Hey all, I have just loaded and started working with ePSXe and I have now finished solving most of my installation probs. I now have something that I have no clue how to deal with: with FF7. The game loads find and everythings looks and sounds great, but as soon as I reach the first battle with the two gaurds the game freezes. This happens with my ISO and my disc through ROM, any help is appriciated, ty.
:bounce:

Your disc is most likely damaged, try with a friend's one maybe :s

It might have something to do with the FF7 battle swirl. Don't know much about it, only played PC version. Try changing display plugin and try different settings too. Enable the video plugin's fix for FF7 too.

use ePSXe 1.5.2 or PSXeven. what plugins are you using?

 

[A-J]

this error normally happens in VGS, weird that it happened in epsxe, i'd just advice you to use 1.52 instead of 1.6 , its much more reliable

 

[Serani]

Im not using 6.0 im using 1.52 as for plugins: Pete's Opengl 1.75, SPU core 1.52 and im pretty sure the disc is good for it works on reg ps1

 

[hushypushy]

try using Eternal SPU as it sounds much better. what CD plugin are you using? you failed to mention. what did you make your ISO with?

 

[dutchMasta]

Try using pete's open source soft plugin, if that works, then it's probably your settings. If it doesn't, then try re-making the ISO, I recommend CloneCD, or borrow another CD. Try making the ISO reading from a CD-RW drive, or similar, I think they read better, but not sure.

If it is to do with settings and you got a good enough card, use OpenGL2, if not stick with the OpenGL 1.75 you were using, and check lordkane's site (nick is kane-sama in these forums i think), for optimum battle swirl settings.

 

[Serani]

I used ISOproducer to make the ISO. I am using the ePSXe CDR core 1.5.2 cd plugin. For a vid card I have a Radeon 9200.

 

[Serani]

Well I went and dl'd a newer version of my video pluging and its working alright, but now im running it a little slow and the music is very choppy.

 

[dutchMasta]

Post your settings. A newer version? I thought 1.75 was the latest. Did you change plugin? If so, state which plugin too.

 

[Serani]

Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.6
P.E.Op.S. CDR Driver 1.4
P.E.Op.S. DSound Audio Driver 1.9

 

[hushypushy]

switch to OpenGL 1.75.

 

[fireblaster_lyz]

If it is to do with settings and you got a good enough card, use OpenGL2.

For OGL2, a minimum requiremant would be at least a ATI 9500 or nVidia FX series for shaders. Other than that...use Pete's OGL 1.75.
