One workaround we used to use for music CDs was to use CloneCD software to create an image that can be read, but alas I haven't tried looking into that either yet. I am unsure why PS2 games won't work at all. we wanted to bring back compatibility with said operating system. This allows you to play PS2 games on your PC, with many additional features and benefits. Recompilers and a Virtual Machine which manages hardware states and PS2 system memory. The game window will look like it normally does when you play on a PS2 console.Īs for how the emulator actually reads the disc and interprets that to Monster regeration from those game ISOs, I have no clue. PCSX2 is a free and open-source PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator.
Pcsx2 dev build iso#
All of this takes place under the CDVD tab-> then ISO Selector tab in the PCSX2 window. When that happens, you will then swap back to the Monster Rancher 4 disc iso. It will check the disc and tell you to place the Monster Rancher 4 disc back in the game tray. When you go to the shrine feature in game and pick the generate from disc option for the USA version of the game (I have not tested with the PAL release), you will go to the emulator option and swap a disc when the in-game dialogue says to do so. Sure, so the options for the emulator include a disc swapping feature that utilizes ISOs.
Fun for a new playthrough with different monsters! The way the emulator reads the information on the disc must be different than the original format because I get a whole bunch of random things. Other note, every monster list you find online for a PSX game giving such and such monster, toss those out. Similar nonsense that was occurring previously. The game will freak out and think you inserted the MR4 disc.of course. PSX disk swapping will work, but it will not allow swap of PS2 discs currently. Some fun notes about the emulator and Monster Rancher 4. I am currently using the unstable release "v1.5.-g56b76b17a" It is heavily frowned upon to post a link to BiOS or anything similar including ISOs, so i am not going to mention anything of the sort. So, I may have accidentally stumbled upon the dark side of Youtube a few weeks back and came across someone who had a setup that had Monster Rancher 4 working with emulator something I previously thought was impossible (outside of using gameshark to shrine monsters).Īnyways I wanted to include the link to the emulator software I am using that the Youtuber seemed to be using.
