What game are you trying to run? Does the compatibility list say it works or not? What version of pcsxbox are you using? Answer these questions and we may be able to answer yours.

Oh, and i dont know if anyone has requested this yet but i think command line launching would rock. I know i would personally love being able to make a single disc that, when put in my disc tray, automatically loads Castlevania symphony of the night as if it were an xbox game. I know this is implemented in some xport emu's but i cant remember if it is in this one. Thanks!

would mouse support be difficult to implement? (i know very little about programming, so forgive me if thats a stupid question)
although only a handful of games use the mouse, they are infinitely better for it (command and conquer series, syndicate wars etc)

I'm using v13. I've tried several games that are reported to work: Suikoden, Suikoden 2, Vandal Hearts, FFVII, Silent Hill. It never even jumps past the "Loading" screen that I get when I select a game. I've tried both BIOS and HLE mode. The bios file for PS1 is in the folder and I've tried several different copies of it so it isn't a bum bios file.

My guess is that it's something burried in the settings. I've tried v11, v12, and now 13 with no luck.

Make sure that software filters are disabled (simple2x, hq2x, etc.)

I've also had trouble with pcsxbox; some games, which are listed as working 100% in the compatability list, will not output any video or audio, while others work perfectly. I assumed this had to do with having a 1.6 xbox, as they are said to screw up some apps. However, every other emulator works exactly as it should.

Another problem which really bugs me is with the HLE modes in both pcsxbox and surreal 64, both cause my xbox to freeze consistantly. Ah well.

Ok, I have always had this problem with PCSXbox.

I have a soft modded 'box. No matter what game I try to run, it hangs on the "game loading" screen that appears as soon as you click to launch the game. It is not frozen because I can back up into the PCSXbox menu.

What could be the deal here? The game is on the hard drive.

What he said.

It took me forever to figure this out on my own.

Just make sure that the software filters are set to 'none', and it will boot fine. Then once in the game you can enable the software filters, but once you reboot and start the game again, you have to make sure the software filters are disabled. Kinda a pain, but it works.

The only game that I have that runs fine with software filters enabled when starting a game is CV:SotN.

Can someone help me get FF9 to work? I tried setting the fast forward throttle thingy to "Nothing+Nothing" but that just makes the game flash black horribly while in battles and the battle screen still doesn't come up

Ps. Im booting it off a .img file.

I can't figure out how to change between BIOS and HLE AFTER I have already selected a mode. When I try to fire up the game afterwards, it skips the mode and filter selection and just starts up.

I mistakenly picked HLE on a couple games that need BIOS, and vice versa

Thanks!!

X button takes you to the menu that you seek.

AlucardXXVII · « **Reply #176 on:** July 15, 2006, 02:13:00 PM »

I'm not sure what you mean. When I'm in the game selection menu, and I've already played the game before (and selected BIOS or HLE), when I pick a game and press X, it goes straight to Loading. I don't get a second chance to change options.

Do you know what I mean

Thanks

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Son of a bitch, I feel stupid. WHen you said "press X" I started thinking about a PSX controller, and X is in the same place A is on the XBOX controller, so I figured you meant press "A"

I'm such a douche. Anyway, thanks so much for helping, I've been searching and searching for this

Peace out bud

I just recently tried this emu out for the first time. Does it have an option to render the graphics at a higher resolution a la Bleem?

Not sure if this is the correct answer but not as far as i can tell. The only way to pretty it up is with software/hardware filter tinkering. Besides, i imagine rendering at higher resolutions would really hit this emulator in the speed department. Best to stick to the lowest settings you can for accurate speed (cept for silent hill that goes 150% at all times, cutting dialog so short, its not even worth playing....)

Really wish xport would tweak this emulator in certain ways...if anyone can, he can. I mean, Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, Valkyrie Profile, and Star Ocean 2nd story all work on pc pcsx so i assume its a problem in the porting? Could be wrong but i doubt it. WE NEED TWEAKS, XPORT, YOU GOD OF A DEVELOPER, YOU! I know he helped us out a lot with the parasite eve/vagrant hearts fix....now we just need a few more of those, man....come on, you know you want to play Valkyrie Profile on the box....yeah, you do...

SlyBeast · « **Reply #179 on:** July 19, 2006, 08:29:00 PM »

I see. Thanks for your help.

It is disappointing to hear that Silent Hill doesn't work well. That's one of the greats.
