Weird Rainbow Screen?

[Link00452]

I have tried multiple versions of the PPSSPP emulator and multiple games on it and when I load the game up I get this:



Any idea what the problem is?

Hello Link00452, and welcome to the forums.

As is customary for issue resolution, please provide us with the following details:-

1. Most importantly, your system information (Launch PPSSPP --> Settings --> System --> Developer Tools --> System Information)

2. PPSSPP versions you've used.

3. The games you've tried. (I see Yu-gi-oh GX Tag Force 2 in the screenshot, any others you've tried will also be very helpful)

Thanks for your time.

What happens is it starts as that weird rainbow screen, and then the beginning cutscene rolls without problem, then on the title screen it goes back to that rainbow screen.

Thanks for your response.

From the data you've presented, the most likely culprit would be your ATI drivers which are severely outdated, having been released in July 2009.

Update to these 11.11a drivers and try again, I'm pretty sure that's all you need to get PPSSPP up and running properly on your otherwise very capable system:-

I can vouch for the efficacy of those drivers personally, having used them myself without issues on my own ATI card for PPSSPP.

Ideally, this should be the end result after the driver upgrade:-

The solution that worked for Link00452 is updating his graphics drivers.
Maybe try that!
