Hello, I'm trying to run final fantasy vii with psxe. When i open the game, it works but the beginning "sony computer entertainment presents", is extremely slow. Like a 2 minute load. For about 4 hours now ive thought the game has just been crashing. But eventually, it does load and past that part the game works perfect. Cutscenes and all. Can anyone please help me with this?

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.

Not sure. I have a high end gaming laptop (high as you can get in laptos anyways for gaming) so its nothing about hardware resources. Like i said the game runs fine, its just that opening. More of annoyance than anything.

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 ?

Its just the one opening screen on 7. The problem im having with retroarch is anytime i load a game it saysthis application has requested runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Ugh.

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.

Dude ive been at this fpr about 2 hours on retroarch, gave up and figured cpres wouldnt load without internet, tried psxe and hated it, all this over a slow brain xD i need 3 bios files correct? Can you upload?

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.

Gotcha haha. Ill go grab them real quick hopefully all this will be over. To think it all started me getting crisis core running on ppsspp and my ocd not letting me play it until i atleast finish 7, one of the few i never completed actually.

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.

Oh my, so i actually managed to load the core. Now its giving me a black screen when trying to run a game? Im gonna pull my hair out this is NOT whati should be doing at almost 3 in the morning.
