Well, this is pretty much what I know. I have the same plugins for both versions. I'm loading from an ISO image. Almost all the games work fine in 1.6 But there are other ones that when loaded in 1.6 I just get a black screen, although the 1.5.2 version runs the game properly. Any idea please?

thanks!!

continue to use 1.5.2. There were a lot of bugs introduced in 1.6. If/when 1.7 is released use that, should be better.

That's true, I've read on these very forums that Chrono Cross is one of thoes games that gives u a 'black screen' with 1.6 and its better to use 1.5.2 but I'm actually playing the game with v 1.6 fine.

Anywhoo, if a game doesn't work with 1.6 you can always try 1.5.2

Thanks for the anwsers, it really helps!
I'll have to use both versions, because I'm using a gun that only works with 1.6 version. I can't remember exactly, but i think that both versions working in the same computer caused me in the past some kind of troubles. I'll see if I can make both versions work in the same computer without interfere with themselves.

just keep them in different folders and you should be ok.

hi!
It doesn't work. Although I keep them in different folders, both configurations seem to be somehow connected. For example, the gamepad setup are always the same for both versions (you can not have different setups). If I changes the keys in the 1.5.2 version, then the keys are also changed in the 1.6 version :???: try it if you don't believe me :innocent:

cheers

the configurations are connected because they use the same registry keys

what i meant about keeping them in different folders was to avoid conflicts and things like that.

As hushypushy pointed out, they are connected. I tried comparing both my 1.6 and 1.5.2 folders (I don't use a frontend), and they worked out exactly the same except for the executable. Therefore, all you actually need are the two executable files (one for 1.6, the other for 1.5.2). Just doubleclick on the one you want when you want to run a specific version.

Of course this means you have to change the config IF you prefer different settings for the different versions - but I don't see why you would want to? :???:

different settings for different games

different settings for different games

Huh. You'll need different settings for different games even with just ONE version of the emu, right?

 

[fireblaster_lyz]

Come on.
Use ePSXecutor or Delta for this case.

correct.

I'm already using mamewah, I don't believe I could also use a second front end (don't know, will try it).

All this is because the 1.5.2 version doesn't support the "Digital/gun" option, which 1.6 does. So, if I have both version on the computer, I can not play lightgun games with 1.6 and "non-working-games-on-1.6" games with 1.5.2

But i don't want to bother you with it, i'll find another solution :hdbash:
