Stop! :D

P.s: Go see your post in Wanted Abe! Game :p

EPSXE is a good emulator, its a pain to configure though, you can get one for the xbox too if its modded, but the xbox dosen't like to read psx1 cd's :/

2D graphics are all messed up.
I use pSX v1.13. That's ok.

If you don't know the answer, don't post. It's pretty simple.

You shouldn't be emulating Abe's Oddysee. Can't you just play it on the PS1 normally or just buy it for the PC like a normal person?

1st I have the PC version.
2nd If I wanted to play on PS1, I would do it.

Nobody found it funny.

Shut up, spamfuck.

I like ePSXe, but the real trick is finding the best config: It took me an hour to get Spyro the Dragon right.

metroixer 11-24-2007 04:49 PM

Well, I just got ePSXe. Actually extracting AO ROM (I have the game, my playstation broke >_>) to my documents right now. Although I'm not sure if I'm doing this right XD.

Whatever, I made a contribution.

mollucks assistant, Ghost was right (though it would have been better if she hadn't sworn). If you're not actually contributing to a thread, don't post anything. Don't post to merely agree with something or to say that you don't know anything.

Strike Witch 11-24-2007 08:14 PM

She?!?

Maybe I should just buy a big Sarcasm sign.

Wil 11-25-2007 04:35 AM

Maybe I should buy a big ‘Get back on topic’ sign. The author of the next off‐topic post gets reprimanded.

LaraRaider 11-25-2007 06:01 AM

It ok, I used ePSXe, with Pete's Soft GPU, Eternal SPU, and the Sapu CD plugin. And a 7502 Bios.
It only take 10 minutes to configure the graphics for AO.

Hobo 11-25-2007 08:59 AM

Surely the legality of such emulators is questionable. Though as two GD proficient moderators have posted here i'll assume they've given it the ok.

Paul 11-25-2007 10:09 AM

Right, since people seem to be unclear on this:

- The 2D graphics in EPSXE are not screwed up if you use the right GPU plugin and configure it correctly

- EPSXE is not illegal, however it requires a copy of the psx BIOS to run which is ilegal if you don't own a real playstation (I downloaded my bios from my PS1 via a comms cable/ catflap)

- There are some ps1 emulators like Bleem! which are discontinued because they came packaged with the ps1 bios, thus sony sued them for a stupid amount of money and shut them down.

- There are no ps1 "ROMS" they are disc images or real cd's, using a disc image is illegal because it means you've got a copied version of an orignal disc ( yes you might have made it from your "real" ps1 disc but thats still illegal remeber )

- So in short, you have to own a real ps1, you need an original copy of the ps1 version of the game, if you have a disc image its illegal, same for a copy of the ps1 bios without owning a ps1

Jordan 11-25-2007 01:00 PM

Is it illegal if you use the actual PS1 disc in the disc drive?

Hobo 11-25-2007 02:23 PM

While i understand what Paul said, I don't know what the OWF official stance is, and so i will be viewing this thread with caution.

- Pete's Soft GPU for 2D Games (read in NGEmu forums)

- I already know that

- I'm using Windows XP, I cannot run Bleem! or VGS

- I'm running Abe's Oddysee by CD Drive.

- I've followed this guide to dump the bios, I wasted a little money... Buying DexDrive http://forums.ngemu.com/misc-psx-dis...ing-guide.html

Hobo 11-26-2007 01:23 PM

You're willing to mess up your PC just to play a game? Wow you ARE dense.

LaraRaider 11-26-2007 01:31 PM

My PC doesn't break so easily, and if breaks, format-it.
Simple!

Hobo 11-26-2007 01:43 PM

I am so hoping you really explode the motherboard or something.

aaj111 11-27-2007 08:03 AM

I thought this forum frowned upon Emulators?

no, and I dont know why this forum would have anything against emulators either, basicly dont pirate the psx bios or AO/AE and you're good

~^_^~ 11-27-2007 11:12 AM

What is legal about emulator:
If you HAVE the CD, or game, and it dosent work and you download whatever it is to play with it, then its ok.
you CAN use the CD in your drive.
Illegal:
Downloading the things if you dont have it, and stealing stuffs. I thinks thats about it.
Oh, and ESPXE is pretty good i heard.

Zerox 11-27-2007 12:50 PM

WTFFFFFFFFFF.

I'm pretty sure we discussed emulations of Oddworld here a while ago and pretty much everyone went mad because we weren't allowed to talk about such evil things here.

Like an alternate universe O.o

prob cause it was more along the lines of:

"LOLZ WHERE DO IGET THE ABE ROMZ DOWNLOAD ON THE EMULATORZ 4 DA GAMES ON PC??//"

Wil 11-27-2007 04:04 PM

Yep. Emulators are difficult for us (the staff) to work out what exactly constitutes an infraction of the law, and hence our rules. Emulators are not necessarily illegal. Downloading the game from anywhere is not up for discussion, especially telling how to do it, because there is then nothing to stop the curious downloading the games illegally.

aaj111 11-29-2007 02:11 PM

What they should do, is just release the game online for free. I mean, in real world terms, the game is actually hard to find. But everyone loves it! Come on Oddworld. Let us have it.

I can definitely understand anything on the PS2 age and up.

Paul 11-30-2007 02:03 PM

They don't even do that with SNES games, what makes you think its going to happen with AO? Its their IP they can do whatever the hell they like with it, plus you could just keep saying that for every game or as some excuse to justify piracey

Nate 11-30-2007 04:46 PM

Besides, they'll probably want to rerelease the games in parallel with the movies.

mlg man 11-30-2007 10:55 PM

i have the abe's oddysee ps1 version and i use a emulator that has a ps1 for a logoand works perfet with all games, i have hundreds and all work, depends on your computer speed.:( but i dont know what the prgrams called.

abe is now! 12-01-2007 05:25 AM

Excuse me for my ignorance, but how can i use an emulator :fuzemb:? Maybe copying the game from the CD of the PSX?

Paul 12-01-2007 06:51 AM

fix your ignorance and read that copying the CD is illegal

LaraRaider 12-07-2007 03:16 PM

Looks like there isn't many space for me.

Paul 12-07-2007 04:17 PM

Isnt many space for you? :s
