    Adjust your graphics plugins. What game are you using and what are your plugins?

    how d you load the game?
    thats the normal start screen with the pete OpenGL 2....
    seems like the rom hasnt loaded yet!

    That's what happens when the ISO fails to load due to plugin errors. Adjusting the plugins will let it load correctly.

    psx does not support anywhere near as many games as ePSXe does, and ePSXe does support gamepads.

    Change your plugin settings.

    What games are you trying to play? What version of ePSXe are you using?

    Framerate: i have "use FPS limit" checked off and auto detect FPS/frame skipping limit
    Options: i have "scanlines disabled" under the section scanlines
    and nothing else checked off

    Sound: i have both ePSXe SPU core 1.7 and P.E.Op.S. DSound Audio Driver 1.9 with P.E.Op.S. selected

    i have P.E.Op.S. CDR Driver 1.4 selected with the following:

    You should probably avoid using soft drivers.

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

    maybe the game is not supported? if other games work then maybe it's a compatibility problem in epsxe.

    I don't believe it's a compatibility issue. Searching on google shows others playing the Persona games on ePSXe, and some lists say that both Persona 1 and Persona 2 have 100% compatibility with ePSXe.

    If I had the points, I'd download the game and set it up myself to help you out with the settings, but I currently don't. You just need to adjust your plugin settings. Try the different "Game Fixes" in your settings as well.

    Also, you can try an older version of ePSXe like 1.5.2 as well.

    try using full screen mode at 800x600 as sometimes windowed mode doesn't work.

    okay here is an easy answer-download verison 1.6 of epsxe...

    While the latest one has cool stuff on it (1.7-your one) it isn't 100% compatible, like gundam battle assault 2-it will only work correctly on 1.6, not 1.7.

    The plugins you had were okay, except the cd plugin...

    I would use the default (ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.7), cd plugin, but it depends...

    Does your pc use that aspi rubbish?

    Are you trying to play psx disc?
    Are they roms from here?

    When ever I use those aspi drivers it never loads, so check what exact cd driver it is using, prehaps it's not the graphics card, but the epsxe, or as I just said the cd plugin...

    See how you go with that suggestion-I'm noob at roms but I have learnt a few things...
