That's just a DOSBox. In your task bar look for the other ePSXe window in your taskbar.(I saw it in there) And keep your emullation related questions in the everything emulation sub-forum.

Isnt this the help forum? And the thing is yes i have it but its see through and when i try and click it it wont go to the screen it stays see through. SO thats the problom im experiencing.

Go to Config > Video > Configure > Copy Settings to clipboard > and paste your video settings to your next reply.

You were running a lot of crap at the same time. See if you can do it when there isn't as many things running, and make sure you have only one emulator on at the time.

Also, go to the video config window and click on the button at the bottom right (copy settings to clipboard, or something like that), then paste the info in here.

Umm it seems to me your running Win Xp, which baffles me as to why ePSXe v1.6 is doign this to you at all...

If by random chance that is Win Vista with the Xp skin then idk either. B/c I have ran ePSXe both in Win XP and Win Vista and never got a window like that. What exactly did you do when you installed the emulator???

Hmm this is weird it all loads and i do the paste thingy. it loads to a full screen and it stays black is it normal?

Im also using the alcohol program made the disc and set up the using the peops cdr drive 1.4 and i laod the rom and it gos to the black page says the bi files good and cdrom open it closes the emulator

Try File > Run ISO > choose the CD Image.

And don't double-post. Use the edit button instead.

[bballa]

Sorry im kinda new to the message board thing. And what do you mean by cd image?

[SegNin]

The ISO.

It's either a .bin, .iso, .img, .nrg, .cdi or .mdf

[bballa]

Its in a zip file and its a bin.

[SegNin]

You can't play zip or rar files with ePSXe.

So, you have to unzip it first.
Then start ePSXe, go to File > Run ISO > choose the .bin > and if you have everything else set right--BIOS, plugins, etc. then the game should start.

Using winrar should i extract the files or do i have to unzip it?

[SegNin]

WinRar can extract alot of archive formats, including .zip, .rar, and .7z

So, if you have WinRar, then use it.

[bballa]

Should i extract the whole folder or the specific bin file?
