Problem Starting Games

hyrule777 · July 10th, 2009, 13:27

Ok, so I start ePSXe, and so far everything works. Then, I go to file and open ISO. Whenever I open an ISO, I get a blank screen

, and ePSXe closes. Oh, and by the way I have Mega ManX4, Mega Man 8, and the original Twisted Metal. My ePSXe version is 1.70. I use Lewpy's Glide, Peops CD and sound plugins as plugins, and Scph 1001rar as my bio, if it matters.

what format is the image in?

OK, first of all unless you have a Voodoo card (which i doubt) there is no need to use Lewpy's plugin.
Secondly BIOS (not bio) should be in raw form and not archived.

didn't even notice that....

I still don't know what my problem is. I added rar to the word because I extracted it as a rar file, and came out a normal file, so rar doesn't matter. I don't have half a clue what the first guy said (explaining what you meant may help) and the second guy just got mad at me for not knowing everything about emulation.

No one is mad. It is just that you, like many people here didn't read stickies where everything is already explained.
Take a look at the config guide.

You're using Lewpy's Glide video plug-in. Unless you have a Voodoo video card (there's about a 99.99% chance you don't, as it's both very old and somewhat rare), you should not be using that video plug-in, as it won't work. That is most likely your problem. He already told this to you. How do you still not know what the problem is?

Post your configuration (that means both your plug-in configuration and you system specification [at least the CPU, RAM, and video card]).

I don't know anybody on these forums, so I thought shendo was being one of those people who always criticize people who don't know how to do something. Anyway, which video plugin should I use? When I use PeteOpenGL2, it says missing texture extension and no pixel format avalible.

Determine the video hardware you have, tools such as DirectX Diagnostic or Everest Home will be of help,

I had this asked in advanced because it's needed to determine the best plug-ins and configurations.

Offhand, the error message Pete's OpenGL 2 is throwing you is suggesting that your video card is of the weaker and/or onboard variety. Onboard GPUs often lack the power/ability to run the plug-in. You'll probably have to stick to Software rendering (ala, P.E.Op.S. Soft) or Direct3D rendering plug-ins.
