sounds to me like a bad iso. Try making another. I use Isobuster
( www.isobuster.com )
Another recommened program is cdrwin ( www.goldenhawk.com )

hmmm :yawn: i already tried the isobuster after i copied the cd and try to run the ISO that i copied..the game crash in cinematics of Final Fantasy IIIV in Disk 1 (first cinematic) :eyespin:

 

[L|nk3r]

Betamax, i downloaded the ISObuster again.. then this is the step that i have done

1. Open IsoBuster
2. Select the Drive (specific drive where the game ff8 located)
3. then i click the "CD" another one appear "Session 1" then i click Session 1 then i see the "Track 1" right click on it and i select "Extract Track 1 to/Extract RAW Data (2352 bytes/block) (*.Bin,*.Iso).
4. after i copied the game i try to run the Bin file in ePSXe emu. i choose the Kazzuya Software driver then.
5. Open ISO click on the "Track 1.Bin" the game run but in the Cinematics mode in the beggining of the game i got the black screen....

why? the screen black and there is an error when i try to config my Video "The procedure entry point SMapLS_IP_EBP_20 could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."

Can please any one help me i really appreciate your help ....

You forgot to patch it didn't you

Download a patch from a website (the only one that I know of that has it is not allowed to be named on this board. for you version (US, UK, GER, FRA etc) and ppf-o-matic and use these to patch the iso. The game should run then.

can u please help me...Betamax...thanks by the way for the reply's

 

[Betamax]

erm are you sure that it is the right patch? That patch is for the Italian language version. Seeing how your from the Philippines I would have though it would be the US version. Or an I making an A$$ of myself.

i try to patch to the game in Us version patch the intro of us version work but the the gives me a black screen im so confusing now....huhuhu any choice that can u help me please....

 

[Bgnome]

what plugins are you using?
looking at the id code, it looks like a US version so try a US NTSC patch. i might also try switching the bios to the scph7502.bin.

 

[Betamax]

I'd say that you have the mdec switched off. For some reason the option to switch them back on was removed from the emu so you have to use epsxecutor to switch them on. Heres a screenshot.

[L|nk3r]

thanks again Betamax....more power to you and god bless!

 

[Betamax]

Right back to square one. I'd try d/l a memorycard from the start of the games to se if it is just this mdec or others that crashes. You can get one over at www.gamefaqs.com

 

[L|nk3r]

huh? another black screen? in Zell's Cinematics? can i ask about this Betamax why i got the black screen? by the way this is the settings of my video using Pete's D3D

I need help saving states. I press f2 then i go to a state slot and I push some buttons butt i'm not sure which button to push i never can seem to save the state please tell me which button to push!

 

[Betamax]

Eh? still Black? With the mdecs on? This one has me stumped.

As for Daemon some ppl find that it improves performance. You must tell both the plugin (assuming its not the internal one) and the emulator to use the phantom drive. Also don't forget to mount the iso.

As for the savestates:

f1: save
f2: slect slot
f3: load
