ok i tried running epsxe in win2k, using the win2k cd plugin, internal spu and pete's d3d gpu. when running a game from the CD all i get is a black screen. does anyone have any advice on this?? specific plugin/configuration for win2k??

by the way i have a CD-RW and DVD-ROM on one computer. does this affect epsxe's performance in any way?

Hi,

I run epsxe on my laptop (win2k) with the following plugins: pete's softgpu 1.49, epsxe spu 1.2.0. I have had no problems using the internal cdr plugin so far. Most of the time I use ISOs instead of CDs tough.

I have both a Velo CDRW and a Tobisha DVD-ROM connected on my second IDE channel and my comp works fine with ePSXe. So far as Windows is concerned all such drives are normal CD-Roms, so it's likely the hardware itself isn't at fault.

I can't help you but ePSXe worked fine on my workmachine with win2000. I had a pretty normal setup, nothing special except that internal 2000 cd plugin. have you tried that F4 fix (press F4 when screen goes blank, or (en/dis)able SIO IRQ hack)? maybe it's the game that "hangs", not the emu. dunno, hope you get it working because win200 is the first windows version that i think is decent to be released to public at all.

Make sure you're running ePSXe 1.2.0...

The only thing that should cause that is having CDDA enabled, which was fixed in ePSXe 1.2.0...

The times I've had the black screen hang are when I've had the following enabled:

SIO IRQ:

This seems to hang ePSXe in Win2K.
