Haha! Very nice hack on that. *LOL* I moved this topic to the appropriate forum.

I say with system images. They just look great.

Thanks Tom! Welcome back by the way. How was your trip to the States?

^^Agreed, although my crippling interest in emulation and childhood desire to own a game cabinet has led me to a lot of crazy solutions for people's problems.

Awesome suggestion! Didn't even think of that! Can you try that and let us know what happens? I think we're getting somewhere.

I wonder if he has more than one codec pack installed? That can cause some serious issues if you have Shark007's pack, and say CCCP installed on the same machine. This might also explain the crash unless he removes video snaps too.

Are you able to run any games? In my case if its on standby for 5 mins it should launch the screensaver (attract mode) and I don't see that happening here (or any game running for that matter).

Hmm what was the FAQ from? Can you post it? Also, be prepared to have to remap all your controls after you set the MAME controls back to default if they don't use the default controls already (which they must not because the credits button's not working). PS: Does your "circuit board" look anything like this: Or this: If not, could you maybe take a pic and post it? Knowing your hardware will be key to fixing this issue.

So a customer brings me a laptop that has a cracked screen. He took it to a local repair shop and they sat on it for two months. He finally decides to go pick it up and bring it to me (you'd be surprised how much business I get this way). First thing I notice is the plug isn't for this laptop (it's a Toshiba lappy and they gave him an HP cord that doesn't even fit it). No biggie, I got parts laying around the shop, so I grab a Toshiba cord and fire it up. Next I turn it on with a monitor plugged into the VGA port on the side to see if there's damage to the board, and it tells me the HDD cable is loose. Not uncommon when someone drops a laptop I figure, so I flip it over and unscrew the plate. After removing the caddy, I then discover the hard drive was removed, and the plate was put back on it! To add insult to injury, the RAM has also been taken out! What kind of shady a$$hole does that to a customer? I'm glad I don't need to rely on a tech for repairs, because I don't know anyone that looks to see if the HDD or RAM was ripped off before heading home from the repair shop. Moral of the story... A+ certified or not, know who you're dealing with before you take your machine to a tech! /end rant

You can also try and move your psx install to a different emu slot to eliminate gameex error. This *has* to be something on your machine I'm afraid. But no worries, we'll get it sorted. Just be ready to give up some info.

OK a couple things I would try: What version of Direct-X are you using (go to a command prompt and type dxdiag.exe), and what is the make and model of your video card? .:EDIT:. Damn, everyone's up early today!

Jerky? Can you explain? Like the sound stutters?

Ahh mesk you know me too well! I love pSX, it's the only self contained PSX emulator that I'm aware of, and it runs almost everything at full speed. Control mapping is also great, and rumble support is there. It's really super easy to set up too, if you need any help we're on that. ePSXe is just too complicated, and I just don't like the way you have to call on Jesus everytime you add a game to your library. There are some here who swear by ePSXe, I've just never been one of them. Honestly when it was the only option I never cared for it, and once the first pSX revision came out I jumped on board and haven't had a single regret.

Happy birthday bro!

You bet compadre!

Yeah. Download gameexsetup.exe I mean.

Reinstall *using* the offline installer.

Update using the offline installer before enabling auto update. There you can select the path to install to. Make sure you uninstall the C: drive installation first.

This might be related to your multiple installs mentioned in the other thread, but I also think it may be related to the res problem Tom corrected a couple builds ago.

Ahh the update loop. Try installing the full package off of GameEx.com and then turn it on. Do you have two installs on your machine? One might be in C:/GameEx and the other might be in C:/Program Files/GameEx Just to make sure. Edit: yeah it sounds like you have 2 seperate installations there. Take out your removable drive and uninstall GameEx. Then put it back in and reinstall the offline installer. Be sure you point the installer at the F drive where your current install resides.

Does it crash for everything or just future pinball? Also, does it crash in full screen mode or just windowed mode?

I use UltraISO for the same thing essentially, in case MagicISO doesn't fill the void for you.

EMU CONTROLS 2.0: So I actually went and re-created my control panel screen, since using this delicious forum and have figured out how to make shift keys in xpadder (even make the controller vibrate when shift is pressed? Holy crap, this is an awesome little app!). I wanted to share the PDF in case anyone wants to use it. I used a size that matched my theme this time, so the template is 1680x1050. Of course, everything is customizable (as is the way with PSDs right?) Thanks to all of you who help me figure out how to get the most from my rig (and xpadder which was intimidating at first, but clearly superior once you get the hang of it), and thanks to Flash for his awesome theme! Hopefully someone will find this useful, no? Click here to download the PSD.

It's not like you don't have access to the best support system on the interwebz! MaLa and Atomiswave can sux it!

Hmm... are these multi-disk games? I've never seen one game spread out over multiple bin files unless of course the game is spread out over actual discs. I don't use ps2 images but this seems a little unusual. Also virtual clone drive doesn't load cue sheets, so to use bin/cue you should look to DamonsTools instead. Unless I'm missing something here...
