Internal plugins v1.5.2... when using ePSXe v1.7.0?
Remake your ePSXe installation, starting from a clean ePSXe v1.7.0.

For the OpCode error, it's already on the FAQ: Troubleshooting FAQ

 

[Cleveland Rock]

I was reading the plugin list for Delta, which says my internal plugins are 1.5.2. ePSXe says they're 1.7.0. My bad. I reinstalled anyway.

I also tried switching plugins around and updating my graphics card drivers. No dice. I suppose I might have to try another emulator, but I'm positive my discs are fine as they work on an actual system.

 

[KrossX]

Try not using Delta, just the emulator itself... from a clean installation, being run directly.
First, be sure that you can run the BIOS. If you can, then try a game.

 

[Cleveland Rock]

Thanks again for the suggestions, but that's already what I've been doing. The BIOS works without a flaw, but the games still have the above problems.

I tried out pSX, but that was even worse.

 

[KrossX]

Well, if you can run the BIOS that's a start. Are you sure the discs are in good condition?

 

[Cleveland Rock]

I am positive they are in good condition. They run on my PS2 like a charm.

 

[KrossX]

Then make a new image of them, and disable skip errors.
And give it a try with Pete's OGL2 plugin.

 

[Cleveland Rock]

disable skip errors

I'm afraid I don't know how to do that. Do I have to use a specific program to make my ISOs? I've been using IsoBuster. It doesn't look like CloneCD is free.

 

[masta.g.86]

CloneCD is one of the best if not the best method for ripping PS1 discs. It has a free trial available, so you can use it to rip all of your old PS1 game discs before it expires.

There's also good old CDRWIN. I used this to rip all of my PS1 games before CloneCD came along. From what I remember, you can use it indefinitely, but you're limited to 1x copy/burn speed. However, the program seems to issue non-standard IOCTL commands to limit the speed. My Plextor drive would ignore the commands and rip at the full 12x speed it was capable of.

If you want to use CDRWIN, there are still plenty of guides to use it for PS1 game ripping and it supports subchannel ripping and has options to ignore errors. (you need to turn on the ignore errors option when ripping PS1 games)

 

[Cleveland Rock]

I tried it with CloneCD. Now I get an OpCode error regardless of my method and plugins.

I did get a lot of "failed to read sector" warnings when I made the ISOs, though. Is that normal or do I have to yell at someone for scratching my discs?

 

[masta.g.86]

Did you rip the disc(s) with the "Game" profile?

If you use the game profile it automatically sets itself to ignore read errors.

 

[Cleveland Rock]

I was just doing what this thread said.

 

[masta.g.86]

How badly scratched would you say the disc is? Can you hold it up close to your eyes while facing a light source and see light coming through the cracks?

 

[Cleveland Rock]

Mega Man Legends has a few hairline scratches on it, but nothing too bad. Mortal Kombat Trilogy, on the other hand, is the smoothest, blackest disc I have ever laid eyes on.

 

[jonc2006]

do you have any games other games that do work correctly or is it just these two you are having problems with?

do you get any error messages or notice different behavior when attempting to run these games on psx? you said earlier you have tried them on it but was there any differences whatsoever in how the games reacted under it compared to epsxe?

 

[Cleveland Rock]

I was able to get Rampage: World Tour running from the CD with no errors other than skipping audio. However, I cannot seem to load or mount .ccd files at all. My best results have been with .cue/.iso files ripped with IsoBuster.

Getting Mega Man Legends to work is my top priority right now.

was there any differences whatsoever in how the games reacted under it compared to epsxe?

They worked flawlessly on the console, but won't work in the emulator.

 

[jonc2006]

sorry i ment the emulator called psx, not the actual console . are there any differences between psx and epsxe, like similar error messages or crashing at specific points, etc.?

Ohhhh! Well, pSX froze up immediately when the game loaded. With ePSXe, I could at least make it through the first level. No similarities at all.

 

[jonc2006]

if it is not too much trouble would you mind testing the games on pcsx?
