And this error is what?
Never heard of this issue.

[hushypushy]

...i've never had any problems with CC. i dont know what people are talking about

[ShadowDancer]

Um, I have that problem too. I think it's a bug or something. It's when you try to use an element and epsxe freezes up.

[Ruth Loose]

Well PSXeven seems to work well but the sound is not really up to par on that emu so I am going to go tinker with it til I get it just right.

[neverknown]

this isnt a crash.. well.. or something like that

..in my opinion the game "lags to death"
if you wait "long enough" it should work (after some hours:P)

[winter_mute]

(...)but the sound is not really up to par on that emu so (...)

Try 2 use Eternal SPU 1.41 plugin & enabled "Update before accesing registe" special game fix in [in Eternal config]

i also wanted to add that im a little bit angry that my thread got closed and only one of my 3 problems was "solved" or explained.. also i feel nice about someone pointing at my gfx card and saying "this is your problem" .. so what? do i have to buy a f****** new gfx only to get more problems? .. i dont think so.. i am happy with what i have..

now that someoneelse started a new thread with one of my problems ill ask again if someone got a solution to this..

1. the game "crashs" when using an element in battle
(i prefer it lags to death because there are some fps left)
2. the blur splash screen when starting a battle
3. lag in the menue screen, especialy in the status menue


i used 3 diffrent drivers for my Kyro I (or II?) 32mb or
3D prophet hercules 4000XT.. here is a link
http://europe.hercules.com/showpage.php?p=18&b=0&f=1
(note: i have agp not pci, and no tv-out.. i know wierd o_O)
with windows xp prof sp1 & 256 sd ram

(- the latest official driver from the hercules webiste)
(- the latest official driver from powervr for kyro I/II)
(- a tweaked powervr driver..)

with the opengl plugin (the latest of course)
and the two direct 3d plugins

it doesnt matter what my settings are.. i tried everthing..
i also messed with the sound around..

and guess what the lag didnt disappeard.. neither the "battle lag"
nor the "element crash"

[Omegainf]

It happens to me too! I think it's an ePSXe bug because CC was playing just fine for me untill I've upgraded to 1.6.0 I guess we're gonna have to wait for the bug-fix version that was annouced on www.epsxe.com

[Kane]

2. the blur splash screen when starting a battle

You checked out mysite?

3. lag in the menue screen, especialy in the status menue

Normally that's because you have it in too high a res

Futhermore, I recall that hthe Kyro cards are among the most annoying cards as far as emulation is concerned

[khangenghis]

Yeah, I just tested Chrono Cross. It runs a little too fast on ePSXe 1.6.0, while it ran fine on ePSXe 1.5.2. Use manual frame limit and set it to 50 and it'll play like normal. Maybe it's a bug in the PAL/NTSC detection code?

Mine crashes/lags when I use elements too. Most likely an emulator bug...

[Phoenix Flame]

khangenghis, you probably have the country setting set to PAL instead of NTSC. Even if you set the Country to Autodetect, if you play enough NTSC or PAL games then the country setting changes to reflect this.

[Omegainf]

khangenghis: Yeap, that's an epsxe 1.6 bug. I suggest you to use PSXeven or stick with epsxe 1.5.2 :/

[khangenghis]

Phoenix: Nope, my setting is on autodetect, but I did try switching to PAL/NTSC and running CC to check whether it was the problem. No such luck though...

[Narcosom]

Epsxe 1.70 is out, The speed is regulated, and doesn't freeze on element!

[fireblaster_lyz]

Haha. You just revived a thread dated 4 years ago...

[Squall-Leonhart]

hmm, atleast now we know all the recent topics about this were actually posted years before, so can go back and flame for not searching properly.

[Shendo]

Warning given.

Closed.
