Well it looks like i finally got off my lazy butt, and subscribed to the forums. I never really thought about it, since the fact all my problems were already answered on different threads.

Anywayz, heres my problem. First my comp specs:

------------------------------------------------------------------
P4 1.7ghz
512MB 800mhz RD-Ram
75GB 7200 RPM HD
Generic 16x40 DVD-Rom
Abit Siluro 64MB Geforce 2 w/ TV Out
WinXP Professional
EPSXE 1.40
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem: No games load

I have all of Petes Latest Plugins (My Favorites)
I have the latest Nvidia WinXP Reference Drivers
I have tried various configurations, including software modes

HELP!

-Other CD Plugins Tried
-Making an ISO as we speak to test
-Sig Fixed :wtf:

 

[gerbilcannon]

Tried a different bios as well? Does the bios run? Did the iso work?

try disabling DMA on your cd rom drive.. or enable DMA if its disabled.. Some cd rom drives have problems reading psx cds.. Sometimes some irq conflicts can also make cd rom drives act up.. Upgrading the firmware for your cd rom drive may also remedy your situation..

winxp probs

hi this is my first time here,firstly i`ve tried all the windows ecept xp ,ive heard to many bad coments about it ,anywayive been using epsxe since it it first started ,it worked with all the windows i used perhaps u should go back to win me it works fine for me

 

[CIoud]

ummm ok

All options you have stated have been tested......

-BIOS Worked
-ISO no Work
-XP doesnt give the option for DMA
-I did have WinME before, and the drive had no problem reading the CD

I think im gonna cry.

WAIT! I Know! I'll DUAL-BOOT! Then ill still have WinME!

 

[rac_davies]

good idea,problem is you acnt dual boot win me,try 98 second ed,oh do you know any n64 rom sites
:eyes:

 

[CIoud]

Actually

You CAN Dual-Boot WinME. Use Partition Magic and Boot Magic.

WinME just has to be on the primary partition

err...
don't the boot managers create several primary partitions, so that there is no difference on which one you put it...?

 

[CIoud]

Thats only if you try to dual boot win98/winme

if you try win98/winxp and winme/winxp, it wont, winxp is compatible with a logical partition, it doesnt have to be primary

Anyone actually running EPSXE on WinXP? i really dont wanna go through the dual boot

 

[dirk_gently]

Do yourself a favor

and never use WinME again. You'll find that W2K is much more reliable, and is only barely slower. The speed that you sacrifice is more than paid back in stability.

As far as WinXP is concerned, I ran it from RC1 to the RTM build, and got tired of it. That said, I never had any problems with ePSXe under WinXP.

I'm back to Win2000 now.

HELP!

 

[kairi00]

What games did you try it on? And when you say they don't load, do they just sit there and do nothing, or some error messages actually show up in the console window?
