Black screen problem!

[ender241]

Whenever i run a game i get a black-screen help!

I'll get back to you, I'm currently on the phone to the Psychic hotline to find out what game, emulator, system you're talking about. While I'm there I'll ask them what operating system you're using, what your PC hardware is, etc, etc.

I am using
Windows XP home
Google chrome
Geforce 7300 LE graphics card
i don't know what else you need to know about my computer
im using:
EPSXE
Pete's D3D Driver 1.77
EPSXE SPU core 1.7.0

Anything else you need to know?

EDIT - i would know more but i'm not very good with computers :P

Is it just one particular game or all games?.

[ender241]

All games, sadly...

[ender241]

I still haven't fixed this...

Try using an older version of your emulator and don't boot the ISO directly from emulator. It doesn't work sometimes (at least for me). Mount the ISO with a mounting sofware such as Alcohol.

Most likely issue is your graphics card having some incompatibility with the (rather old) graphics plugin you're using.

Download the latest version of the PSX emulator (1.13). try your games with that. If that works you can rule out any issues with your ISO's, Direct X or your graphics card and you know its just the Graphics plug-in. In which case you can then go back to ePSXe and try some different graphics plug-ins (Peops is usually good) to find one that works with your hardware.

I personally prefer PSX over ePSXe anyway. Its marginally more accurate, much more compatible across the board, takes virtually no tweaking or setting up and with the bilinear filter enabled the games look great.

I tried PSX before i can't get that to work, it keeps saying cannot find bios folder
