CD Rom: ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.5.2.
Bios:scph 7502

since you're in italy, i am assuming you have the FF9 italian version. you'll need to get the FF9 PPF patch for the italian region. get it here

 

[monty14]

There isn’t a patch for FF9.

 

[Blue Spirit]

try to make ISO image

 

[monty14]

Nothing. all black

 

[hushypushy]

when you make an ISO, make it with subchannel data. you can use CloneCD, alcohol120%, or ISObuster to do that

 

[monty14]

nothing

 

[hushypushy]

you know, i would appreciate a little more feedback than "nothing." it's really hard for me to troubleshoot when that's what i get out of you. what does the console (the DOS window) say? which of those 3 programs did you make it with? you MUST have subchannel data (the .sub file).

you can also just play off a CD, and have subchannel reading enabled (use Pete's CDR plugin)

k, you're from europe too. you're going to need the PPF patch, and the link has already been given. otherwise, make an ISO with subchannel data, or play off the CD with subchannel reading enabled.

 

[CyannureMAGik]

PPF are already in my patches folder , don't worry I read the entire post before posting ...

okay. I tried out ISO with subchannel and CDRom with subchannel ... and now I get a second ePSXe window, but nothing happens...

and it stop my foobar2000 music without I gave order to


EDIT : I tried out your guide Hushpushy with all the same driver and some minor setting changes (resolution)
and now , when I start my FF9 iso or CDROM => 1 sec BlackScreen -> ePSXe(1.5.2) get crashed

here is what a get in the dos window ( console ? )

* Runnung ePSXe Emulator Version 1.5.2
* Memory handlers init.
* ePSXe: PSX BIOS loaded [G:\ePSXe\bios\scph7502.bin]
* Init cdrom... ok
* Cdrom open... ok
* Force Pal cdrom detected.
* Doing init gpu[0]...
* Gpu open[0]...
* Direct input init ok
* Doing spu init...
* Spu Open...

------------> Crash.

I won't give up >.<

 

[fireblaster_lyz]

Crashed? No error messages?
Use PSXeven or SSSPSX instead.

 

[CyannureMAGik]

believe me if you want , but even on SSSPSX and PSXeven it doesn't work :/

I think it's all about setting , I don't know how to correctly set them...
so if someone could help me ^_^ , check my entire spec in my first post on this thread =)

thx for your help guys =)


EDIT : I tried with PCSX , also got crashed I'm going mad DDDD

I know this really isn't a fix to the problem, but if you want to play Final Fantasy IX on ePSXe it's probably the most n00b friendly tactic out there:

Buy the North American version.

And then after If you want to then resell your PAL version, you can get quite a bit for that game nowadays.
