Dragon Warrior VII~!

[TheKingDon]

I've tried everything, and I can't get it to run. I always get a black screen when I start. I checked the "DW7 Fix" special option in Pete's OpenGL plugin, but nothing works. Help!?

Did u try ePSXe 1.5.2? Different plugins?

I played DQ VII on ePSXe and it worked...

This one is same as DQIV ,so your DQVII should work fine.

Hey, every time I try to enter Hamelia, to hear the old bard, the old man starts playing, and then my game freezes. (while stuck on that last note)

What is my problem?

[Kioras]

For Hamelia, I had to play with the various sound options, I think i had to turn it off.

I have a problem, I just beat the final boss and my PSE on 1.60 crashes, and will not let me get past that.

[jonc2006]

post your plugins and settings for them. what are you playing from the cd or an image?

[Kioras]

I got around the issue, I had to go to version 1.5 of the emulator to get past that one part, do a save state and then continue.

For some reason, when checking the forumn that is a common crash point, right after beating the final boss.

[jonc2006]

be careful with save states, while they are convinent in some places, you still might want to keep a file on one of your memory cards just in case. trust me on this one, dont rely on save states alone if you catch my drift.

[Kioras]

Oh yah, I know that, especially since i am an early convert to RPG's, and follow the SESO principle since the mid 80's. Try losing progress in a game that takes 5 minutes to load to opening screen on an apple ][e.

Save states are great for dungeons, and xp sesions, just need to save regularly anyways, incase you get in a situation where you SS right before a 100% crash.

But their appears to be some sort of compatibility issue with Dragon Warrior 7 on 1.60 that isn't there on 1.5.

[jonc2006]

yes and there are quite a few games that just dont work well under 1.60, so i suppose this is one of them. what i do is i have both 1.5.2 and 1.6.0 saved onto my drive for situations like this.
