ePSXe problem w/ loading (black screen)

*topic

Please read carefully ok?

My PC specs are:

P4 2.26 Ghz Processor
768 RAM
GeForce4 MX 440 Videocard

Plugins are
Pete's Open GL 2 (video)
Eternal SPU (sound)
BIOS SCPH 1001

I installed everything plus the plugins. I load games from the image I got from Alcohol 120%. (.iso files)

But the problem here is when I'm playing a game for example Chrono Cross, when I press the menu (circle) button to see my characters. It just goes black screen and it takes very long time for it to load..... I was frustrated because I tried on the other emulator it has no problems when I press menu button. Don't recommend me to play on that emu because I know this emu is still the best.....

Can anyone solve this? The problem here is similar to other games I played like FF8 or FF9. When it loads, black screen always appear and it may load or just hangs depending on the game. It may sound a joke but I face this problem.

Maybe you guys had solve this in the past. Reply is greatly appreciated. Thx.

In the GPU plugin config enable "odd/even bit hack" special game fix.

Btw: Are you 100% sure that you have GeForce MX 440?
Because from my experience Pete's OpenGL2 doesn't work with that card...
Or you got the plugin name wrong...

Anyhow if you have a MX 440 i suggest Pete's OpenGL 1.76 video plugin.

If I didn't enable it why I made it work right? My problem wasn't just for Chrono Cross but almost all games... >.< It always loads for nothing.... no matter what plugin I choose result the same..

What do you mean you made it work right? You just said that you have problems with games...

Btw: What was the name of the other emulator you have tried?

Yep it has problems, especially when I load a game for example. It just freezes(black screen) or loads for a veryyy long time...

Btw I'm using ePSXe v 1.6.0.

I already solved it myself. Using 1 2 3 4 as circle square triange and cross had a conflict in the emulator that's why it keeps displaying black screen.

Now I can play games perfectly. Thanks.
