Help getting Monster Rancher 2 to load.

Gigsy Wigsy · April 4th, 2005

Hello all.
Im quite new to using emulators.
I am having trouble running Monster Rancher 2. I can load the piracy message and then the second screen with "sony presents". I assume the game video comes next but all i get is a black screen and the emulator stops responding. I have had success running Suikoden 2 with no video troubles. All games are being run off original PS cds which i believe are in good condition, using a Pioneer DVD drive.

I am running windows 2000 on a 1.2ghz Athlon with a 32mb GeForce 2 GTS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou.

Have you tried using P.E.Op.S.?

Im pretty sure i tried P.E.Op.S before but i tested it again just now and it still hangs. I haven't tried many of the other plugins so maybe its a matter of just testing them all? I was wondering if there were any settings in the plugins that i need to be aware of. Somewhere it mentioned something about turning off the game videos, i dont know if that would help though. I am assuming with all this that it is possible to get monster rancher working in the first place!

Thanks for you help.

If you want to turn off videos, you have to add the -nomdec switch to a shortcut. You could also try making an ISO of the disc or using a different emulator, such as PSXeven PCSX, etc.
