Hi, this is my first post here, but just to let you know, I have read all the general info forums, and searched for my problem but have not found a forum on it, I would also like to apologize in advance for my grammatical errors, as my period does not work at all, So here is my problem, I DL EPSXE, 17, and put it on my crappy laptop, (the one im typing this on), and after many frustrating days, I am now able to play MGS straight from the disk, Realizing that my PC is far more capable of handling such a task as emulating PS1 and PS2 games, I decided to install EPSXE on it in hopes of playing my favorite PS1 game, But I can't, I have all updated graphics plug in, and using the only dvd drive plugin that does not give me error messages, but when I go select "run from CD-ROM", the screen goes black, just like it does on my laptop, but unlike my laptop, nothing else happens, If I wait about 1 and a half minutes on my laptop, the game will start, but with my desktop, I can wait an hour and a half, and nothing happens, I first thought it was a graphics problem, so I made all sorts of tweaks and adustments, but to no avail, then I noticed that my DvD light (the one that lets you know it is reading a disk), does not come on at all when I'm trying to run EPSXE, but will work any other time,
And before you ask, no, I have not tried any other game, as MGS is the only PS1 game I have left
Here are the specs of my computer
HP Pavilion a6430f
nVidia GeForce 6100 nforce 430
AMD Phenom 8400 Triple Core Processor
3GB RAM
Windows Vista 32bit
And my DvD drive is: HL-DT-ST DvD-Ram GH10L SCSI
Please someone help, as I really want to play this game on my desktop!!!
Also, I did find a forum on here that had the "proper" video plugin settings for MGS, and those did not solve the problem either!
