I'm new to ePSXe. I have all of the plugins ready but when I try to run the game it says "Bios not properly configured go to Configuration>bios to configure it" what do I do? It shows a bios already configured please help me!

**Bgnome** · January 22nd, 2002, 16:47

are you using scph 1001 or 7502?

Which one is the PAL one?

**Zephon** · January 22nd, 2002, 18:48

They both work with PAL and NTSC games. It seems that ePSXe doesn't care for what type of BIOS it is.

SCPH1001 -> NTSC
SCPH7502 -> PAL

But, as Zephon said, it doesn't matter much to ePSXe.

Tell us what the sound problem is and we'll try to help you get something better.

btw, I reccomend Eternal SPU for the best sound, but make sure "SPU IRQ hack" is enabled in the plugin's configuration, but disabled in epsxe main sound configuration window.

Okay, the songs that our sung (Breath of Fire IV intro and Final Fantasy VIII's intro) is all gitchey like it wavers a bit then the sound effects on FF8 are weired, Selphie and Quistis' footsteps sound like they are wearing Iron boots.

**Zephon** · January 23rd, 2002, 19:52

Tell us which sound plugin are you using, and its configuration, please.

Pete's DSound Audio Driver 1.11

Configurations:

Volume: Medium

XA Music:
Enable XA Playing [Checked]
Changed XA Pitch, if it is played too fast [Checked]

Misc:
Show timer updates [unchecked]
Use SPU IRQ queue [unchecked]

Hope that isn't too confusing for you!

**Betamax** · January 23rd, 2002, 23:56

First thing I'd do is update the plugin to 1.14.

Have you tried Eternal SPU or epsxe internal spu? They're both good too, but I prefer Eternal.

The eternal plugin is the way to go. That strange sound from the footsteps went away when i switched over to it.
