The mega upload link doesn't work, its been blocked by the US government. And so maybe if I re download the game somewhere else it will work? and I just downloaded the patches and extracted them to the patches folder and tried the game.

[Zorlon]

I will link you to the game

http://www.emuparadise.me/Sony_Plays...rting-With-F/2

look for the NTSC U version only

If you have problems extracting just ask

N yeah Megaupload is gone for good, shame I had some good stuff on there, that is gone for good

[DrSkullCrush]

ok i Re-downloaded the Rom from here and i used winRAR to extract it now when i try to run it i get this "*Error loading isofile [C:1roms\Final Fantasy IX [NTSC-U] [Disc1of4] [SLUS-01251]\Final Fantasy IX [NTSC-U] [Disc1of4] [ SLUS-01251].ISO]"

[Zorlon]

what files do you have for the game now (full names please)

actually it's likely you have not unecmed the file yet with ecm-tools

[DrSkullCrush]

For the files, I assume you mean the plugins? then its

SCPH101
P.E.Op.S. Soft Driver 1.17
Eternal SPU Plugin 1.41
ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.7.0

But there was a ECM file after I extracted it.

[Zorlon]

yeah thats the file I ment the ecm you need to unecm it, ecmtools are linked at the download page for the game

or you can use my guide but ecmtools are simple enough to use you just drag the ecm over unecm and a lil cmd window will pop up while it gets uncompressed

Normally I would be all you must run the game via the cue sheet but I know for a fact that this game only has the 1 track so you can run whatever the output file is from unecm is diretly from run iso

disc swopping/swapping does not work in ePSXe's default CD plugin but to be honest you get to make a save for the next disc anyway at the end of each disc so that is not an issue just memcard save and restart the emu wioth the next disc and load the save created on the last disc you played through

[DrSkullCrush]

I unecm(ed) the ecm file and got a bin file but when I try and play it it goes back to crashing. it says

"ePSXe.exe has stopped working"

"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

same thing it was doing with all the other FF IX roms I got

[gezegond]

I'm guessing there's something wrong with your windows, do you have another computer or another windows on your system to try and see if it works there?

[Zorlon]

Try a fresh copy of ePSXe in a new folder or ePSXe 1.5.2 and yeah there does seem to be an issue with your computer

Also make sure ePSXe is clossed propperly hit ctrl+alt+delete and start up task manager and make sure ePSXe is not running under the Processes tab before trying to run it again

To close ePSXe always hit esc to take you back to the gui interface and then hit the x do not close ePSXe while the game screen is running, that does not close ePSXe propperly it will still be running

[DrSkullCrush]

I do not have another computer I can test it on, but I did re-download 1.7.0 and still nothing, also tried 1.5.2 and same thing. I checked the task manager as well and it wasn't in there. I guess i will just go back to pSXfin, thank you everyone for your help.

[Zorlon]

Shame realy wish I could get ePSXe running for you

pSXfin may be limited to what it can do but I can't kick it down if it's all you can run

Just wish we could of had it working for you

[Alakazander]

Try adding an exception for ePSXe to your DEP. There is a guide for it Here.

You Sir, you are Awesome. It worked and I can play the game, Thanks a lot.

[DrSkullCrush]

So this brings me back to my original question how can I slow down the game? and can I use save states in ePSXe?

[Alakazander]

Go to Config --> Video, then look for Use FPS Limit, then set it to something like 60 if the game is ridiculously fast, or something like 20 if you want to slow it down to make it easier (like a TAS).

And you can use save stave-states. Go to Run ---> Save/Load State. Also, you can transfer memory cards from pSX to ePSXe, but not save-states.
