To load a game in Mednafen, simply drag and drop your ROM or CUE file onto mednafen.exe, or if you prefer, you can use the command line. Mednafen requires no special commands, such as the desired system. For example, in Windows, the command would look like C:/Emulators/Mednafen/mednafen.exe C:/Roms/Nintendo/battletoads.nes
To enable analog sticks and rumble on DualShock controllers, open the mednafen-09x.cfg file, search for "psx.input.port1" and change gamepad to DualShock. Do this for port2 if you wish to play multiplayer games with the features of DualShock controllers.

Genuenily thinking my computer simply doesnt run mednafen since its it`s parts are so old and I had to revert back to my onboard GPU since my NVIDIA died. The onboard piece of ancient shit is an Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family. I have a Windows 7 Ultimate 32bits 4Gb of RAM, a Pentium Dual-Core E5400 2.7Ghz A VERSION 0.9.38.5 Mednafen. Trying to run a Final Fantasy 9 ROM. I've literally tried 3 by now. An old one which I made the .cue myself, an european one and an american one. I can run the game that I want pretty ok on ePSXe but I can't help but notice the faults on emulation even on the highest most stable configurations I have, so I've been trying to use Mednafen for days now, every day I try something new but I feel like I've hit a dead end and this might not work on my PC at all since this is a very old very shitty GPU, but I had to know for sure that I'm not doing anything wrong here. I have all the 3 BIOS will all the correct, matching with the originals, MD5 sum, all inside the firmware file at all times. I have the .CUE in perfect state. I make sure the .cue and the .bin are in the same folder as mednafen.exe I drag and drop the .cue (I even tried the .bin) and simply nothing happens at all. My mouse shows a small loading simble for a blink of an eye and nothing.
Seeing as this was happening, I decided to go over to Retroarch, which most people recommended. I downloaded the most recent stable version for Windows 32 bits, which was 1.2.2. Then the Core for mednafen: "mednafen_psx_libretro" which Retroarch itself identifies as V 0.9.36.5 I even tried changing between the three video driver options, GL, D3D and SD12. It all results in an instant crash (retroarch has stopped working). The prompt command screen used to display something, but since I started changing between the video drivers, nothing has been showing up on the prompt commands, just blank. This is specially weird because I KNOW the D3D plugins work perfectly fine on the ePSXe, so I expected it to be the solution for my problems with RetroArch. And YES, the same three BIOS are in the system folder for Retroarch. Is there anything I could do to try and solve this? A new driver to download, something admist this tons and tons of configurations and setting of retroarch that can save me? Or maybe, something else is missing from the Mednafen files that I didn't see in any guide? Or is my computer really shit now and all that I can do is deal with it and sustain the jittering and half-bad 2D backgrounds of FF9 on the ePSXe?
I rebooted the emulator and I'm running into the menu problem again.
I noticed you guys talking about bios, I downloaded them for use with yabuse with unplayable results. How can I use them with mednafen?
Ok so I put tthe bios with the exe, I'm still getting the boot up into the menu. I know you said it could be the rom itself so I tried 3 different bin and cues of the same game and I'm still getting the menu.
I downloaded retroarch, the core, and moved the bios and it works great! I'll take your advice and try to learn about it. Also I always use ds4 windows so I never knew that it supported ps4 controls natively
I had this issue too. If you have a controller plugged in when you drag the game file to the mednafen executable file, it will open the menu for system settings for some reason. I unplugged my controller (ps4, I wasn't using DS4 windows at the moment I did this) and then when I booted up the game it worked. It might not solve the issue, but I hope it worked for me.
Directly from Mednafen, where it worked previously. I just tried it in Retroarch with the Yabause core and it did not work. I downloaded the Beetle_Saturn core but it does not appear in the core folder. There is a mednafen_saturn_libretro.dll in there but that one does not work. Out of the Retroarch ones Yabause is the only one that launches them, but into a black screen.

Beetle and mednafen are the same thing in retroarch, just different name. Do you have the saturn bios files in retroarch system folder? I could never get Yabause to work but the mednafen retroarch core works for me.
Okay the 2 ROM carts aren't that important its the US bios that is missing so you can't play any US or European games without that if you have any Japanese games those should work. You can always try renaming and if you have the correct file it should be fine.
I've been stuck on this for a day now and this is my next system to add to Hyperspin. I don't want to faff about with Magic Engine and Daemon Tools, so Mednafen is obviously the best choice, but I'm not sure what's going on. I stuck the PC Engine bios in both Medgui's main directory and the roms folder, -and- the 'firmware- directory in Mednefen's folder, but loading any of the ISOs rewards me with a black screen. No errors, just black screen. The only thing I can think of I haven't addressed is the actual ISOs I have; the cue sheets do not delineate between wav or mp3 in the file list, so I've no idea what they are and apparently Mednafen won't run mp3. If this is the case, though, then I don't know how to extract/change them to wav since WinRAR does nothing with the ISOs, it simply spits an error about 'no archive or damaged.' Do I need specific ISOs? I could use some help, please.
Ugh. It absolutely refuses to work no matter what I think to try. Got a new copy of Golden Axe CD, this one actually has wav files, Mednafen still thumbs its nose at it. Black screen, nothing more. I am not sure if it's the syscard.pce I have (I quite literally have probably fifteen different versions of the bios both in medgui's directory -and- Turbografx CD Roms folders) or where it's placed or what, but I do not understand what could be keeping this from running. Mednafen itself shouldn't give a toss what the file names are, so I doubt it's that. I haven't tried in Hyperlaunch since I can't even get it working on the emulator itself yet. Does Magic Engine or Ootake work in Hyperspin for Turbo-CD -without- me having to constantly mount and unmount ISOs in Daemon Tools? Is there some kind of auto-mounting script that does this for me for either of those emulators?
Eh, I can't tell if we are on the same page or not. Open up the cue file in notepad for beyond shadowgate. The very top line should point to an iso file. That iso file has to exist with that filename. If they match, you are good from that standpoint. It's not that mednafen needs a certain naming convention, it just loads the iso based on the file name from the first line in the cue file.
OP,here is what you need to do.First name the bios SYSCARD3.pce and create a subfolder in your mednafen directory called firmware and put SYSCARD3.pce in there.Are you trying to launch through HS or are you using a mednafen specific FE?
Did you try disabling Daemon Tools in hyperlaunch or disabling hyperlaunch for that system? If you have proper bin/cue or iso/cue rips that work by dragging and dropping the cue file onto mednafen.exe, they should launch without the need of Daemon. Somewhere on Mednafen's site I believe it mentions that CD drive loading isn't very well implemented, which is probably why you have issues using a virtual drive as a middle man.
Are you pointing Hyperhq and HyperLaunch to Medgui or to Mednafen? If you select mednafen.exe as your emulator executable instead of medgui it should launch directly into the game instead of bringing up Medgui. All your settings from Medgui will still apply also since it modifies Mednafen's settings file.
You were right about my having mistakently directed Hyperlaunch (in either Global or TCD tabs, possibly both) to medgui rather than mednafen, but correcting the issue brings me back to the launch-to-black-screen issue from the beginning. I also still get ahk_sd_class errors, but I have no idea what that error means and I get it sporadically when things go wrong. Hm, apart from the HyperlaunchHQ settings (emulator pointed to mednafen.exe, Daemon Tools set to false in TCD, medgui pointed to the syscard3.pce) what are your personal settings which you know to work? It's more of a curiosity than a need for me at this point, but like I said...I'd rather know than not know. 589ccfa754
