if you got a voodoo, use lewpy's glide pluggin.... nvidea, use petes opengl.... anything else, use petes d3d or software..... there is no special settings needed.... Just press f4 to get controls working while the game is running....... and then f4 again to get memcards working.... The voices in this game are jacked in epsxe 1.2 no matter what sound pluggin you use..... I suggest testing them all and using the one that sounds the best....... I have found though, that the voices for Dino Crisis 1 (US) sounds better in fpse.... that other psx emu.... I can actually here whole conversations on fpse....... You could try that...... Although it runs slower than epsxe on my system, but still fast since I got a tbird 1000, voodoo 5 5500 agp..... here is my configuration if it will help......

How are you able to get past the warning screen? It doesn't even get to the MDEC.

 

[KillerShots]

You have to apply the patch to the ISO file. You can find one at Megagames...

 

[fivefeet8]

I don't use a patch..... I run directly from the cd and it runs fine except for voices...... You may have to disable sio irq( look at my config)...... then press f4 ingame...... for controls and memcards

 

[chp]

Choppy Soud problems in Dino Crisis are very known problems in ePSXe (and not yet corrected). So you can run directly from CD or ISO without problems except for the sound.

Sincerly

 

[KillerShots]

Unless you are using the NTSC version, where it does not get past the "Gore warning" screen. I could not play that game until I installed the patch, and I'd tried every plugin in every combination.

 

[fivefeet8]

I am playing the US version of Dino Crisis(NTSC) and I always get past the warning screen........ no patch......

 

[KillerShots]

If that is so, then there are multiple NTSC US versions of Dino Crisis. Mine doesn't work without the patch.

 

[Slash304]

For you people tell other they should use pete OpenGL plugin for nvidia card you are wrong use D3D because they are designed for that api

 

[Guest]

KillerShots, I do believe you are right. There must be multiple version of Dino Crisis 1 US NTSC. I say this because mine does the same thing as yours, won't get past the warning screen. I, too, have tried every plugin and keypress to get it to go, but nope.
Guess I'll just have to make an ISO and do it that way.
sincerely,

Sorry mate but you're wrong,nvidia cards are well known to be faster in OpenGL(at least it is for me).
