Silent Hill Origins
Silent Hill Shattered Memories
Resident Evil Outbreak File #2

I have windows 8.1
latest version of Direct x (since I've been updating them frequently on multiple games)
1 terabyte laptop
A6 graphics card

In both Silent Hills, the dark rooms are literally dark rooms, the only way I can see is if I use my flashlight which gives me a perfect circle shape light with a cylinder behind it.

Both games appear to have missing contents like invisible beds in Origins while everything in Shattered Memories is incredibly invisible to even his head sometimes.

Resident evil works great, smooth game play and the audio isn't ahead of the video (which happens to me on most games) but there's sometimes a black screen the flashes the game when I'm playing a level. It doesn't have affect when I open up the menu though, just when I'm playing the game.

in all of the games there appears to be missing audio too.

please help?

sorry if these questions have already been answered, I honestly did not know how to search up the problem through google.

version 1.2.1 latest (according to what I know lol)

and my GSD settings
AFAIK, all the cases you mentioned can be solved by using software mode.
Since your lapptop is probably on the weak side, trying gsdx 2.0 may be a good idea, though : http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-GSdx-2-0
Your custom resolution could be causing problems, if you want to keep it low, use "Native" rather than a tiny resolution.

Also if your graphics card supports DX11, I'd suggest you change to that.
I honestly don't know how to do that ._. I changed the GS settings to the one you told me to check out and switched to software but it makes it slower with the flashing blackness, I can hear the missing audio though
if it's still flashing black you've broken something else. Can you show us each of the screens from under Config->Emulation Settings, theres a little camera in the bottom left of each screen to help you take pictures.

also if you could run the game, close it and then upload your emulog.txt from the logs folder too, that could be handy.
ROFL I did not know there was a screenshot button.
Well we only have it for like five years now... One can easily miss that.
