ok so say that I do get it to extract properly, what exactly will i need to do to get it to emulate on my computer?

[Zorlon]

open ePSXe click file then run iso.

If you are a first time user of ePSXe you will need to not only to get ePSXe but you also need a bios file and a video plugin that is compatable with your PC hardware.

This ones been annoying me a for a while - last time I had it deleting the .ini file helped; but I'd really like to try and figure out what the heck is causing this.

Everygame runs at 96% speed according to the status bar - it doesn't vary, just stays at that amount. If I turn sound off it goes at hyper speed; so I don't think it's a problem with the speed of the comp.

P4 2ghz
512DDR
Radeon 8500 128mb 4.10 beta drivers (happened in all driver sets I can recall)
SB Live with KX Project drivers

Settings wise, I'll attach my VBA .ini to see if anyone can spot a problem.. doing my bloody head in though, as at 96% speed the games run ok, but the audio is slightly off.

Just tested it again by removing the old .ini, and yep again at defaults it runs 100% all the time. Tried disabling filters/changing renderer, frameskip etc Doesn't seem to affect it.

[Zorlon]

in frameskip untick automatic

I only had a quick test with your ini so if that doesn't help let me know and I will play some more

[Del_Boy]

Just tried that option, doesn't seem to do anything I'm afraid. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I've a feeling I'm going to have to compare the .ini files and just try things 1 by 1 until I find what's causing this.

A little more info I found:

If I set the framelimit to 150% the result is 133% speed
If I set the framelimit to 200% the result is 177% speed

Wierd prob this one

[Zorlon]

Ignore the % you see (hide it if you want)
set throttle to none
skip to 0
auto take that off aswell
try playing now and tell me how well the sound is in sync and how well it seems to be playing

the % display seems a bit off to be honest

[Del_Boy]

I'll give that a try then Just when the .ini is deleted the sound is always great (100% speed) whilst it's at 96% it's annoying.

I'll do all that though, could well make the difference I need.

[Zorlon]

If you want it more defined to one thing the throttle at 100% was putting sound out of sync for me but with no throttle it was fine.

% was hovering back and forth from 100% down to 97% though the frame rate was 60 constant and sound was running fine aswell with throttle at none

[Del_Boy]

It's working now, I think I just needed to restart it earlier when I turned automatic off Thanks for the help, it now syncs at 100% and sounds fine.....

Edit/ Seems that the fix wasn't turning 'automatic off' but actually having BSplayer running in the background (playing a file in overlay mode). Must be a priority issue or something, hehe Whatever it is, it's bizarre as

[vnbharath]

i hav downloaded a psx iso but its not workin....
is there any way to make that boot or work in an emulator?
Is there any software to make/compile psx cds?

[Zorlon]

not working on what and in what way?
I'll get to emulation once I know what your doing.

more detail would have made things easy for others to help.

yeah there are progs that can make/compile psx cds for you, cdgenPS2 tends to do just fine if you know what you are doing that is.

[Soul Beaver]

Yeah hi its me again, I was trying fix the problems with the files I had of xenogears and finally gave up and use the bit torrent thing again and it downloaded successfully. I now have the files:

XENOGEARS.ccd
XENOGEARS.img
XENOGEARS.sub

I got a Bio, video and sound plug-in for ePSXe and it works but really slowly. Can you suggest better plug-ins for the game, options or it may be something else I�m overlooking. Please tell me what�s wrong with it.

okay...
actually i ve downloaded MegamanX6..
buts its givin crc error at 72% when i tried to extract...
some how i managed to extract all files apart from those which are in XA and STR directories using winiso...
I hav rockmanx6 iso..
so what i am tryin to do is,
replace that rockmanx6 files which are in the iso image, with megamanX6 files which i managed to extract from currupted rar archive... so that i can play the english version!
so i want to know which are actually the main game files?
i think the files which are in "XA" and "STR" directories are video and music files...
apart from these there are many files like, ROCK_X6.BIN, ROCK_X6.DAT(48.8mb), SLPM_869.59(516kb), SYSTEM.cnf(60bytes) and ZNULL.DAT(35mb).
can u please tell me the significance of these files?
and also which one is actually make the cd/iso to boot?

cheers..

[polobunny]

ROCK_X6.BIN, ROCK_X6.DAT(48.8mb)
Are probably the main game files, there is no easy way to edit these. They contain all the graphics, sprites, subtitles (which are graphics), etc, anything except videos and sounds (maybe some little sounds are included but anyway)

XA and STR files are audio and video files.

SLPM_869.59 is a file to identify the game, that's needed if you wanna boot.

SYSTEM.cnf is first file that is read, you can open this one and see:
Download Links:
Links are hidden from guests. Please register to be able to view these links. You can easily think that this file says to your playstation to boot from the SLPM_869.59 file.

ZNULL.DAT(35mb) is also in the Resident Evil 1 cdrom, but I don't really know what it does.

Hope it helps. Good luck for your "project".

[Zorlon]

ZNULL.DAT is just a dummy file
