Game gets black screens at certain places.

[glennfrogknight]

The game is The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, and at certain points in the game, I just get a black screen. Is this just a bad file?

We need more info. What emulator, and what plugins, along with system specs would be useful.

[glennfrogknight]

Ah, alright. XP Home, 2.20 GHz, 512 RAM, 64 MB NVidia video card. My emu is ePSXe bios is 9002, I use Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.75 for my graphics, ePSXe SPU core for sound.

I've run multiple games on it before, and never had this problem.

[Paul Miller]

Try some of the special game fixes for the video plugin. IIRC there was one for black screens, it fixed the Lunar games, but it may work for this one as well. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I can help more.

[glennfrogknight]

Yes, I had seen that one, but no luck. I made sure that special fixes was checked, though i didn't at first, heh.

Maybe its just a plain emulation error. No fixes or anything. If that is the case, just wait for a new release of ePSXe (whenever that will be ) or do the swap trick with a PSone like I do.

64mb video card....define please Its probably an onboard w/ shared memory ><

[glennfrogknight]

No, actually, my old one was, but I bought a NVidia card. Nothing special, but it's run plenty of games before.

Also, my PS1 met a 'bad' fate....

Bushido Blade and myself don't mix.

Hehe, Bushido Blade is fun except whe your friends wont accept defeat and run in circles ><

[glennfrogknight]

Well, it's the reason my playstation is broken. I don't want to talk about it beyond that.

i know what you mean... i lost a playstation and a gameshark to that game.

try a different bios. my real copy of final fantasy 9 doesnt work on my ps so maybe its your bios, use scph 1001.

FF9 will work if you run it with 1.5.2, it does not work well with 1.6.0 as do a lot of square games.

Use the bios SCPH1001. I would also recommend using Petes OpenGL 1.75 as I have best results with it. Just play with some of the settings.

Bushido Blade is an awesome game. What makes it destroy the PSone!?
