    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.

    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*
