Hi

I am trying to play Suikoden, but the screen just stays black after starting the game.

I am playing the iso directly off my hd.
Video: Lewpy 3dfx or Peteopen-GL, Internal Sound, Bios 1001 or 7502

Any ideas?

Well I don't have this specific game but a black screen in a specific game from start usually means one of 3 things:

a: Mdecs need switched on in epsxecutor
b: The game has copy protection. Look for a patch
c: The game doesn't work.

Hope that helps

yeah copy prot... never though about that since i play all my games from my hd (faster than my old cdrom)
thx

Suikoden (English ver) 100% finished!

This game need no patch to run (English version).

Remember disable CD-ROM status. Other options all enabled.

I finish this game months ago (2nd time) with ePSXe 1.4:

- Pete OpenGL 1.41 (or Pete SoftGPU, slower but look better)
- Iori DirectSound SPU 1.4
- TsgMSCDEX 1.2

Better use 100FPS, otherwise too slow especially combat screen.
