need help

Stealth · April 8th, 2002

@first...Hi all

I am new to the emulators scene, my PSX is broken, and its impossible to repair it

so, because i still love my PSX games, i wanted to emulate them.

I have a AMD Athlon Thunderbird 900Mhz with 256 MB SDRAM and a TNT2 M64 32 Mb Graphics card

which emu would fit best to my system and would have the best compatibility? I tryed some, but the plug-in system is driving me crazy, either the Emu wont work or it has major problems, and its unplayable.

So...could someone tell me, which emu should i use and which Plug-Ins?

Oh yes, because i OWN a REAL PSX, its fully legal, if i have the PSX BIOS image, so, any help, which version, or how to find it?

I readed the rules, and i think this post fits in the rules.

Thanx if someone will help

vgs is very compatible (except with win2k -_-') but i would suggest epsxe, you need to find a bios (search on google, naturally it can be extracted from your psx, but since you have one i guess its legal anyways) and get some nevessary plugins to play most games, try finding pete's site and download his video and sound plugins, you also need a cd rom plugin, i think you can find most of em right here at ngemu... somewhere

First of all what games are you trying to play, Better check the compatibility list.

i have Win98 SE, a 32x CD-Rom (a CD-RW, it has 4 times higher audio extraction rate as my 50x CD-Rom, funny, it works MUCH better)

about extracting, my PSX is totally broken (i broaght it to a company, which should repair it, the CD-Drive was broken, now i cant even start it) so, i wont be able to extract it that easy, but its still legal

so, i should use all Pete's Plug-Ins, and find a CD-Rom plug-in?
here is the link to Pete's page...
http://home.t-online.de/home/PeteBernert/

could someone tell me, exactly which plug-ins i should use?
i wanted to play (i have 40 games for PSX)
MGS
Gex1,2,3
Crash Bandicoot 1,2,3
Croc 1
Spyro 1
Akuji the heartless
Soul Blade
Tekken 2,3
Ace Combat 2

that are some of my favorite games

zerocopy · April 8th, 2002

Epsxe has a built in cd-r plug in, i suggest you use those, as for gpu plug-ins use pete's(v1.60) since my old tnt2 vanta seem to work well on them. And for sounds use eternal's spu plug-in. If u wonna play games in iso format extract them first using isobuster.

Stealth · April 8th, 2002

thans, i will try it out now...

i just hope my PC is good enough for EpsxE

Stealth · April 8th, 2002

so, i only need thos 2 plug-ins, ok

another question, who has tryed direct pad pro? i built the connection exactly as sayd, its not working, even with unplugged pad, or anything else

i am sure, the connection, is correct (i built it with my dad, he is a pro, in things like that)

P.S.
which Bios version should i use? Scph1000 ?

ok, i did it, its working

the graphics arent so good, but, its ok

the sound is in really bad quality

zerocopy · April 8th, 2002

Good job, just try and tinker with the graphic setting's til you get better results, as for the sounds this could be caused by the game itself since not all sounds are emulated perectly. If all your games are having the same problem i suggest you switch to another sound plug-in.

Stealth · April 8th, 2002

i'll keep tryin it for sure

i love my PSX games, dam i hate thos guys who destroyed my Baby, my PSX >

Quatro · April 10th, 2002

just be aware of the release of new version of the emulator and plugins...
If you encounter a problem of the game your playing, search the forum, it should help you out or if you didn't find any... just post it so anyone can help

Your CD-Rom should already read PSX discs. Force aspi is here.
