I know how the ISO's are in like...7 different files. I'm not sure how ePSXe works ,but I'm almost sure I can't run all 7 at once or anything to get the game rolling. Just making sure on this.

Its ready download emyrayden 2.2 Here
Here is the situation.
Kryptin is right epsxe is the best ps1 emulator overall
But its gonna take some time to configure and now i am sure that xenogears crashes near the end i just read it.there is a way to bypass this but i am not going into details for that now you dont even download the 1st cd yet
So test Emurayden.
But as i tell you i am not 100& sure that plays Xenogears 100& perfect but they are no other good ps1 emulators.
Ok there is also psxeven & andripsx but they are not very popular.
those files are split compressed files you will need to extract the actual iso file from them using winrar. Once you know the type of iso contained I can tell you what you'll need to burn it.
Hmm.. So basically I have to wait for all these downloads to finish. I'm using Download Accellerator's and they're going as slow as 1KB/s! Wtf!?
yea, we can help you a lot more as soon as you have the game and are able to test and see what works best for you.Quote:

So you can use both emulators so if epsxe crashes convert the save file & load it to emurayden & vice versa.
This all the help i can give you.
If you dont figure out how to use this utility reply here.
Well at this rate, I'll be done in like 2-3 days. This is insane. Why is it downloading so slow?
OKay. I'm downloading the last 2 parts of XENOGEARS DISC ONE ISO's now. However, All downloads ( so far ) except for Part 1 came in .RAR format. I know what the password is, that gets by fine. Thats not the problem. The problem is this:
When I try to run Part 2.rar, it says that a previous ISO must be executed first ( Namely, Part 1.iso ) this doesn't make much sense to me.
Wait. Let me see what it says word for word...
Here it is:
First. Upon hitting Extract, I encounter an option I've never seen before ( Believe me, I've used my WinRAR lots of times ) I'm not sure what to click here.
It says:
The current volume
Xenogears CD1.part02.rar
[Process All files in all volumes from the current]
[Process Selected files only]
[Cancel]
_____
And thats all. In the brackets are the things I can click on. I'm not sure what to click here ( I guess and just click "Process Selected files only" Correct me on this if I should click the other! ).
Upon hitting [Process Selected files only] it then says:
C:\Documents and Settings\blahblahblah(all this stuff, heh)\Temp\Xenogears CD1.part02.rar: You need to start extraction from a previous volume to unpack [PSX] Xenogears (disc 1).
I don't understand what this means. Start extractive of a previous volume? That'd be Part 1, right? Part 1 didn't come in .rar format!!
Theres another thing I just now noticed that it said, Let me read it here too:
At the top in the border, it says "Next volume is required", in the text below it it says:
You need to have the followed volume to continue extraction:
C:\Blahblahblahiasndflkasdnfklsandfknsadflknasdklf (You know!)\Temp\Xenogears CD1.part05.rar
Insert a disk with this volume and press "OK" to try again, or press "Cancel" to break extraction.
I don't understand this in alot of ways.
On one error, it says I need the previous volume ( Which, of course, would be part01, which I have! ) and on another, it says I need part05. Suprise, I have all parts up to 4 ( I'm downloading 5 now, yes. I'm aware. I need all parts to actually play ) This seems obvious, but I want to confirm a few things:
1. Will these errors stop popping up once I have downloaded all parts?
2. How come on one of the errors it says to insert a disk ( As I stated before, if you read it, you'd know ). Is this just a little glitch, and both errors will be whisked away when I've downloaded all parts, or?
Before you go un-raring everything, make sure you have all the parts of disc 1. I'm guessing it's split into 5 parts, from what you said, so wait until you have them all. When you do, just right-click on the first one, select Extract Here, and then let it go. If for some reason part one doesn't work, re-download it. I've had some of these files from YSI corrupted and had to redo a few of them. It shouldn't be that big of a hassle.
Earlier you mentioned you are downloading at 1kb? What kind of connection do you have? Dial Up? If you do, I would not recommend getting into the downloading business because these games take forever.
As for Epsxe, it's the best emulator around, and I've played through most of Xenogears on it. I've made it well into disc 2, and it's never crashed on me. It could be the copy of the game I have, or maybe I'm just lucky. Just remember to save frequently.
The emulator isn't too hard to figure out though - I know it may be a little daunting at first, but just play around with it and you'll get it. Most of it is pretty self explanatory - and just be happy that the guys on here gave you links to the Bios and other stuff - otherwise it can be a pain to find everything on your own.
I do recommend a gamepad though - you can pick up a cheap pad with a USB connector port at Circuit City. They have dual analog controllers there that are about $11 - atleast thats how much mine was. It looks like a piece of shit, but it works extremely well and won't give you any flak.
I'm confused does part 1 name match up to the other files? Try renaming part 1 to match the others if it isn't.
you do need all parts before it will be able to extract. All those parts are pieces of 1 file and need to all be there in order for the iso to be extracted.
Yeah but. Part01 is -NOT- a .rar... When I downloaded it, I didn't need a password or anything ( Probably because I didn't need to unrar it ) it was just in some other format, I'm assuming ISO though I didn't check. I'll look into this later ( Simply. If it's not ISO, I'll re-download ) Also. Xenogears is in 8 parts, all of this I should be done with by sometime tomorrow night
I don't have Dial-up. I'm on a decent 4MB Cable Connection. Though it seems that downloaded these ISO's with a Download Accelerator ( such as DAP - Download Accelerator Plus ) it actually makes the download SLOWER. Downloading them without DAP is going at a decent 10KB/s. I can deal with this, luckily I have such patience.
P.S: Thanks for confirming that I'd need all parts before I can unrar any. I was just figuring to download and unrar as I go. Either way works though.
If you can, let me know what the extension is on part 1. Sometimes they are different, but since all these parts are rared, then it should be the same. Anyway, rename it if you have to, just make sure that you have all the parts for disc 1. If you unrar them separately, it can cause problems. In case you didn't know, basically what is going on is that someone took the 500+ megs of information on the disc and hacked it up into 8 different parts for easy downloading. When you try to unrar them without everything there, it's basically looking for those other parts and it will give you error messages out the wazoo.
You may also want to look into the trading zone area and look up the YSI (you send it) links. It's one of the first two threads in the forum. I think there's a copy of xenogears floating around there, and the YSI downloads are direct and much faster. Atleast when I get stuff from there it's usually around 70kb or more.
As for the DAP stuff, yeah, I hear what you're saying. I hate those damn downloader utilities. I don't use them, and I don't get anything off the direct Emuparadise site. I use the torrent section and mainly the YSI forum. Much easier that way. Look into those next time - results are much better.
can you tell me how part 1 is named?
Heres a link to what Part01 said in Properties:

I'm confused myself on this. It doesn't look like it's ANY extension. When I hover my mouse over the file icon, it says "Type: File" well...interesting. It's a file. What KIND of file? So I don't know. Should I re-download, or just rename to Part01.iso?
P.S: Don't ask why it's in the folder Gunz is in. Forgot to change Save-file-to destination. :wacko:
Interesting, I don't know what to tell you about the file. If that isn't what you partially extracted, then I'm not too sure what to do with it. Don't rename it .iso, that won't help. I would try and redownload part 1, but save it into a different folder just so you can see if there is any immediate difference.
