does fm3 work?

Exodus · January 16th, 2002

i tried to get front mission 3 to work, but the game will stop at the "...now loading" screen. Is epsxe compatible with FM3 in the first place?

Hello everyone.
Have you try starting ePSXe with the '-nogui' command line?

Exodus · January 16th, 2002

how would i change it?

Hello everyone.
You can use 'run' at the taskbar, or you can change the shortcut at your Windows. Start it by typing 'epsxe.exe -nogui'. I can't remember if there is any space between them or not, but you can try it both.

The "-nogui" commandline worked in older versions of ePSXe, but for 1.4.0 you need to use "-cdtiming" (aka Accurate CD-ROM Timing) to get it running. Also, remember to enable the special game fix called "PC FPS Calculation" in Pete's Plugins, or the gameplay will be too slow.

Hello everyone.
Thanks for the correction, Badaro.

well, i did try to add -nogui but that didn't work so i will try adding "-cdtiming" next time i try. also, will PC FPS Calculation fix the battle loading problem i get in Chrono Cross?

Not likely, "PC FPS Calculation" screws up timing for most games. What's your problem with CC? A few more details, please.

thanks Badaro, the "-cdtiming" made FM3 work. As for chrono cross battles, the game will initiate a battle and then will go black as if it were loading, but it will load for a long time. Eventually the battle will start as normal, but its a pretty long wait.

Try this:

- Set "Framebuffer Textures" to "Black" in Pete's Plugins

If it doesn't help, it's probably a CD reading issue, so try running the game from an ISO and see if there's any improvement.
