[DelphiMan]

I have the original cd's. On my psx, they run perfectly.
But still, when running in ePSXe, there is only black screen on the sturt-up.

The weirdest thing, is that when activated, my HD start writing insanly, and my swap file increased and dont stop.

Other games run in my ePSXe, and I have all the latest plug-ins and version.

What can be the problem?

thanks

please tell us your configs for epsxe and system specs..... the game runs fine for me here is my config.......it may help....... If not it might be a cd rom drive problem......try enabling disabling dma..... try different cd rom pluggins...... My comp doesn't work with the internal pluggin..... just loads to a black screen too...... It use to work when I disabled dma on my cd rom drive......

Yep that sounds like the infamous copy protection kicking into life. What version do you have (US, UK, JAP, GER, FR or SPA)?
