Hi there! Ive followed these steps and all configuration was ok... but when i start ePsxe --> run ISO, all i can see is darkness not even a beep on sound. What am i doing wrong?? I have a dual core 2.8,1GB Ram and built in video card.
ReplyDeletetry another ISO file, or try another graphics plugin.
ReplyDeletewhen i try to open psxe it says im missing zlib1.dll and ive tried reinstalling and everything what should i do
ReplyDeleteDownload zlib1.dll here: http://go.ngemu.com/?id=673X1258&url=http%3A//prdownloads.sourceforge.net/libpng/zlib123-dll.zip%3Fdownload
ReplyDeleteremember to put zlib1.dll on the same folder as epsxe.
When i ran my PSX Game, everything worked great except for one small thing... Everything is running at like 10x speed. If you would like i could record my screen to show you what i really mean.
ReplyDeletejinx, sorry for the late reply
ReplyDeletehave you solved your problem? if not try these steps:
Go to Config->Video->Configure
on the framerate section, check "Use FPS limit", then tick "FPS limit (10-200)" then write 60.
If that does not fix it, Go to the task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del), then right click on "ePSXe.exe", then select "Set Affinity", then check only one CPU.
my main problem is that, when i want to play suikoden 2 on ePSXe, i need to load the file from the previous suikoden, but when it said if i want to load it, and i choose yes, the saved filed won't load..it said that i don't have any suikoden 1 saved file..
ReplyDeletewhat should i do?
thank u..
thanks.................................

This blog post had officially became the most helpful blog post I've ever found by the time I finished configuring my ePSXe 1.70. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteWow I realise this is old so you may be bored of replying/not replying but I've followed every step in this very useful guide but every time I try to run a CDROM it just crashes with no particular reason. Any idea what to do about that?
ReplyDeleteJPBStory: Try ripping it as an ISO. What game is it? FF has it's quirks, but fixable.
ReplyDeleteI am clicking on the link you posted but when it has 1% of the download left it asks for a password. If you know the password please tell me or let me know an unprotected download!!
