Launching a PSX image from Mednafen I get this

CD 1 Layout:
Disc Type: 0x20
Track 1, LBA: 0 DATA
Leadout: 317787 DATA

Using module: psx(Sony PlayStation)

Checking maximum texture size...
Apparently it is at least: 2048 x 2048
Using GL_BGRA, GL_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8_REV for texture source data.
Istruzione non consentita
the last line is "Operation not permitted", and Mednafen closes
How could I know what the problem is ?

I tried changing the video.driver, all of them (opengl,sdl,overlay) but nothing changed

On google I just found sound problems, but that is not my case...

Maybe I found out... after some trials with different parameters it started to tell (but not always) "ROM image is too large"

EDIT: No, that message is shown when the emu thinks that the bin is a megadrive game... but if I give the cue the problem must be another...

Hey, MODs, you can DESTROY this thread... this can't be solved

I had a official response that my processor is not able to run mednafen psx (SSE2 instructions are required)...
