    <h2><a name="troubleshooting" id="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</a></h2>
    <p>
      If you experience slow performance with Nestopia, here are a couple of
      things you can try to speed it up:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>Lower the screen resolution and/or pixel bit-depth (video dialog).</li>
      <li>Disable video filtering effects (video dialog).</li>
      <li>Change the NES screen memory location (video dialog)</li>
      <li>Enable triple-buffering (timing dialog).</li>
      <li>Enable auto-frame-skipping (timing dialog).</li>
      <li>Disable vsync (timing dialog).</li>
      <li>Disable the rewinder (timing dialog).</li>
      <li>Change the application priority to "above normal" or "high" (preferences dialog).</li>
      <li>Lower the sound frequency and/or sample bit-depth or disable sound output completely (sound dialog).</li>
      <li>If your video driver has an option for vsync, make sure it's set to be application-controlled.</li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      If you have trouble running a particular game, possible reasons could be:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>It's a bad dump.</li>
      <li>The image comes with incorrect or insufficient emulation information.</li>
      <li>Does it work on the actual hardware? If not, it's not supposed to work on Nestopia either.</li>
      <li>It has been hacked solely for the purpose of making it run on another emulator.</li>
      <li>Wrong region setting, try switching to/from PAL.</li>
      <li>Proper controller(s) connected? For instance, it could be a keyboard-only program or a game that only responds to the secondary controller.</li>
      <li>Is the 'no sprite limit' option enabled? Try disabling it, some games might depend on this hardware limitation.</li>
      <li>The database may have an error in it. Try turning it off temporarily.</li>
      <li>It's unsupported by Nestopia.</li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      Misc:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>If the gridlines are not drawn properly in the launcher dialog, follow <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;813791">this link</a>.</li>
