ePSXe

[Ratmonkey]

Ok, I am at my wits end. I have been trying to configure GameEx with ePSXe emulator. I have tried using it under the external application settings and under the emulator setting to no avail. My end result is to be able to use this program to play games off of a disc, not an iso file (I am not sure if this will make a difference, but thought I should add it).

If anyone would give a step by step on how this is done I would be eternally grateful.

I am not locked into ePSXe as my emulator if anyone has something that works better.

I already posted this in the config section above, but I'll explain it here too, in case others haven't seen it there also...

first of all copy this into notepad

start/wait C:\Playstation\epsxe160\epsxe.exe -nogui -loadbin %1
Exit

and save as ePSXe.bat in your ePSXe folder (alongside the ePSXe.exe)

use this config...

[Emulator_2]
Enabled=True
STARTPAGENAME=Playstation
TITLETEXT=Playstation
StartPageLogo=
ROMFilter=*.iso;*.bin;*.img
RomsInFolders=False
RomPath=C:\Playstation\Games

You might need to open ePSXe beforehand and make it fullscreen.

You'll also need the games as a iso/bin/img on the harddrive too

Won't this setup only let you use isos or roms? Doesn't the -loadbin command restrict this to roms?

I have tried using the -cdrom command line and -cdrom e (e is my drive) and it doesn't look like either of these are supported anymore in ePSXe 1.6

I'm running epsxe directly without a batfile and got no problems.. (using epsxe version 1.52)

Mapkeys=True (or find the hacked version for frontends)

ShowDesktop=True

Command=epsxe.exe -nogui -loadbin "[Rompath]\[Romfile]"

Here's mine:

ROMFilter=*.bin

I use .bin files, they seem to work best. Remember if it doesn't load your CD drive from the command prompt, or for PSXE in the built-in gui, it won't do it from GameEx either. Get it working in the Emulator first before you try to use it via a frontend.
