PS1P "Loading game..." STUCK!

**m0th** · November 26th, 2006, 05:57

Any ideas of the cause? Does this mean the game is not compatible, Bad ISO rip, Incorrect bios file? Ive tryed a few games now and this is all I get, try to exit and its frozen. I thought for sure something like Bustamove 4 would surely work. If someone knows the cause lemme know until than Ill keep beating my head into the wall trying to get ANY game to work. I already looked into scph1001.bin... every one Ive found is exactly the same from multiple sources/networks.

BTW: Im trying to rip my brothers PS1 retail CDs. The BIOS file I have no idea how to rip from his PSOne, but since he owns it he has rights to own the bin file... I assume.

EDIT: No luck there, either his CDs are scratched beyond repair or my DVD-R desnt like them. As for RE2 iso I downloaded its in mif er something and MagicISO doesnt recognize it.. guess I have an ealier build. This sucks mostely cos Ive come to the realization that the newer dvd players/recorders are way less forgiving, you need like a scratch free... whooof whooof!! blow off the dust. AND your CD/DVD player MIGHT read it without error. Funny thing is he could pop those games into his PSP2 and play them but damned if my 2 dirrent drives wont. I have an old ass 4x cdr drive... psh! prolly have more luck with dat.

Perhaps you should first try a game that is confirmed to run...Heres a list :

People use ISO Producer for your games

Just put in the ps1 disk on your pc run iso producer and then save it

What if we dont have a port to insert memory sticks into the pc? Whats wrong with ripping a game with Magic ISO as a BIN and than transfering via USB?

Well, I ripped Bload Roar 2 as a bin using MagicISO. I put it on the PSP and still get "Loading game...". Ill check the list and see if I have any compatible games and try that.

ISO Producer is much better ^ ^ what do you mean you dont have a memory stick space you dont need it the ps1 game disk is a disk so you put it in your cd drive

Magic ISO is fine to use, ive test crash bandicoot 1 as a .bin and .iso on this program works fine, can even rip the sound the too.

Ripped Busta-Move that is confirmed to work. Same problem, stuck at "loading game..." Just to make sure i did a proper rip, I loaded up the bin file with PCSX and the game plays fine. Also using the exact bios file so I know thats not it either. Any suggestions?
