Has anyone found a working emulator for this game?

I've used the ones provided on the forums before posting this. I've even rummaged around for my VGS cd and tried that but I can't get it installed because it's outdated.

espxe: I can somewhat play it, but the game locks up on the Super Robot route at the start of the EVA mission (level 15).

AdriPSX: Locks up after the opening mission.

PCSX: It's already listed as being incompatible on the compatibility list for PCSX. I checked that after I attempted to run the game. It will hang at text area's in which a battle alert happens. The animation(mainly the characters faces) will continue and so with the music, but no text will appear in the text box.

PSXeven: Freezes/Locks up when starting a new game or when trying to advance out of the unit upgrade screen.

I actually own the CD itself and I have tried both using the actual CD and making an ISO. I don't have a modded ps2 and my PSX is broken so i'm forced to use my PC as a way to play these awesome games.

If you know a PSX emulator that has actually worked for the game or if there is a way to get one of the emulators listed above to work, your help would be appreciated.

Is there also an english version of SRW MX? The good thing of Super robot wars alpha (among the various SRW) is that it is also in english, which simplifies a lot the game.
Haven't seen one..:( But the Menus and Battlemenus/stats are exactly the same as Alpha so if you played that, it's ok!:thumb:

Sorry for being dumb, what do you mean by in game save game? What I did was I copy that file and replace my memory card file then I load it, there's only one saved game to that rught? it was on the start of episode 15. I also tried to load my save states but it was my saved states that I am seeing.Hi,
nevermind i got it thanks for the help guys.
Sorry, i meant "in.mission" :bow:
But, as you know you got to options in the startmenu: load and continue! Load loads you're "between-the-missions" save and continue loads you're "in-mission" saves...

sry again :laugh:

You're saying that your game won't work at all...?

Hm. Well, when I first got around to playing the game on an emulator (The actual game my brother had purchased from Japan doesn't work nowadays, it's a shame) I too had some problems, however they were only because of some PEC code screwing the game up. Otherwise it worked just fine.

(And please don't start going on about hating cheating, I've already beaten this game once, but that was years ago. Now I just would like to steer clear through the game while having fun)

But to the actual point, mission sixteen keeps screwing up on me as well. So I would really like it if someone would make an in-mission save after the cut-scene of EVA-01 going up in the elevator.

Also, one thing that was a tad odd when compared to my earlier tries of solving this cut-scene dilemma, I now actually hear something else besides the BGM. For example, in the opening video I used to hear nothing, now I hear the music. Furthermore, now I realized that at times the characters talk (they do, right? Other than with Shinji whining about things in mission 16, that is). The problem is, when they talk the sound is very static and messed up. This also goes to the sound effects when in dialogue parts, with the explosion sounds and sirens, it is all static.

I would like some help, and please do tell if I need to post the settings of the sound, or any of the kind.

I had a similar problem before, in mission ten or so. I was skipping through the conversation with the start-button. Then exactly that happened, eyes blink, no one says anything, no proceeding whatsoever. Later on, I found out that when that happened, it was supposed to have the screen shaking and such to indicate that an explosion happened in the game.

I didn't "skip" through the conversation, and it worked just fine, game proceeded and all. No idea what caused the problem, but I haven't really skipped through any of the conversations after that...

FIX that worked for me:

I use a macbook PCSX-R and stage 15 was also a problem since I was using a semi-translated version (ENG)

I downloaded the original japanese version of the game and used it.

1) Converted it to .bin from .ecm
2) Loaded as ISO
3) The movie (EVA) played through (IMPORTANT)
4) Saved game state
5) used ENG version again

in any case i got the JPN version here:

I know it's better to play your own game than ask for another's save file.

Hope this helps! :)

Yep so am writing this for people who are struggling with playing the game. So it's pretty silly first you need to use epsxe and as for Bio well am a 100% everyone is using a "US or EU" Bio well..... change that to Japanese bio and your done........yep.......If you think about it your playing a SRW game and a English version never came out until V and your trying to play a SRW with a English Bio..........ya I felt stupid when it's pretty simple to fix there is nothing wrong with the sound just the bio.......ill let all of you think about it and face palm your face.
