EPSXE crashes on attempts to setup anything in the config

daemoncel · January 21st, 2003

EPSXE will crash on any attempt to configure anything, in the config menu, and it won't run anything if it's not configured. I get the following error:

This application has failed to start because WNASPI32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

my original guess was my Video Card (yes it's old), but then i remember that it was working before. (i got the NIMDA... yes ouch). so this is a fresh installation, with all the lastest WinUpdates.

any suggestions, info, or help is greatly appreciated.

no,...winaspi32 is an ASPI layer MS didnt install within most of its OS. get ForceASPI 1.7 and install it on your PC...that should get it working..

THANK YOU very much guys, it worked like a charm, now i've got a few more issues, but some of which i know i can fix (that's the best part ya know) but for some reason, my machine hangs on the Config Section for a few seconds, is that normal

I.E. if i click on video it'll hang for a bout 5-10 seconds then it'll go into the menu?

any ideas?

i'm running an XP 2100+ at 1.73 ghz (oc'd to 1.8ghz of course) with 256 megs on XP PRO with the Voodoo 3 2000 (once again, ouch)

1. (Off Topic) Which GPU Plugin are U using?
2. Do U have selected 95 or 98/ME compablility mode (in shortcut Propertises)?? That`s slow downs my ePSXe in few moments eg while exiting program...

1. Petes DX6 D3D Driver 1.68 (lewpy's won't work for me)
2. Nope no compatibility active on my machine. Hmm. it's not like it's hindering my use of the app, it's just annoying.

Sounds more like win, not ePSXe problem

BTW; AFAIK VooDoo cards aren`t officialy supported by WnXp, so maby tahat`s the problem?

Possibly. Try getting hold of one of the third party Voodoo driversets from somewhere like 3dhq.

the voodoo card, as old as it is, is doing great, it handles ***** cakewalk style. and i've got the 3d Underground app, it's the same app as the 3dHQ one. but thanks guys,
