Silent Hill

[Mich760]

When using Silent Hill on Epsxe it freezes at the "KCTE" Screen. Some users have said that disabling the memory cards makes it work BUT when that is done, it just freezes at the first title screen.

I even tried toggling the F4 key but still no luck.

Epsxe 1.4.0
Athlon 1Ghz with 384 Mb RAM, 32Mb TNT2 M64 AGP 4x
Windows XP Pro

Hopefully there will be a fix for this that really works. I tried everything thus far .

Issue :
This game have many terrible bugs, like GTE (the green lines like leaves), hangs on KCET logo, Speed slowdowns, wrong colour, etc

Status :
had it fixed on actual beta ?

Silent Hill works for me at the very first time and i didnt do anything with memory. Oh! No! I tHink aliens are invading our minds!

This works for me. I haven't ironed out a few speed problems between video and sound at certain stages, but it is playable using the following:

Video
OGL Renderer 1.11
Fullscreen
1600 X 1200 (32bit)
Texture Format: 32 bit (8-8-8-8)
All boxes ticked except Fast 'Ecel' mode (whatever that is!)
Activate frame limitation
(Play around with frame rate setting to suit yout system.gfx card's speed).

Sound
Pete's Dsound Driver V1.14
Volume: Medium
Enable XA
Change XA
High compatibility mode

I've encounter the same problem on that logo.

Please disable the "SIO irq always enable" in ePSXe's option menu.
After I disabled that featrue, the game works perfect.

I just want to note on this post that I have the same problem with ePSXe 1.5.0. I can get past that point on 1.4.0 though by disabling my second memory card. Once I make a savestate, I can use it to get by on ePSXe 1.5.0.

i have the state at the start-option screen but it is too big to attach here...

I got Silent Hill (NTSC) working by using the following config:

ePSXe 1.4
Pete's openGL 1.6
Eternal SPU 1.2

The trick was to delete the second memory card file.

At my PC and of course ePSXe 1.5.2 it works without any problems (ntsc version)

Near the beginning of the game, a bunch of leaves tend to pop out of nowhere and follow you around for a little bit.
