Suikoden II intro

[Handys]

I need help with suikoden II.When I enter emulation the intro starts and then it freezes but the music keeps playing on.
I can skip the intro and the game keeps going.
Whats the problem with that intro?

are you playing it from the disk? is the disk in good condition (no visible scratches)? have you tried another emulator like pcsx or epsxe?

Seems like this is another game that benefits from the -r switch, Handys.

I am not playing it from the disc its .iso.I am using Psx.I have epsx on the comp but i dont understand it ,its playing games in mega speed.I dont understand whats -r switch?

.iso is not a good format for Playstation games, Handys - if the CD is a multi-track CD, the .iso format does not include the information to play the extra tracks, which may include music, sounds, FMVs etc.

.bin/.cue is better, and the best formats are .ccd/.img/.sub and .mdf/.mds. You should re-rip your game to one of these formats. It's no use converting your .iso to another format, you need to re-rip from your original CD.

The -r switch is a command line switch. There are various ways you can use it; if you start pSX from the command line, add a space after the executive name, then add -r. Or, create a new shortcut or launcher to start pSX, right click it and select Properties. In Windows, in the panel labelled Target, move your cursor to the end on the line and, again, type a space and then -r. Click OK. In Linux, do the same in the Command panel and click Close. Now your new launcher or shortcut will start pSX with event rescheduling enabled and your game should play Ok.

Or the easy way is to download and install Ultima's pSX Frontend and, when you create a profile for your game, go o the Switches tab and tick the box against -r Enable Event Rescheduling before you save it. When you start the game from this profile, event rescheduling will be enabled.

I made a mistake its in bin foremat.
How do I start psx from the command line?

[jonc2006]

to do that you need to create a shortcut to the cmd.exe and put it in the same directory the psxfin.exe is located. then right click the shortcut and in its properties menu, clear the "start in" box. after that, just launch the cmd.exe and load psx by typing in "psxfin.exe -(command switch)" or in this case, "psxfin.exe -r" (without the quotes). ive found the frontend to be the best way to use command switches but this way works fine too.
