Issue/problem with Tomb Raider II (E) for ps1/psx

Namely the one you can download direct from emuparadise (as opposed to the one you have to download from a 3rd party file sharing place ....and wait nearly 3 hours to download the file)

Anyway, i have tried it with a couple of emulators epsxe (180 and 190) and also Psx v113 (psfin)

If you select either new game or lara's home the screen just goes pitch black and it does not resume loading the game

I have tried the other version (as mentioned above) as well as making my own iso from an original pal TR2 disk (via clone cd) and using the same settings (video, sound, cdrom and bios) as per the dodgy emuparadise image on both emulators, I was able to load and play the game the game, so I know it isn't the emulator settings it's a dodgy image

Before you ask, yes i did unpack it with an unarchiver and unpacked it again with pakkiso (by dragging the directory over to the pakkiso shortcut on the d/t)

Perhaps someone wouldn't mind uploading the one from the 3rd party filesharing place here (since that image works)

You just don't have a clue, the only dodgy thing about the image is the user failing to use it correctly

Not converted the image to a single bin+cue
Opening the cue file that goes with lots of bin files
Not opening disc image via the cue file in ePSXe or
Not using the default sound plugin with ePSXe to enable CDDA tracks

any of the above will = fail, though at a wild guess it's the first two that are the same issue


http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?57757 ECM + APE convert guide includes the cue sheet
http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=40611 Convert the above out to a single bin+cue

EDIT I have even just tested it and yes it works perfectly fine

Wrong and wrong, you need Pakkiso to convert the unarchived file (since the unarchived file contained a 7zipped ecm file and .ape files)

Since you claim to be a mod here I would have thought you'd have known that

umm what? I don't see how that's wrong the ECM guide has a link to ecm tools which does the same thing? Dunno what you're talking about :shrug:

As for your second line - well all I can say is you haven't got clue one about what you're talking about there. And snipping back at an Administrator is probably not a good idea ;)

I never said you had to use the ECM + APE guide it is linked more for the cue sheet that is needed to convert to a single bin+cue but yes that is the original way to convert ECM & APE files Pakkiso is a second later method that still uses ecm tools and ape codecs compiled into a single program, this doesn't work for everyone, just depends on the users setup though

You are so sure about that but you are just making a fool of yourself you really don't have a clue... and please just grow up. (consider this a final chance)

You might want to actually read posts fully and follow the guides to see what the outcome is yourself, ECM & APE guide also tells you how to run multi bin + cue files with ePSXe if you don't want to convert them to a single bin+cue

I did state I tested it myself as I did and know it to be working so please stop the smart arse act and actually follow the advice first, if you still have problems then please ask without acting up.
