Hello Folks.
I know that there are some many threads already about this topic but, i want to know something.

Well, recently i discovered that the SaPu's 1.3 CDR plug it's one of the best if somebody want to runs the games with the CDDA files indeed. But unfortunately it wont works well on the track repeating looping process. It continues with the next audio track, rather than to follow with the real sequence looping on the audio tracks from the game.
On the normal games, that they didn't got any CDDA files. The Xa files ( the music ) runs fine as ever. At the audio plugin side, it can be varied, depending on the game of course.

Emulator / version: ePSXe & PCSX - RELOADED. All versions.

The video Plugs that i regularly use are: P.e.Op.s Soft Driver 1.17 / P.e.Op.s OpenGL Driver 1.78 / Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.76. Normaly.

The Sound Plugs that i regularly use are: ePSXe SPU core / Eternal SPU Plugin 1.41 / the P.E.Op.s plugs ( are good if i mount the CD / ISO on a virtual memory only)

The only good and it gave me a good effort to me, if i mix the P.e.Op.s Soft Driver 1.17 + ePSXe SPU core + SaPu's 1.3 CDR. It gave me a good tread on the audio tracks, and they runs perfectly at their looping time correctly. But unfortunately the ePSXe SPU core sucks a lot of my machine resources. ( i got a slow machine )

The mounting virtual Cd for my choice is Alcohol 120%. It gave me the best effort to me. If you ask. I used already a lot of mounting virtual CD's programs, such Clone CD itself, Virtual CD 9.3.0.0 program as well. But they are useless at the moment ( they cannot open the audio tracks, even if i use the SAPU plug i'm afraid ). If i want to open my PSX with the CDDA audio files. Alcohol gave me the best results for this achievement. But not the real sounding emulation on those games. Anyway.

The only really great that i've found about it. If i mount the games ( whatever titles are ) ..... the games runs smoothly like a charm, rather than to use the ISO option if i want to open my games without mounting them.


Anyway, some of you people fixed these kind of inconvenient errors or issues from the CDDA emulation already?


P.S.
I used the Mobby2 CD Disk Image Driver 2.8 already. It's not bad, but it doesn't got a good compatibility on all games, especially on the synchronize at the music, it choose another sounding tracks instead of the original lineups from all the audio CDDA file games.

Ok. Recently, i tested the Daemon Tools program. And i have to say, It's great !!!! ..... but unfortunately It still wont works well on the track repeating looping process. It continues with the next audio track, rather than to follow with the real sequence looping on the audio tracks from the game.
I still have to do the same thing as ever; to use those P.e.Op.s Soft Driver 1.17 [ Or the Open GL filters plugs if i want to use and play my games with those kind of visual effects ] + ePSXe SPU core + SaPu's 1.3 CDR plugs, if i want to play those games that got those CDDA files.

But hey !!!!! .... it's not a bad that program at all. It opens the games more accurate, faster than before, better than the charm !!!!

So, well then, i have to say at least. That SaPu plugin is a real and true choice for the PSX gaming ( and maybe the only one for now on too ), but unfortunately it's not perfect yet.

However. Thank you for the advice and time.



Hey Ngemu Staff, you can close this thread if you want, i learned and evolved well of i wanted to know.

Thats right, but unfortunately those independent, or "third party" SPU plugins didn't worked so well on that case. Except the ePSXe SPU core, because that SPU plug was made to work well on all the cases.
But, it ask a lot of resources on the emulation course. Even, not all the games runs smoothly or even correctly with that official ePSXe sounding plug.

But, on the contrary side. A CDR plugin make the work much better than the SPU plugs. What a irony.


Thanks for your answer !!!!
