frankyp Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) So i am new to launchbox / big box and i have some games set up to work just fine. But for some reason when i launch any of my playstation games instead of launching the game it just opens up the emulator... Instead of just loading the game.. I am oviously using PCSX to emulate my playstation games. ( i have tryed like 5 other emulators ( all that i can find) but none work this is the only one) All my other emulators ( nes, snes, sega etc work fine) and this emulator does work and i can play games off it etc. but it simply will not directly launch the game instead just opens the PCSX somone suggested i need a command line maybe? I checked through all the options i have not seen anything that would cause any problems. Please help thanks!

dragon57 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Please bring up the Edit Emulator screen, then click on Associated Platforms, capture that and post it here. I use Retroarch for the Playstation, which works great for me. My definition looks like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankyp Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 How do i get to that screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 In Launchbox go to Tools > Manage Emulators and edit the PSX emulator you have listed. I would recommend an emulator not so old. I think the last time this emulator was touched was 2003-2004. Eventually PCSX-R came from it. I would recommend ePSXe or the mednafen Retroarch core.

Yep, and as i said in the thread you seem to of deleted you will need a Playstation bios file, it looks like the emu you are using has some sort of built in bios if the games load from the program itself, but that is likely not very good and i would imagine it to have a lot of compatability issues. As i stated in your other thread track down the bios file needed and then use either epcsxe or the mednafen core in retroarch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 If you google "Playstation bios" without the quotes its the top result, so not difficult to find at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro808 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 What format are your PS1 game in? I see you have -loadbin command line so just want to confirm the format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankyp Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) .bin or .bin.emc Edited September 7, 2018 by frankyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 That’s likely your issue why you could not get these to work in epsxe. .ecm is a compression format. You need to un-ecm the file and get it to a true .bin and .cue file. If you google epsxe .ecm file you should get hits on how to do so.

Also even the games you have there that are nor ecm'd only have the .bin file, they will also need the matching .cue file to go with them.

Retro808 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 lol thanks @neil9000 forgot about the cue file as well. Just noticed he did have some games that were already in .bin and no .cue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 If you google unecm you should find some tools, i cant link directly here as they are normally on rom sites, but google is your friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
