A little help...?

[mogg3]

Hey, im quite new to this, wich may be the reason why it aint workin...
I dl'ed the epsxe (spelling?) emulator, configged it as the guide on this page said, and now i try to play FFIX from the cdromdriver. It works as far as the emulator finds the game and starts playing it (or sumthin like that) but then I get a black screen, and nothing else happens, unless i press esc, then the game exits.
Anyone know what I can do to make it work?

What's your PC hardware?

[mogg3]

umm... what do u mean?
like... win XP pro, 256 RAM, 1ghz cpu and geforce 2 u mean? ^_^

[onewecallgod]

yeah that should be enough to emulate ps1

[mogg3]

Sounds like fun, the more funny thing would be if I COULD play games without getting the black screen...

[nesman]

Someone else had that problem...

[cromtom]

I'm also getting that problem. If anyone finds the solution pls post it.
Thanks to all.

I get a black screen if I try to play a game from a cd. Try making an image of the game and run it from there.

i had a problem too with that
your disc if its burend your files are curropted or somthin
cuz i had files downloaded of web site and burend them and i got a black screen
on my ePSXe when i tryed to play them
so i barrowed the same game that i downloaded before, from a friend then used it and it worked

How do one make images of the cd then?
BTW, its a "real cd" not copied or anything

Sometimes I find that an image will work better than the cd itself, and visa-versa(sp?)

[nesman]

If you use a CD, it will take longer to load a game since you have to wait for the drive to spin. But a CD image doesnt wait for the CD drive to spin so I usually prefer the CD image.

[mogg3]

Yay, I made an image, and im coming a bit closer to my goal for playing, now the whole screen gets black, instead of a small window...

Maybe its time for me too goof around with the video config and stuff...

[WellWellWell]

Yeah, you probably should've done that before you even asked.

Try posting your video plugins and sound plugins. Or maybe you can work yourself out of this problem if you read this http://forums.emulator-zone.com/index.php?showtopic=1982
