ePSXe Black Screen with NTSC game

[shaisheep]

Hello

This is my first post on this forum; I've been reading posts for a few months and have learned a lot, thanks to all of you!

I'm having no luck running MLB 2005 on epsxe 1.7.0. I have an NTSC-U copy thats in a .CUE 1k file and a .BIN thats 300(ish)mb. When I go to File>Run ISO and select the BIN file i get a black screen. I also get a black screen when i select the CUE file. I tried mounting the CUE file in Dameon Tools Lite and running the CD-Rom but I got a black screen that way too.

I also couldnt get an NTSC copy of Final Fantasy IX to run, but when i tried a PAL version and got the patches I was able to play the game all the way through with no problems. I've been running everything off a flash drive, would that effect anything? Everything worked fine for the pal FFIX files.

I also tried it on ePSXe 1.5.2; when i did i got the following message:

running epsxe emulator 1.5.2
Memory handlers init.
epsxe: PSX BIOS loaded [bios\Scph1001.bin].
Init ISO code ... ok
NTSC Cdrom detected
Doing init gpu[0]...
Gpu open [0]...
Direct input init ok.
doing spu init...
Spu open...

when i tried it on pSX113, i got a long list of messages all saying "cuebin out of range" followed by numbers

Here are my specs and plugins

windows 7 (64bit)
4gb RAM, DDR-III
Intel core i5 processor 2.26 Ghz

bios: SCPH1001
Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.77
Eternal SPU Plugin 1.41
ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.7.0



What do I need to do? Do i need to something to the CUE/BIN files? Thanks in advance for all the help!!

MLB 2005 ???? no idea what game you are talking about

Never mind it's a baseball game of sorts also released on PS2, is this the PSX version or could it be the PS2 version?

Never mind again the PS2 version is a DVD game aka would not be in cue+bin format

You can check the cue+bin with CD-Mage though to make sure it's ok

when i open the .CUE file in CDmage, i get the the message:

Data track has errors in the file system, its contents may be displayed incorrectly. Continue parsing? Yes/No

when i click yes, it continues fine and the scan says it has no errors

is it the way im loading the files, whats the proper way to load .BIN/.CUE files in ePSXe 1.7.0?

i got it to work! i downloaded the Bennieboi20's ePSXe Starter Pack and configured the plugins as was suggested in screenshots that were posted, played the .CUE file and it worked.


Thanks for the help!

glad my starter pack helped for you

[shaisheep]

you've made it very simple, thanks!

this leads me to believe that i was having a plugin issue, would you agree?

Sounds like the cue sheet was either messed up or the entire CD image has some issues

I am a little supprised you got it working at all though I'm guessing there are just issues with the cue sheet that both CD-Mage and Daemon Tools uses... though you might find sound issues aswell if the game uses cdda tracks
