    Default ePSXe 1.9 game loading/playing issue PLEASE HELP!!!

    OK so i just recently downloaded epsxe along with the bios and was able to config it with no issues. I downloaded the Tomb Raider (v1.6) from coolroms.com. It has a bunch of .bin files (57 in all) and 1 .cue file. So When I open ePSXe and goto open ISO I can click on the very first .bin file and it will start the game. The game will load and play the into video then end up on the selection menu. When selecting game then start it will go to a black screen then nothing will happen. I tried loading any of the other .bin files and even the .cue file and the game will not even start.
    I then tried downloading a whole other version of the game from another website. This file contains a .ECM file and 57 .ape files. When I start the .ECM file via ePSXe it will do virtually the same thing as before. I also tried this with another file downloaded from a torrent site ( a mdf/mds file combo). Still the same. PLEASE HELP!!!

    The above post will do exactly nothing for you

    1. always open disc image by the cue file, if you open a bin file directly only the data track is read and no CDDA will work, most cases that game will just crash
    2. multi bin+cue files require converting to a single bin+cue before you can use them with ePSXe directly
    3. CDDA games require the SPU plugin to be the default one with ePSXe 1.9.0 that's SPU Core, CD plugin can be anything asides from the ASPI core that is for older OS systems

    http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?t=40611 is a guide for converting to a single bin+cue (ePSXe still needs to open the cue file not the bin)
