Hello, i'm having issues with Tomb Raider 1, 2.

The games start, I reach the main menu, I can change settings etc and either select to start a new game or go to Lara's home and here's the bug......the screen goes blank as if to proceed to the loadig screen for eitherher house or the first level but all i see is a blank screen. FPseCE is still running as i can switch to portrait orientation and change settings etc but the game doesn't proceed past the black screen.

I have tried a full rom and a rom with ripped XA streams, both with the same results?

Has anyone esle managed to get TR1 or TR2 to work?

Tombraider series works only if you have a good CD image with .cue file in which all Audio tracks are well specified.

to run T1 and others , you need to compress it with PocketISO, if when openning ISO pocketiso doesn't find any AUdio track, then you missed something.

you need to set the CD sound volume > 0... because this game check the position within the music played and while setting cdsound to 0 stop Music playing....

if you don't do you won't be able to pass the main menu...

i have curently TR1 and TR2 working perfectly on my HD2 without any special option into fpse.ini....

So there is two solution for your problem, your ISO is bad, just paste here your cue file to verify, or you use badly PocketISO.

here is what i found out about this game !!
Read it Carefully to get this game working:


there are 4 versions of this game :

1st NTSC-U version
which i had .. doesn't work .. you can't get past the main menu and you don't here the music !!
(strange since i played that one with ePSXe 1.6 and got to the ending with no problem !!)

2nd PAL version
now this one work with no problems at all :) so be sure to get this version if you want to play the game

3rd NTSC-J version
(AKA Tomb Rider II The BEST) don't know why exactly :lol:
well i haven't really tested this one :mrgreen:

4th BETA Version (AKA Tomb Rider 2 Starring: Lara Croft) :o which doesn't have a code (i mean like SLUSXXXX) !!
but it has some bugs in it and to be specific at level 10 ..
you can't get past the cave with the big fan blocking the entrance no matter what you try you cant finish the level ..

and as schtruck said:
this game check the position within the music played

so you have to be sure that your image has all the audio tracks in it even The PAL version ..
and be sure to set CD sound > 0 because 0 = off and then the game can't check your progress !!

thank you schtruck :)

enjoy :)
