Medievil 2 - Stuck at kensington loading screen

[Vibhor]

I have been trying to emulate medievil 2. The game starts off fine, no errors but as soon as I select the next stage from the professors lab the game freezes. It shows the kensington loading screen and then gets stuck at that. I am using epsxe 1.7. I have even tried the software plugins.
The ISO was downloaded from this site, the one with English, german and french language. Am I the only one with this problem?

The game has LibCrypt protection so you have to dowload the SBI subchannels file from the http://redump.org/disc/593/ and use it with peops cdrom , ypu can check and example in the epsxe emulation guide section of my page eith th f1200 game http://psxdatacenter.emuparadise.me/

I am using an ISO to run the game so peops cdrom plugin is not even used. Any other solution?

The game is copy protected

http://www.epforums.org/showthread.p...atches-Archive

go to the above link find the patch for the version you have and extract it to the patches sub folder that you store ePSXe in

EDIT:- seems I forgot to rename the patch for the NTSC version

so if you have the NTSC-U version of the game then remane "KAL-MD2C.PPF" to "SLUS_945.64", this will auto patch the game for you

EDIT AGAIN:-

fixed and reuploaded so ignore the bit about renaming

P.S. If the patch does not seem to be doing anything let me know, I may need a lil more information from you (just what the main exec file is for the game, I will explain more if it is needed though)

The user has the pal version and the sbi is the protection for the redump image so i point him to the disc in the redump since is the best solution and is better to learn to use this way since most game doesn't have patches and even some of them are not perfect and to avoid future problems is always better to not use patch in emulators.

Sorry but the patch isn't working for me.
It could be that I have installed it incorrectly. Where am I supposed to copy the files after extracting the archive?
Currently they are in the same folder as the epsxe executable file.

If thew patch is for the usa version it will never work and you have to use the other way that i tell you

The patch is the one which matches the file name with the image I downloaded.
I would use your way but the thing is, with your way I am required to burn the image on a disk. I cannot do that in my current state(cd drive is busted).

[gladiator (psx datacenter)]

You can use daemon tools to mount your image and select any scsi drive that daemon tool lite create to use it with peops cdrom plugin

[Zorlon]

the patchs are for the PAL and NTSC version and must be extracted to a sub folder called patches this folder is in the folder that ePSXe is stored, if the folder does not exist just create a New Folder and edit the name of it to patches

Again the PAL version is also there aswell as the NTSC version

I am inclined to agree by the way the sbi method is much better specially when you don't want a cracktro (hate those things)....

Also it is best to run CD images from a virtual drive rather than using run ISO, that can alone fix various emulation issues...

[Vibhor]

The patch worked. Thanks.
But about the sbi file
The peops cd plugin only allows me to assign my disk drive and does not accept any virtual drive. How do I make it select the virtual drive? I have got the image mounted and all.

try resetting your machine, also did you make sure that the SPDT drivers got installed while installing D-Tools Lite

[Vibhor]

Installed the SPTD drivers.
Working fine now. Thanks again.

No problem, just glad it's working for you
