i was playing metal gear solid on psxfin emu (psx) and now i completed disk 1. So it tells me to insert disk 2. I have disk 2 iso file but i dont know what the hell to do! i tried to load it up but it just starts on main menu and i am using save states. Please any suggestions.

It is in the wrong section. Moved to General emulation.

Does it ask you to save right before it asks for the other disc? If it does then you can just run straight off the other disc without bothering with the first.

no it doesnt, it goes blank with just enter disk 2 and the mgs logo. I tried looking for disk 2 saves but cant find any either.

are you using a disc image? if so then use daemon tools and the swap disc function and it should work.

that shouldn't happen. You might just want to poke around their forums (http://psxemulator.proboards.com/index.cgi?) for a solution.

Well...you see the Daemon Tools icon in your taskbar, right? If you installed it it should be there. Right Click it, go to Virtual CD/DVD-ROM. You should see *at least* one drive listed. Mouse over the one you are using and you should see on the right an option to Mount Image. Pick that and mount the second disc.

Now, before doing that you could eject first, but I don't know if it would make a difference or not.

if your using Windows forget psxfin and use ePSXe its the best out there and i can tell you now it runs PS1 all sorts of ISO images and plays the games perfect. Well worth the time.

I've tried ePSXe on several computers over the years including the latest ones and it almost never ran or would die after a few uses.

I just tried out the last version of pSX a couple of days ago and it works great, didn't have to configure a thing or download one plugin and every game I've tried works perfect so far.

can you remember on what plugins you used for it ?

I found out the problem. Apparently pSX has built in compression and uses that instead of "zlib" which is always the error I get so I guess the creator of psx building that feature into the program itself solved that problem for me. Beside, I find pSX very simple to use.

pSX doesn't use plug-ins actually. It emulates everything in software IIRC. In that way, it's very easy to configure and is potentially more accurate than ePSXe, but that also means that it is far less configurable, and to some the output of it's video doesn't look as good. Arguably it's more accurate to what the PSX actually looks like though.

I was on about ePSXe when he used it and it failed to work for him as I have had the Emulator setup for over 2 years without any problems.

Everything you said is absolutely correct. It needed no adjustments and there have been no problems at all including any video glitches I find with a lot of emulators for even simpler systems like snes or nes. This emulator was crafted very well and works virtually seamlessly with my pc.
