post your video plugin and how you have it configured. also post your system specs. are you playing from the disc or from an image and does the game do this on other emulators like psx?

 

Pentium 4CPU 1.60 GHz 1.00GHz of ram
anythign else, for i wasnt the one who made it, i just played it. long story short i cant get the guy who did it to help me at the moment

 

try enabling framebuffer effects, offscreen drawing and such to different values because it is black you have set it to black with one of those settings

 

this is odd, i hit video and this is the messege that appears:

This Application has failed to start because WNASPI32.dll was not found , re-installing the application may fix this problem

nevermind now its working, now where is it?

 

where is what?

 

where is what?

Weltall, jonc2006 raises a good point, please provide information such as what version of the emulator you are using and what are the setting you are currently because all we can do is just guess your solution

 

how would i find it out? beacause i have no clue

 

... and... what exactly are you looking for? *has really no clue at all*

You should be using ePSXe if posting in this place, to find its version just look at the main window when you start it... the version number is quite big, with colors.. .and nice shape too.

For the plugins, you could just screenshot its configuration window and attach it here. If using any of the Pete's video plugins, you could use the [Copy configuration to clipboard] button at the bottom right corner of its configuration window. Just click the button and do a paste here while posting.

It's suggested to use ePSXe v1.7.0 to play Xenogears due to some bugs being fixed.
I also suggest to use the Eternal sound plugin to avoid "missing sounds".

 

ahh that would be it i use 1.6.0. it wont delete save files will it? even so ill download it anyways. but heres the config

however, isn this just grat, i unzip all the files into there, delte the ones it tells me to delete, and now it says that it wont work...sigh what am i doing wrong?

it says its missing the zlib1.dll file

all irght i updated to 1.7 and but it STILL wont work!! i tried in game and its still got the top part blanked out. so whats this frame burner stuff?

ok if ixed the n black screen, however, around like text and texture and some other random things, it gets very odd, ill show a picture of it here :

 

Your Pete's OGL2 version is quite old, latest is v2.9

First of all, get the latests Pete's GPU plugins and update your Display Device drivers.

Pete's site - GPU Plugins

Try with compatibility settings: 1-2-2. Check "[ ] Use Pixel Shader for PSX texture window" if the dialog is still messed up.

Under ePSXe v1.7.0 it's suggested to disable FPS limit, because the emulator has a built-in one.

Also... do the Pete's soft plugin look the same? (update ALL Pete's GPU plugins, including Soft plugin to version 1.18b)

 

well the diolougs all right, however (yeah another thing) the textures, they are still odd, and will have strange colors heres a screenshot:


also theres some tittle stuff thats the same thing

btw heres my settings with the new driver

ah nevermind it didnt fix the text, i just saw one without it and jumped the gun

anyone know

 

anyone??

 

Press F7 to switch into Pete's Soft video plugin, and check if it looks the same. If it does, it's probably due to an error with the Disc/Image.

Also, are you overclocking your Video Card?

 

When would i press F7? in the game, or before i load the ISO file, and overclocking my video card?

 

In the a place where you see a "glitch", press F7 to switch into the Soft plugin and check if the "glitch" still shows. That would tell if it's either a plugin issue or another kind of issue.

The question about if you're are overclocking your video card, is related to the fact that hardware in such condition is prone to produce image corruption.

I've played Xenogears with ePSXe v1.7.0 and OpenGL2 v2.9 with an nVIDIA card, never had such issues. If I remember properly, the settings used were:

Plugin: Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.9

Resolution/Color:
- 1280x960 Fullscreen
- Internal X resolution: 2 (just cuz it looks pretteh =P)
- Internal Y resolution: 2 (same up, reduce them to improve performace if running slow)
- Stretching: 3 ( should have no impact in performance, just taste =P )
- Render Mode: 2

- Filtering: 0
- Hi-Res textures: 0
- TexWin pixel shader: on
- VRam size: 512 MBytes < specified acording to HW ammount

Compatibility: (all into standard)
- Offscreen drawing: 1
- Framebuffer effects: 2
- Framebuffer uploads: 1

You should try with the other render modes and, specifying the ammount of VRAM you have.

 

i dindt download the new soft pluggin should i?

EDIT: i guess it does, i tried to configure the soft pluggin and wuhlaa, it closes.... ill download that after im done with something

Well the f7 thing didnt work. not sure if im overclocking or how to check. and how would the disk image be bad? its an ISO file and it didnt do it the last time i played through.

 

Make sure you're using ePSXe v1.7.0, and make sure you have the latest Pete's plugins (including PEOpS Soft v1.18b).

With ePSXe v1.7.0, you should be able to switch while playing between the current GPU plugin and PEOpS Soft plugin. For example, once you have a graphical issue, press F7 to switch from OGL2 plguin and check if it shows the same under PEOpS Soft plugin. If it does, it's probably to be a corrupted image.

Or, to make it simple, just use the Soft plugin from start and play. See if you have any graphical issue with it.

I've played this game with ePSXe v1.7.0 + OGL2 v2.9 with no such graphical issues.

Also, it should be a good idea to follow basic troubleshooting such as updating your display device drivers and other drivers, and do some maintenance to your computer.

 

Well i went to go configure the soft pluggin (i just downloaded the new version) and it said windows had an error, i had to close it down etc,

ALSO this may be related but before i go to video it says This application has failed to start because WNASPI32.dll was not found. Re-Installing the application may fix this problem.
i hit ok and another eror pops up with weird symbols and letters, then i get to the video thing, after that i hit configure on the soft pluggin and EPSXE.exe has encountered a problem, and needs to close, and its got the Send error report, adn dont send. soooo thats what happenss

 

in the GUI go to run>enable logs, then start it up like normal and post what it says in the DOS-style box as it might give specifics on the error and whatever has caused it. as for the .dll thing, you can get the file it says is missing here.

 

actualy trying to solve a totaly different problem, i already used that and fixed the 15 errors it allows for me..id need to buy the full version to fix it all

What 15 errors, from what thing to buy?! ?!

You only needed to get a file from that site.... just one file. >.>

And, there's something wrong... with the memcards now?
(someone has its computer pretty messed up)

This is the file you needed, it's from Nero 8 => Winaspi.dll [rar]
Get it, and put the dll in your main ePSXe folder.
(you'll have to extract the dll from the rar file)

 

The memory cards are fine, well for what i use them for

ALSO sorry to add more stacking to problems, at the first deus fight, the music played, my gears still moved, but deus stoped. now it may be a one time thing, but im gonna see what happens tomrow, bececause im tired and rather not go through all the story line stuff again. so as i said it may be nothing and i think i might remember it hapening last time, but again we will see tomrow

and im not the one who put the stuff on here, so i have no idea what they did, maybe when they come back i can talk to them, but im doin the best i can, im just learning on how to do all this (obviously) but yeah it is messed up, and i need a new computer, but dont have the money :/

 

About DEUS stuff....

=> Troubleshooting FAQ - READ THIS FIRST BEFORE YOU POST!! (scroll down and you'll find...)

In Xenogears, at the first fight with Deus on disc 2, it keeps crashing.

• This is one time when you have to use save states--check out Rockfire's writeup on how to finish the battle and if you have any other questions, send him a PM.

 

Your memory cards will not save, according to the logger info posted, to fix this, go into the memory card settings and save/select the memory card in the folder.

 

they had that problem at one point, but they actualy do save

(and besides i dont use them except to switch disks in the case of xenogears, and they worked fine)
