THIS THREAD IS NOT FOR POSTING COMPATIBILITY REPORTSThis is a thread dedicated to when I update the compatibility list. Frequency of updates will depend on the amount of new data needing to be add to the list. If you would like to see which titles will be added to the next update, please see recent threads of games tested in this forum. Thanks to all who have contributed the results of their game testing. pSX Compatibility ListLast Update: May 10th, 2009

Definitely needs stickying.
People also need reminding that first, you need to cross check your information when posting about games working or not working: i.e. you need to look in the compatibility list to see what has already been reported for the game.
Additionally, you need to put a little more than the name of the game and what went wrong or didn't. You need to report which version of the emu you're using and which BIOS; perhaps configuration info if relevant, too. As well as the name of the game, you need to report the Game ID. If you have the original case, it should be on the spine; if you don't, look at the contents of the CD: there should be a file with the name S***.<numbers>; S*** is usually SLES, SCES, SCUS, SLUS or something like that. That's the Game ID. It may be in a folder, although this is not usual. If you only have an image, mount it with something like Daemon Tools and you can look at the contents. Add whether it's an NTSC or PAL version and, if appropriate, what country version it is. Remember that, if it's an image or a burned disk, the problem may have been with the ripping/burning process: apart from anything else, many Playstation games are copy protected.
If you're having problems with it, some information on your system may be relevant, particularly if it's fairly low end. What OS you're using is useful; as is the controller you're using. If you're reading from CD, it's useful to know whether you're using IOControl or ASPI, and what ASPI you're using if you are.
Have I covered everything? Probably not...
Lastly, try to make your report comprehensible and describe any problems clearly: i.e. where in the game they crop up, what happens (or doesn't) and, as far as you can say, as a result of what?

Maybe you could add the contributor !!! I have a website with 5 compatibility list. And I add his name/nickname beside his test. This is just an idea

Problem is, what happens when several people have contributed to a game's info, thesiskoo? Good idea; it would be nice to credit people, but not necessarily practical. ;-)
Do you mean yours is a pSX compatibility list? Maybe you should post a link!

With me, there are some "beta testers", and atm, there is no problem to credit. When a guy tests a game, he tries to follow the game with each new release of an emulator. Or if he can't, another guy take his place. And I credit the new guy. The website is : www.emu-compatibility.comLists are : Satourne, Saturnin, Yabause, SSF and Chankast. sorry about my english, but English to my native language, I have no problem. The other way is more difficult for me

Stickified =] @ thesiskoo: I tend to agree with patrickp here, as I explained in my posts to lordartzi here. I read the post and this is another point of view. I respect it No problem, it was just a proposition

Yeah, for me, keeping the fields to a minimum is all about keeping a managable file size. So, I got rid of all the fields I felt safe in getting rid of, and won't add any unless there's a really, really good reason.
And getting rid of the BIOS field is still in the back of my mind - it would probably shave 40-50k off the file size. Much like settings, any relevant info to the BIOS could probably just be moved to the comments section.
Maybe that's something I'll do this weekend.

Yep, I had been suggesting the BIOS thing. I think people generally use SCPH1001 to test games anyway, so it's probably safe to assume that it's the one they use.

Ok, I've thrown an update up without the BIOS field - only about a dozen games or so had used other bios anyways.
