Final Fantasy IX

[Zorlon]

where did you download it from I will check it out myself

[mitch1234]

hmm I downloaded it from one of the mirror sites as I didn't know that you could direct download from EP. Should I try the one from EP because looking at it straight there's a different serial number on it?

But I don't remember which mirror I downloaded it from

EDIT:

Hmm even with the .cue files you sent me it still doesn't work, still comes up with the error..

[Zorlon]

It would do if you have the incorrect version for the cue's at a guess you have the US version as the PAL version is copy protected

open up the cue file with notepad and make sure it is looking for the correct file and if there is a path to the file get rid of it

if your bin file is named Final Fantasy IX.bin then the cue should look like

FILE "Final Fantasy IX.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

Yup thats what it says, still no luck :/

[Zorlon]

Works fine on my end....

Not sure how I can fix it for you, but if you read through my post before you don't even need to do an ingame disc swop for that game you can just boot the next disc and load the save you made on the disc before that one

[mitch1234]

If you're referring to Daemon tools to mount and unmount etc, my emmulator doesn't even load a mounted game file..

[Zorlon]

Did you install the SPTD that I said you needed with D-Tools lite, without it no ePSXe will just sit on a black screen, all versions of ePSXe will do that

You still shouldn't get an error with ePSXe 1.7.0 either though as it can handle cue ccd and mds files

1.6.0 and 1.5.2 can't use cue ccd and mds files though

cue ccd and mds just contain meta data about the disc image including any extra tracks and the data mode for each track

[mitch1234]

Yes I had sptd installed.. :/

[Zorlon]

Uninstall D-Tools and re-install it somethings messed up

Do a system restart just to be sure

Mount the game with D-Tools via the cue file

Start up ePSXe and make sure the CD-Rom plugin is looking at the new drive created with D-Tools, you should be able to see what drive letter it is using in Computer (My Computer if you use XP or under) you can also make sure the disc is mounted as it will have a SLUS name to it

Hit Run CD-Rom in ePSXe and all should be good... do give it a few seconds to read the drive, it should flash up what controler setting it is using before booting the game

[mitch1234]

I've reinstalled it, it still wont let me mount the cue file.. Would you like to team view it or?

[Zorlon]

what does it say when you try and mount the cue?

And no i can sort this without that, you will learn to fix it yourself this way aswell

Also what is the exact name of the bin file?

Sorry I was a lil busy there for a while I have my own lil tasks going on here

Final Fantasy IX (E) (Disc 1) [SLES-02965].bin

and the cue file is
FILE "Final Fantasy IX (E) (Disc 1) [SLES-02965].bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
And it wont even let me mount the .cue file

and dont worry about really fast replies, I'm recovering from a rugby match yesterday so I keep nodding off anyway

[Zorlon]

Get the NTSC version anyway the (E) version is copy protected as I said before

Before doing that though try editing the cue file to read

FILE "Final Fantasy IX (E) (Disc 1) [SLES-02965].bin.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

If that works I will tell you why

P.S. what is the exact error you get anyway, while you try to mount in D-Tools

Error in command line when I try to open with daemon tools, but when I open it in Daemon tools it doesn't give me the option to mount at all, Editing the file didn't help so i'm downloading the NTSC version now so I'll try that
