![]() It came with everything and worked the first time at least without anything extra, so I didn't see why I would want to mess with the plugins unless it was recommended to fix the situation, which I'm guessing from your suggestion was a good idea. I also have installed literally no plugins to PCSX Reloaded. (I'm not certain why I have it, actually.) I'll check my netbook tomorrow, but for now my desktop refuses to give any clues. ![]() And I did click the "Debug" button, but it brought me to "Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger" with a "Possible Debuggers" selection menu that only has one option that leads me to a program that I believe is meant for programmers, not a general user like me. Nothing else to possibly hint at what the cause is. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Playstation Emulator based on PCSX-df has stopped workingĪ problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Unfortunately the error messages aren't very helpful. I'll take your word for it on ePSXe likely having the same problem, as I assumed that because they weren't the same program it couldn't be for the same reason. If nobody here can help, then say so please. I know I have no right to force anything on a free program with no warranty, but I am going to have to insist that I at least get a response reasonably soon as the forum topics I saw in my lengthy and patient search don't even have a reply to them, and due to that my patience is running thin. These may or may not be the same problem, as the netbook managed to run a game one more time ater a series of driver updates, while trying the same trick on the desktop did nothing.

This is supposed to be the best PlayStation emulator, and it doesn't even work. Other people have apparently had the exact same problems as me, but in every case the topics and bug reports they posted to get help were never even acknowledged! I have yet to attempt my brother's laptop, but I bet it won't work there anymore either. I try my netbook again in frustration, and surprise surprise it doesn't work. Then I tried to get it working on my Desktop. It also didn't work with my netbook at first, but then just today I tried it after it worked on my brother's laptop and after an update to the video driver it worked on the netbook too. The emulator will play a game the first time it is opened, and recently worked multiple times on my brother's laptop when I tried it there the first time. I can give the specs to each one upon request, but I'd rather not post the specifications to multiple computers all at once. My laptop (a netbook), my brother's laptop, and my desktop.

How To Fill In a PDF Form on Windows and Mac for Free Some of the most worrisome conclusions come from a number of major studies on the relationship between noise and stroke risk. The association between hypertension and aircraft noise specifically has been studied fairly extensively – notably in a large-scale piece of research entitled “ Hypertension and Exposure to Noise near Airports (HYENA),” drawing on data from almost 5,000 participants, which concluded that a 10 dB(A) increase in nighttime aircraft noise is associated with 14% higher odds of prevalent hypertension. A similar meta-analysis, published the previous year, looking at 14 studies of the relationship between traffic noise exposure and coronary heart disease, arrived at an estimate of 8% per 10 dB(A) increase in noise exposure.Ī 2012 meta-analysis by researchers in Germany and the Netherlands found a 3.4% higher probability of hypertension per 5 dB increase in road traffic noise – a finding corroborated by several other studies. A 2015 meta-analysis of studies of ischemic heart disease and noise from aircraft and road traffic found a 6% increase in risk per 10 dB(A) increase in noise exposure. A 2013 UK study concluded that daytime noise levels of 55 dB(A) and above could account for an additional 542 cases of hypertension-related heart attacks, 788 instances of stroke (see below), and 1,169 cases of dementia in the United Kingdom.Ī number of studies have likewise established a link between traffic noise exposure and ischemic heart disease. A report from European research consultancy CE Delft estimated that noise from rail and road traffic could be responsible for up to 50,000 heart attack deaths and 245,000 cases of ischemic heart disease every year across Europe. Perhaps more surprising is the extent of the impacts of noise on our physical health, which has also been the subject of a great deal of recent research – in particular regarding the relationship between noise exposure and cardiometabolic and cardiovascular diseases. A separate meta-analysis, published in 2019, found that the risk for depression increased by 15% per 10 dB for aircraft noise and 4% per 10 dB for road traffic noise. ![]() A 2020 meta-analysis of studies exploring the link between transportation noise and anxiety similarly found 9% higher odds of anxiety per 10 dB(A) increase in noise level, further noting that the more severe the anxiety, the more significant the association. Those who reported the highest levels of noise annoyance were more than twice as likely to experience those two conditions than those reporting the least. Research has shown, for example, that sustained exposure to high levels of noise leads to mental health problems of various kinds: a 2016 study of people living close to Frankfurt Airport found that noise is “strongly associated” with depression and anxiety, for instance. The harms caused by noise, however, go way beyond that. But even noise as low as 35 decibels is enough to cause other issues, like sleep disturbance and disruptions to concentration. Environmental Protection Agency, 70 dB(A) – roughly equivalent to standing next to a washing machine – is the maximum noise level you should be exposed to over the course of a normal day to prevent hearing loss over the long term. For context, according to the World Health Organization and the U.S. Live within 50 feet of a highway and you’ll typically be exposed to between 70 and 80 dB(A), according to the Federal Highway Administration. A 2015 study in New York, for example, found an average street noise level of 73.4 dB(A), with levels reaching as high as 95 dB(A) in some places. city is around 60 “A-weighted decibels” (dB(A)), though there’s substantial variation from city to city.

But does this mean that people like me should just get over ourselves and accept that the high levels of environmental noise we have to contend with as part and parcel of an urban existence are simply an inevitable fact of life? ![]() I’m easily annoyed – and I’ll admit that generally speaking I have no right to demand not to be. |
