    Did you add the bios?

    If you haven't, download PSX_Bios_SCPH1001.zip from here:
    http://www.emuparadise.org/biosfiles/bios.html

    Unzip to pSX's bios folder.

    File > Insert CD image > choose the bin/img/iso.

    Is that what you're doing?

    You're not trying to play an mdf file, are you?

    pSX can't play mdf files.
    You'll need to either convert it or mount it to a virtual drive (Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120) and play it by selecting Insert CD Drive.

    IIRC, psx doesn't load cue files. Try loading the ISO or BIN file instead.

    OK, let's start from the beginning.

    You've downloaded all 11 parts to the same folder.
    You've right-clicked on one part, chosen Extract, and gotten both a bin and cue file.

    You've set up pSX with the BIOS, and when you chose Insert CD Image, you then loaded the cue, and nothing happened.

    Right?

    edit--
    pSX loads cue files, Hypnos.

    My guess is that your cue file needs to be edited.
    Open the cue file in NotePad and copy and paste its contents with your next reply, shenjah3000.

    Yeah your right thats wat i did and here is the files you want to see (FILE "Final Fantasy VIII [Disc1of4] [U] [SLUS-00892].bin" BINARY


    REM SESSION 01 ; Not supported by other applications (*)
    TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
    REM MSF: 00:00:00 = LBA: 0

    REM (*) SESSION directives are unfortunately not properly supported
    REM 'out there'. IsoBuster however supports them !) There hope you can figure it out now ^^

    That looks mostly good. Perhaps it's getting messed up by ISObuster's REM stuff? Here, try a cleaned up cue I attached.

    It's easy once you know what you're looking at. If you want to make some cue's for the other discs just copy that cue and change the name of the bin file it's pointing to All the FF discs shouldn't have audio, so they'll have basically the same cue.
