Question about command lines

[GreySZ]

Hi everyone, new guy here . I just recently downloaded and installed this pSX emulator and got all the necessary BIOS, .dlls and all that. I've run into a problem with the game Xenogears. The sound is all messed up! Now before you go pointing me towards another thread, I have honestly looked at all of them, looked at the FAQ, looked around the internet, and the best I've gotten is "use the -S command line". So my question is: what is this command line? How do I enter it into the game? I've looked around the configurations for this emulator and I can't figure out where I'm supposed to enter this "-S" that will supposedly fix my sound. Please help!

"command line" is a way to browse/launch executables from a windows command line interface (like the good ol' DOS) instead of using the windows graphical interface (using your mouse/icons).

from windows XP, command line interface is launched by typing "cmd" from Start-Execute.

you should obtain a windows with just a cursor blinking and waiting for you to enter any text command (so, that's the command line interface).
from here, you should first get to the directory you'v pSX : so if you put pSX in d:\pSX, type
d:
cd pSX

then type the following command :

psxfin -S

and it'll launch pSX with the -S option activated, use it as usual.

you can also type psxfin -h , and you'll have a list of different commands available.

if you never used command line before, it can be difficult to use..
so you can have an alternative way :
first, create a shortuct of the pSX executable (right-clic, move and release, choose create shorcut here)
then, edit the properties of this new shortcut (right-clic, properties) and look for a "target" box.
in this "target" box you should see something similar to this : "E:\pSX_1_1\v1.1\psxfin.exe" (since mine is in E: drive)
and modify it to obtain : "E:\pSX_1_1\v1.1\psxfin.exe -S"
close the properties windows, and now double-clic this new icon : you'v launched pSX with the -S option.

this way you can have the original pSX with default options (original icon) and a second shortcut wich will launch pSX with the -S option...at your taste.
