I'm really new to this whole emulator thing, so please excuse me if I say something incorrect.

I had ePSXe 1.7.0 and updated to 1.8.0 recently.
Before I only had Castlevania: SOTN (which is an ISO) which worked perfectly and still does work with 1.8.0.

On the other hand, I recently downloaded one Crash Bandicoot ISO and Final Fantasy VII three 'disc' set ISO which do not seem to load.
I open them and they go to a black screen, like it's about to load, but nothing happens. I thought at first it may just be a bit slow, but I left both games "loading" for over an hour each with no progress.
I have been searching for the last few days to see if I could fix it myself, but I've had no luck.

Have I done something wrong? Are there extra plugins, bios, patches or whatever I need to run these two games?

If it helps, this is where I downloaded 1.8.0, the games on the other hand I think I download from kickasstorrents or something similar. I can find the links if they are necessary.

Thanks in advance for the help.
