Pff... I still can't get the damn emulator to *do* anything. Like I've said before, it seems to be the exact opposite of pSX in that you have to configure *everything* perfectly before it'll even load a game. I think I tried it out because someone asked about getting CEP to work with it or something, but I never got past trying to load a game. Of course, it seemed a rather funny question to ask in the first place, considering Xebra and CEP are both written by the same person. I don't think I could have much respect for the guy if he didn't even make his program that modifies memory addresses of programs (with a specific aim at Playstation emulators) work with his own Playstation emulator! XD

I think I have to make an iso out of my games because I can't get the damn thing to work using my original discs.

Yes, it's not very Gaijin-friendly.

I must admit this: I prefer to play with pSX the games but not because it's simple to use... because... ehm... I can't explain, there is something on pSX that it's wonderful... ehm!!!

Ok, I think I'm gonna try to give Xebra another try. Perhaps with a little persistance, I'll have better luck this time. I'm sure it won't replace my usage of pSX, but I always do enjoy playing around with highly configurable programs (maybe I should just shorten that to HCP's, eh?)... which is the main reason that ePSXe is even still on my computer in the first place.

Gah... I can't get it to work at all. It doesn't even really load a "drive"... trying to load an actual CD, the browser just opens the CD itself, as if it needs an actual file. And loading a .mds, .cue, or .iso file does nothing either. It just sits there and does nothing at all. I tried both the ARBEX.EXE and XEBRA.EXE programs, and both acted the same way (although ARBEX.EXE switched to some crappy logo when I tried running anything, but that's about it). I think it's about time for me to give up. I configured everything I could find to configure, but it didn't seem to help at all anyway. I'm writing off Xebra as a useless piece of crap until I can get it to flinch or *something*... I'd be so much happier if it at least *TRIED* to do something and froze, rather than just sit there like I didn't tell it to run anything in the first place. Edit: Well, I take that back now. I got it to work, by using the recommended guide here. Don't know how I missed something simple like loading the BIOS... I guess I just didn't associate "OS ROM" with "BIOS" for some reason. Anyway, it seems to work really nicely. Just a bit laggy though, and that's before even getting in-game. Maybe experimenting with the three different "run" choices will yield some good results...

I could never get it to work, either, GM. And I don't know of any Linux version, so... I must admit, pSX's site being in English is a great 'something'. On the other hand there may be Japanese members of the forum - or even just browsing it - whose reaction is "I wish it was as easy to understand as the Xebra site." They probably haven't posted a comprehensive, easy to understand guide to running Xebra in Linux here for exactly that reason...

Well, have you tried running it in Windows at all? And if so, did you properly load the BIOS first? Now that I've gotten the damn program to work, I look forward to a little testing... see what kind of problems it may have compared to pSX. Maybe someday it'll even run at full speed... LOL.

I had the exact same problem as GM did. It didn't occur to me at all that OS ROM actually meant BIOS, and after a while I just asked for stranger a bit of help, since he had some experience with the program.
Of what I gathered from my brief test earlier (previous version) it's really cpu intensive, and for some reason the game looked like it was working on a smaller palette. Though it could have easily been some configuration problem.

If the Xebra site is easy to understand in Japanese, then apparently I'm a freakin' caveman, cause regardless of language, it looks like a bunch of gibberish. Hopefully the first line of the page is "Just scroll to the bottom so you can get the emu already". ;D
