hello yall.

just wondering whether I should try running ePSXe with a SIS 741 onboard graphics adapter. I tried running a game and my system crashed...

You can try it, just use Pete's D3d or OpenGL, but not OGL2 plugin. If those two won't work for you you can always use a software plugin.

i wouldnt even suggest using a hardware plugin at all, that is one POS graphics card, sorry.

what are the rest of your system specs?

 

[crypto S.I.]

hmmm, AthlonXP 2600+, 512MB DDR400, 40GB HDD

so... no ePSXe fun for me?

just get a cheap gfx card s/w mode u can try, might not be v good thou afaik, gfx is pants

Of course you can try and play it. I played PSX on a 333 mHz, so your computer should be able to handle it. (the raw power of yours makes up for the TNT2 I had I think ) Just don't expect to play it at high resolutions with pretty filtering. And configuring might be a bit more difficult. Though using the software plugin should help alot.

And like Techie said, you can always buy a cheap graphics card.

meh... my ol' trusty Geforce4 MX recently died and I just felt like playing some Castlevania SOTN... seems it won't be possible for now. but thanks anyway folks

you can grab a GF2 for like 20 bucks. just go grab that and stick it in there, it's adequate for PSX emulation.

otherwise, you can use Peops Soft plugin, it wont look as good but it will run perfectly.

well, for SOTN... it's a 2D game, PEOPS would do excellent...
