Black Screen of Doom

[Ariaena]

Okay! I discovered ePSXe and this wonderful site that help me relive games which I thought I'd never get to play again. However, I ran into several problems.
Digimon World 2 worked fine until I finished the second mission - namely, defeat Kokatorimon/Numemon. After I reached the city, black screen.
Okay, nevermind. I'll just restart. Then I found out I couldn't even access the start screen anymore - black screen. Completely black.

I downloaded Digimon World 3 as well, but it was the same - black screen.

i need ur haaaalppp

I'm absolutely awful at this, so I need clear baby steps instructions, I'm sorry Q_Q
Also, can anyone tell me what to do with the Final Fantasy VII/VIII/XI where you have discs? Also, what do you do with games that have multiple parts to download? Thank you!

I'm afraid the link is not working. It keeps displaying - Firefox can't find the server at psxdatacenter.emuparadise.me or a Yahoo 404 Page Not Found.

Seems that the site sometimes is not working but only for short times (we are trying to know the reasons) now is working fine

[Ariaena]

It's still not working for me, though. What should I do?

Emulator version? plugins settings? and how did you load the game?

Also, can anyone tell me what to do with the Final Fantasy VII/VIII/XI where you have discs? Also, what do you do with games that have multiple parts to download? Thank you!

What do you mean? You have to download all of them and then extract the image file using Winrar/7zip/Hjsplit. More info Here.

Clicked ePSXe, clicked File, Run ISO and then clicked the game file. Now all I get are black screens of dooooom.

Understood, thank you.

Compatibility 2,3,2 and use run cd instead of run iso

[Ariaena]

Still not working. Black screen. I have no CD.

[gladiator (psx datacenter)]

Mount the gaem using daemon tools lite to use the run cd

[Ariaena]

I'm not sure what you mean. What's mount the game mean and what's daemon tools?

[gladiator (psx datacenter)]

Daemon tools is a program that create virtual drives in your computer and is used to mount the games that you have in bin+cue, img ,iso or other formats and run it the same way that you run a cd or dvd version of the game.

[Ariaena]

Okay, I've downloaded and installed Daemon Tools Lite thanks to google. Now what should I do?

I'm quite confused about the problem since I can Run Bios perfectly.

[gladiator (psx datacenter)]

Now you use daemon tool to mount your game and select your daemon tools drive letter in the epsxe cdrom plugin and then run cdrom instead of run iso
