Struggling to get Constructor running

[N3XUS12]

Okay, so a friend reminded me about the old ps1 game Constructor, and I decided I just HAD to play it. I downloaded the epsxe 1.80 and after a lot of blood, sweat and tears, finally figured out how to get it running. I managed to get Crash Team Racing and Digimon World working fine so I know I am on the right track.

However Constructor does not work (I downloaded it on this site), the screen just stays black after I open the ISO file or the CD file, depending on which way I do it.

People say that it works better on 1.7 so I downloaded that but for some reason I cannot get 1.6 or 1.7 working to save my life, only 1.8.

So I guess my perfect solution would either be getting this game working on 1.8 or fixing 1.7 and hoping it works on there. (When I downloaded 1.7 it came with no BIOS or Plugins even though I downloaded the BIOS and Plugin verion, maybe that has something to do with it)

I hope this isn't all too confusing. Btw I run Windows 8 with a nvidia geforce so I have been running at a low screen resolution to help the games out.

So what issues are you having exactly with 1.6/1.7? Missing .dll files? Missing plugins?

You could try one of these copies listed here on the main site;

ePSXe 1.6 + Plugins

ePSXe 1.7 + Plugins

Both startup fine out of the box on my windows 7 machine (should be the same with 8), although the 1.6 pack will require 7zip to extract. If you need it you can get it here;
