Windows xp compatability

TrueKaiser · November 12th, 2001

ok i read the faq and got no help from that, i emailed a project member he told me to use a windows 2000's compatible cd-rom plugin, that didn't work ether.
i just want to know if anyone has had a problem with espxe and windows xp.

No problems here. Have you tried running games as an ISO? You didn't really specify what problem, exactly, you're experiencing.

**liquid** · November 12th, 2001

no problems here either and I've been running ePSXe in XP for sometime now.
what is the specific problem you are expirencing? if you don't have enough room on your hardrive to make an ISO, you might want to give pete's CDT 1.7 a try, just be sure to disable CDDA in the sound options.

or try installing Force ASPI, since XP doesn't have an ASPI layer included at all.

I use the internal ePSXe cdrom plugin, it gives me the best performance on XP.

Palom · November 12th, 2001

I forgot about the ASPI drivers. The ones I downloaded are from Goldenhawk if you want to try that. Actually, I use the Adaptec ASPI drivers--but it's easy to grab 'em from Goldenhawk.

If you just upgraded to WinXP, you have to delete the registry settings for EPSXE. once you do, when you load EPSXE, the configuartion wizard will load up. go through the configuration, using Petes 1.7 CD Rom plugin, and you should be set to go

You might also have problems if you use a Voodoo 3 (4,5) card.

The 3dfx Drivers Windows XP provides are not working correctly.

You can find better (although not official) drivers on the net.

You will get some strange error messages, but it will work 100%.

I have been running ePSXe on XP since the beta release. The only problem I had was with the cd plug-in. You will need to use the internal cd plug-in. If this does not work try uninstalling and reinstalling. Hope this helps.

Well, I've tested the Voodoo XP drivers to work fine in ePSXe, although, it may crash your PC at random (rare) and crash when quitting or changing display modes, and Alt + Tab is not possible either. At least Glide works, put it that way.

TrueKaiser · November 13th, 2001

ok it crashs saying no aspi layer found.
and xp won't let me install any iso makeing program for some odd reason.
no i did a full install

Install the force aspi,problem should be solved.
Here is the link from our great NGEMU site itself.

I've just installed xp today and epsxe worked fine with none of these force aspi updates..

TrueKaiser · November 13th, 2001

thank you prafull that force aspi stuff works.
i needed a working emulator because my older brother is barrowing my playstation.

valeryan · November 13th, 2001

Err I know I said above that it ran fine for me and it did untill I tried using PEC at which point it freaked and I had to remove epsxe to stop an error message which said something like "some important gpu plugin stuff is missing and your emu will crash now"
Now when reinstalling manually or with the installer I also get that error..
Any ideas anyone ?
Im going to remove all traces of epsxe from the registry and see if that solves it but I still could use some help with that error/and the PEC error please

Same problem as above just a differnet error message. Install the aspi layer as linked above. (At least that works on my win 2k box)

I think we have a pattern forming here

JAZ · November 16th, 2001

Thanks for that Betamax it seems to have solved it

Greetings,

First, Im glad to see that ePSXe works with winXP. I am about ready to format my harddrive, and intend to load a new operating system (tired of win98 and all its faults)

One thing that troubles me specifically is the lack of performance of my All In Wonder Radeon under winXP. From the benchmarks I saw sometime ago, it took quite the performance hit. Does anybody know if this has changed at all recently?

Last, CIoud, did you draw that picture yourself? If you did, you are one hell of a talented artist, and I would love to see more of your work. Got an URL?

Sincerely,
TastEPlasma
