Hopes that's work!!!

[Shakitcali]

hey hoyoyo or anyone else, i have the same problem as dust who also had the same problem fanjun99...the *** black screen at the movie screen! except my fmv's used to work last night (for every game including ff9) and now no fmv's work for any game...and i dont think i changed any settings!

anyways i am using pete's opengl 1.51 (just upgraded from 1.50) and using a geforce2mx...can u help me...hoyoyo...got any settings for me to try?

thx and plz help me!

[hoyoyo80]

Let me look at it first!!!

[Zster]

This was answered before I'm sure. It's caused by using savestates to fix it save the game using a memcard at a point before the hang. Exit Epsxe, restart, change to the correct bios version, reload using a memcard save game and the correct bios. Finally make sure you boot up using the disk that the FMV is on. This will hopefully help your problem

[Shakitcali]

well the blank screen comes up at the beginning of the game...so i have no save state! hmmm the fmv's did work the other day but not now...and im sure i didnt change anything.

i am using petes opengl 1.51, iora direct sound, and epsxe cd driver...but the sound works on other games and the cd is ok...the wierd thing is everything works except for fmvs (this is for any game). Please help me someone!

[Zster]

Sorry about that but the only details in the post refered to an earlier mail so I assumed it was the other problem (Sherlock Homes would be most upset with me). Another suggetion is to go back to a previous version (1.2.0) and go to the MDEC option box (which was removed in the latest version of Epxe) and enable accurate MDEC timing and see if that works.

[Betamax]

you can also enable mdec using the epsxcutor program

[hoyoyo80]

Hey betamax, i still having epsxe1.0.1 installed on my system, so i don't have to worry about the mdec...but u say using executor and enabling the mdec option can fix this so we have to make a specific config. for the games right? So when we use the regular epsxe for different games, do the mdec option still enable?...

[Dust]

i didm´t work, i´ll try with the version 1.20, also i want to say that i used vgs to run the game and only gave me sound infinite sound, well i ´ll try again by disabling the medecs. íll let you know

[Dust]

Now ffix is working, the thing i used it the executor, i enabled the mdecs, and mdec cd tiiming it work,thank you guys, later i´ll post a image of the executor configuration.!!!
