Thanks for the info dickmedd :) Do you also have this problem, like some games not working on PCSX-R? I tried playing Saga Frontier and the graphic is just not working. The screen just turns black when I try starting the game, although I can still hear the music alright and even the sound of the cursor moving (which means that the game doesn't freeze, still responding but just no image). Just now I tried playing Chrono Cross and it works fine until I click new game and then it just goes black and nothing comes of it.
The files work fine on my ps1 emulator on the pc side but tis a bit annoying if I have to keep changing between windows and mac each time I want to play a different game :P
In the PCSX-R preferences, select the Configuration button for the Graphics Plugin. Check the "Enable Hacks" checkbox, then check the "Odd/even bit hack" checkbox. This should allow you to play Chrono Cross (if you hover your mouse over the line with "Odd/even bit hack" it specifically pops up "Chrono Cross", denoting that it is meant for that game).
Edit: These instructions apply to the Mac OS X version using the SoftGL plugin. As I've not used the Windows version, either natively or via WINE, I cannot comment on that version, though I suspect the preferences are nearly identical.
