Alright, I'm trying to get ePSXe to work with final fantasy tactics. I have epsxe ver's 1.7, 1.6, and 1.5.7, all with bios, plugins (petes 1.76 video), forceaspi has been run, and zlib1.dll has been added. I've used different versions of epsxe. I've used different plugins. I've got a fresh iso of the game made with magiciso.

2.2Ghz dual core, 3.0 gig ram, geforce 7300le.

Epsxe will launch, in all 3 vers, and get to the point of the window opening. then it just freezes, black screen, and has to be killed via task manager.


what am I doing wrong?

aspi is not required on XP/Vista, use the NT/2k CD plugin.

it was already set to NT/2k, apparently..

Did you try running it from the disc directly? try remaking the ISO with another program also like Alcohol.

Yep, same outcome

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

are there any message in the logging window?

take a screenshot of it after launching a game.

Nothing jumps out at me

Update to Pete's 1.77 plugins. If you are using Vista, disable DEP and run ePSXe as admin. Also have you updated your graphics card drivers? Can you simply run the bios?

I'm running XP, and yes, I can run the bios, I tested that before posting.

updated to petes openGL 1.77 for video, and moby's for cdrom.

fails at the same point/same way when launching iso. when I try to run from CD, it prompts me to find the .bin image and refuses to look anywhere but the C: drive (as opposed to the E drive, where the cd actually is)

try using SapuCDR in 1.6.0

try using SapuCDR in 1.6.0

It will now run from CD! Not from iso, though, and if I recall correctly FFT throws up errors/major lag later on if its not running from iso. Is this still a problem or should I shut up and take what I can get

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

use Nero Drive speed, or Creative disk detector to set the idle spin down time to off, or as long as possible, that negates the spinup lag.

 

[bladeofexile]

I also recall that these settings need to be changed considerably, but I don't know what to change them to.

I do intend to use it windowed, 800x600 preferably

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

use peopsoft, the 3d plugins are very slow on the heavy 2d games.

 

[bladeofexile]

use peopsoft

can you elaborate on how? I'm sorry, I have no idea what peopsoft is

 

[jonc2006]

the software plugin, it has the best compatibility and like squall mentioned, it is best used with 2d games.
