Twisted Metal 1 + 2 problems

[MitchellTF]

Okay, I downloaded Twisted Metal 1 and 2 using romulation.net , and am having some problems.

At the end of Twisted Metal 2 battles, and when I pause, there is no 'pause' screen, and I'm wondering if the game is meant to simply stop, or there is an invisible menu. I tried fiddling with settings, but didn't do much. (I'm on default 'fast' settings, using EPSXE160, or I think 1.60)

As for Twisted Metal 1, it simply stops whenever I select a car, and there is no options. I let it 'sit' for a minute, and the game simply restarted. I think the rom was bad, or maybe it's EPSXE settings or something...I don't know.

Any advice? I'm running Windows XP, can't remember much else.

I think for Twisted Metal you need to increase off screen drawing to 3, but I dunno. I'm not the emulation expert 'round these parts.

Nobody knows what this means?

Well, if you think that the rom you have is bad, try downloading it from somewhere else (I won't suggest any sites, because I don't know where you got your copy from).

You could also try a different emulator like psxfin, which you can get here:

I'm currently searching around for answers to your other problems, so, assuming a mod, supermod, or admin doesn't close this thread before I'm done, I'll post what I find (if anything).

edit: Well, from what I just read here: http://forums.ngemu.com/epsxe-archiv...metal-1-a.html Twisted Metal should work with enhanced offscreen drawing (which is usually 3), so you may have a bad rom after all.

I also found this: http://forums.ngemu.com/epsxe-archiv...2-problem.html which suggests using a different emulator for Twisted Metal 2... Hope it helps.

I'm pretty sure it's not a bad rom, so I will try it with a diferent emulator.
