Hi guys,

Sorry if i am repeating this question cos u may have heard it a gazzilion times...

I am trying to run my pal version of Suikoden 1 on my PC but all I get is a black screen. Tried all sorts of BIOS, configs. and CD ROMs but no results.

All I get is a black screen...

I am running it on a P4 system. 512 cache, 32 MB GC 128MB RD Ram...

I tried to run it on VGS, it is working fine but can't save...anyways ePSXe is the best psx emu. around...

I appreciate ur help...

thx

Hrm.
I'm probly not the best person to respond to this as im relatively new to emulation bu i guess the first thing to suggest would be trying to run it as an ISO. like i said, im not too good but who knows maybe it will help. I hope so man. tell us how it turns out

**_E_** · September 3rd, 2002

no,......he ll get a black screen even if it was an iso. the problem is choosing an APPROPRIATE video plgin and cofigure it well. if you dont have a 3D card, use a software rending plugin. such as PEOPs and Kazzuya software plugin. otherwise i would recomend using PEte's Open Gl v1.65 if you have a 3D card. for more info on configuration, visit Lord Kane homepage

the bios may be the source of your problems too.

magus69 · September 3rd, 2002

thx guys, gonna try it now.

Got a new suikoden cd from my sis from manchester, so it's in pal..

magus69 · September 3rd, 2002

k tried kaaz plug-in...the same prob. blank screen.

My bios: 1001 tried a few like 7502 but the same prob.

now trying peop's plug-in...

magus69 · September 3rd, 2002

k...tried it, still the same prob.

The CD is pal (i have converted it to ISO). Now what? Any suggestions?

**_E_** · September 4th, 2002

Is your cd drive at least TRYING to read the cdrom when you emulate it? if not, check the cd rom plugin you are using. another point., did ja configure your video plugin?

magus69 · September 4th, 2002

yap...

tried to configure the video plugins for peops and kazz. blank screen again. tried pete's cdr plug-in. change in problem, now the screen is red!

some mates told me that pal games have difficulty rinning on epsxe, is it true?

I remember borrowing this game from a friend a looonnnggg time ago (PAL version, same as yours), and it took me quite some time to get it working in ePSXe. In the end, it required an unusual BIOS file to work (SCPH1000, IIRC).

**_E_** · September 4th, 2002

lol,....i run Pal and NTSC games on my epsxe since last year,...........but thats okay,...............you have an option in the epsxe menu,.................run epsxe>country>pal

**_E_** · September 4th, 2002

well,............just to check if the problem is in epsxe itself, why dont you try downlaoding VGS demo and see if it works or not? if it didnt, then the problem must be in the cd itself , i am afraid

magus69 · September 4th, 2002

it is working on VGS alright. but i am unable to save the game/or open it. Some option for a 30hour long game!

did u say 1000 for th bios?

i am gonna try...!

**_E_** · September 4th, 2002

i think he means look for the BIOS named SCPH1001 From the internet,..............i have a link to a site, but ngemu forbids any bios info to be descussed in this forum,...................therefore,.....contact me at conan_forever@yahoo.com and i ll give you the link

magus69 · September 4th, 2002

Problem solved.

THX man, you guys have been a real help.

The solution. BIOS SCPH 1000. The plug-in PEOP's

For the record, I really meant SCPH1000.

This game seems to require this particular BIOS.
