Dino Crisis 1 won't load past Violence Warning screen

[Donopolis]

This seems to be a fairly common issue with this Rom, but I haven't been able to find anyone anywhere with a fix other than trying different builds of ePSX. If this was covered so far, I do apologize, please direct me, and I will go there. Basically, Dino Crisis 1 will load up until the point of the warning this game contains unholy amounts of carnage and gore screen. Then, that's it. It freezes. I have tried several different variations of the Rom, including the one burned from my own disc ( tried that first actually) Everything I have read has lead me to the conclusion that DC is copyrighted and that is the reason I can't rip the file...Only issue I have with that is that DC is the ONLY game I have had an issue with this. Literally out of 40+ games. Little help, and again if there is a solution already present, please guide me there.

Oh BTW I am not running ePSX, although my previous post may have indicated such. I'm running good ole' no plug in needed PSX

Dump the PAL version and get the NTSC version instead

PAL (E) = Copy Protected
NTSC (U) = Not Copy Protected

There is a patch to fix the PAL version but I never got it working with my original (well not on my chipped PAL PSone, either it does not work or there is more than one PAL version of Dino Crisis)

Resident Evil 3 PAL (E) is also Copy Protected, actually alot of PAL games are protected, a smaller amout of NTSC games are also, this does stop them working in emulation aswell as mod chipped consoles

If you realy want a patch to try I shall link some up for you

i looked on a couple of emulator compat lists and it says that there is issues both with the PAL and NTSC-U versions on pSX ofc i could be wrong?

"Dino Crisis 1 won't load past Violence Warning screen"... PAL version will do that with every emulator out there without anticp patching

Thought to look at a couple of campat lists myself

PAL version seems to run best (will need patching still)

Dino Crisis
SLES_022.09 1.7-1.11 YES PAL-D; Use -r option to avoid freezing during FMV sequences
SLES_022.10 1.8 YES PAL-?; Use -r option to avoid freezing during FMV sequences

SLUS version has nasty side effects, so stick to PAL but patch it, also seems NTSC version is also protected (a mistake on my end)

ahhh ok i misread that on my part but yeah what zorlon said you need to patch it for it to work

[Donopolis]

Yeah, I was gonna say that I have the NTCS-U version and still have had issues. Sorry about the Double Post. I was super unhappy about ePSX. LOTS of issues. I'll give your link a shot and see what happens. Thanks for all the input

ePSXe is by far the best playstation emu out there, but can be a major pain sometimes getting the settings just right

On the other end though if your not having problems with psx I don't see why not to use it

Edit: You may need patching software, the linked site has the patchers aswell in the UTILITIES section, linked on the right side of the page

i agree with Zorlon ePSXe has worked perfectly for my i havent had to configure it any differently for any game once its all set up you shouldnt have any problems but i suppose that some people do prefer the simplicity of PSXfin

I just tried patching and apparently it is not compatible with 64 bit OS (???)

I only use ppf-o-matic myself and this worked fine on my 64bit windows 7 machine, not tested the others though
