[PSX] Fighter Maker won't run

[-=VampyR=-]

Yep...I ran into a PSX problem myself.


1.Emulator ePSXe 1.6.0
2.Fighter Maker disc image
3.Have tried all video plugins and audio plugins
4.All other games work perfect with my ePSXe setup
5.Tried RUN -> ISO,RUN CD (image mounted with Daemon Tools)

problem: THE GAME FREEZES AFTER 4 SECONDS OF RUNNING.

So,the game boots OK,if I'm fast I can press Start and launch New Game...not more you could do in 4 seconds.The display is correct but FREEZES.

What can I do ? Is this game known to cause problems ?

Did you try it with PSXeven, SSSPSX, pSX or Xebra? I'll try it later for you if I remember

No.
If you don't have a solution to ePSXe,I'll try it sometime with PSXeven.
I don't roll with the others you mentioned.

I won't try then

That's the spirit!
I just saved you some time.

Worthless testing, it's not the same game . Yours it's named "3D Kakutou Tsukuru" on NTSC-J / "Fighter Maker" NTSC-U, and don't have this one

THIS is your game.

Ok, thanks You won a free test:

ePSXe: hangs after a few seconds, as you said
PSXeven: quits emulation while loading the character select screen:

FATAL ERROR: Invalid PC: 0x7f08087e
ERROR: Reserved opcode being called : 0x 50FF0 !!!! @0x7f080882
-- emu released due to error --
* Ended.

SSSPSX: crashes the emulator almost instantlly
Xebra: Hangs after the standard PSX game detected screen * (usually omited on most emulators, but not on the real PSX)
pSX: Shows the character select screen, then hangs when the game starts

* The game I got have the PSX loading screen hacked, it shouldn't affect emulation but you never know...
