Valkyrie Profile getting stuck

[hagbard]

This looks to be PSXeven, so it might an emulator bug. Perhaps ePSXe 1.5.2 , or other GPU plugin works better: Peops soft GPU should work. Also would be god to know about the plugins you're using

[Surtur]

hmmm sorry doesn't work either, even with ePSXe 1.5.2 or higher version or the Plug-Ins you recommended.

Is there any way to get some kind of pre-set emulator?

Tomorrow I'll try deeply Valkyrie Profile.

Weird, as I never had that kind of that problem with ePSXe 1.6.0 on that game (both version, Japanese and English).

What did you do before that screen showed up?

[Surtur]

well I used ISO-Buster to get the ISO files from my Download, I loaded all the plug-ins, that were recommended here. startet the ePSXe and used the Wizard Guide.

Then I chose run ISO.

The game started , as is well so far.

In the game's first menu screen I choose: New Game --> difficulty : Normal

the the "Retry" symbol appears.

Try to mount it with Daemon-Tools. I doubt it had something to do with 'CD reading failure'.

[Surtur]

I just don't get it, it still doesn't work... Am I too dumb?

[hagbard]

I'd delete the whole registry entries of ePSXe, with regedit. It's documented on the help file

I don't think it had something to do with the registry but the CD or CD image itself failed......

Hmmm, BIOS' faulty maybe?

[hagbard]

Maybe, imho it's also good to check another BIOS although ePSXe authors talk about an emulation bug more than that. Anyway, SCPH-1001 and SCPH-7502 are the most recommend because have been mainly tested. Since some people is having the same problem looks to me an emulator/plugin problem though (they might got the mame image dump but who knows)
