    Default Problem with ePSXe ( or the BIOS )

    Yea, so I just downloaded ePSXe to play legend of legaia ( I love that game ) and I read the help page that came with it to help with the whole process. I downloaded the recommended plugins and BIOS but when I wanted to test my BIOS, ePSXe went to full screen for a few seconds before an error report came up which closes the emulator.

    Thinking this was normal ( for some reason ) I tried to run a legend of legaia ISO and it did the exact same thing. In case something is wrong with the BIOS I downloaded one titled SCPH1001. Thx to anyone that can help

    You wanted to test the BIOS? You, don't usually do that. Just configure it so that it chooses the BIOS file, and that's it. And you do have the right BIOS file. What plugins are you using, and what are your computers specs?

    umm ok here is my comp's specs ( Not very knowledgable about comps so this might not be all the imformation you want ).

    HP pavilion intel (R)
    pentium(R) 4 CPU
    2.93 GHz
    504 MB of Ram
    with windows XP

    the plugins i'm using are

    Pete's D3D Driver 1.76 ( video )


    ePSXe SPU core 1.5.2. ( sound )

    and ( not sure if you need this ) ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.5.2. ( CD ROM ).

    Hopefully I'm not missing any cause that would really piss me off.

    Well, if it is actually a plugin problem, I'd recommend you use P.E.Op.S. Windows Soft GPU Version 1.17 driver. I've always used it and it's never given me much trouble.

    Somewhere on this site is a ePSXe configuration guide. I've used it on over a half dozen computers in the past few years alone and it has never given me any problems once I'm done with any game I play (unless there is a special game fix).

    well for some reason I can't extract Legend of legaia but good thing I downloaded another game before ( final fantasy tactics ) and by using the above graphics card mentioned it made the system work. Thx for that and may jesus bless you ( laughs ).

    oh about legend of legaia when I try to extract it a little thing pops up telling me about legend legaia RAR part 02. When I close it and try to unzip the file it doesn't show any ISO for the game. Note** this has never happened to me before.

    the peice is coorupt. try downloading it again. then extract. also its is wise to set your plugins to "nice" setting for greater game compatibility.
