There *has* to be a way to fix that or get around it. I'm wondering if there's a way around that, and if I figure it out, I'll be sure to post it. Yeah, I noticed that even when you tell the emulator to run while not having focus, it will run without sound when it doesn't have focus. I think I have the hardware specs for that someplace if he wants/needs them. Maybe pSX Author could look into his code to see if the correct functions and calls are in place for detecting the disc-type and taking the appropriate action in the manner that the actual Playstation does. makes me feel all special inside.), is that maybe the code for auto-running a game (which happens everyplace in the BIOS *except* when the CD Player is open) is incorrectly defaulting to reading it as a game disc. The only reason I can see for having to do it the "GM way" (I like that. I think some of this may be due to the way reverb is used maybe I'll have to muck about with ePSXe a bit, where you can change the reverb qualities more.Īhh. Obviously, as many people have commented, emulators don't seem be as accurate as the Playstation sometimes, but the Playstation sound seems to have a more coherent, "solid" quality. The surprise comes with the sound: I'd have to say that, on the games I've tried so far, the sound is better on the Playstation. ePSXe does as well, but tends not to be so accurate sometimes. Well, since mine is an unmodded European Playstation (SCPH-5552), I can only play PAL titles, but I can say that of everything I've played so far, pSX ouputs much clearer and more precise video than the Playstation. I'm not relying on the blurring qualities of a TV screen. So I think I'm getting a fairly good comparison of what the Playstation outputs and what my emulators output - they're going through the same videocard/monitor/soundcard/speakers. via a direct video and audio output lead. See my previous post updated, GM - just me being fik!Įdit: actually, as I mentioned, I just resurrected my old Playstation - partly because I just happened to come across it (took ages to find the video lead, though) and partly because, with all the complaints in the forum recently about pSX "not looking as good as a real Playstation." I'm doing what I was doing when I started getting into Playstation emulation and put the Playstation away running it into my PC (which is a bit better now. So now I'm really stuck on why people would be having trouble, as it seems that pSX reads/plays audio CD's as well as the original Playstation (actually, I think it does a *better* job, as I don't think the original Playstation can handle certain formats very well due to the CD-ROM itself). they all worked flawlessly (although I will say that the CD-ROM drive had some small trouble reading a CD-R that was old and scratched, but pSX even played that one just fine). No matter what drive I used, no matter what CD's I used. The only thing I couldn't test (because I don't have them) is CD-RW's. the CD-ROM is useless to me).Įdit: I've now tested both my drives, using a wide selection of CD's (enhanced CD's, non-enhanced CD's, exact CD-R copies of enhanced and non-enhanced CD's, and CD-R's that were simply compilations that I had made, and even those were burned with different formats/methods). I'm going to test my CD-ROM drive now (I was using my DVD-RW drive, pretty much the only one I ever use. is there a difference of format between European and US CD's of any sort.? Maybe a difference in how pSX accesses our drives? When you try loading the CD, does it even show how many tracks are on the CD, the total time, anything at all to indicate that there's a CD inserted? What kind of drive are you using? There has to be some way to get to the bottom of this. There has to be some kind of difference between our methods or CD's. It's really bugging me that this would somehow work for me using my method, but not for you. Not even by waiting until the "CD Player" is loaded (and showing no CD of course), and then clicking "Insert CD" and loading the corresponding drive? Maybe you could list the CD's you're trying this with, in case I might have any of them that I can use to test myself.
