What happens when you press escape on the keyboard ?

Crashing on exit I am not too sure on but for changing the internal resolution I would suggest using the hardware version of the PSX core, it handles it much better than the software one.

No problem, enjoy.

Glad you got it working

Yeah like I said previously, just because one emulator will load and play a certain it doesn't always mean any other will. The Saturn emulation is a really good example of this, both Yabause and SSF are much more forgiving with the disk dumps compared to Mednafens Saturn emulation. Mednafen is a much more accurate emulator and requires proper disk dumps, this is true for both the Saturn and PS1.

Then it is most likely a bad disk dump, there should be a .cue and a .bin file and you have to load the .cue. There can be other disk image types that can work but cue + bin are the most commonly reliable ones, they are the standard.

ePSXe is a fine emulator as long as it's version 2.0 or newer. If you are still getting the same error it is either you are loading the wrong file (you need to load the cue) or you have a game dump the emulator doesn't like. If the other cores are working then it's not a Visual C++ problem.

Lol, don't worry about it. I have silly mistakes like that as well, one time I spent hours trying to figure out why my TurboGrafx CD wasn't playing any music and it turned out that somehow in the core options for it I had the volume turned all the way down. So many little things to keep track of at times it's easy to forget certain things. Sorry I cannot supply bios, that falls under copyright content just like roms and we cannot share those here.

lol, well there's your problem

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx%3Fid%3D53840 Like I said though, I believe it's the 2015 version but I can't say it is with 100% certainty. Also double check your bios, I found this reddit thread with the same issue. Open Retroarch, load the core then check the core information. It will tell you if the bios are detected and correct. Also make sure you are loading the .cue file and it could be bad disk images. Yes, it is possible that a game that works in one emulator won't work in another because it isn't a "proper" dump.

That sounds like a missing Visual C++ runtime, I believe it's the 2015 version if I remember correctly.

If you are having problems with Retroarch there are tutorials and stuff to help you out but the most likely cause of any problems is either you have an incorrect command line parameter like a wrong core being told to load, incorrect bios or you are trying to load the wrong file like the bin file instead of the cue. But getting back to ePSXe, unfortunately I am not sure what to tell you about it loading slow. I had a look at some of the settings to see what may be causing it but I couldn't see anything. Do other PS1 games take a while to load or is it just FF VII ?

If you have Retroarch installed try it out. What version of ePSXe are you using ?

Not sure why that would happen unless your hard drive is super slow or something increasing the loading times. I normally use Retroacrh for PS1 but I do have ePSXe 2.0.5 and it loaded up quickly enough.

Sounds like a beast that will handle anything you throw at it. As for how to set it all up on your hard drive I will only tell you how I have it. I have an "Emulation" folder, and then in there I have a "Launchbox" folder, "Roms" folder and "Emulators" folder. Launchbox is obviously my Launchbox install and all the media. The roms folder has all my roms sorted into sub folders by platform. And then in my emulators folder I have all my emulators installed to their individual folder labeled with version numbers. That way I can install and test new versions of emulators without over writing a previous one and finding the update messed something up. And if you want to you can even make a sub folder of "Emulation" called "Tools" and in there put all the misc. utility software specific to emulation such as ips patching software for rom hacks.

Lol, it's all good and we've all done it.

It shouldn't make much of a difference but if you want make sure you are getting full performance get the 64 bit version, it is a bit more optimized.

change your command line to -L "cores\snes9x_libretro.dll" you are missing "cores"

That is the same core for both systems.

It should, all cores can have a custom config. If it is not working either you have the command line wrong or the config file is corrupted somehow.

Well the -c command needs to be done correctly and the one I gave is an example of the context in which it will work. Yours should probably be something like -c "config\mednafen_pce_fast_libretro.cfg" That is assuming that is the correct name and location of the config file you want it to load.

That command line is jacked up, here's an example one I use for the Nintendo 64 core. -L "cores\mupen64plus_libretro.dll" -c "config\Nintendo64.cfg"

Are you sure you are using the 64 bit version of Retroarch and not the 32 bit ?

You can download any core you want from their website. 64-bit http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/windows/x86_64/latest/ 32-bit http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/windows/x86/latest/

Yup, that'll do it
