FFVII won't load on ePSXe 1.6, 1.5.2

[Hiroshi Nohara]

I got FFVII PC running on my laptop. However, it didn't support my graphic card (ProSavage DDR) and so I don't get any 3D acceleration, which means I have to use software rendering, which, on a VIA C3 CPU, is very slow.

 

So I decided to use the PSOne version, which will give me better sound and use my 3D hardware with Pete's DX6 Plugin. And so I set up ePSXe 1.6, and it worked - it would run the BIOS.

 

However, when I tried to get it to run FFVII from the CD Drive, the CD Drive wouldn't spin at all, and meanwhile the square black screen of ePSXe comes up, waiting to display data. But it never does. Meanwhile, CPU usage is 100%.

 

I thought maybe an ISO would do the trick. So I ripped the CD into a MDF, converted it into an ISO, and uploaded it to the laptop. Didn't work either.

 

I turned on the log. Everything seemed okay. ePSXe reports something about the sound plugin initialized okay, and detecting the format of the ISO image okay (2352) but still, nothing displays.

 

I installed the ASPI layer, but that didn't help either.

 

Please, does anybody know what do to now?

What are you using for CD-ROM and sound plugins?

Sorry.. I thought no one was gonna reply, so I just neglected to update.

 

Turns out it was a bad rip. Sorry.
