Capcom Generations is a series of five video game compilations released by Capcom in 1998 for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn in Japan and Europe/Australia. Each volume contains three or four games from a particular series or game genre and were ported directly from their original arcade versions. Each disc also contains a "collection mode" featuring history, tips, artwork, character profiles, arranged music and other unlockable contents for each game. The PlayStation versions of the games also featured support for the DualShock controller. The five Capcom Generations discs were released individually in Japan, while the first four volumes were sold as a bundle in the PAL region. The fifth volume was released separately in Europe and was the only volume in the series released in North America. The 16 games in the series were later collected in the Capcom Classics Collection based on their Capcom Generations versions. |
There are two components for playing a psx Capcom Generations rom on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the psx OS and software.
The second component is the Capcom Generations rom itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest Retroarch – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading Retroarch, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the RetroArch-1.7.5-x86-setup.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play Capcom Generations rom. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to Retroarch and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
