No music on some games for ePSXe 1.8

[Super Megaman]

Hi all, I'm having problems with esPSXe 1.8 concerning games that don't play music tracks. I was having problems many games mainly Wipeout 3, Motorhead etc bit I have finally got music running on GTA (pal version single bin file) with these settings...
Dell Inspiron 6400 Windows Vista Sevice Pack 2. 32bit
Device Intel 945GM Express Chipset Family
Petes D3D Driver 1.76 ('Nice' setting)
Eternal SPU Plugin 1.41
Mooby2 Repeat ALL CDDA tracks



My problem is I do not have a CD/DVD drive as it was broke so I ripped it out in anger to get my CD back out.
I'm still relatively new to this emulator, so if anyone could give me any advice (especially concerning cue files, as I've never got a game to work using a cue file in CDROM), I would be eternally 1.41 grateful.

all games that have external CDDA tracks either mount them via a cue sheet in Daemon Tools Lite (with SPTD installed with DToolsLite) or you can re-rip the games with external CDDA tracks with ISObuster (free function use is enough) to Bin+Cue (the Bin file will then have all the CDDA tracks enclosed) you do need to run the games from the cue file or all CDDA tracks will still be disabled

ePSXe can not read external CDDA tracks so rip that to a Bin+Cue

Re-rip is the better option

P.S. Moved from Everything Console that is for real consoles to Everything Emulation

Thanks Zorlon, I'll try that now as I've got Daemon tools lite installed from when I first started with this emulator extracting 7z files to bin. Sorry I'd started a thread in wrong section, I'm new to these forums plus I'm an idiot.

No worries

We all start new

I've mounted a drive via Daemon tools and the CUE files in each folder for games has a DT (lightening flash) icon), am I on the right track? Any idea which CDrom plug in to use. I've just tried a couple but it stops ePSXe working?

[Zorlon]

Try converting it's the best option

For the virtual CD-Rom drive option

1 make sure you have the SPTD drivers installed with Daemon Tools Lite otherwise it will never work for ePSXe
2 mount a CD image in Daemon Tools
3 open ePSXe
4 set the CD plugin to use Pete's aka P.E.Op.S
5 config the CD plugin, set the interface type to W2k/XP
6 set the Drive to the Virtual drive (Daemon tools drive)
7 then under Read mode just hit auto detect (you need a PSX disc image in the drive for it to detect)

that should be it you can hit OK

Its all sorted now thanks, I'ver set CD Rom plug-in to ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.7.0 so I've finally got play Wipeout 3 in all its splendour. Thanks for your help Zorlon.

[Zorlon]

No problem happy to help.

[Super Megaman]

Will running other games from its CUE file this way, help in games that crash at loading screens etc (e.g Running Iso for GTA1 it crashes but using CDROM mooby2 settings it works) ?

[Zorlon]

It will help with some other issues yeah

As for the exact issue with GTA I wouldn't know, not without testing anyway, but expect it would fix it, you tell me I don't have the game to hand.

It only worked, because I found a PAL version that was just one bin file, I'll let you know if it works with games I'm having trouble with when I've tested them. Thanks again Zorlon, you have been most helpful.
