PSX-reARMed - DW7

[Prophet]

Has anyone gotten Dragon Warrior 7 to work on PSX-reArmed v10 (or earlier versions)


I'd love to carry this gem around with me, but for some reason all I get is a black screen after game loading. No errors, no noises, just darkness. I'm hoping one of you fine folks has managed to succeed where I have failed.

Try r9. I had the same thing with Breath Of Fire III (PAL)

Thanks for the input. r9 does exhibit different behavior. though its worse. Crashes straight to the desktop. r10 just seems to hang.


I checked out the output log and see the following in the pndrun out log:

I think im seeing here the file being loaded, and me quitting the app a few minutes later with no useful errors in between... though an expert may know more.

Well for anyone who finds this thread later my issue turned out to be BIOS related. So if you see similar symptoms in this or another game its worth looking into...
