Tutorials

1. Go to the Desktop and create a new folder named "LSD Dream Emulator".
2. Download the files in the image, and put them in the folder you created. Make sure you download the correct 7-Zip file that matches your system's architecture.

   

   Step Two (Windows)

3. Create two more folders, one named "Emulator," and one named "Games" as shown in the picture below.

   

   Step Three (Windows)

4. Run the 7-Zip installer that you downloaded, follow all of the steps, and install it. Once 7-Zip is installed, you are ready to go!
5. Right click on the file "Everything you need," hover over the 7-Zip setting and select "Open Archive," select the LSD Dream Emulator ISO and BIN files, and drag and drop them into the "Games" folder. The reason we are not using the emulator in this file is because the separate BIOS is in the other folder.

   

   Step Five (Windows)

6. Right click on the "ePSXe full bios and plugins" file, and open with 7-Zip, copy all files and put them in your "Emulator" folder.

   4. Select the default CD ROM.
   5. Configure controller as needed. Don't activate the Multitap option or else the controls won't work.

Applying the English patch

Windows

1. Make sure you have already downloaded the original version of the game.
2. Download the English patch and a .ppf patcher. PPF-O-Matic is recommended and used in this guide; any other patcher should work in a similar way.
3. Extract the contents of both .zip/7-zip files you've downloaded into a folder.
4. Run the .exe file of the patcher.
5. Locate the .bin or .cue file of the original game (both file types are valid), and the patch's .ppf file, and introduce them into "ISO File" and "Patch" respectively. (Make backups/copies of the original game's files if you wish to keep both original and patched versions.)

   

6. Click "Apply". Once the process is finished, the game should be successfully patched and ready to be played.
