Agozer Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 it shows a black screen with the new verision of pcsx2. That's why i asked which version of the emu he has. Maybe the previous ver. will let you play the game.If the altest version gives you a black screen, then the problem is most likely in your configuration or hardware.

Just becuase it's the latest emulator doesn't mean it improves all games. Some games may not work properly or at all in newer versions until a stable emu is released. This happens all the time with emu's which, again, is why i asked which version he was using. So anyone have any clue on if this works with pcsx2 0.9.1?

blob2 Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Hi, I'm new. I have the 1.97 GB group of files, which includes kof11-gant.part01 through part 43, and kof11-gant.sfv. I also have PCSX2 version 9.1. How the heck do I load the game? I have the bios too, but PCSX2 says I don't. Please advise. Am I missing files? What do I need? Thanks a lot!
Agozer Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Get WinRAR and extract the split archive with that. The .SFV (Simple File Verification) file is only used if you want to verify that the archives have no been tampered with nor corrupted in some other way. It's in no way a crucial file. Google for an SFV Checker if you want to use it.

Google for an SFV Checker if you want to use it. All the files were already split up when I downloaded them. Do I need to zip them back up? And am I supposed to load .elf files only? Or do I create a virtual disc of the .rar archive and load the virtual CD? And when I try to do that, it says it can't use the bios, which I DO have in the bios folder. (They could be corrupt, I suppose) I get the sense that using PCSX2 is not easy, so if you could provide very clear instructions, start to finish, for playing the game I would be extremely grateful. I should first mention that I have a 2.66 GHz CPU, so hopefully that'll be fast enough for a "reasonable" frame rate. Feel free to e-mail me if you wish at schw0373@hotmail.com. Thanks a million- Scott
Agozer Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Either Zip or RAR the entire image or leave it uncompressed. Most PCSX2 CD/DVD plugins work with both. Preferably in a known CD/DVD image format or the the ELF. Expect that your machine can't give you "reasonable" framerates, depending on what your definition of reasonable is. I don't use PCSX2 so I'm not the one to ask for detailed instructions. The rough outline is: 1. Mke sure you have a graphics plugin for PCSX2. Configure the GPU plugin if need be.2. Same with the Audio, Controller plugins, etc.3. Make sure you have a valid PS2 BIOS that's in the Bios folder. Make sure you select the BIOS when you go through the configuration window.4. Configure the CD/DVD plugin to work with the image you have.5. Run the emulator, hope for the best.

It's in 43 "pieces" so wouldn't I have to zip it regardless? Also, how do I turn it into an image format? Do you mean something like .nrg? Edited August 30, 2006 by blob2
Agozer Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 The CD image is compressed and split into multiple archives. Get WinRAR and open the first archive with it. Extract the contents (the actual CD image I assume) to a folder and subsequent volumes (the other split archives) will follow suit automatically. It would help if you'd tell me what file(s) the first part contains exactly.

Alright I extracted the ISO and mounted it on VirtualDaemon. I also configured the BIOS directory in PCSX2 to point to the right folder. What do I do next? I have to convert it to .elf or another format, correct? Because when I try to play the game I get "error loading C:\emulators\pcsx2\kof11-gant.iso." I also get "error opening CDVD plugin."

No, it's actually quite easy! It only took me TWO tries to get it working! The most important part AFTER getting the correct files would be to configure PCSX2 correctly. I suspect you may have a corrupt BIOS. What are the sizes and names of your BIOS file(s)?
blob2 Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Here's my bios: PS2 Bios 30004R V6 Pal (4 MB)rom1 (195 kb)schp10000 (4 MB)scph39001 (4 MB)SCPH-70004_BIOS_V12_PAL_200 (4 MB)SCPH-70004_BIOS_V12_PAL_200.EROM (3 MB)PS2 Bios 30004R V6 Pal.MEC (4 bytes)scph39001.MEC (4 bytes)PS2 Bios 30004R V6 Pal.NVM (1 kb)scph10000.NVM (1 kb)scph39001.NVM (1 kb)SCPH-70004_BIOS_V12_PAL_200.NVM (1 kb)SCPH-70004_BIOS_V12_PAL_200.ROM1 (512 kb)SCPH-70004_BIOS_V12_PAL_200.ROM2 (512 kb) Thing is, I'm actually getting past the BIOS part of this. Now I can't load the ISO, probably because it's in the wrong format.

I think you may be right about that part too. My kof11-gant.iso is 2.36 GB. What size is your ISO?
blob2 Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Mine is also 2.36. My main question is, what format did you make the .iso to play it? Seems almost obvious that's the main problem.
