ePSXe Issues. (Black screen)

Alright, so I've been using ePSXe all my life basically and have recently started getting a problem with it.

The problem with it started once I changed to Windows 7 64 bit.

The problem: I get a black screen no matter what game I try to run. The game isn't freezing because I can still press escape and get back to the 'emulation panel' I checked for guides and most of them say it's a plugin or file name problem, but I've tried changing to .img and .ccd files etc and I get no different results. This was with ePSXe 1.7 so I tried 1.6 and the same problem occurs.

What games am I trying to run?

Gran Turismo 2, FF9 and some others, but the fact is I have run them all before with little or no issues.

The only other thing I can think of is perhaps I set at too high a resolution? But I doubt that, I mean it gave me an 1980x1080 option.

I'm not sure, I have re-downloaded it as well to see if it would make any difference, but it didn't.



Any help would really rock.
Thanks.

 

When you changed to Windows 7, did you change your physical computer? Are you using different hardware?

What plugins are you using, and what are their configurations? (specifically, what graphics plugin).

 

I actually forgot to mention that, sorry

Yeah I did get a another graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 5670 (Direct X10)
I also added another gig of RAM putting me at 3 gigs.

Not sure if any of those could cause issues though I'm not sure.

Plug ins I'm using:

P.E.Op.S OpenGL Driver 1.78 and P.E.Op.S soft driver 1.18

I also tried Pete's D3D Driver 1.77

I have a few others, but I can't recall if I have tried them, I'll list them anyways.

Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.77
Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.9


Using P.E.Op.S DSound Audio Driver 1.9

 

Have you tried running it in windows mode? Try set the plugins settings to 'Nice'.

 

Fiddling with your graphics plugin will be your best bet. It's likely that your old setup worked with the plugins, but your new card won't.
Since you have a non-Nvidia card, start by using the Pete's D3D and DX drivers. Set them to "Nice" defaults and work from there.

A black screen usually indicates a graphics plugin problem (either need a different plugin or different configuration). The game will sit at a black screen, but you can still ESC and return to the ePSXe GUI, this is normal.

 

HELLO!!! I FOUND A VERY UNORTHODOX FIX TO THIS... I DONT GUARANTEE IT TOO WORK THO.. BUT IT WORKED FOR ME AND IT MADE ME JUMP AROUND THE HOUSE, SO WHAT I DID WAS:

1. I DOWNLOADED A BRAND NEW EMULATOR CALLED PSXeven
2. I COPIED THE PLUGINS AND BIOS FROM EPSXE TO PSXeven
3. I RAN MY ISO ON PSXeven and it worked!! I WAS HAPPY ENOUGH FROM THERE
4. BUT WHEN I OPENED EPSXE AND TRIED MY ISO THERE, IT WORKED TOO!!!
5. I DONT GUARANTEE IT TO WORK THO... BUT HEY GIVE IT A TRY... I ALSO PRAYED VERY HARD ;D
