![]() ![]() Written by Air of the PCSX2 development team, as of December 2010 the current version (v1.4.0) is considered usable and mostly complete. SPU plugin (and all the other plugins I belive) is a 32-bit DLL binary file with appropriate resources, function calls, computing logic and function entry points in it (calling exactly that mysterious plugin config), all we have to do is type one single command in a command prompt (the console that is), calling "rundll32", telling it to load the SPU plugin binary and pointing it to the desired entry point in the binary which starts the config window.Tagged as "the reverberating SPU2 plugin", SPU2-X is the latest, most supported, and best sound plugin for the PCSX2 emulator. "rundll" is for 16-bit binaries (for more info about that read the article at. These programs load a given DLL executable in the memory and operates with it the way the user wanted to (at least in the sunny days ). Windows system support (the system that is) has a tool, named "rundll.exe" and its big brother "rundll32.exe". We don't have to download some fancy third party applications to do it. The thing is that we need some way to call that plugin (load it in the system memory) alone. 100) before be able to start the emulator in a way WE WANT IT to work. But don't fear - every ZiNc user know that you would not escape from typing one or two commands/config settings (in average case it takes about 20 to say. So why do we have to start a GUI PSX emulator to tell it to call the config window for us - can't we do it ourselves? Yes, we can. The code, needed for the window to exist is IN the plugin - after all the plugin is nothing else, but an executable DLL. The PSX emulator calls that "hardly accessible" SPU plugin configuration window from the plugin itself. But the plugin's and emulator's binaries told me something else. Every time I want to change some settings in the plugin in order to use it with the ZiNc emulator first I would have to run the other (PSX) emulator, made the changes, exiting the other emulator and then running the ZiNc emulator which will load the plugin with the current settings.įhheewhat a mind job. Download the emulator and do all the copy/paste/delete/rename/extract/download-resources/search-for-bioses/abort/retry/fail.

DSound SPU plugin BUT here's the issue - everywhere I look and in every documentation I read (including yours) about how to set and run external PSX plugins with ZiNc I find the same thing: Like many other people around the net I decide to try what external plugins suits me best and that's how I stumbled upon your site. yes, I prefer to work with the ZiNc emulator, and although it's a little bit of "oldish" already, it's stable and runs decent in most cases. You can easy predict which of the three I choose to try with. So I do some research and find out that only emulators that emulate these games are MAME (the newer and heavier versions of it), Impact (a very old and buggy and outdated and not-so-stable emulator) and the ZiNc emulator - in other words, emulators that implement Sony ZN hardware emulation. And the issue is as follows: I consider myself a "Street Fighter Fan" (and I believe many of you do so) and as such I heavily wanted to be able to play or at least to run the 3D installment of the series, called "Street Fighter EX". I would like to discuss (excuse my English.) one issue that bugged me for 2 days now, but at the end I found a solution to it and like to inform other people about "my big knowledge". I decide to write to your messageboard, because I think it's the appropriate place for the issue. Hello, Pete, and hello to all of you emulation/programming maniacs out- (and in-) there.
