Parasite eve 2 HEEEELLLP

[cloudvii]

Hi again , I have a problem when I meet the fire monster (the one who u play from the balcony and throws fire at you ) after the shower fmv (CD1) , when i defeat it the screen just turns silver ! and nothing happens , nothing to do but to press escape and close epsxe . could you help me .

and there were two other problems that i didn't care for one was that the menu has wrong colors but i can read it well .

the other that in some cutscenes the backgrounds r mixed when the camera changes the angle .

any way i use lewpy's glide and epsxe 1.5.2 , spu pete's direct sound and
W9XCDRCORE as my cd plugin .

A little known trick is that you can play that part of the game using either disk 1 or disk 2. Try using disk 2 to see if that gets you any further.

---I dont know, I never crossed this problem with 1.5.2 and 1.6.0 ePSXe, maybe its the sux video plugin?---

and there were two other problems that i didn't care for one was that the menu has wrong colors but i can read it well .

---Maybe video plugin again?---

the other that in some cutscenes the backgrounds r mixed when the camera changes the angle .

---I had that problem sometime when I use lil older PeteOpenGL Plugin, the newer (1.73.0.0) fixed angle problem, (i never crossed them anymore with newer plugin), and newer PeteOpenGL also fix white box mirror thingy in beginning of game---

any way i use lewpy's glide and epsxe 1.5.2 , spu pete's direct sound and
W9XCDRCORE as my cd plugin .

---I would suggest you to use 1.6.0 instead of 1.5.2 for PE2, near the end of game PE2 crash when Maya fall down in slimey pit, in 1.6.0 doesnt (but i actually dont know which one actually did it, older PeteOpenGL or 1.5.2 ePSXe)---

hi haloboycs i prefer 1.5.2 it's much better than 1.6.0 which has (for me) many bugs and I think your problem is in the plugin or the cd may be have a crack or try to clean it .


and thx betamax i'm going to try using cd2 may be it works i'll inform u when i do it .


well I see that Parasite eve 2 had many problems with epsxe with many other people but it's a great game with good graphics and storyline .

sorry to post two times but cd2 have worked from the same save in the memory card and i battled that monster then the same happens it turns silver (like the tv when says whesssh) when the cutscene with the monster falls down .
