i need help badly. I'm new and inexperienced with emulators, I've downloaded a playstation emulator, PSX, and have proceeded to download FFVII off of this website. i download the first disk in its mulitple parts. All of the parts were .rar files except for the first file which was an application. After i downloaded all the files to the first disk of FFVII i double clicked the application file, Final Fantasy.part01, and it began to extract the .rar files. Once extracted there was a new file but this time it was a .MDS file. I tried to open it under Play ISO in the PSX but with no avail. I am clueless as to what to do next. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

I think you need to mount it with deamon tools or Alcohol 120% :nod:

Hey...any of you guys know where can I get the netplay plugin for ePSXe??

http://www.ngemu.com/psx/epsxe.php?action=plugins

There ya go. Go down to misc plugins.

Yup, thats the place to get it.
Cyberpad is good, but I don't know if it will tell you or not, but if you are planning on playing against a m8, make sure you both have the EXACT version of the iso.

As if they are to different versions of the iso, then chances are it wont work, I had this problem when playing it over my lan, which I fixed when I copied the same ISO I had to each computer.

I request NBA Hangtime and Parasite Eve II...please :pepsi:

Don't think this is the right place to request your games.
Try the trading post or the Bittorent request section ;)

I can't create a thread, so i used this Thread.

He has a good point there;)

As for ur requests, DC++ is the best place to d/l psx games
The is a hub called Psxvikings that I goto for all my hard to find psx games.

I know I'll regret this but If anyone needs a thread opened pm me and i'll do it.

lol, well you have asked for trouble there my friend;)

hi, sorry if this is a repeat, i searched through the forum but couldnt find a solution to the problem i am having
in FFIX, i am having great trouble changing discs- everytime i try and change to disc 2, the "please insert correct disc" screen shows. I have donwloaded the bin for ffix disc 1, and have borrowd the game from a friend. they are both PAL versions, i have the PAL patchI

i have tried mounting an image file of the disc using daemon tools, i have tried running an ISO, without mounting it, and obviously the CD itself. none of them work, however, i can load the first CD, but it doesnt rcognise the memcard file. I'd be greatful of any help anyone can give.

here are my specs, if it helps:
ive tried both epsxe v 1.5.2 and 1.6.0
plugins- video - petes OpenGL
- cd - CDR WNT/W2K core

PC
AMD XP2200
512 MB RAM
nVidia Ge-Force 4 MX 64MB

have you tried savestates to get around this (F1 to save, F3 to load, F2 to switch from 1,2,3,4,5 then back to 1)?

Are you using the PPF file?
As ff9 needs the PPF file in order to work, you could use pete's cd-r plugin to use the ppf file or make an iso of the cd with the ppf burned into it.

swopping CD's is easy enough if I remember you get to save before you swop anyway so just boot from CD2

if you havn't patched CD 2 then do so, or if you are running from ISO directly through ePSXe just pop the ppf in the patches folder of ePSXe

to swop in game after mounting another Image to Daemon or Swopping in your CD drive (running an Image directly you swop when you click Change Disc) press ESC then Click file then Change Disc then Run and Continue

I couldn't create a thread (literally, I'd just stay there in the create thread sceen, and pressing the button twice just said I already created the thread, but when I checked it wasn't there.... :S), so I'm using this thread.
I Hope I'm not interruping any delicate conversations by just barging in like this :)



I found this on the web: (ugh, standard sentence...)
http://web.mit.edu/cfields/News/playCD

It says something about being able to run burned disks (backups) without a modchip or swap-trick.
First is the well-know copy protection explained (the 'invalid' EDC/ECC code)
And he says that using a CDBurner that will either:

Quote:

---

# Allow you to write in either disc-at-once or track-at-once mode and not automatically 'correct' what it thinks to be corrupt sectors with invalid EDC/ECC codes.
# Allow you to write the first track in RAW mode (2352 byte sectors, CD-DA) and then force the TOC to report the track as a CD-XA track

---

you can 'copy' the copy-protection, by preventing the CDBurner from automagically 'repairing' the checksum codes and keeping the nice zero's in there ;).
But that would still not let you play imports, as there's another trick there: Country Lock-Out Protection.
But this can be defeated also: (well, not really since I can't find the files he describes, but you could use one of your own CD's and get it from there)

Quote:

---

All that is required to bypass the protection is to read the first track of the game you wish to convert and either skip or strip the first 16 sectors (0 through 15) and then substitute the correct image file in its place

---

searching the web some more (like a 1337-haX0r using g00gle 'n shit :pirate: ) but I could only find this story of 'succes', but it's to 'by chance' to contain any truth really. I think so at least...

So I was wondering if any of you have ever heard of this (working or otherwise), or have any comments as to why this would (not?) work.

I haven't heard this one myself personally, but maybe it works

I have there have been plenty of these around a few years back and none of them worked, there was also a ton of Boot CD's that had claims of being edited in this way to be used on a unchipped PSX with burning instructions and also did not work.

I find it hard to beleive that this one actually works either :/.

Having a closer look I'm 99% sure this will not work from reading through it is bringing back memories of trying either that exact method or something very close, basicly I made a ton of coasters back then.

Hey I'm playing Uncle Fester Quest and I am trying to get to the fifth boss. I'm in the 1st person mode where it's green and grey. Everytime I come to a door it's the door I used to get in! If someone can help me that would be great. I went to gamefaqs.com and looked at the walkthrough but it didn't help me.....

hmm upload a save state I'll see if I can't figure that bit out, also let me know what emu you are using and the rom version if you know

Sorry to barge in but I need some help with my PSX ISOs.

Ok, I�m using ePSXe and I can play games on it, in fact I have finished one (ah the advancements of emulation). Anyway back to the point, I can play games that have files like: .ccd, .img, .sub. However I�m having major problems with games that I download and they come in an archive which contains varies part of the game (like 7 winRAR files and an .exe file). Namely Chrono Cross and Xenogears (from this site). I downloaded them from the bit torrent tracker and when I try to unzip all the files they all come out perfectly. Then my VET comes up immediately and says that it has detected a virius at location C: \.......\Xenogears CD1.part01.exe or C: \......\cc.part01.exe, and says they are Trojan horse programs and immediately deletes them. Thus I cannot play the game.

Can someone please help me get past this so I can play my game. And either why there are Trojans on the files or why my computers picking them up like that.

don't run the exe open them with winRAR with a right click and extract from Winrar instead, or right click and click extract as that also uses winrar rather than selfextracting

or turn the virus scanner off while you run the exe's they are not viruses but self extracting achives are detected that way :/

Well I received Toukon Retsuden 2 for Playstaytion from my friend.He forgot to tell me that it only works for PSEmuPro.Well before he told me that I tried it and it plays but my controls don't work.I tryed it on other emulators and its the same.Then when I finally install EmuPro is says this will not run on ur computer.It says that about 3 times and then when I try to configure it the emulator freezes.Can anyone help me with my problem or at least recommend something.I reinstalled it about 6 times and still the same thing.

What versions of ePSXe have you tried? PSEmuPro was the first PlayStation emulator to play commercial games, but it has LONG been dead. I would try ePSXe 1.6. If it doesn't work on that you can always try CVS.

I'va tried 1.6 and it doesn't work
I'll try CVS.

I know it seems odd to say but maybe fiddling with you're controls may help? someone else had a problem with freezing in a game and he fixed it by putting a joypad in and configuring that, rather then the keyboard I;m not sure why it solved the problem but it may help.

Well I can't download CVS from here because when I open it, it says unexpected end of archive and will not extract so no chance in trying that.

try this site for emulators

http://ngemu.com/psx/

I tried some of the stuff there ,but the demo for VGS doesn't work for me

this might have something

http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/psx/

also this has a load of links contributed by ep members but you might have to do a bit of shifting through

http://www.emuparadise.org/vbulletin...ad.php?t=25120

and i just read over your problem again and in some cases ePSXe 1.5.2 works better then 1.6.0

ok I might try 1.5 then

Thanks to you I made Toukon Retsuden 3 less choppy and I made the graphics great.I tried the older version of epsxe on Toukon 2 but it still didn't work.

I would personally try using a few different graphics plugins as well that might help the problem.

I'd recommend these

P.E.Op.S. Soft Driver 1.16
Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.75, Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.75 or Pete's D3D Driver 1.75 depending what works best for you (opengl, D3D or DX6)
Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.6

Hi,
I recently got Kisetsu o Dakishimete from the tracker, and am experiencing problems with the sound. The problems are:

The voices (XA sound) are cut up into little snippets and overlapping (i.e. playing at the same time).

As i dont understand Japanese, i cant tell if the voices are garbled (i.e. like a puzzle with the pieces mixed up) or broken up (i.e. there is a continous sentence, but its stuttering). However, im not quite sure what the notion of continuity actually means, when there are separate sounds playing over each other, maybe two or more continuous sentences played at the same time?

I am emulating the game using ePSXe v1.6, and have tested some SPU plugins:
ePSXe SPU core plugin: this produces the effects mentioned above,
Eternal v1.41, PeOpS DSound v1.08, Pete DSound v1.15: same or worse; timer and thread modes both slow down the framerate to about 3/s, SPUasync causes the voices to be super distorted.

I havent tried using ePSXe v1.502 (is that right?) yet, cause i never got it.

Im interested if anyone can get back to me, whether they have emulated this game successfully, and in that case what their specs were, GPU and SPU (maybe the graphics plugin has something do to with my problem, i am using the new PeOpS Soft).

In particular, maybe Ragnar would be of some help to me here.

Thank you all,
Take it easy.

My Specs:
Pentium 4 - M @ 1.80 GHz
512 RAM
Radeon 7500

Well yes. I'd agree with the ePSXe 1.5.2 option seeing as a number of plug-ins aren't working for you, also, I'll have a look into this but i think there are some fixes that "wait for cpu action" that might help the sound get into sync.

I've been wanting to play a few of my PS2 games online again, but I have a few questions. Before, I used to have to move my PS2 downstairs and hook it up to my router to be able to play. This unfortunately didn't work too well because I had to use the family TV and they are huge nags. (OMG Louis is playing a video game downstairs!! blah,blah). I want to know if it is possible to plug my PS2 into my PC upstairs to play the game? It is on our wireless network, and I heard this is possible. Is there anyway I can do this?

why is it that some n64 roms have .exe endings? usually the most popular, wanted names? ex. pokemon stadium, golden eye...

Is this just a lame attempt to send a virus or is there a reason for this?
:\

w00t

I'm new to this whole emulator stuff (which is FREAKIN AWESOME!!! by the way...) and i just downloaded project 64 along with Perfect Dark 64. It works perfectly and the graphics are awesome etc. etc. but i have ONE problem. Being a first person shooter, there is an essential need for complete accuracy when using the controls. However, when using the keyboard, it is very difficult to pinpoint targets using the gun; you either go too much or too little. Is there a way to configure the controls in order to use the mouse as well? This may be a noob question, or not, but then again, i am a noob to this. It's just been very annoying trying to play this game without the accuracies of the mouse. Would greatly appreciate any replies so i can get on with life by playing perfect dark. if you can email the information to my email address: [email protected] i'll appreciate that as well.

I'm not too sure about this but I'll make up another thread in computer tech for you.

These are most likely self extracting files, but a virus scan would be recommended if you're not sure.

I don't think there's anything out that can "combine" mouse and controller, i think that NRage_DInput8_V2.dll is your best bet.

wats NRage_DInput8_V2.dll ?
