parasite eve 2 and pcsx hang ?

[FatalErrorX]

Was trying to play parasite eve 2 on pcsx, but when it loads it instantly hangs on square enix europe / usa logo (yes tried both versions using the SCPH7502 bios)


Tried what was suggested in another threat with the .SBI files but that didnt work either :S


Anyone mannaged to get it to work or should i stop trying and wait for a new release ?

Have you got access to another version of the BIOS - like 1001?

This game triggers PCSX timing weakness, there is a hack option in advanced options menu for this game, I don't know if it still works though.

can confirm that it doesnt seem to be working ... insta crashes the emulator


no luck with other bios's either :S

Also note that this game is copy protected (at least the euro PAL version is) so you probably should try patching it.


I know that in previous builds it worked, but only after enabling the hack and/or patching, but can't remember which.

i tired both versions with and without patch but it all ends up with with either a hang or a crash depending if the hack is on or not

Sorry for the late reply, finally got around to trying this last night. No need to patch the iso/bin if you activate the root counter hack option.But...


you're right, the option/hack is no longer available inside the current build of the emu: I know it was still there in R10 and it works. Maybe you could try having both version PNDs on your card, one in menu and one in desktop?

You can also try setting "PSX CPU clock" in advanced options to 100+ (need save config and reload CD image), it should be similar to what the old option did.
