I need some help with configuring Legend of Dragoon

[Sabastian]

Ok, well I have ePSXe and I'm trying to run Legend of Dragoon. I got it to work sort of well, I just don't know what to set the fps to, also there is no sound during cinematic scenes... Could somebody tell me what I need to do?

P.S. I'm using the Pete's Open GL2 Driver 2.7 video plugin

Use D3D drivers.
Like Pete's D3D driver.
Opengl drivers suck on old computers when running ePSXe.
And use EPSXe SPU core 1.5.2 for ur sound plugin and make sure Enable Sound, Enable CDDA Sound and Enable XA sound is checked.
Set ur FPS to like 60

you need to use the eternal spu 1.41 with these settings along with the top 3 out of the 4 boxes checked off in the spu selection menu:

audio device- directsound
buffer size- 64
audio-out method- thread
all 3 special game fixes enabled
"wait for XA buffer is free" enabled under the "misc" section
neill's reverb

if you are playing from an image, you need to make sure that it is in the correct format, those being .ccd/.img/.sub, .bin/.cue or mdf/mds. avoid .iso because it does not store subchannel data which is needed for games to work correctly. if you are playing from the disk, use the ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.5.2 plugin and make sure subchannel reading from disk is enabled in its config. if you are experiencing any visual glitches, post the settings for your video plugin.

Thanks guys, that sound problem was a lot easier to fix than I thought it would be

i have eternal with those settings, and i had a cinematic earlier run with no sound; not only that but on the world map after battles the sound will drop unless i go into the status menu

using a .bin image if that matters

[jonc2006]

do you have a .cue file that goes with the .bin?

[suspectXI]

yeah, i have 1 for all the .bins

[jonc2006]

does it show the same behavior when playing from the disc?

[suspectXI]

i cant get it to run on the disc, none of the plugins would work right with my drive so i had to use an image

Alright guys...So I have been playing LoD all week. Everyone has their final addition and dragoon magic. Just got to disc 4. Tried to play this morning..AVG decides that Epsxe has a virus. Now it won't let me run epsxe 1.6 at all. v 1.5.2 seems to be looking ok though. I can't seem to get it to run. Whenever I do I just get a black screen. I've googled around for about an hour trying to fix it via other peoples problems but I am just having some of my own. Can someone please help me out?

[hanibal81]

And what did AVG did exactly,,,did ePSXe 1.6.0 deleted/healed what!!!

A solution for all cases,,,you D***,,,NOT ANSWERING WHILE LOGGED ON,,,:

1- SCAN your PC fully with AVG.

2- Re-download ePSXe v1.6.0 from ePSXe SITE.

3- Get the ePSXe.exe file from the compressed file and copy it to the previous ePSXe folder (where yours was),,,and there you go...

----- [NOTE] ----
You can copy the ePSXe.exe v1.6.0 into the folder contains ePSXe v1.5.2,,,but you have just to name it to (ePSXe v1.6.0.exe OR ePSXe_new.exe,,,or whatever you want).

[Crispis]

I already tried that before posting here. I've tried everything I know to get it to work. That is why I am asking for help here

OK,,,what was that warning MSG that AVG shows when runninig ePSXe.exe v1.6.0?

[Crispis]

AVG says that there is a Trojan horse Generic 10.WAH

When I try and run ePsxe is "Windows cannot access the specific device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

[hanibal81]

OK,,,is that the only program/case you got the MSG for or at each attempt to run any exe file!!

[Crispis]

That is the only message I get when running v 1.6

I can run v 1.5.2 .. well at least open it. When I try and load LoD The screen just goes black and stays that way without any sound.

[hanibal81]

OK,,,Infection is done,,,is done,,,,What to do now :

1- Scan ur PC in total (complete scan),,, try using (AVG/AVAST + Trojan Remover) that will help...

2- After you cleared the infection, Now get this tool and clear your ePSXe configuration data stored in your system registry , and than start from the beginig (re-download, extract&copy than configure ePSXe),,,unless you've saved your configuration data somewhere else (use ePSXeCutor instead to do so)...

3- If the last step wont work,,,than get a clean system (RE-Install OS, ePSXe....etc)..

Thats all what i can do for you,,,sorry!!

[Crispis]

Thanks hanibal81 but after I did everything you said..When I try to extract it AVG just says that the ePsxe has a virus in it and won't run. Is there anything I can do to get it to work on v 1.5.2?

[hanibal81]

Don't get fooled by AVG,,,well,,,Now can you tell me which version of AVG using,,and do you keep updating it,,,and what is the security level u did set for it?

and Are you downloading from official website,,,or using other ways!!
