PSXeven Compatibility?

andré · February 22nd, 2003

how does PSXeven's compatibility compare to PCSX? just want to get an idea of how far this emulator has come, since it's relatively new on the scene.

February 22nd, 2003

I can't say about PCSX since that one won't work on my system. But Xeven's fine emulator, from what I can see, already has excellent compatibility. I've tried Army Men 3D, Gauntlet Legends, Pac Man World, Ms. Pac Man Maze Madness, and FF IV with this emu. All ran flawlessly and except for the black border problem around the airship and elsewhere in FF IV they all loked superb. I tested Koudelka as well and the MDECs and cut scenes had a few problems, but otherwise that game ran well also. I believe t hat Xeven, himself, said that right now compatability is at around 55 to 60%. Excellent for such a new emulator.
sincerely,
sx/amiga

PCSX never ran on my system too, and I can't believe the compatability for PSXeven for a new PSX emulatorr

Kaotic Soul · February 22nd, 2003

Even with compatibilityu does it have great speed, on the same level as ePSXe or much slower?

**Yeloazndevil** · February 22nd, 2003

it has great speed some skips here in there in MDEC's, but once Xeven optimizes the core and other things, I think it will reach to ePSXe's speed

**Chrono Archangel** · February 22nd, 2003

the compatibility is good for me except i get a clean 10FPS more with ePSXe.

**Kirby** · February 22nd, 2003

It's interesting to see how well this emulator is able to play Descent Maximum. Compatability seems to be right for this game

**Snake785** · February 23rd, 2003

Yes it does Kirby

All PSXeven need is speed improvements and I'll be happy (Descent Maximum runs at around 40-45 FPS).

Devilfish · February 23rd, 2003

I have tried a few games and from what I can tell, it has good compability. But there are some games which have problems:

Motorhead (PAL) doesn't load up at all, just get a blank screen.

Tekken 2 (PAL) has speed problems and major graphical problems.

Street Figther EX2 PLUS (PAL) has minor sound problems.

Gran Turismo 1 (PAL) the music plays to slowly and Omega Boost
(PAL) the music only plays a little bit slow.

Gungage (PAL) some of the graphics have too much brightness.

Ridge Racer Revolution (PAL) come up with an error "Track out of bounds".

Wipeout 3 (PAL) you can only view the opening mdecs no more, can't actually play it.

Eagle One Harrer Attack (PAL) is unplayable because you can't see anything on the startup menu.

Tenchu 1 (PAL) is unplayable as you can't see the start up menu again.

Please note that all these games were run from Iso's. Also please don't flame or anything for me saying that these games have problems, as I do realise this is a relatively new emulator. But if you don't let the author (who I hope will read this) know what problems with games there are. They will never get fixed

spajdr · February 24th, 2003

and i will add one more game that dont work,
Threads of Fate (NTSC) quits emulator after selecting you character. Also i cant find any good sound settings,without skipping and other weird noises.

**Xeven** · February 24th, 2003

you need to disable "Change xa speed, if played too fast" spu option (at least for spu peops).

spajdr · February 24th, 2003

Tried that,but still its far from perfect

its better with Epsxe for sure,nearly perfect

**Xeven** · February 24th, 2003

use epsxe then

spajdr · February 24th, 2003

No,i prefer PSXeven

**Prafull** · February 24th, 2003

Use xeven's "no sound" plugin. No skipping and no weird noises.

On a serious note, eternal spu is giving all right sounds to me.

spajdr · February 25th, 2003

Dunno what i did,but now its nearly perfect.
Prafull : with Eternal spu,i cant say it sounds right,its totally fu**ed

what setting you exactly have set with this plugin ?

ebola · February 26th, 2003

I just hope he can get vandal hearts II working. I would love to play it on the puter.

**Xeven** · February 26th, 2003

hi ebola

Fixed VH2 game, works in software only, doesnt seem to work in opengl. (thnx Cless)

ebola · February 26th, 2003

hmmm are you using a pal copy because i get stuck on the konami screen. I have the ntsc version. same thing occurs in epsxe 1.52.

I tried both the 1001 and 7502 bios and i tried the cd and an iso I made. I'm just using petes soft driver for video.

thanks

**Xeven** · February 26th, 2003

Hi ebola, what's the game code for your version?
