Hello everybody,

Please help. I don't know what's wrong with my ePSXe 1.6! After having spent hours in configuring all the plugins, I tried to start a game in ISO format stored on my HD (it's the new Saint Seiya - Chapter Sanctuary game). I tried to use ISO reading capability of the emulator and also the Mooby2 cd disk image driver 2.8 which emulates a cdrom plugin for ISO files. I even tried daemon tools to emulate CD Drives, but nothing works. Here is the message log I have when I start the ePSXe:

* Running ePSXe emulator version 1.6.0.
* Memory handlers init.
* ePSXe: PSX BIOS loaded [D:\DOWNLOADS\OVERNET\INCOMING\EPSXE\Bios\scph7502.bin
].
* Init cdrom ... ok
* Cdrom open... ok
* NTSC cdrom detected.
* Doing init gpu[0]...
* Gpu open[0]...
* Direct input init ok.
* Doing spu init...
* Spu open...

And Here it stops, nothing happens, and ePSXe is blocked.

Could anyone provide any help

Thanks
:hdbash:

does the actual ePSXe window come up? or does it sit there at the DOS window?

did you try ePSXe 1.5.2, PSXeven, or PCSX?

Thank you

The ePSXe Window does in fact show up, but it remains a black window and the mouse cursor is lost when I pass it over !

I didn't try ePSXe 1.5.2, do you think an older version would work better? I'll try it anyway.

Thank you

I tried ePSXe 1.5.2 with Xeven's Cdr Driver 0.93 as a CD plugin and the CD Drive is emulated by daemon tools. The problem remains the same. Here's the message:

try Sapu's plugin? it also autodetects. and try PSXeven.

I tried them both. Nothing. I have still the same problem (even with PSXeven). according to the startup log, the emulator blocks on Sound Plugin (if not further).

 

[hushypushy]

try using a different sound plugin then. Eternal and Peops Dsound are good choices.

Neither Eternal nor Peops are working. You made me think that there's a problem with the game itself.

THank you anyway

 

[hushypushy]

there just might be.

does the disc have scratches?

 

[Novalon]

It could be any number of reasons. Playing from an ISO implies something is wrong with the disc perhaps? Try using the Run ISO command too.

 

[The Unknown One]

try running the bios to check to see if the emulator is ok. that'll help you isolate the problem.

 

[fireblaster_lyz]

That is basically to test the BIOS.

 

[mohcines]

I checked the BIOS, It's running Ok. I think the problem comes later. Is there a log file or something like to check just where exactly the emulator stops ?

heh, thanks for point that out. i didnt even notice until i read your post then i went back to the first post and it said "the new game" then i realized PSX games arent coming out anymore

and then since he said he had the ISO on his hdd...yeah, most likely warez on top of that

anywho, thanks for mentioning it vegnadragon, who knows how long this would've dragged on :lol:
