Troubleshooting
QUESTION: My favourite game doesn't work.
ANSWER: Not all games are supported yet, try next release. As this one is an "experimental release", it is more likely that the emu has some bugs that may make it difficult to run certain games. For making X games run, you may play a little with setup... and get a few surprises. Compatibility changes a lot, when you enable or disable different CPU options, like DYNAREC, STATICREC or HLE.
QUESTION: Emulation stops while playing an MDEC movie.
ANSWER: MDEC timing is not perfect, because of problems with CD-ROM Decoder. Try setting AdriPSX for skipping MDEC, so to let the game work.
QUESTION: Some sounds in the game are missing.
ANSWER: Sometimes this happens because the SPU plugin is set for working as MONO, other times because the missing sound is CDDA, or skipped CDXA. AdriPSX doesn't support old style SPU plugins like SEAL or Kazuya's SPU. Also, when using some old versions of NULL'S SPU all CDXA MONO Sounds are missing.
QUESTION: Can you give, or tell me where to find BIOS?
ANSWER: Absolutely no.
QUESTION: There are several PSX BIOS outthere... Which one should I use for make AdriPSX run?
- ANSWER: Use only SCPH1001.BIN. Because most of BIOS is being run by HLE functions based on SCPH1001, it is most likely that it will not run fine, or not run at all, when using other file rather than SCPH1001.BIN
QUESTION: Everytime I try to run a game, the emulator display a message saying "Couldn't load X plugin."
ANSWER: This is most likely to happen when you have not yet configured all Plugins. Just be sure to configure plugins at least once. Also, if you had installed a previous version of AdriPSX sometime in the past, it may be possible that an "old" configuration stored in Windows Registry may be causing trouble. This is fixed just configuring ALL plugins (including CPU setup) at in this new version, at least one time. Other option is that you can erase the ADRIPSX entry in Windows Registry using REGEDIT or any other tool. Another cause for this problem could be that the file ADRIPSX.INI is write-protected or corrupted, in this case, just erase it and configure the emu again.
QUESTION: You said that AdriPSX runs under WIN2K/XP... But it doesn't run on mine.
ANSWER: WIN2K compatibility problems are mostly caused by plugins. For fixing this, it is recommended to read each plugin documentation, and be sure that it had support for WIN2K. For better compatibility, you can try disabling sound (so no SPU plugin will be used).
QUESTION: I can't heard CDXA music with your emu!
ANSWER: For enabling CDXA playing, you must set CDROM EXTRA DECODER on (in CDROM SETUP). But notice that by enabling it, compatibility may change.
QUESTION: In some games, I got corrupted MDECs, and even some times, it seems not to be responding to my controller commands....
ANSWER: For solving this kind of problem, try just by pressing F11 key on time. This will almost always fix any problem of that kind.
