I also attach save file with with all modes and gunblade unlocked. You can find saves to view true ending(se room 8), normal ending (se room 7), and sad ending(se room 3).

nice. just like the "chrono cross single disc" i downloaded long time ago. how? psp tools?

btw chrono cross single disc also works on ps4.

Has the latest version of the official PS1 emulator been dumped, and if not what is required to dump it?

btw chrono cross single disc also works on ps4.

its not psp tools, other tools but not all games work these method! For example Driver 2 works as 2 cd, but if you merge discs emu give u black screen after bios logo!

MGS1 ps1 emu from MGS collection is all packed inside bin file. They got smart on us...

 

[Vika23]

New PSX emu as you see it have really different structure!

 

[defiled]

I have been having some audio issues with the Japanese version of Silent Hill (SLPM-86192) --- the game runs and looks fine, but various sound effects (such as footsteps, weapons, etc) will just disappear at times and won't load again until later. The game never becomes completely mute as the ambient noise is still intact, and voice acting is still fine too. Some sound effects (like selecting something in the main menu) will emit a high pitched noise briefly.

This happens to be the case with every emulator I've tried. Any potential commands worth trying?

Try this: --use-lopnor-spu=1
The game also has a problem with the blood particle textures, they're supposed to be fully red but are white and red instead. Maybe this potentially new MGS emu could fix that.

EDIT: resolved the issue, turns out it was something unrelated to the emu config. But I will keep that lopnor command in line for future reference, thanks!

Can you tell us so that in the future, if other games have similar issues we can try that solution?

 

[defiled]

Can you tell us so that in the future, if other games have similar issues we can try that solution?

The Japanese version of Silent Hill, along with a lot of other import games released around that time had a modchip lockout. Any FPKG I made, regardless of the emulator, would always crash at the point where that lockout would be triggered on a real console. Luckily, there were Gameshark / hex codes from back then that allowed you to bypass the lockout and these can be conveniently referenced in a LUA script.

There were multiple codes listed for Silent Hill, and the code I was initially using worked in terms of bypassing the lockout crash, but unbeknownst to me was also causing the weird audio issue I posted about. I tried many emulators and emu configs but nothing made a difference, which baffled me because I know the US version runs absolutely fine. In the end just for the hell of it I tried one of the other Gameshark codes listed and wow so far everything is A-OK, audio sounds great. I got as far as the house with the dog house out front with no issues. I plan to do a full playthrough of the whole game later but I imagine I won't have any further problems.

While we're on this subject, the whole lockout thing has been interesting mainly because I didn't think it would still be an issue with today's emulators. I have made FPKGs for other games that have it (like Ore no Ryouri) and played them fine, but other games, such as the Japanese version of Ape Escape, would always crash at the same point, prompting my initial search for a solution on that front.

Assuming there are no Gameshark codes to work with for the game you want to play, there is another workaround. In case you are not familiar with it, there is a handy tool called APRip that can search a PS1 image for all the common lockout features and patch them out. I mainly use it for Japanese titles but it should work with all the PAL games that were known to have their own lockouts implemented.
