Resident Evil 2 freezing on epsxe 1.7.0

Trying to run RE2 on epsxe 1.7.0 and when I get to the shop in the start of the game it freezes. I keep switching plugins and d/l the plugins pack from here and I'm using Petes Open GL1.76 (video), EpsxeSPU core 1.7.0 (sound), epsxe CDR WNT/W2K
core 1.7.0(cdr). I've run a few gameflawlessly on these settings. Any suggestions? Thanks.HoustonTX224

Try using other graphic plugins, like Pete's OpenGL2.

Thank meganova..Still switching plugins and nothing yet..I'll give it a try for a bitmore..Eyes are getting heavy..lol

Try the psx emulator, might work better.

If that doesn't work,
Try using the older version of ePSXe, like 1.5.2 or 1.6.0
and change the sound plugin to Eternal SPU Plugin.Many people found that the game often crash/freeze on 1.7.0.

I have that problem, too. I figured it happens when you move into a new area (whether you enter places like the gun shop, or just go further in the area you are in). All I did is just use a save state after moving into a few new areas, then when it freezes, I just restart, load it and I'm able to go further. (But that can get tedious so I'll try using an older version)

houstontx224, I recommended to you to use the PSX Emulator V.1.13.

well ..it works all right with me on the epsxe 1.7 emulator using openGL2 plugin and the other plugins you said you use..!!!
