No Game working at all

[smaesh]

Hey,
I´m new to this forum and bevor I start my request I want to say, that i´m sorry of my english, but it´s not my nativ language. Hope you´ll understand it

So my problem is, that no game is even starting at all. I can´t use the bios also, even if I tell the emu to use the "fake" plugin for the dvd drive.
The game i´m testing with, is a original version of final fantasy 10, borowed from a friend. At first i tried to boot it from the dvd, but when this didn´t work, i dumped it onto my hard drive and tried to boot the created iso file, but that also didn´t work. The emu doesn´t even show a masage. Windows just says that the program is not responding. First I thougt i have to wait some time, but over 15 minutes? That is not that usual, is it? Tell me if i´m wrong.
So my system specs are:

intel q8800 @2.33Ghz
Nvidia 9600GT (pixel shader 4.0 and 512 mb ddr3 ram)
4096mb ram
OS: Windows Vista 32 bit version (yes i know the thing with my ram...)

I´m working with Pcsx2 in version 0.9.4 , just downloaded the package from the official website. Of course i´ve got a bios too. I also worked myself through the beginners guide on the main page, but it didn´t change anything at all.

So, I hope my englsich was not that worse, and you can help me with my problem. I really want to play this game, my friend said that it´s amazing, and i believe him, because i played other FF games bevor.

So i say thank you in advance!

Sounds like some bad configuration.List your plugins and their settings.Also all your PCSX2 settings

Hey Bositman,

Thanks for your early answer.
For better explanation i made some screenshots and put them all into one picture. I didn´t make a picture of every setting, such as sound, but if they are important too, i can make some of course.
For my CPU is everything enabled and framelimiter to normal.
Just a question: is it important what kind of bios i have? just to compare, the one that i have is exact 4 mb big.

Thanks for coming answers again! and if anything in my description is missing, just tell me and i´ll add it.

Ok first,update your GSdx to the latest 0.1.13:
http://www.pcsx2.net/downloads.php?p=plgn
And update your DirectX:

That should do it

I´m helpless!

I downloaded the new drivers and the plugin, applied it and all that happens is: nothing!
Does ist matter that it says: rom 1 not found ; rom 2 not found and erom not found?
I attatched a screenshot, what happens after i launched the game via Run -> execute. What can be the reason? Does anything of my system not meet the minimum specs?

I really don´t know why this is happening.

PS: bevor you ask, the language on the screenshot is german (on the top of the window). "Keine Rückmedlung" means "No respons"

Thanks in advance again!

OK first disable patches (Misc->Enable/disable patches) and also run the game via FIle->Run CD/DVD.

Hey,
Nothing of these methodes helped, but i discovered something.
When I tzried to run the game on my notebook it worked, but the notebook just has a 32mb Grafic card and a 2Ghz Single Core CPU
Its OS is XP Home Edition

Vistas compatibiliety mode doesn´t work, so what can i do to make in run on my main machine, with vista?
The option, that the settings are wrong, can´t exist anymore, because i used the same as on the other pc.

Thanks

You don't have to run it in compatibility mode.

[smaesh]

I Know. It was just a try, but it doesn´t matter. It crashes when I run in compatibility mode and it crashes when I run it in the regular way.
I think it must be something related to my vista.
It is the 32bit version of vista home premium.
If that can´t be, it musst be my hardware. Maybe pcsx can´t handel with quadcore cpus? or my Graficcard is not supported? It´s a Intel Q8800 CPU and a Nvidia 9600GT with the latest drivers (WHQL180).

As I said, on my laptop it´s working, but it´s specs are too low to play it over 10 fps or so.

[Graylord]

Im running vista 32bit home premium myself, so yeah, it's not that.

Have you simply tried updating your drivers? it's probably not that, but it doesn't hurt to try.
