Playing a Rom! ~-Need help-~

[ReapeRs_PreY_]

Okay, here's the deal.

Just tonight me and my friend downloaded the ePSXe emulator and all the plugins, bios, sound, video things.

We also downloaded Legend Of Legaia to play.

The problem were having is that when the original file is in the folder.(psx)

We do extract here, which gives us the single file.

It says to play it needs to be a certain file type.

I grabbed the file from this site.

When i tried playing it... it just didn't work, the "black screen of doom" which i call it showed up, and then i had to manually close it.

I followed the steps you guys had for configuring the ePSXe Emulator and it worked until i tried playing LOG.

Can anyone help?!

What is the three letter extension of the file you have?

Edit: I believe Legend of Legaia is in 7-Zip format. If so, download 7-Zip, install the program and then use it to extract the image from the archive. To do this, right click the file and find "7-Zip" and choose "Extract Here."

Weirdly it dosent have one, it says "file type [file]"

[manaman]

Really?! Um. . . . Could you please post a screenshot or let me know if my above post edit will solve your problem?

here you go.

D'oh! For some reason the screenshot is not opening for me. My browser is telling me there is an error with the GIF image. In any event, the download is definitely a 7z extension. When you downloaded this, did you do anything with it? Did you try to extract the image inside or are you simply tying to run the game while it is archived in 7-Zip format? You need to extract the file inside of the archive and inside should be a usable disc image. More information, please?

When i downloaded it, i put it straight into that folder.

After that, i right clicked it, and told it to extract here (to that folder)

The outcome was a sheet of paper looking thing with the file type of a (file).

I'm sorry--I can't understand what you're talking about. Would you please refrain from words like "it" and "that folder?" I'm not sure what you're referring to. Again, the only thing you should do to the file you downloaded is right-click it and choose "Extract Here." You shouldn't do anything else. Once you've done that, you simply need to open ePSXe and run the game from the file that appears.

I tried that, it dosent appear in the folder.

I sent you a screenshot of the folder that you asked for.

[manaman]

Hmmm,

I'm assuming that the "Legend Of Legaia Iso" is the file that you extracted. I would recommend in your folder going to Tools > Folder Options... > View > [uncheck the box marked] Hide extensions for known file types. Then you can see what file type you've downloaded and that would help me quite a bit.

Sorry and thanks for sending the screenshot!

it says that the file type for the (winrar) non extracted file is a 7-z.

So, what happened when i right clicked and extracted that file?

[manaman]

It should have appeared within the folder that you were in. If you try it again, look for if anything appears.

Dose it make a diffrience if it is unziped with 7-zip or Winrar?

[manaman]

You should extract it with 7-Zip, really. 7-Zip is freeware and I linked to it above.

I have it downloaded, and i put the 7.z file in there.

But it says its going to take 2-5 hours to extract.

i extracted the files with the 7-zip archive, but it had the same out come.

when i extracted it to the PSX folder it showed up as a "file".
