RunCDVD - New feature explained
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Q: What CDVD stands for?
|
|
|
|
A: It is a short form for CD/DVD i.e. CD or DVD.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Q: Can I run games?
|
|
|
|
A: What do you mean by games?
|
|
There are two types of games: commercial ones and homebrew ones.
|
|
There are also two types of demos: from magazines and homebrew.
|
|
Homebrew SW will run first as they are simpler and are open-source sometimes.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Q: Can I run commercial games?
|
|
|
|
A: Yes, but this answer is not good for you:P
|
|
You cannot play them...
|
|
Technicaly, the game starts but it does not go very far,
|
|
because this is only the beginning...
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Q: So, what's the deal then? Is there any game that run? more?
|
|
|
|
A: Yes, but as far as we know, not any comercial game.
|
|
Homebrew iso version of PSMS runs ok.
|
|
Also we cannot test with all the games as we don't have them all:P
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Q: When can I play game X ?
|
|
|
|
A: Dunno, only time can say that...
|
|
We only added the CDVD loading option for now.
|
|
You will have to wait for another version of the emu to see any screenshot.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Q: How do I run a CD/DVD game or iso/bin?
|
|
|
|
A: You need a CDVD plugin.
|
|
Get the CDVDbin for Windows & CDVDlinuz for Linux
|
|
from http://pcsx2.ngemu.com (Download section) or from http://www.ngemu.com
|
|
Place it in Plugins directory. Run the emu and in configure dialog choose
|
|
that plugin. Then Run->Execute. When using the CDVDbin plugin
|
|
you will be promted to choose a file to use.
|
|
Select the iso or the bin of the game you own.
|
|
(To test that use psms.iso)
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Q: I have the game X on CD/DVD. What's the iso/bin stuff anyway?
|
|
|
|
A: Well, if you have a game on CD/DVD and a bad CD/DVD drive,
|
|
you can backup it on the harddisk with a CD/DVD recording program or a simple
|
|
iso/bin ripper. That program will make an image of the CD/DVD disc
|
|
on the harddisk and you can use that image with the CDVDbin plugin.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Q: What's the difference between .iso and .bin formats?
|
|
|
|
A: Bin is an image with raw sectors of 2352 bytes.
|
|
Iso contains only the data part from a CD sector; ie. 2048 bytes
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Q: I have more questions. Where are the answers?
|
|
|
|
A: First of all, think twice before asking a question.
|
|
It might be already answered or the answer is toooooo simple.
|
|
Also, there can be more questions that i missed. Use the PCSX2 forum
|
|
on http://www.ngemu.com for that. Thank you!
