What are /r/MonsterRancher's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Okay, here's my step-by-step directions. They are not complicated. I was just thorough.

• Download and unzip ePSXe

• Download a PS1 BIOS. (google is your friend.)

• Put Bios file in Bios folder, use Config settings to tell the emulator that.

• Configure controller settings. You can use a keyboard, I had success with a logitech controller, AND a SNES controller. Yeah, that's right. Playing a PS1 game on a PC with a SNES controller. That's how I roll.

• Download a Monster Rancher ROM. But you have to be careful, some sites are shady. Don't use their downloaders.

• Unzip the game file, but the .cue and .bin in the ISO folder within the emulator.

• Configure the CD rom options - tell it to use your computer's CD rom.

• Put a CD or DVD in your CD drive.

• In the emulator, got to FILE > Run ISO, and select your monster rancher. Use the .Cue file YAY! NOSTALGIA. (My god, the pixels!)(and screen tearing)

• WHen you get to the point where you can go to the shrine, do it!

• When it says to remove the MOnster Rancher 2 disk and insert a CD, press escape. You should see the ePSXe window. Go to FILE>Change Disk> CDROM or ISO. If you use ISO, again, use the .cue files. I downloaded a bunch of PS1 games to generate monster with. After a couple of seconds, it should automatically re-fullscreen your game and give you the 'reading the disk' dialogue. I find that if I changed to a CD rom, it takes the program a few more seconds to re-load my monster rancher.

• When it tells you to re-load the monster rancher disk, press escape again, go to FILE>Change Disk>ISO and re-select your Monster Rancher. Again, it will re-load the game for you.

• PROFIT.

Why do DVDs work? The PS1 didn't know DVDs were a thing, and thus, didn't know how to read them. But of course, our computers know how to read DVDs, so the game doesn't care. It just looks for a table of contents, and DVDs have those.

HAVE FUN.

If you have an optical drive you can use the emulator to read the game.

Ripping the game into an ISO can be done with software like IMGBurn. It doesn't do anything to your original disc, it just can be extracted into a digital file onto your PC.

If you use ImgBurn, i recommend creating an ImgBurn installer from Ninite.com (Using this will create an installer that strips out ALL adware and 3rd party options so that you only get the ImgBurn software)

Hello everyone! I know its been a long time since the last update on this. Life has not been kind these past few months.
I went with full action-gameplay with what resources and time I had. The game just got approved and is now out on Google Play Store.
I'll be sure to make a proper Monster Rancher inspired game once I get back on my feet.
