chrono cross and epsxe 1.60

XxBabiBoiPnoixX · September 14th, 2003

hey all i'm a newbie

and i just want to kno what the best configurations are for my comp to play this game
.One problem i recieve is after i hit new game and vibration (on or off) the game loads but stays in the black screen and u can't change anythign so you have to quit so i'm just wondering if any one tell me if my settings r wrong...i don't think my machine can't handle my settings because if i leave it at the title screen and it starts playing the game it shows all the smoothed character models and the game runs at 59.9 fps constant...

Are you using ePSX version 1.6.0? Try 1.5.2. Version 1.6.0 has some issues with CC

XxBabiBoiPnoixX · September 14th, 2003

WOOOO HOOOO now i can finally start playing (turns out it was the 1.6.0 thingy) thanks ^-^

its true epsxe 1.60 does not like chrono cross i get major slowdown and crashes.

did you actually get past the temple part...if you did man your lucky

BeNooL · September 15th, 2003

CD2 seems to work as it should in ePSXe 1.6.0
CD1 has problems right from the start though

astroduck · September 15th, 2003

epsxe 1.60 does work with CC but you need to enable the "Odd/Even Bit Hack" under the special game fix option.

BeNooL · September 15th, 2003

when I enable this special game fix the game dosen't freeze anymore but it's running too fast afterfarwds. Everything goes faster: character movements, music...

**Kane** · September 16th, 2003

Like was said, ePSXe 1.6.0 has problems with this game.

**galtor** · September 16th, 2003

Can someone try CC using the -noauto command line please?

BeNooL · September 16th, 2003

wow it works !!!

jsut added "-noauto" to espxeCutor cmdline and started a new game and it works! the odd/even bit special game fix is not even needed.
the intro movie is shown and the game continues at normal speed afterwards!
thanx for the tip.

*hastily adds this to his Chrono Cross config page*
Any chance this might help with the FF9 MDEC issues?

BeNooL · September 16th, 2003

don't know about this problem.
I have FF9 PAL, if you explain the prob I can test.

**Kane** · September 16th, 2003

It's a random thing. Sometimes the FMVs cause the emu to crash. It's not easily reproducable from what I've heard tho. Sometimes it happens constantly on your machine, maybe you'll never see a problem throughout the game.

cloudvii · September 16th, 2003

hi in this forum some one has post 72 posts only and have 8 stars , how ?????????

check above for Galtor .

And sorry for going out of the subject

Strider · September 16th, 2003

because galtor is an emu author, emu authors get 8 red stars regardless of post counts, and yes this is rather offtopic

BeNooL · September 16th, 2003
