Guide to set up pSX v1.13

[Mupen64 Man]

Hello! This will be a guide on how to setup the emulator pSX. First thing you got to do is download
it. You can download it by clicking this link: pSX (http://www.emulator-zone.com/download.php/emulators/psx/psx_em/pSX_1_13.rar)

Once you have downloaded the emulator, extract it with Winrar.

Once you have extracted pSX, Open up the folder and double-click on the pSX Icon.
if this message pops up when you try to start up the program,

Download d3d9_26.dll and place it in the pSX folder. You can download it here: d3dx9_26.zip (http://www.dll-files.com/d3dx9_26.zip?0WFdRBYLmT)

Another thing that you will need is a Playstation BIOS. I cant provide you with the bios image
because it is against the Emulator-Zone TOS, but I can tell you to go to google and just search
"Playstation BIOS Download". Once you have downloaded it, place it into the BIOS folder.

Now that is all set up, We will set up the memory card. First, open up pSX and go to
File->Configuration.

Once it us Open, click on the "Memory Cards" tab. and click on the "..." button underlined below.
Once pressed, Type in the name you want your memory card to be and click "Open" After that window
closes, press apply.

After you've done all of that, you should be ready to go! If there are any additional questions,
please post below, I'll be around. :)

Oh!! I see. Thank you so much I did not extract it properly hahaha. Alright I am going to try to go into the game, go to a save point, save it, exit the emulator and see if I can load it again. Wish me luck! :) I'll post back if it works or does not.

[aGMike]

Awesome it did indeed work. Thank you so very much. :)

Is it against forum rules to keep posting here if I have any more problems or should I make a new thread?

[Mupen64 Man]

Nope, it isn't against the rules. Glad it works!

[testmachine]

Excellent guide Mupen64Man.Either you forgot or you did not want to post the keyboard config,and graphics config.No offense man.Thumbs Up

[Remdi]

Just curious but, where can i get the games to play it with?

[Sonic riders zero]

This is against the rules don't ask for roms and games go find it yourself

[koeswirawan]

uummm, i still don't get it about the BIOS, what is that?

[VintageTorrie]

The BIOS is *basically* the console's operating system. It is required to use the emulator.

That is a Conficker.worm virus.I'm afraid you'll have to reinstall your OS.

[magalhaesvilela]

Hey guys, I'm facing problems with the memory card for PSX 1.13 too. I'm playing Xenogears and every time I try to save, I get this msg telling that the saving attemp has failed. So I tryed another game (Tomba!) and it accused that there was a need to format the memory card. I did it and saved the game. So |I tryed again with Xenogears, but no success. I thought that the problem is in the game image, but I used other emulator and it was ok to save (but the emulator was not running the game nicely). So, what to do?

[Mupen64 Man]

Magal, you should perhaps check if the .bin save file is "read-Only". You can check that by right-clicking the file and go to "properties". If it ends up being read-only, uncheck the box that says so, and press okay. It happens sometimes when I am playing off my flash drive.

[megafilipe]

pretty weak guide.. could you also show how to set up the best graphical configuration and etc?

[ehee]

pSX is easy to configurate.

graphics: bilinear, frame skipping and vsync (for windowed and full screen too) on

sound: frequency to "Same as emulated machine", latency and XA latency between 10 and 20 ms, reverb+sync+interpolate on. Device set to your sound card (sometimes bad sounds from windows primary sound controler).

[testmachine]

, frame skipping and vsync

Actually frame skipping isn't neccesary (Only for slower computers),but Vsync is for faster computers,as it synchronises frames so that there isn't any frame chopping.

How do I configure the plugins?

[ulaoulao]

pSX is not plugin based? This topic is about the pSX emulator, what emulator do you need help with?

[Mupen64 Man]

Maybe one of us should make an up-to-date guide for setting up ePSXe, but I don't have the time right now.

I might do that,in my free time.I'll consider it. :)

[Mupen64 Man]

Sounds like a plan then. ;D I'll make sure to sticky it if you do end up doing it. :)

Okay man.I will do it now or then.School's been taking very much of my time.

I just made it.Look at it in the Sony section! :D

Hi folks - Really struggling with pSX at the moment. I've got it running games fine, but whenever I try and save, the game freezes completely. The emulator itself doesn't freeze - I can still click the 'File', 'Quicksave' and 'Debug' tabs, but I get no response from the game itself.

I've made sure that the memory card files are not read only. I'm running windows 8. Tried it in Administrator mode and without. Also tried it in compatibility mode with XP. Same result every time. Any ideas? Any help will be greatly received! :)

[Mupen64 Man]

To be honest windows 8 might be the problem, from what I hear it isn't too emulator friendly.

You should install a fresh copy of windows 7.Just as Mupen64Man said,windows 8 isn't very user friendly (And it's a load of crap!).
Compatibility mode won't help.The only option is to install either a fresh windows 7 copy or a Windows XP copy.Your choice!

Quick question, I know it is stupid but....
How do I run the roms after downloading them?

[Mupen64 Man]

If they are in a compressed form, decrompress with Winrar, or 7zip. Then you would select the uncompressed file with the emulator, then presto.

[CLrandom]

hi thanks for this guide but i have further questions :) i don't know if this question will sound dumb to you or anyone but where should i put my downloaded game? and should it be a zip file or should i extract it? i need some assistance, thanks!!!

[CLrandom]

ow i see thanks! but is there a specific folder for the uncompressed file to be placed?

[Mupen64 Man]

Nope, you can put it anywhere on your computer, and all you got to do is go to that location when you search for the file on the emulator. :)

Thanks

[Takahisa]

OMG!!! THANK-YOU SO F*CK*NG MUCH!!!!
I've been playing around with ePSXe (Plugins and settings) for a fair while now... but could never get FF7 working properly...
i try this emu, and it works, no setup required! (well, besides the memory cards, controller and bios)

Thank-you so much for this, you have made my week! :D
(Now to find a working ps2 emu :) (Roll on FFX! :D )

[Mupen64 Man]

You're welcome pal, glad it worked for ya. :)

[K/D/S]

hi, so recently, like last week, i got the pSX v1.13, i downloaded spiderman 2000 on it and it is running fine. Today however, i was getting ready to play it, i clicked on "load state" and loaded a save i had, and while waiting for it to load this red light came on. And since it was taking quite a while i crossed out and tried again, same thing happened. (If you need pics pls pm me as i am having trouble with the site)

Thx for your time

[Raigeki]

Hi there,

First and foremost, apologies for digging up an old thread, and second, nice to meet you all!

I'm not completely illiterate when it comes to tech or emulation, although I've run into some trouble with PSXFIN (pSX 1.13). I'm trying to configure an Xbox One controller to use as my default controller port but I can't seem to get anything to work. I've tried the controller with ePSXe205 and it works fine. The buttons map perfectly and there's no lag between inputs. The thing is, I want my emulator to be as light as possible on my CPU, which I why I opted to use pSX 1.13 rather than ePSXe205.

Does anybody have any guidance for me? It would be much appreciated!

Hello, I am using pSX v.1.13 and I would like to know how to set up 4:3 on fullscreen. I have tried to go to "Configuration - Graphic" and set up 4:3 in "Aspect Ratio", but it doesn not work. Can you help me? Thank you.

[Grxxnranger]

Does anyone know how to save on psx when playing digimon world 3 I can't start the game with out saving and everytime I try to save it tells me Memory Card is not formatted. :(

[johnwalker21]

Thank you for sharing this setup guide. It was helpful.

[GreenBanana]

There are at least two errors persistent in the latest version of pSX v1.13 (aside from a very nonspecific emulator name which is difficult to search for). One, the controller type has to be repeatedly set depending upon which game is being played, rather than auto-detecting the control input. Two, the memory card files have a limited size and need to be inconveniently swapped out once "full", despite such file size limitations not existing on the hardware the emulator runs on. Both these issues are not only unintuitive for the end user, but rather awkward in their present implementation.

[johnsmith]

Very helpful guide...
