General ePSXe Setup and Configuration

Hello.
I'm new when it comes to emulators so forgive me if this queston has alredy been answered. I followed all instructions on the first page of the post but when i try to run the program i get an error message

"This application has failed to start because zlib1.dll was not found. Re-installing the appplication may fix this problem."

I've tryed redownloading it 3 times but i get the same thing.
Any help would be much apprecieated.

*Ah i found a fix on my own. I just had to do a google quest to find the file in question!*

I need some major help right here. I'm on step# 3: Configuring the video. When I click config to choose one of the plug-ins nothing happens. My computer chooses neither and I can't go any further. Anyone know what the problem is?.

hi all. as you see i registered today in here, looking for help with the ePSXe,
i successfully configured the emulator, did all the hard work, but there is only one problem.. icant start playing beacuse i cant find any game..lol so if someone can help i would aprreciate

So are u sayin that when u go to File>Run ISO nothin shows up? Or are u askin where to find ISOs?

Remember, the rules say that we cannot help you where to find the games. Google is your best bet and if you still can't find it then we are sorry but it is against the rules here to tell you where.

Yo guys

I've downloaded everythng it says here....

but i also had to download

xlib1.dll...

Since the plugings included in this are older..i have the newest versions of them...

When i run my ISO (final fantasy :ultima edition) i get these messages:

Gpupeteonengl2:Missing render texture extension

Peteopengl2:No pixel format found


Im not quite sure when im missing so are any of you able to tell me?

Cheers guys

It may have something to do with your display card. Post your PC specs. :)

Nevermind, got it fixed.

Anyway, to use an *original* FF9 PAL CD on ePSXe, you'll need the specific patches. Get only the files for your region (PAL UK). Then unzip the patches (.ppf) to ePSXe "patches" folder, then rename each one acording its respective CDs: In FF9 CD number 1 main folder there is a file named "SLES_029.69". Rename the .pff exactlly as that file, the same for the other CDs, but note the SLES_#.29.69 will have "1", "2", and "3" instead "#".
Don't forget to and leave them on the "patches" folder. Should load OK then ;)

Nvm this post, I downloaded PSXfin and it worked flawlessly right off the bat, none of this extra stuff missing

Hey, I just finished DL the epsxe as well as the plugins, now I'm at the step to open it, but I get the error "This application has failed to start because
zlib1.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

I've re-installing several times, and have not been able to get pass this step and am now unsure of what to do.

I'm having the same problem, except i'm not sure about the installation. Does it automatically install once you unzip? Thanks.

EDIT: Google search seems to help, hint hint for newbies like me.

hey, I'm a new guy here like everyone else that posts on this particular topic. I installed everything you listed, but when i go to open the psx, it says it can't find zlib1.dll I tried reinstalling it, but it still didn't work. I'm going to try to find it online, but I don't know where to put it if I'm able to find it. Any guesses, suggestions, etc?

How do i play eboot files with this program?

This is awesome! Much Obliged!! :bow::bow:

HELP!!!
I downloaded everything like I was supposed to but when I wen to go and start up the ePZXe program a message came up saying
'This application has failed to start because zlib1.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.' If anyone knows what going on please let me know.

Just the main ePSXe folder. :)

Try P.E.Op.S soft GPU plugin. If you're using save states then start a game from the beginning using the mentioned plugin.

Very nice tutorial,tanx.And one more question please...do you know how to install regular joypads,i have original sony joypads and also some usb wire to connect them to computer,but somehow i cant find option to activate them.Is there any at all?Thanks.

Hello people! Cool to be here. Lotsa nice info.

Anyway, I'm quite hesitant to start a thread for just one question. So here goes.

I am currently playing Breath of Fire 3, and I am experiencing lagging problems. The game slows down in random parts of the game - both video and audio. I've read somewhere here that in cases wherein the game is going too fast, the video config should be tweaked. Does it follow that I should I also do the same solution? Also, I'm not quite sure how to tweak these settings. It would really help if any of you would suggest ideal settings for my problem.

Thanks in advance. Really appreciate this. :D

You shoulda started your own thread for this, but w/e.
What are your system specs?
What plug-ins are you using?
Can you give us a screen shot of your graphic plug-in set up?

Hi Mystic. Thanks. Actually just a few minutes since I posted that query, I instantly fixed it on my own! Haha. Stupid me. I only had to try an another graphics plug-in. All's well... UNTIL I reached a certain point in the game.

There's a part in the game wherein Ryu (the game's protagonist) is asked to chop wood. And I, as the player, am required to use the Triangle button for Ryu to hack the wood. Btw, I assigned the Triangle button to letter W in the keyboard. There's a time limit for the challenge so I really have to hack as many wood as I can. And so the timer starts and I noticed, THE TRIANGLE BUTTON (W) DOESN'T WORK! I tried other buttons but to no avail. Until the game hangs up, and I am forced to quit the emulator. Right now, I'm starting to hunt for solutions but no luck yet.

So there. So much for the instant solution. Might as well try Vagrant Story while figuring out what to do.

Thanks thank thanks!

EDIT: I fixed it again. Sheesh. Really stupid me. Is there such a thing as an ULTIMATE plug-in? I'd really love to have that. LOL
