The emulator could not load the ROM.

After downloading european versions of spyro 2 and 3, I paste them in the library and double-click to play. A window pops up saying "The emulator could not load the ROM." I download the roms from different sources, yet these two games cannot be played, even though other european games are freely playable, the other new games I add are also freely playable, I don't understand why these two roms exactly are unplayable. These are the files:

Spyro - Year of the Dragon (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (v1.1).cue
Spyro - Year of the Dragon (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (v1.1).bin
Spyro 2 - Gateway to Glimmer (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).cue
Spyro 2 - Gateway to Glimmer (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).bin

The japanese and american versions of these games are freely playable, so is this just these specific roms? Could you please help me solve this issue.

  • OpenEmu Version: 2.4.1

The biggest question is do you have bios files for all those versions installed in the /~/Library/Application Support/OpenEmu/Bios location for the Europe PS1? As without those bios files the games won’t open.

Also it is possible that you have a bad dump of the game. If you go to redump.org and lookup the game and locate the MD5 hash listed there, then open Terminal and type in “md5 “ there has to be a space after, and then drag and drop the games BIN file into the terminal window and hit enter. Then compare the MD5 hash. If it doesn’t match then it’s a bad dump of the game.
