I'm going through complete bullshit trying to get the damn thing configurated. So I end up FINALLY getting all the dll files it requests. Then I get my game, I open it with the emulator... And it says the program has stopped working because something (It doesn't specify what) Has caused it to stop working. Ugh, I'm just trying to get the sprites from Mega Man X6. Well, and it would be fun to TAS, but I'll be TAS'ing X3 first. *Cough* Anyway. Is it because I don't have the right Graphics Plugin? I dunno where to find them, I've googled them. But I couldn't really find anything. Random problems pop up one after another. How do you people set this friggen' thing up?! I suppose you guys are gonna wanna know what kinda files I've been using. I'll get to that in a second. Right now, I have to restart my computer. Blaaah, screenshots in a second. Configuration: The dll files: Plugins: The error I get: Ah, yeah. I use Win7 OS. If that makes any difference. Good ol' XP never seemed to have these lame problems. Hope I've provided sufficient information.

Which emulator are you using?

The one this site provides a handy link to. Well, in the screenshots, you should be able to figure it out. CLEARLY I've got something all messed up. I swear. I just want to get the sprites for now.

I can't figure out the exact problem, but maybe this is one of the causes:
  • You lack libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, however, PCSX would show a warning with "can't find libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll", rather than giving the standard "stopped working" warning.
  • Your ROM lacks a .cue file. Shouldn't be that important, though.
  • Your ROM itself is faulty. Try another ROM, like the game's (U) version.
EDIT: It's probably the ROM. Your Mega Man X6 (E).bin is 124 MB big, while my Mega Man X6 (U).img is 586 MB big, and all my ROMS are around that size. Did your download get interrupted? It would explain the missing .cue file.

So what, do I just go download a random .cue file of Megaman X6, or is it supposed to come with it? It was hard enough finding that ehh... Rom thingy. I dunno if you'd call it a rom, but you know what I mean. A lot of the links I found were outdated. This was one of the very few I could find. *Edit* Nope, I don't think it was interrupted. Maybe the download was just incomplete. Got any idea where I could find a better rom then?

The .cue file is supposed to come with it. But yeah, you'll have to look for another ROM. I can't help you find one as per the forum rules.

Well, I click on the emulator icon in the file, the emulator opens, then I go to open a rom, and then I get the error. Okay, nevermind then.

It's not necessarily the wrong rom, psx roms are often compressed and they work fine that way in an emulator. I don't see anything wrong in the screen shots. Have tried running it as an administrator?

Lawl. And to think I actually plan on getting Megaman X5 and possibly X4 as well. Psx roms are hard to find. At least, they're harder to find than Snes roms.

Surprising. I always find PSX roms in less than 5 minutes.

Well I think I've found a good rom, at last. Pretty sure it comes with a .cue, and the rom itself was around 572 mb. Then I can finally go to sleep. =_=

The new rom is working fine. Case closed. Seriously, though. Thank you for your help.

technically it's an ISO because it's an image of an ISO 9660 file system; a ROM is an image of the contents of a chip containing ROM (Read-Only Memory)
