set cpu overcloking to 1x Use Duckstation

 

set cpu overcloking to 1x

I'm not demanding anything but why the developers don't release a new ''bugfix'' version? Just asking.

 

Thank you, that did it. It didn't seem to be set to anything by default - is this a known issue or bug in the program?

 

Yeah unfortunately this is a bug

Its a shame because new people post about this problem almost every week and nobody bothers to post a sticky thread with the solution in it, and its a fairly easy problem to fix.
I want to make one, but the mods here are virtually nonexistent and will probably get lost since it wont be stickied, unless people frequently post on it.

 

Hey thanks for this, had the same problem and this was the exact, EASY-PEASY solution. I appreciate it!

 

Sticky !

 

Worked for me too

 

I've read dozens of posts and threads all over the internet about setting overclocking to 1x. But what if it's at 1x, and I'm still having black screen issues? I even uninstalled everything and did a fresh factory install, and went through the Basic Setup Guide also on this site, and I'm still getting black screen hang on start up. Booting from ISO, even reading the physical disc on boot from drive is giving me this.

 

it's at 1x, and I'm still having black screen issues?

try: (a) the version 2.0.5 [last version], (b) use real bios [disable hle bios], (c) use only native plugins [ePSXe GPU Core 2.0.0 is very good], (d) close all browsers [I don't know why sometimes they hang my emulators], (e) try to force reboot your machine [close everything, then cmd: shutdown -r -t 5], (f) post here your results!

cheers!

 

then, please try the native: Pete's OpenGL2 GPU core 2.0.0. with this settings:

the "render mode" option is the most important in this case. it usually the one that make black screens on some machines.

edit: if it doesn't work, let's renew the emulator settings using a script. please close ePSXe and run "remove all settings.bat" from https://www.ngemu.com/threads/remove-epsxe-pcsxr-settings.197337/ , by DarkSilhouette, and try again a last time.

finally, I will need to know: are you only using 1 game for these tests? and if the error persists, I think it would be interesting to test other emulators.

cheers!

 

Judging by the naming scheme, the Android version is superior? But whatever, I mean they can do whatever they want, but treating their windows version like this is something which feels really sad. It seems like that they only focus on the next Android version...

 

They make money with the version for Android. At the end of the day everyone has bills to pay. Perhaps if there was a continuous form of development finance for PC, perhaps, they would devote themselves to the platform.

Anyway, PSX emulation seems to have stopped for quite some time. PGXP is strong but it relates to graphical improvements to supported games and does not fix emulation bugs or increase compatibility list.

And since the code is closed, it is only who has it that can change. Not that it was open source that everything would be solved, but it is likely that these minor things would be quickly corrected.

Even today, I consider ePSXe to be a major competitor to XEBRA and Mednafen. PCSXR needs urgent an audio plugin that is good, stable, compatible. edgbla gpu plugin and peops soft gpu are excellent. lacks only one good audio plugin to accompany they.

 

A ''bugfix'' release shouldn't take that long especially if you developed a emulator and know what you're doing. That's what I don't understand. It's a ''critical'' bug and the emulator should be released in a state where it doesn't crash when launching. No more no less. Yes, a solution is there and it's easy to use, but you have to know how to fix it in the first place.

But like I said, people can do whatever they want, I'm not demaning anything! Just don't understand it.

 

the android versions released after 2.0.5 came out are mostly just android stuff... nothing applicable to the PC version... the only critical bug in 2.0.5 is the cpu speed not getting set on first run, but that's pretty easily fixed by the users and it is widely know about now.. we do not know what they are working on behind the scenes, considering their are at most 3 people working on it, it takes a lot of time

 

I've spent the whole day and i can't make it run.
I tried every pete's plugin out there and only a "D3D" one sorta worked, but it freezes after a second or two in some games, stays black on others.
The built in 2.0 you sugest up here crashes no matter what.
The overclock x1 thing makes no difference whatsoever, please don't even mention it.

specs are:
i5 4500, 8gb ram, AMD radeon RX 580, windows 10 pro (reciently updated from win7 where everything worked just fine)

This emulator needs updating ASAP, it can't be this buggy on the new standard OS

Please if you can help me tell me here or tell me in my gmail adress : kiarashzanganeh644@gmail.com

 

what kind of GPU do u use
if you use amd/ati then use d3d drivers if nvidia opengl drivers

 

Yeah no, if you got a dedicated graphic card from at least the last decade use the opengl2 plugin that cones with ePSXe.
If you got a laptop or pc with only a integrated graphics card from intel/AMD use the GPUcore plugin that cones with ePSXe.

The D3D and DX6 plugins were made for PCs from the late 90s and early 200X and weren't updated since.

 

I had this problem. Deleting regedit folders solved my problem HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\epsxe and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Vision Thing\PSEmu Pro

 

I've been trying all the things mentioned here and seem to still be having the black screen problems. Here is my log, any ideas or suggestions? Thank you so much!

 

I've ... still be having the black screen problems.

it looks like you're using HLE Bios. please use REAL BIOS. preferably 1001 or 7502. either one. you will only need one and you will no longer need to change bios. (other emulators use other versions.)

searching for SLU-40438 I was unable to find the name of the game. is it a real game or a hack rom? have you compared the hash of your image with the hash on the redump site?

hashing is very simple. hash is a mathematical function that when applied to an identical file produces identical code, and thus allows us to find out if the disk image is original without corruption.

you can use a program like Nirsoft HashMyFiles and find the perfect copy hashes on the redump site.

HashMyFiles: Calculate MD5/SHA1/CRC32 hash of files

HashMyFiles is small utility that allows you to calculate the MD5/SHA1/CRC32/SHA-256/SHA-512/SHA-384 hashes of one or more files in your system.

Ha SLU 404 game not found, ah I'm old
As ofernandofilo said get a BOIS file plus I'm pretty sure that's not a PS1 game you're trying to run, after all what CD can store a track length of 245min.

 

Mine crashes too bu it's kinda different when i get into mine i open my game list and when i click on anything it doesn't respond should i just re start my pc or do i have to re install the emulator or is there another way i can fix this(by the way i already set my overclocking setting to x1 but still have a problem) edit:i get a black screen and it says not responding please i need help somebody anybody more edit:figured it out sorry for bothering any body

 

epsxe apk this will you to download for android.

 

read docs. it says to change tha first option to slow. duh. haha nah ma bad, i was playing thru ff8 again on 3rd disk n tht happened after i modded my psc with autobleem retroboot 8.0... coulnt play n tha damn thing wouldnt read my memory card or save state. but i read thru docs n yea. answers right there

 

Another problem is that if the emu crashes it won't load any more games. Load game - crash. Close emu, reopen emu, load game, crash.
It doesn't matter which game you try after the first crash!
The only solution in this case is to restart the PC.
Any ideas why?

hung app?, look in task manager and see if epsxe is still running, if so, close it and then open it again...

 

Thanks this worked but its still just a black screen. is the rom broken or is something set wrong?

 

If anyone has this issue (or similar, like disc drive not reading the disc no matter what), for me using an external cd drive solved with minimal load-lags (I only tested crash bandicoot 2 so far, that was more than bearable)
