HEY GREYFOX CUm HELP ME

[valonbrow]

i finally got final fantasy 8 and when i load the iso on epsxe nuthing but a black screen comes up.THis is the only game that does this it was extracted perfectly how am i supposed to get it to work?

[Hype]

Well its definitely not the ISO as I also d/l the ff8 grayfox uploaded (if thats the one you mean) and it works fine for me. Post your pc specs and epsxe plugin configs and maybe itll be easier for people to help you

[valonbrow]

i got a dell dimension 2300 with the extreme graphics card i use peops software driver i got 1.8 ghz and 512 megs of ram all games work perfect like xenogears legend of dragoon final fantasy 7 but this game jus gives me a black screen

i'd say try other video plugins and mess around with their options. also, try mounting them on virtual drives and see if it'll run using the cd drive plugin.

[GrayF0X]

Experiment with the video settings in your epsxe. If nothing works try changing the .iso into another format like bin/cue.

[valonbrow]

how do i do that

Are you sure your image is intact?

Did you scan it with CD Mage, just to make sure?
What BIOS are you using?
What Sound Driver you using?


Also, nobody cares how many games work perfectly. Every game does something a little different
and no matter how many games work perfectly your eventually gonna run into one that
dosn't work with your config.


It seems like you are purposely giving us as little to go on as possible.
Were willing to help..

i got peops software driver default sound drive and scph 1001 for bios what do i change to get it to work

[Starless_Eyes]

Try these plugins, I have had no problem with their configuration. The bios your using is very good. Another bios to use, correct me if I'm wrong but I think it was SCPH_7502.BIN, that is supposed to another good bios choice.

Video: P.E.Op.S. Soft Driver 1.17
Sound: ePSXe SPU core 1.5.2.
CDrom: ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.5.2.

You might wanna try Eternal SPU.

This problem dosn't seem to be very common for this game.. The only instances I can find of where this occurs are

1. A bad Image
2. An unpatched Image.

As I now read that you were having extraction problems, I strongly suggest you scan your image for errors.

[GrayF0X]

This is mine ePSXe. All necesary plugins and bios are included.
I played the game on this configuration [img=http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/1699/desktop8pj.th.png]

...Special fixes check the white box and have a look in it with ... and try the 0x0002 option

also config your sound plugin there is a fix for FF8 in most of the sound plugins or a fix for updating before accessing register

Hello guys
I just wanted to say I'm having the very same problem. I also wanna add that I tried all the games that I downloaded on ePSXe and they all worked. Maybe u think that FF8 is not compatible with my config, but i managed to d/l a Disc3 image (from a MegaUpload mania post) (only d/l disc3 cuz it was the only working link u_u
Anyway, the disc3 image worked perfectly, so I don't think it's a Configuration problem. Is there any chance that this image is damaged?
I also tried the emulator that Gryfox posted with it's configuration, and still get a black screen
What going on?
