Lunar SSSC problem

I'm pretty sure this problem hasn't been addressed before, as I ran a search and didn't see anything...

This is my first time ever playing Lunar, and I'm at what I think is the end of the first CD where the gang is flying from myght castle. There is a cutscene where it shows a tower an Nall is talking, and Alex says something about Ghaleon bieng in there too.

After that the screen fades to black..... and espxe freezes.
I've tried save states right before this and loading from there, but the same thing happens...

I've had no trouble before this, what could the cause be?

Thanks for your time.

Try another emulator :D
Are you playing it with an Iso or straight from the game disc?

From an iso.

Save states will go from one emulator straight to the other?
I'll try that then.

Thanks!

Try using something like Pete's OpenGL Driver plugin, at the bottom it has special game fixes, check the box that says to fix the black screens in Lunar and then click ok. I can't remember if there's other Pete plugins (There are, I'm pretty sure) and if they all have those special fixes, but you get the idea.

I already had that clicked due to my screens turning black. I've fiddled endlessly with several plugins and options to no avail.
I'll just take Chaos's advice and try another emu.

Thanks guys.

Another suggestion might be to try using that fix in ePSXe 1.5.2 if you're using 1.6.0 and vice versa :P.

Unless the advice has already helped I have a horrible thought that you may have a damaged CD Image

I have put up a guide to atempt to fix CD Image errors though in the CD Image - Repair Guide thread

alternativly if it that doesn't help either you can upload a savestate and memcard save zipped up together at You Send it and link it here then I can download it and check it out myself and either check for a fix or send a save state back that is past your sticking point.

P.S. Use your own e-Mail as the Recipient's Email Address.

Gah. That program tells me I have 150 corrupt sectors. Tried both ways as the guide said, and its a no go.

Thats a save state just one moment before the scene fades out and I freeze
the save is from a little bit before that, when you have to talk to everyone and then board the airship.

Thanks a huge lot for the help Zorlon

OK it is actully the swop point but I can't find CD2 at the very second I will keep looking for it though but try swopping CD's at the black screen, if it's still froze I'll up a save on CD2 for ya, the first point I can.

I'm using a diff emu aswell. Conettix Virtual Game Station is the full name, CVGS for short

oh man, that was it. Just had to switch CD's.
I didn't even think of trying that, wasn't sure if it was time for the next disc yet.

Once again, thanks Zorlon (and everyone else)

What kind of write method do i use for burning playstation games in mds/mdf format? I know u need to use RAW DAO with dreamcast but not sure about PSX. thanks

the same method.

How do i buy a ps2 game put it ohn my comp and emulate it i've heard ther's special ways to get it on the comput succesfuly...

How do i do this?

If you are trying to play a PS2 disk with an emulator it isn't possible right now. The best emulator has a lot more to emulate and is EXTREMElY slow.

i'm not trying to play a ps2 disk with an emulator i am gona put it on my comp then try it


and how does xbox work with emulation yet?

Hello i have a psx alcohol image and my burner doesnt support RAW DAO. Are there any other write methods i can use that will work the same on my modded psx as RAW DAO. btw cue and bin files work perfectly with nero. Thx

You could mount it with Alcohol and copy cd to cd through Nero, though there maybe errors in the Alcohol CD Image.

Acording to polobunny's guide he says Dao Sao mode works beter in Alcohol for PSX CD images.

Hey. It's me again. :( I'm having a problem with Chankast.

First off, I've been searching until my eyes bled. So, I already have the bios files for the emulator and the Echelon fix for Sonic Adventure 2. Apparently I have the EU bios because it's a blue DC logo (I got them from this site) and there's a US/JP version that has a red logo... But anyway... I read the guides too. ^_^

My problem is that Chankast will not load the .cdi files. I start up Chankast and it asks me for the date/time (every freakin time... another problem I need to fix too). Menu comes up and I mount a .cdi image in Daemon Tools. Chankast says it's reading the disc... Nothing happens. I press play, it goes black and resets.

I tried mounting it to Alcohol 120 and I get the same problem.

I haven't found a solution so far so I'm here. *waves*

firstly your post wasn't missed I just didn't want to spend to much time on here today but I'll give you a couple of hints anyway

The date thing just take off read only on your bios files so they can be updated, just select all the files in your chankast folder and make sure nothing is read only.

Some games just don't seem to work on virtual drives just try burning it.

I have Win2k myself and some games do that with me from the virtual drives but are ok through my actual CD drive using the ASPI CD driver

If someone else wants to continue support they will but please don't bump your posts again, I will get back to you in time if you are still having problems.

My apologies. I thought the post would get lost in the thread. Won't happen again.

I have Windows XP btw.

I turned off read only from the files and it still asks me for a date/time at start up.

I burn the .cdi's but they still do not load. Using the ASPI driver, I get an error "can't read TOC from (whatever): drive." That happens with both real and virtual drives. I'll try to find another driver for it.

I always get the stupid errors... Even when I do everything right it just doesn't want to work. :(

any one game or all games?

Chankast doesn't have a great compat to start with although tends to have full speed on what it does run.

Also do you have the required version of winASPI installed as recomended by the chankasts official guide on it's own forum?

And yeah are your cdi's self boot.

Out of that I would say you need to look at the WinASPI drivers

the CD xxx plugin only works with a very small amount of games to what the aspi one does

Well I only have 2 games: Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Sonic Adventure 2. I've asked and others that have downloaded the same files and they said they work on Chankast.

I fould the ASPI file in the forum when I read it again. So now I can use the driver.

Both of my cdi's are selfboot. When I mount the drive or insert the disc, it'll check the file and Chankast will do nothing. Windows will either ask me what to do with the file or open something itself. Chankast just refuses to load anything with both the xxx or ASPI driver.

The forum also said that if it asks for the date/time, to make the files not read only. That didn't help though.

Seems like I need to do more searching...

Hey I need SCPH39001.BIN does anyone knwo were i can get it?

http://bioshouse.free.fr/

PS2 emulation is not worth looking at yet at all

aren't ps2 bios supposed to be 4 megs?

nope thats the correct size and a correct bios dump, there may have been others that were dumped a diff way though I spose, it wouldn't be the first time.

Hey i ha FFX but there's 4 zips and in them are .gi and the readme sys to unzip them all then run the batch file but the problem is there all labeleed the same thign nd i need them all in the same fodler... what do i do will renaming them screw the bartch file up?

If you using Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.75, Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.75 or Pete's D3D Driver 1.75 go on to config > video > configure, tick the special game fixes box and tick the ff 7 fix at the top

You could make a thread in the trading post saying what type of games you like and people might give you a few suggestions.

Hmm try Pete's soft driver 1.4 as video plugin. That's the one I've been using to play FF 7, and it worked perfectly

i tried pete's soft driver 1.54 and it started something up (i dindt' adjust it so the whole game was going VERY fast) and then it turned black and made fnuny noises...
