Problem with Threads of Fate

[Lorddomu]

After I downloaded Threads of Fate, I unecm'd it and started playing it... Until a point in the game where it froze. On Rue's mode, the game freezes the first time he leaves his house (on the first cutscene). On Mint's mode, it freezes just after jumping the first log on Carona Forest.

I've unecm'd a lot of ISOs lately and they worked, so I don't think I did anything wrong here.

I'm not sure if it has something to do with my emulator, but I think it's likely because I tried to run two different Threads of Fate ISOs and this happened with both. Sorry if I'm posting this on the wrong place.

What emulator are you running this game on?

[Lorddomu]

I use pSX_1_13.

[Sheik]

I don't want to convert anybody to anything, but have you tried ePSXe 1.7.0?

I will personally play that game on pSX 1_13, and if I find a solution' I'll tell you.

It's a known issue:

Always check the compatibility lists to know if the game is going to work before starting to play.

As Sheik, said, give ePSXe a try.

My problem is, I can't configure ePSXe even if my life depends on it. Seriously, I just don't know which plugins to choose, how to make the emulator run on normal speeds (because it runs very very fast here), how to run the emulator on windos mode... =P

It's actually very simple, and well worth it IMO as I've always had the best performance and compatibility using ePSXe.

First of all, download this pack; it contains the emulator as well as any plugins and BIOS files you'll need; http://www.emuparadise.me/Sony_Plays...OS+Plugins/104

Next, open the emulator and click Config > Wizard Guide at the top. The guide should be pretty self-explanatory until it gets to the video plugin bit. In general, I recommend you choose any of the "Petes D3D" plugins for 3D games, and the "P.E.Op.S Soft" plugin for 2D games.

Now to configure the video to look decent and run at the correct speed, here's a screenshot of my configuration;



See the bit where Use FPS Limit is checked and FPS Limit is set to 60? This is what limits the speed correctly. If you have a fairly new computer you can adjust Texture Quality and Desktop Resolution next to Fullscreen Mode. Also if you want to play in Windowed mode, notice the option just below Fullscreen Mode.

These settings work well with any 3D game I throw at them on my rather dated laptop (we're talking 8 years old, 512mb ram etc) so it should work fine for most people in general.

Lorddomu I was retty lsot when I first got my hands on it also but with a little bit of reading and tweaking settings it didnt take long to get it down.Epsxe is the all around best in my opinion and I have never used another ps1 emulator since.I recommend you try it and if you get lost just post on here someone will help you.
