Im new to playing PSP and PSX Emulators. I downloaded JPCSP last night for my Mac and a couple of ROMS, but I can't get them to work on the Jpcsp. I downloaded FF Crisis Core and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. After downloading, both come as RAR files. I use unarchiver to unzip them, but they have 20 files of more zipped files. Am I missing something here?
I have tried everything I know, and can't get them to run. Also need help with how to load games onto JPCSP.
thanks in advance!

just scroll down a tad they do have a Mac version.
i just downloaded ez7z, but won't allow me to unzip the files. Additional suggestions?
the first file is a .nfo
second is .r00
then it goes from 01 to .r52
then is a .rar file and a .sfv file
Oh sorry do the first numbered one.Quote:

Huh that's poopy. A very rare while 7zip won't work with rars depending on compression settings I think. Try getting winrar itself for Mac. Found a link hereQuote:

In that particular split archive, the .rar file is the file you extract from (it is the first file).Quote:

The .sfv file is used to check for corrupt parts (used with QuickSFV ).
Also: please don't double post.
Edit: thread moved.
Tried it with both 7zip, stuffit expander, and anchiver. Also tried doing it to both Crisis Core and Beyond Birth. I think that I must be either missing something, or doing the steps out of order, as it isn't working on both ROMS. I downloaded them directly from emu paradise. When I download the files, they are RAR files approx 1.2 GB each.
Im using stuffit expander to expand the RAR file into a new folder, which results in approx. 100 files that the majority are RAR files, an .nfo file (is the first file in the list and says its and exec file), and a .sfx file (also says its a exec file).
What is the next step I need to take to get it to a file that can be played with JPCSP?
Thanks in advance!
Can you post a screenshot possibly with the file extensions showing? I don't know why it's not working. Did you try the Mac version of winrar?Quote:

The .nfo file is just information about the release (probably scene release I guess).
I have used DAMN NFO Viewer to read those...but you probably don't need to look at it.
Did you read my previous post?

the .rar file maybe the first compression if he chose to extract within the same folder :shrug:Quote:

It won't let me put in the screen shot. says to refresh and login again.
So i will go through that other steps that I am taking:
I I select the first RAR file, and decompress it, it get the filename with an .iso extension that is about an archive type file

Indeed. Some form of linux would probably be less of a headache :wacko:
Use the "Go Advanced" option for making a post and add it as an attachment.Quote:

ok. what steps do i need to do to load it and play it?
That is the image of the game. You just have .iso files associated with your archive prog (file associations) :booger:Quote:

ok. I got Crisis Core to load, but all it shows is a snowy screen. No video
at the bottom in paranthesis it says this is a faked mpeg video.
Yeah that's a common problem just go to Options -> Configuration and tick the Use Media Engine option under the Media tab.Quote:

when I don't have it checked, i get the square enix white screen, and then it goes to static.
with it checked, i don't get any screen graphic, just black.
Here is a screen shot of the first page of settings:Attachment 38256
Attachment 38257 second page
last page Attachment 38258
the other pages have nothing checked on them
Try ticking only use GE graphics under video.
And pleeeease use the edit post button in the bottom right. We're kind of anal about that :wacko:
Edit: Also I haven't been able to find it on any compatibility list so far so it may not even be fully playable yet..
