FF7 - can't switch disks

proshot · January 9th, 2005

I'm using epsxe 1.52, after the game prompts to insert disk two, i can't move any further: the disk two is inserted, but it's still only the switch screen (that one with some beautiful pictures) what i see. I've tried all the possible plugins, tried to launch the game both from cd-rom and iso, tried using epsxe 1.60 but nothing helped. Could anyone help?

PS Sorry for my english

haha...Press Esc and go FILE ---> CHANGE DISC --> CD-ROM

PS. keep it on ePSXe 1.5.2 just to be on the safe side as well.

well a lot of people are, and it seemed like you werent doing it so....

anywho, at the end of disc 1 it asks you to save. save it to your memory card at that point and close the emulator. insert disc 2, and start up the emulator on disc 2. load your game from there.

I'd like to. But when i insert disc 2 i still see that switch screen and there's no way to get to memory card, and sometimes i just get black screen. Any ideas?

BTW, which emuls also support disc switch? Maybe i could try messing around with memcards converting and stuff

**hushypushy** · January 10th, 2005

you can try PSXeven and PCSX if you'd like.

what CD plugin are you using? is your disc 2 alright, physically?

Ya I had that prob too. I got around it but I forgot how. I think I used a different CD Plugin that wasn't very good, but it got me past the glitch in the CD changing thing. Then, I just used a Save State, switched to my better plugin, and loaded it. It brought me past the glitch and to my spot so I could continue.

Basicly it's internal epsxe W2K CD, but i've tried many others.
I'm sure the disc is OK, none of the iso-making programs never sad a word

gokuson123 · January 10th, 2005

Are u using a backup or an ISO?

God bless PCSX

Switch the CDR plugin to SaPu.

proshot · January 10th, 2005

BTW, i guess i now understood what was that. I checked epsxe consol, and it permanently recognized my PAL cd as NTSC (no idea why), and even force recognition of PAL didn't help. Did anyone have this glitch?

gokuson123 · January 10th, 2005

No I don't play PAL only NTSC games.

**hushypushy** · January 10th, 2005

very strange. are you using a legit store bought version of the game?

Nope, it's russian translated (awfully translated btw) europian version

**hushypushy** · January 12th, 2005

well, sir, i am afraid if you did not buy the game not only:

1. no one can guarantee it's safety, sanity, quality, or playability and more importantly...
2. that is against the board's rules. downloading a game is illegal.

this thread is closed for those two reasons. go buy the game.
