Help setting up Grandia I for Sony Playstation 1

[aGMike]

I do not know if this is the games problem or the emulator or just plain my fault but I cannot get the game to work. I downloaded the PSX_1.3 emulator for ps1.

I really need help. I would like to relive my childhood by playing Grandia again. If anyone can tell me a step by step way in order to get Grandia on my PC that would be very much helpful. For example if you could show me an emulator I need to get and the right CD/ROM to get and tell me how to set it up that would be awesome. I am sorry I am very new to all this. Thank you so much in advance

Well, we can't tell you exactly where to get the game, but I can tell you right now that google can be your best friend, just look up the game and add on to it "ISO". There should be no problems finding a download. if you have any more difficulties just come by again and ask.

Could you explain to me what "Adding it on the ISO" means. I am new to the emulator thing. I did find a download about 473 mb for first CD. Thanks for the help so far but I need some further explaining.

Thanks

since you found the game, that part doesn't quite matter, I was just suggesting that you search for the game like "(Game) Iso Download" Since you already found the game in question, just download it. If you already downloaded it, all you got to do is to open pSX and load the ISO. If it ends up being a file that ends with .ECM, you would decrypt it with ECM tools (http://www.neillcorlett.com/cmdpack/) so it becomes a regular ISO file. If you have any more questions, just ask.

Thank you very much I will do that when I get home. I am at school atm :P

I will let you know if I have any more questions....

Thanks

Also, don't forget to search for the Playstation bios file, all psx emulators need it.

Okay so I searched that up and it turns out that the one I download is appearently an ISO but it shows up in a ZIP. So I need to get a Playstation bios file? If I were to get one how would I implement it.

[Mupen64 Man]

If you get a hold of one, you would put it in the "Bios" folder in PSX.

Alright so im at the bios download thing now I am unsure of which one to get. There are 4 options

PSX BIOS Pack (15 Images) 3.8Mb
PS One BIOS 470Kb
PSX_Bios_41a.zip 279Kb
PSX_Bios_SCPH1001.zip

Which one should I get ?

get the 4th option
