Can't find bios?

ShumiTribe · November 10th, 2003

Hi

When I start the Wizard Configuration or Run Bios, I get the message that no bios was found in epsxe/bios map, altough there is one (and set in 'Bios'). I don't get it

ultima528 · November 10th, 2003

you need the psx bios.. you have to dump it from your psx that you own

**hushypushy** · November 10th, 2003

what bios are you trying to run?

ShumiTribe · November 10th, 2003

scph7502.bin

ShumiTribe · November 11th, 2003

Tried to change the maps name with small fonts. It won't work. And the Video config. doesn't work either; can't select a plugin. I downloaded PEOPS GPU first and now I have Lewpy's Glide. What am I doing wrong?

REi_FoX · November 11th, 2003

did you out all the plugins in the PLUGINS floder and the BIOS to the BIOS folder???

ShumiTribe · November 11th, 2003

yep, everything in its place

I own a playstation how do i get my bio's off the PS?
(step by step plz im a noob)

dpence · November 11th, 2003

ok, Are you running it from a shortcut?? If so in the shortcuts properties make sure the run in field is the path to the folder epsxe is in (I.E. "C:\epsxe"), if it isn't then it will look on the desktop for the plugin/bios folders... I have encountered this issue before.

Fallen · November 11th, 2003

Q: How do I dump a PlayStation BIOS?
A: To dump a PlayStation BIOS, you need a GameShark or Action replay and a PC comms link. To start, you need either a real Caetla module or go to altavista and search for "Caetla" (it's a BIOS replacement for your module, so properly read the included documentation before installing it!!). Now upload "Caetla", and use use the caetla commands for downloading a binary memory image from the region 0x0bfc00000 - 0x0bfc7ffff! Now save the image as SCPHxxxx.bin, where xxxx is your PSX's model number, and ePSXe will recognise it and use it from now on.

Allrighty! BIOS is running. Downloaded SCPH9001. I hope the game will run also. I'll let ya know

**hushypushy** · November 12th, 2003

well if not scph1001 is what i recommend.

ShumiTribe · November 12th, 2003

All is running. The biggest problem seemed to be my patience. EPSXE needs a minute after starting up. Guess the program needs to collect the plugins, etc. first. Btw: I read somewhere that scph9001 is recommended for PAL (if the emulator accept it that is).
Thanks for all the help guys!

See ya!

**hushypushy** · November 13th, 2003

BIOSes arent region specific...basically its just compatibility with the game AFAIK. so far, scph1001 and 7502 seem to be the clear winners.

ShumiTribe · November 18th, 2003

EPSXE needs more than a minute, about 5 to 10. If I try to run something earlier I get message he can't find bios or that config is not complete (referring to Config>Video). Is it normal that it takes this long?

November 21st, 2003

No that is not normal. ePSXe should start right up and go into your game straight away. If you are waiting a minute or, God forbid, 5 or ten minutes then something is most definately wrong. I can't say for sure what is wrong but SOMETHING (for emphasis not shouting) is wrong. I'm using the bios from the PSOne (the new small PSX) and ePSXe starts up immediately for me, every time.
As for which bios is recommended, the 7502 is recommended by the ePSXe authors, themselves, as being the most compatable. After that it is the 1001 bios.
sincerely,
sx/amiga

i use scph101.bin (the PSOne) with no problem. i recommended it. btw, have you run defragmenter and scandisk/chkdisk? maybe your HD is heavily defragmented.

ShumiTribe · November 22nd, 2003

I'll try to get other bios then. But a new problem occured; baught a psx-usb converter and installed it. WinXP finds the new hardware, installs by itself and says the hardware is ready to use (liar!). What should happen is that I install the drivers, sent with the product, myself. When I try doing so, he says no better driver has been found

Now I can't use the gamepad in ePSXe. Please help...

bonehead · November 22nd, 2003

epsxe 1.6.0 seems to have some problems with bioses

. ex: my scph7502.bin (perfectly working and recognized as such by epsxe 1.5.2) is now recognized as scph9002.bin

(it doesn't affect compatibility, but I found it strange)
