Hello,

Im trying to run games with emulators like adripsx and epsxe. Problem is, I could run only silent hill 1 with epsxe till now. All other games only result in a black screen with no change, so I have to click Escape. Adripsx means something like unsupportes mips cpu instruction. I have a athlon 64. What can I do to run the games?

Greetings,
Sebastian

are you sure you have the right plugins? having an A64 should havent interfere with the emulator. the rest of your full system specs?

For Example I have Petes 3 video-Plugins for d3d,dx6 and opengl. Then the 4 Soundplugins and bios 7502.

My System is an athlon64 with 1024mb ram(twinmos). Then win2k. Something more of interest?

Like I said. Silent Hill 1, was the only game that has run on my pc. All other only result in a black screen.

Greetings,
Sebastian

Whats the GPU? I cant find what that mens. Global Processing Unit? Like I said, its an Athlon64 3200+ with 2000MhZ.

Its the same with games in PAL and in NTSC. And epsxe should autodetect this. Its optioned this way. epsxe doesnt say a failure but shows black only and adri means unsupported mips cpu-instruction.

Actually - you need a different BIOS for NTSC and PAL games if I do recall correctly.

GPU = graphics processing unit (similar to CPU ;))

unsupported cpu instructions make no sense.... A64s are standard x86 cpus. think of it as an AMD XP with SSE2 and 64 bit instructions that arent used....

And for future reference - SPU (like GPU) is the sound processing unit. They both follow a similiar naming convention. Good terms to know. *thumbs up*

Different BIOS? Then I have to look if there are versions available in net. Maybe it will work.

What the failuremessage means I cant find. Something with inbuilt-grafik-commands AMD isnt using? I tried all three petes plugins, all the same.

I cant find different bios for pal and ntsc. The only bios seems to be a newer and an older bios. Seems to not run this way.

The one you probably need is SCPH1001.BIN. If you need it - just let me know (email). I'd be happy to help you out. But they are illegal so no links or such here.

I have found this bios in net but it didnt change. I used bios 7502 before, and before this an older bios like 5000 or 2000 or so.

Really dont know whats the matter. Anyone who runs emulator with similiar hardware for example same cpu?

SCPH1001.BIN is the most widely used and accepted BIOS. How big was it? There'a always a chance it's corrupt. You can never be to careful. :)

try to look for the 101 bios which is the psONE model. it might be compatible with some of your games if pal-ntsc makes any diference like guitar gamer said

It would make a difference if he were using the BIOS intended for NTSC games and was playing PAL games. The PAL BIOS is SCPH7502.BIN and the NTSC is SCPH1001.BIN. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. :)

Yes. Motherboard and GPU from MSI. This means there runs an application which automatically checks for new driver, bios and so on. All is the newest stand.
