Potemkin issue
F
I am using Potemkin Alpha downloaded from Emulatorzone and whenever i try to load up an ISO of Disgaea: Dark Hero Days, it always crashes and the program has to close down. So is the problem from the file size or something?Thanks.
T
The problem is probably compatibility.Try using a different PSP emulator, like JPCSP. http://jpcsp.org/
PSP emulation is still in it's infancy, so the game may not work on any of them.Instead you could try playing Disgaea 2 on the PS2 emulator PCSX2. http://pcsx2.net/

Thank you. I am trying to get JPCSP to work but it says that it cannot read the format, hmm. I downloaded the ISO as part of a two part download and i open it with a file which looks like its zipped. Any way to change the compatibility for format?
T
If it's two parts, you need to download them both and extract it using a program like WinRAR. It will combine them into the original disc image.
F
Well, they sort of came with the files in WinRAR format and i have WinRAR and unzipped them but they created another WinRAR file, haha. I don't know the name of the ISO itself from within the files and so i just could load it by the entire file in itself. I am downloading another copy from another source as i speak.
T
Just because the icon may be a winrar icon, doesn't mean it's a winrar file. Sometimes Winrar associates itself with disc image files.What are the file extensions of the files you are trying to use?
F
Oh, i see. So by file extensions you mean the files within the zipped thing.
T
File extensions, the file type, the part of the file name at the end, after the "." (period). It just lets your computer know what to do with the file.Like:
PSPGame.iso or PSPGame.rar or PSPGame.zip
F
Oh, in the zipped file it came with it came as WinRAR archive (.iso) and i just downloaded another one with the file name of cso.
T
ISO is not a winrar archive. ISO is a disc image. .CSO is just a Compressed ISO.You can use either ISO or CSO files for PSP games.
F
Ah, i see. Hmm, i tried running it on both emulators: Potemkin and JPC, but Potemkin still crashes and JPC wont even read the format.
