As you have SSE2, I think you should give SSF a shot

 

[Borisz]

Doubt you would get any good speeds on it. Not even if you set back your cpu to 2,4ghz.

 

[Sola Kusanagi]

it dont matter il manage (^^)

also i got a 1.5GHz pross* but the Internal Clock Maximum is 2.4 GHz whats up with that?

what does SSE2 mean anyways?

 

[Agozer]

what does SSE2 mean anyways?

Streaming SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) Extensions 2. A bunch of extra processor instructions made by Intel that make certain calculations faster and add new ones.

 

[Sola Kusanagi]

i got SSF running but for some odd reasion it done wanna boot the game from the disk "Dragon Force

is there a way to bypass this?

 

[Agozer]

You need to change the region to match the game. If that doesn't work, Google for a tool called SatConv, and change the image's region.

DONT convert images. If you really-really need to resort to regionpatching, use SRP from http://madroms.free.fr.

In this case, just edit the region field in SSF Options. Stupid iso kiddies not even knowing what region game they are playing...

The guy who put your computer together was an idiot. It means you have a 2,4ghz cpu but its only running at 1.5ghz. So you can clock it higher in the Motherboard BIOS or with some kind of motherboard tool. Don't mess with it if you don't know how to do it, however, as you can risk damaging your CPU if you put wrong speed settings on it. (well not really, as modern motherboards wont even start up with a badly set up CPU speed but just don't mess with it if you have no clue on how to do it)

 

[Agozer]

DONT convert images..

Usuallly you don't have to, since just changing the region in the options is sufficent. However, I had a copy of radiant Silvergun which refured to work in any region setting until I had chaged the region inside the image itself.

That would mean that the image itself was fucked up. Make your own CD Images from original discs instead of downloading them from faggot http "ROM SITES", mmkay?

No one in their right mind uses "faggot http romsites" these days. Having a bad day, are we?

u calling me a stupid ISO kiddie?
the games Region im assuming its US
Dragon Force (Saturn_USA).bin
Dragon Force (Saturn_USA).cue
i still have the images in a rar zip. from past EXP with Deamon Toolz would Crash my System reguardless of the fact im useing the right settings and Alcohol 120% didi want to work on my burner drive nor could i get it to mount image files without the same probs Daemon Toolz give me
i used MagicISO to convert or make a ISO version of the image so im thinking it should work fine

i went though all of SSF's settings that i though was the prob

as for the my PC i had to manage 90% of my money goes on school and bills

That would mean that the image itself was fucked up. Make your own CD Images from original discs instead of downloading them from faggot http "ROM SITES", mmkay?

i invited my friend over and used nero to make a image of it and burned it on a disk same prob o.o

the region is US since the whole game is in english

my Regional And Language Options > Advanced > Language For non-Unicode Programs is set to japanese since i do all my school work in japanese but that shoudnt effect SSF in anyway
EDIT:
if this is the case the next time i reboot the settings will be on english hopefuly i wont get the same probs
if thats not the case im gonna try Imgburn hopefuly it burns bins

You would be surprised.

u calling me a stupid ISO kiddie?

No but you are making yourself look like one.

 

[Sola Kusanagi]

You would be surprised.


No but you are making yourself look like one.

well i was just asking

i cant really help but to use ISO's

but sice i got a upgrade that is worth it im gonna try burning the bin and cue files with alcohol 120% once i have time school is really keeping me on my feet

Having a bad day, are we?

Nah, just his usual day. XD
