Black Screen on ePSXe

[HouseQuake]

Im having allot of trouble getting ePSXe started. I installed all plugins as I read on the forum, I got the correct BIOS because when I do run BIOS I come in the menu. But when I load my ff9 disc I just get black screen and nothing happens. I tried making a ISO out of it (maybe that made difference) but I get same black screen then. I hope somone can help me because I really wanna play ff9!!! thanks in advance!

Final Fantasy 8 and 9 need patches, best to get them here, just put them in the patches folder and use P.E.Op.S. CDR Driver 1.4 plugin, click on the option use ppf patch file and then browse for the patch.

You need to be a bit more specific. Did you read the "configuring ePSXe" sticky?

God of War, i thought that was for PS2 (PCSX2)

I'm working on a laptop with a broken CD drive, and I'm having the same problem with the ISO, and the patch linked above appears to be used only for playing the game if you're running the CD on your computer.

What does this patch do? I'm currently playing Final Fantasy IX without any patch and I'm on disc 2 already.

They remove the copy protection so the game can be played. Only the PAL versions of FF8 & FF9 need the patch. Without the patch you get a black screen/a locked screen when trying to play the game.
