i had to use petes d3d plugin to get the pic because every time i tryed with the 3dfx plugin you could not see what the pic was

[Pete Bernert]

as far as I know it's a problem with the current epsxe version, older versions were able to get past that point

[Iceydamo]

thx mate but something still has me batheld i made an iso about 10 mins ago and tryed it with the iso and its boots fine with the iso but why not with the cdrom by the way it is the pal version i have, I would use the iso if i wasnt so low on disk space

IIRC that game needed accurate cd timing to run correctly(which as pete pointed out was removed in that latest version). If you want to use the cd you should use 1.5.1. and enable that option.

In the next version of ePSXe, the Dino Crisis problem will be fixed. It is due to Mod Chip protection that it refuses to alow the game to load beyond that screen. The next version of ePSXe will go around the mod chip protection and will enable Dino Crisis and other games like it to run w/out patches or anything else set up. These games will run just like any other PSX game. I know this because I am a beta tester for ePSXe and I have a beta of the next version. It boots up Dino Crisis just fine. This should apply to the PAL version as well as it already does to the NTSC version (which I have).
sincerely,
