color buffers and reloaded it 69 times by now, and it still shows me a black screen with the HUD.
Check and make sure the setting is toggled on both the emulator and rom. And if that was already the case, change your GPU settings to a something else and try to real load it. If the rom is still showing a black screen the game after this it may be incompatible with your computer.
my mega file wont download further than 87 percent
I can load up the game, watch the opening scene, traverse the start menu, and even make a character. But after making a character, I attempt to skip the beginning scene where your character walks through the fog, and the game will freeze. I can hear the sound of spawning at a bonfire (That I recognize from Dark Souls) and then the game goes quiet and is totally locked. I'll stop the emulation and change the config settings and try again, and only get the same result.
Also, I don't even have the option to select "Vulcan" under the Renderer drop-down menu. There is only OpenGL and Null for me. I know you recommend OpenGL anyways, but I've seen other youtube videos of people running DeS with Vulcan just fine, and I'll try any option to get this to run. Maybe Vulcan would work for me.
I've been trying to get this game operational for a week and a half now with the free time I have in between work and other things I have to do and I'm about pulling my hair out, and losing my mind with all this time I've put into trying to make this work and have gotten no results. If anyone has any idea, I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it.
Alright lets try and get this game running for you. First for the vulcan option, I am guessing that the graphic card in your computer is an Nvidia card. If this is the case then the reason that the option for vulcan is gone is due to a update with the Nvida series cards. I can link you to a video that should fix the update to re-enable the vulcan driver to appear on the option list in RPCS3. If you do that and try the option and still have problems with the game then message me back and I can try to help with other options.
Link to the Nvidia fix: ruclips.net/video/siOLOXbBYGQ/видео.html
Thanks for getting back to me so soon man, I'm really frustrated and appreciate your time.
So I tried the fix from that russian guy in the link you sent, and no luck :(
I triple checked I did everything right, I've been through this type of thing many times and I know the smallest mistake will mess it up, so I'm positive this fix must not be right for me.
In the comments section of that video someone mentioned problems with the Nvidia drivers. So I deleted that edit to the registry from that russian guy, and tried to update Nvidia drivers. My latest driver is from 2015 or '14 (I forget), so I thought maybe this would do the trick. The latest Nvidia driver from 2017 wont install though, I've had this problem since it first dropped, and I thought back then that the Nvidia people would fix this in time, but I was wrong. Won't install through GeForce Experience, and I can't get it manually from the Geforce or the Nvidia website either. Through GeForce Exp. it starts download and stays frozen at 0.00 kb a second. Then through the website it gets all the way to the end of the process and then tells me everything failed to install.
To anyone reading this, avoid Nvidia products. They are incompetent and treat their customers like garbage. I'm due for an upgrade for some of my computer's components (not really in dire need at all, but why not) I can still run new games at max/near max settings, but I would like to purge Nvidia from my life.
I got to go to work now, I work nights 10pm to 7am. Thank you so much though dude, for reading my long ass comments and trying to help. I got a lot of stress in my life right now, and anyone who tries to help me is super appreciated, even with the smallest things. I've had a close friend die last year from a heroin overdose, and my mother actually just died a month ago from liver failure because she was an alcoholic. On top of that I have money problems, relationship problems and just stress everywhere. It's caused me to have a really short fuse with figuring shit like this out, and you taking the time to help me out is really cool of you man.
Atomastos its understandable. Trust me I know how you feel. My last 3 year's or so have been a wild ride of just unfortunate luck but Ive been trying my best to keep striving forward. All i can is say to push through and hope that your experiences get better, because no one needs to have really unfortunate luck in their lives. I'm sorry that I cant really offer to much help in how to fix the problem your having on the emulator. However if I find anything out I will make sure to let you know. Heres hoping this comment can help, even if its just a little!
Thanks man, I do appreciate the sympathy. Kinda random that I brought that up, but I'm just stressed and tend to vent to random people.
Also, I think I am going to either wait for the next RPCS3 version, Get a new non-Nvidia graphics card (mine is 4 and 3/4 years old anyway), or buy a PS3 simply for DeS.
I was pretty hyped when I had seen a few youtubers uploading videos about DeS running smooth now since the latest RPCS3 version, with Dark Souls being a contender for my favorite game ever.
Would be really nice to have it on my PC, being the avid PC gamer I am.
But I'll put this on the shelf for now, and get it figured out eventually. Was going to finally pick up Dark Souls 3 during this summer sale, so it was also going to be perfect timing to dive into the game that started it all.
Thanks for your time and reading my long, rambling comments :)
Also, I noticed the name of the DWORD file you have to put in the folder key you create called "drivers" is "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository
v_dispi.inf_amd64_5601d21ccd639df9
v-vk64.json"
for that Russian guy's fix, and I am running Windows64 bit on this PC, so I tried to change the "System32" part to "System64" but still no luck. Also tried that by creating a QWORD since the name for DWORD is "DWORD32bit" and then there is QWORD next to it called "QWORD64bit" but that dint work either.
Just throwing that out there in case it sparks something, but I suppose I'll give this a rest now. Thanks again for your time. Gave you a sub and like for your helpfulness.
doin god's work
I'm getting major issues when trying to play this, fps jumps between 3-27 and it feels like I'm playing a slideshow nearly all the time. My specs are:
i7 4790K
16gb ddr3 666mhz ram
GTX 1080
Heres what you can do, I had someone with the same problems. In the emulator go into Configuration>GPU and try to change either the Renderer and or the additional settings. Changing some of the settings here can help with some of the FPS jumps. It comes down to figuring out which settings should work best. If nothing changes after trying this let me know I might have a second option that might help better.
Swapping to vulcan and toggling the other settings doesn't seem to have done anything. I think I've been getting better results by changing the renderer to vulcan and preferred spu threads to 1, but I can't really tell for sure. Once I get past a certain point in the tutorial (very early in it) my fps starts shitting itself and it's like a slideshow from that point on.
I can try to list some settings that will help improve this but I have to find the list where I had written this down and right now it will take me a little while before I can check that. Going to be a bit busy today but I will make sure to let you know on that in the next 24 hours at latest. Because I have a AMD card my GPU settings were a little different. however Ive heard that the GTX GPU can have a setting to help with the emulator specifically if you want to look into it now instead of later. Sorry that I cant be much help to later.
So I have tryed to find the old video I watched detailing some settings on GTX cards but I cant find it anymore sadly. Both your CPU and GPU should be fine to run the rom. It could be your ram due to the slower ddr3 but Im now sure if that would cause an issue or not. Unfortunately this emulator doesn't always run well even with a beefy computer. Sorry that I cant offer much help here. If I do fine anything I will let you know.
you probably won't respond to this comment after two years ..
but i tried to download the zip folder and extracted it, after doing this i went to the rpcs3 folder and then to the disc folder, but i didn't find the demon souls blus 30443 folder, it should have downloaded along with the folder files zip?
can I find a link where to download it?
sorry for the bad translation but i used google translator
Nope I still respond to all of these. For the most part when you have the demon souls zip file, extract it to an empty folder and you will get the demon souls blue 30433 file. You just have to move that file to the disc folder. You can check the description box there was a comment I had that might make it easier to follow. If you still have trouble let me know I can help you with it. Probably wont response for a while, am just about to sleep.

Hi, I know its old video but i have a problem. When I go to MEGA site there are only 7 rar files instead of 12.
There's a couple things I can think of.
One could be that mega didn't download all of the files when the rar was completed. If anything double check to see if it needs to resume download or not.
Two when you extract the files there may be more or less. I know I had an issue similar but it's been so long I don't remember what I did to fix it. You can also try using the files you have. It is possible that is all the files and the format changed. Try it out first if it doesn't work or didn't initially let me know. I can take a look at it and see what's up.
Extracted the files to the disc folder, but it says the whole thing is invalid when I load up RPCS3. Can't find any guides on how to fix this, any suggestions?
Trying to confirm some things first. One when you downloaded the file was it called DeS.zip. second open the zip file and confirm that theres 12 rar files inside. If thata the case the right click on the DeS.zip folder and extract to an empty folder. Once done it should look like the file from the video. If this was done and still failed its possible that the zip don't download all the files and you might want to try downloading it again. On the rare chance this wasn't because of the file it could be the way rpcs3 was setup. But let me know if this works first before that.
The game is showing up on the game list I boot it, it looks like it's doing fine but no game window pops up, even though according to the emulator it's running.
Well thats a new one. Cant say I would know the reason on what would be causing that. It's either the emulator taking longer than normal to launch or some sort of error that preventing it from launching. I can try to look at the emulator later today but if I dont response than I dont know what it could be and I'm sorry about that.

I still have the black screen problem even after turning on the white color buffer. Is there any other way to fix this?
2 things to try. One double check to see if you have the setting set on both the emulator and the Rom. If both are checked and its still happening try changing the graphic card setting from opengl to something else and see if that does anything.
for some reason, there are only 7 files on the mega site. Any reason for this?
Another person just had the same experience. For now what I can say is to still try it and see. Could have reduced the files, could be mega not downloading fully, it also could be a change from the extract. For now try it still if it has any issues let me know.
Im already zipping the files from mega but im still conflicted is it safe or not. Is it safe?
mega is a safe site, I've used it many times before.
i use to be able to get in game and experience the glitch. now after the tutorial it instantly goes black when i open the game. help.
FALCON PUNCH
For some reason when i put the des folder into into disc it has nothing in it so rpcs3 says there is no bootable content
Check to make sure that the file is unzipped and that it contained 12rar files. If that didnt work then it may nit have downloaded all the files when you got the file and may need to be redonwloaded.
Hey man I downloaded the rom,but whenever I try to boot up the game,it shows a white screen any soultions
Double check to make sure you selected write color buffers on both the rom and emulator. If that was already the case then try to change the gpu settings to another option and try to launch it again. Theses are usually the two things i recommend to people when the game doesnt launch.
In my emulator he does not want to run, because he does not have the Vulkan, only the OpenGL I already did everything and nothing .... I hope you can help me !!
Vulcan is only used as a gpu setting if have a AMD graphics card. If you have an Nivida setting listed try that one if not OpenGL will work fine for this setup. Just make sure to set it for both the emulator and the rom.

my download stopped at 87% and said to wait 5 hours do i just wait or is there something else i should do?
Just wait the timer out, its long but if you just leave the tab open and come back later it will finish.
ok thank you
for some reason every time I try to download demons souls, it tells me to wait 5 hours.Do you have any other place where you can download the rom
Sadly I do not. The mega link is the only one I knew that worked anymore.

F VM: Access violation reading location 0x0 (unmapped memory) [type=u32]
this is the error that i've got after booting the game it got me stuck on black screen with compiling shaders
cant say I know much on that one. It seems like it had an error rendering data on startup. The only thing I can say is to try changing or adjusting some of the settings in the rom and try relaunching it a few times. Other then that I'm not sure what that error is.
Thanks for the help, luckily i solved the problem by just downloading rpcs3's latest version
Bruh I have to wait 5 hours to continue my download
Hey, i'm have the "Write color buffers" Activated but the is black, i can see the menu, the life bar etc. but i can't see mi character, i don't see nothing literally.
Late reply been busy as of recent. If you still need a fix here's some things to try. First double check and make sure that both the emulator and rom are checked for write color buffers. Second if it still happens try to change you GPU settings to another option again making sure that its toggled on both the emulator and Rom. Usually this fixes the problem but if it persist just let me know
@@jnastudios3079 I'm not to sure as to why that would be the case. I know ive downloaded the file a few times with no types of errors. When you extracted the file did you get 12 rar files. The only thing I could think of is that the GPU doesnt want to fix the issue. I know that for some reason certain gpus dont seem to work well with this problem. Other then that I not fully sure. Sorry if this wasnt much help in the end.
thanks
i keep getting this

On the first post it only looks like part 2 of the rar was added and nothing else. Make sure that you extracted all 12 rar files to one folder and then place that folder in the disc location. If you did extract all the files to one folder and this was from something else try to re extract the files again as it maybe had an error extracting. Let me know if there are still problems.
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 i got it working but it says its running at 30fps but feels less idk if that's normal i went onto reddit and changed some settings but it still feels a bit slow not smooth and in the configure i don't get all the settings that you get some of them aren't there and i got a 1060Ti 16gb ram and a AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with Radeon Vega Graphics 3.50ghz
@@intbronzefeed3824 Good to hear its working, some answers to your questions. First the game is locked to 30 FPS. It can be high with certain mods and settings but was never optimized for that. Second the configure might be different because of the hardware in your computer. I've never tested on Ryzen CPU yet. Third overall the game can be pretty choppy still even after getting it optimized. One thing that might still be happening is that the emulator might be trying to run the game with the CPU integrated graphic, which would be the Vega Graphics. If this is the case then it probably explains the slow performance, To try and change this have rpcs3 open, Right click on the Demon Souls rom>Configure> GPU>Graphic Devices, and if it says Vega Integrated graphics change it to GeForce Nivida Card. Hopefully this helps answer some things. if stuff still doesn't feel right, feel free to message me again.
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 i should be able to run it but it stutters ive seen video of the game on ps3 and it looks way smoother my graphics card and everything is set up just runs terrible feels like 15fps but it says 30 lol could i send a screenshot of my config?

My shaders won’t load properly I need help
When i play the game is always around 15 fps, any fix?
lags way too much any solutions for this? ive switched to vulkan which helped. and i tweeked a few settings and it helped with the compiling shaders stutter but still its running unplayable.
usually thats some of the things I would have said to do but try changing some of the additional settings and if that doesn't help then it may just be the way your computer handles the emulator. Also sorry for a late reply, I've been stuck writing papers and finals.
GameGalaxy Zone glad u replied at all man. appreciate it
After I download the new version of RPCS3 when I entered the game now I got the error black screen I don't know what shall I do
Alright I just went and tryed both the new versions of RPCS3 and the new firmware, reinstalled everything and kept the same settings and I did not run into any problems with the game or black screen. My best answer to give for you would be to make sure that you applied both setting for the emulator and the game itself. If its not fixed from that its possible that the emulator will not apply this setting with your graphic cards which sounds odd but i have seen it happen before.
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 actually I have Windows 10 but it's kind of low even for the emulator but now I'm using RPCS3 v0.0.5 7607 for my PC maybe in the future will be useful I guess
I'm still getting black screen plz help
It's July 25, 2022. Would anyone know if this still works?
Yes, indeed it does still work. If you try it and run into any issues feel free to let me know I can try to offer some help.
cant load naruto ultimate ninja storm...black screen
nice wallpaper
I can't even get to the cutscene it just loads infinitely until it either stops responding or I close it
Make sure to double check your config to make sure its setup right. Also if you could, list your computer specs, altho highly unlikely your computer may not handle ds rom but it does get me a better idea of what could be wrong.
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 AMD FX(tm)-9370 Eight-Core Processor | 8 Threads | 7.90 GiB RAM | AVXx Thats the specs I've triple checked the config and at this point I have no idea whether its a computer issue or a user error. Also, my Rpcs3 version is "v0.0.5-7619-dbd48145 Alpha."
trying to run persona 5, but i still get a black screen... i’ve reinstalled it twice now and it ain’t workin lol
if its just a black screen then on the emulator go into configuration>GPU and under additional settings check mark the box that says "write color buffer" This should fix it.
hi , thank you for the video , but i have the same probleme as this persone with persona 5 and doing what you said still doesnt solve the issue.
Same thing with demon souls. community.amd.com/thread/229579
for me it just says compiling shaders or something and a black screen and won't play
Usually when I respond to these the first thing I'll ask is did you make sure to check the box for both the emulator and the Rom about write color buffers. If you did that and its still happening then I'm not sure what else could be causing it. The only other thing I would say is to try a different video setting like changing opengl to something else. That's about all I can say. This rom is still not optimized well.

My game runs smooth and a solid 60 FPS on 4K except when something breaks in game like if I roll through a barrel or break a vase I get a massive FPS drop does anyone have a solution for this?
Probably just your pc. Lower the resolution
once i get demons souls to show up it runs at 0fps can you help me with that?
me too, it just stays with a black screen and saying "compiling shaders..." infinitely :(
i cant beat the tutorial because when i finally get to the warp thing i go into the loading screen and my game drops to 9fps and it freezes there forever.. i tried looking for fixes everywhere but i cant find it, i even tried a few different versions of the game and i had the same problem with all of them, does anyone know a fix?
try adjusting or changing the settings in the GPU tab on the emulator. Mostly try the check boxes under the additional settings. Make sure you change this for the rom and the emulator. Ive had people do this and it will help run the game a little better.
i just tried that and once i try warping out of the tutorial, the loading screen freezes and is there forever just like before. cant seem to find any fixes tbhh
I've been grappling with this same problem for many days now. I seem to be able to get past the loading screen by choosing the most precise option for every CPU renderer, but that lowers the framerate to an unplayable state. These (E {PPU[0x1000011] Thread (_sys_MixerChStripMain) [0x0154e5a4]} Stat: '_sys_lwmutex_lock' failed with 0x80010005 : CELL_ESRCH [x107960]

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. [Note: I know this video is old, but just on the chance that someone is still trolling the comments, I like to call out to them]
it freezes every few seconds and says compiling shaders in the bottom left corner :(
nomercy8989 check to see if you enabled everything correctly. It will always say compiling shaders so don't worry about that. If somethings still wrong list some of your computer specs to me.
why it wont run, i try run administrator but it just wont work
thx u
I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing
I have the exact settings as you but i still get the black screen i have no idea what the problem is.
Da Gabster If you could tell me what graphic card you are using. Also check to make sure you are changing the setting for the game and not the emulator, changing the emulator will not change the game. You want to make sure that "write color buffer" is on. That's what causes the black screen.
GameGalaxy Zone i have an amd radeon r7 and write color buffers is selected
Nvm i just reinstalled everything and it works now
Funny timing was just about to message you again, sorry for this being late was at a lecture class. Glad to hear that you got it working
I did everything but when i boot the game i get a black screen with the "compiling shaders" text what can i do?
Make sure to check that write color buffers box is checked on both the emulator and the game itself.
@@gamegalaxyzone7763 yes it is D: mmm so strange
Wow thats odd. Not sure what else to say there because that's the only fix I know needed for black screen errors. If I see anything else related I'll let you know.
