MegaMan X3 working music

[ZeroX4]

story so far (what i did and how i found out what is wrong IN SPOILER)

Spoiler warning:

so i had some problems with getting mega man x 3 to even work cause i was having freeze on NOW LOADING screen
seems it happens with epsxe when you choose run from iso and than select bin where you should select cue file

and than when i discovered that i had another problem and that was there is no music in mmx3 i was like wtf

and so than i was googling here and there and i found many ppls with that problem but no 1 had solution that would work for me

i was assuming that problem is that i have 1 bin file and many ape files and i was right

so i was trying to make it step by step follow few guides to get 1 cue and 1 bin file and i found this guide

which with combination with this guide gives me ALMOST everything i needed to hear music in mmx3

i did exact as the guides says and i had no luck in making mmx3 music to play in game

i was about to give up when i was like well who cares lets play for a little
but i had selected Pete's OpenGL2 Driver which (idk how for you, but) for me is better for 3D games and for 2D games i use P.E.Op.S Soft Drivers (thx to it HQ2x stretching 2D games looks really nice) so i was going to switch and than by accident i switched audio plugins instead of switching video ones

i selected ePSXe SPU Core i was ok nvm i just will play with that sound plugin and i go back to switch video plugin and i launched the game and WTF ?? i hear music now

and so i was like no way was that all time fault of a plugin ?
and after that i moved to emulator called PCSX-Reloaded http://pcsxr.codeplex.com/

which looks like epsxe clone with few little differences which i believe are good 1 big dawn flow i cant get it to see my daemon tools lite virtual drive but well its something i DONT need for any game

ok
STEP 1 you will need is ePSXe and/or PCSXR
PCSXR looks like clone of ePSXe with few differences but in this case you get better music quality with PCSXR i think its only better on video clips but im to lazy to test it now

http://pcsxr.codeplex.com/
http://www.epsxe.com/

(you dont really need PCSXR but at last try it cause im 27 years old and i use epsxe almost from the start and so if i use some program for so many years i like to stick to it but after i seen how PCSXR works im switching to it)
you can copy your plugins and bios folders from 1 emulator to other one and most of them will still work

STEP 2 you will need mega man x 3 game image bin cue files or at last bin with many ape files
well i think EP version will work just fine

STEP 3 guides on how to convert merge mount and all other boring stuff you will need to do to get it to work
ECM and APE Guide http://www.epforums.org/showthread.p...03#post1187003
Bin and Cue Guide http://www.epforums.org/showthread.p...eate-a-bin-cue


OK after you done all that you should now have 1 bin and 1 cue file

***IMPORTANT***

LAUNCH GAME VIA RUN ISO AND SELECTING CUE FILE NOT THE BIN FILE
in most cases bin file will give you freeze at NOW LOADING screen

BUT ON PCSX-R LANUCH FROM BIN CAUSE CUE WILL AND SHOULD GIVE U ERROR

idk how for u but for me HQ3x stretching have problem with scaling/positiong
thats why i use HQ2x stretching


STEP 4 configuration of plugins
1st video cause that 1 works for both emulators
i use P.E.Op.S Soft Drivers 1.18 < dont have it ? google will save ur soul


after doing all that MegaMan X3 should work and have music

and now audio for ePSXe its ePSXe SPU core 1.9.0. in which there is nothing to configure just select it and there you go music will be there
(idk how about eternal SPU plugins but for sure P.E.Op.S. DSound Audio PL 1.10 dont make music play)

and for PCSXR its
DirectSound Driver 1.0. configuration looks like
