Lordmonkus Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Are you using ePSXe ? If you are you will probably want to check your video settings and set your desktop resolution to match your monitors resolution. This is my first guess at the cause of this issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 You should be able to and have LB extract them before loading them. I say "should" because this is not something I do, I have all my PS1 games extracted into their own folders which contains their cue + bin files or pbp.

CALLSTANLEY247 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 thanks i watched a launchbox video and saw them talk about using a program called isobuster but it sounded really hard to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Nah, it's not to use but I have hardly ever used it at all, only a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALLSTANLEY247 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 its all new to me but getting there slowly .would you have any links showing the steps or what i was saying or was it ok.see at first istarted setting this up with simply austons tutorials for rlauncher and hyperspin,though i couldnt get it to run.then he started doing videos using rlauncher and launchbox as the front end. most of my games are still ziped as thats how rlaunches needed them .i could just sit unzip and place in launchbox game folders..is this also the way you store your setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 You can have Launchbox unzip your games if you wanted, though this is not the way I do it but either way works. I'd suggest checking out Brads tutorial videos for each system. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSIht6UXIEXIgz4eXAEShxA/videos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 You could always take things a bit slower and just import one game at a time with individual cue files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALLSTANLEY247 Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 you see what it was is i started doing it one at a time and my laptop was having a bad time .hard drive slowing the machine down so upgraded it to a ssd .then that went all went up in the airl.i hadnt done things rite and had to start from scatch building launchbox again well trying to get it setup as i had before i upgraded the drive.you probily remember i was asking about error dll files and you told me to do a google search for novice stuff like this.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
