Hard Reboot for everything

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Going into menu
2. Selecting any img/cue/bin file 
3. Starting it up

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I was expecting to be able to play something, anything.. I've tried at
least a dozen games - most recent is the one I actually saw the dev play on
the video posted on wiki with Tekken 3 and Pocket Fighters obviously
working, but I still hang on the black screen after selecting Iso and
Starting up... Does not let me press home button either, must hard reboot.

What version of the product are you using?
r28

Please provide any additional information below.
I've tried Chrono Cross, BoF3, BoF4, Ogre Battle, Pocket Fighters, and have
it, but isn't going to bother to try Vagrant Story. I think it has to do
with my plugins, the faq says to throw them into the folder in the root
labeled pcsx-r, I tried looking for some kind of customization screen for
plugins and didn't find any :/ Did I do something wrong? need help...

Set in settings (sd:/pcsx-r/config.ini) "PsxOut" to 1 and try again. You will 
see the
progress of game loading. 
Where are 2 option:
- You should wait a little further.
- Error message. Then write it here.

Uh... "PsxOut"? is that an option in the configuration menu or something? ^^;

It's a string in config file. (sd:/pcsx-r/config.ini)

rename the file config.ini? also does it matter if I have more than one plugin 
for a
certain area (Video Plugins, per say)?

> rename the file config.ini?
No. Open it with notepad and change "PsxOut = 0" to "PsxOut = 1".

> if I have more than one plugin for a certain area...
How you managed to do that? O_o

Create a notepad? 

and I DL the normal psx plugins (like Kazzuya, Eternal, Petes OpenGL etc) and 
put
them in the root, well now they're the plugins folder.

I'm getting the same black screen as Zettmen, but I know what notepad is :-P
I set psxOut = 1 in the config file. My guess is a bad ROM, but that's just a 
guess.
Here's everything I got on screen (in between the quotes):
"
    start SysInit()
psxInit()
LoadPlugins()
start CDR_init()
end CDR_init()
start PAD_init()
end PAD_init()
start PAD_init()
end PAD_init()
end SysInit()
start SysReset()
end SysReset()
CD-ROM Label: GTA
CD-ROM ID: SLES00032
CD_init:addr=801bdd40
"
That's all. Does EDC need to be included in to ROM for the emulator to play it? 
(This ROM is 'no EDC')

Can't say for sure. I don't have games without EDC.

Well, it may have been my ROM but I used a different one and tried to load it 
but it
still didn't work. The error came up pretty much exactly the same except it had 
a few
lines of audo track stuff. So I figured it might be something to do with the 
audio
track... I opened audio.ini and set cdda=1 (instead of the default cdda=0) and 
it
worked! :-D I also loaded the ROM then pressed reset before start game so that 
may
have fixed it, but either way I got GTA working, woot! :-P If only I knew how 
to code
I could contribute but I guess just thanking you for the awesome emulator will 
have
to do. Thanks! :-)

P.S. The top and bottom of the screen is not viewable (aka, the game is 
stretched
just slightly beyond the TV's viewing borders) when I play GTA, although this 
may be
a big ask, any chance of a viewing screen changer/resizer of some description
included in the game so I (and others) could fix this? It's only a small problem
really and probably a lot of code to fix so I'm not making any demands at all, 
just a
suggestion really :-)

@ The top and bottom of the screen is not viewable.
It can not be solved by changing the settings, but I look the problem.
@ I opened audio.ini and set cdda = 1 (instead of the default cdda = 0) and it
worked!
Thank you for such a clear test. Try to correct all errors as soon as possible.

is it possible this error has something to do with not having certain ISO's? 
say dvd
x or a CIOS installer.this problem never happened to me.

Are you sure you haven't forgot to put the bios on your SD card?

Hey firnis@ya.ru, I fixed the 'top and bottom cut off' issue by accident :-) 
It's
because I had my PAL Wii settings (with PAL TV) set to 60Hz and not 50Hz! I set 
it to
50Hz and now I can see the top and bottom! Yay, thanks for the awesome program 
:-)

firis, i think i know this problem i had it myself. 
the only thing i changed was a my sd card. i used an sd HC card and it didn't 
work. 
zettman is using a micro sd. i see a connection
possibly only fat 32 format is accepted?

none of my games are loading which have been played a lot on pc psx so i dont 
think its 
a bad rom. an fps shows with 00.0 and the bios is in the right place. i would 
gladly go 
change the config except that there was no config.ini in the download.
