List of cdrom/dvd models supporting subchannel reading.

[calb]

Hello,

If you have a cdrom/dvd reader what supports subchannel read with internal epsxe or pete cdrom plugins, please post here the model and the plugin what you did use for test it Please, only models what supports read subchannel directly from cdrom,
not using some precaching option in pete or epsxe cdrom plugins.

Cdrom Model ,Plugin
--------------------------------
Sony CRX-140, ePSXe Internal w9x plugin

Regards,
Carlos.

[Pete Bernert]

Well, my TEAC 532S (SCSI-CDROM) and my PIONEER 305 (SCSI-DVD) are working for some reasons ;)

Ahem... still I have to advise (even with supported drives) to use M3S/SBI files in my plugin, since the direct reading modes are not very optimized (yet) :)

[ronny84]

I have a Pioneer DVD-106S and it read FF9 ita without any patch, so...:D :D :D !!!!!!!! Thanks ePSXe team and Pete!!!!!!

LG 8240b, when using clone cd it reads subchannel data slow though other than that it works fine

[spajdr]

I have same cd rom as Pete,but IDE version,works fine.Also at work my Sony 52x works fine :-)

[Viperx25]

I can tell you a DVD drive that does NOT read subchannel data. I have a Creative 8x, DVD8400E, drive and it doesn't support reading of subchannel data, at least that's what clonecd says...

[Zeke_D]

Here are some NOT compatable list:

Compaq Liton CD-4848
Philips CDD4801 CD-RW
Philips CDD4851 CD-RW

Although the 4851 says it isn't compatable, when i try extracting the sub-channel from FFIX_Disc1 I do get a 28MB sub file.

[xmp]

My Hitachi DVD-ROM GD2500 works quite well with FF9 on the interal epsxe driver :D but not with petes driver :mad: (doesn't read at all). Stupid drive. Good work pete and the epsxe crew.

[Dingle1972]

I have an LG DRD8160B DVD ROM drive and that worked fine with FF6.

[Shadow Lady]

Creative 52x CD-ROM running and working sir emu author ^^

[Kungaan]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

the best choice for your subchannel-reading-experiences is "TATAAA": the fine Toshiba SD-M Series (mine is an old 1302).

Hear my words: if you want to get rid of that crap your dealer normally invites you to buy from his store, just ask him to get a Toshi. I had many problems with other DVD- and CD-ROM-drives in the PAST!!! Never had any with this - reads everything fast enough and is worth its (ok-ok, it sh´dn´t be that expensive...)
money.

The rest is: :spy:

Regards, Kungaan

[Particleman]

Pretty much all Plextor CD-Writers and CD-ROMs have no trouble reading sub channel data.

[bositman]

Works with Asus 50x IDE cdrom

[ego533]

I'd have to agree with Kungaan. The Toshiba DVD drives are very well made. Quiet, reads most types of CD's well, can read my fairly scratched up CD's, and reads the subchannel data fine for both Pete's and ePSXe's plug-ins.

I have an SD-Mxxx model.

[GreyWing]

I'm using a Sony CRX140E/CH2 (Spressa), no problems. I use the ePSXe internal plugin and Pete's CDROM plugin v1.10. Sony drives r0cK!

[Orochi KOF97]

Samsung CDR/W SW-216B works perfectly :) and also Mitsui DVD reader MT1316B BDV212B

[ChrisRay]

Sony EIDE 50X Cd-rom
Teac 8x8x32x cd-rom seems to work with it..

[chaosblade]

My MTRP(dunno thats what it says on the drive .. ) x52 IDE
Cdrom works fine .. yay pete+epsxe team !

ChrisRay : Nice new avater !

[tetsuo_ns]

how do i find out if my drive reads it?

[+=|KaRMa|=+]

These are my results with FF9 ITA:

With my HP CDWriter 7200 Plus the creation of M3S/SBI file is not possible and also the internal epsxe CD core doesn't work. The CD is not readed (doesn't spin) in both the cases.

With my Yamaha CDR200t cdrecorder: the M3S file is reported as "bad" by Pete plugin. The SBI file is created but doesn't work.
Also the internal epsxe CD core fails to work with the game. In this case the CD is readed.

Excuse for my english but i'm a poor italian boy... :)

Same here. Also, my CD-RW (LG GCE-8160B) supports reading subchannels.

[]s Badaro

[Goku7]

I'm not surprised that Sony CD-ROm drives can do subchannel reading. They probably inplemented a lot of the firmware the PSX drive uses.

As for my drive, I don't know, as it appears that subchannels are only needed for PAL games, and I live in the NTSC type area.

[TastEPlasma]

Greetings,

Although I also only play NTSC versions (and I usually make ISO images anyways), both of my drives support sub-channel audio. My drives are as follows:

TDK 12X10X32 VeloCD (but the sumbeetch crashes everytime I overburn)

Creative 12X PC-DVD drive

about the TDK...I can overburn discs, and the discs themselves work np, but the drive locks up after every other one 100% consistantly, even if the overburn is only a MB or two, and Nero always reports a failed burn...very annoying

Sincerely,
TastEPlasma

[ChrisRay]

Thanks Blade of Chaos, She's Uryll From Dragon Force for the Sega Saturn.

Grabbed a SS of her with my TV card :)


Btw;l a creative 32xMX does not work. Lists still comen in... Have yet to test it with other cards.

[alaviolette]

The new Lite-On 40x12x48 supports sub-channel. This burner is faster than my 40x Plextor burner at work and it cost $60 bucks less! Go figure.

[Kane]

My LiteOn 40x16x10 (LTR-1610B) works fine, as does my Sony 24x5x DVD Drive (DDU-220E)

[Betamax]

I guess that all liteon recorders work as my 40*12*10 model also works. (can't remember model no as I'm on my laptop).

[Sniper]

Sony CR-X140E (Atapi) can read sub channel data in DAO RAW-96 mode write in DAO RAW-96 mode but it can't write correct EFM , and it got some problem with pete's sub channel reading.
Lite-on 24x10x40 LTR-24102B (Atapi) can read/write sub channel data in DAO RAW-96 mode, and write EFM correctly, works perfect with pete's cdr plugin, playing BoF4 perfectly, no sound problem too :)

[klownDevilBoy]

yes - Yamaha CRW3200E , ePSXe CDR ASPI core 1.5.1.
pretty sure all yamaha burners support subchannel

no - Hival 12xDVD (MT1316B BDV212B)
updated to a firmware not made by dvd makers - don't think it supported it before though

[astroduck]

My Lite-On 24X10X40 works with subchannel perfectly!!:D

I guess all Lite-On CD-writers support subchannel option like people already mention before.

[PunkSk8]

yes
my lite-on 12-10-32 model works fine reading subchannels

[amano]

Hi you Guys. Could you be more specific. what is your liteon number. liteon ltd-122??? what firmware do you use??

I don't think, that all liton drives with all firmwares support subchannel reading at all.

[Sniper]

if you want to know, just read CloneCD help with the supported cdrom drive, it got a list of drive support reading sub, BUT!!!! even thought it support reading sub, it doesn't mean it's going to work with pete's driver, as like pete say already, he's testing the command to read sub, and some cdrom may use different command *maybe similar but could be not*
so amano just read that, hehe, it told you everything

[amano]

You didn't get me. I KNOW that my liteon is supporting pete's subchannel reading. I just wanted all the others to be more precise.

It's possible that new CD/DVD-ROM features can be added via a firmware update.

So let's post our firmware version too. Clone CD will report that too.

[Sniper]

Under CloneCD's Help file, there is a section call Supported writer. Check that if you want to know which drive can and with which firmware.

[ezek1elsk8r69]

*removed*

[Kane]

Bye. It was nice knowing you.

[Xeven]

ohh man.. tsk tsk.. :(

[jptpy]

Creative 8432, 8435 and 8438 cannot support sub-channel reading.

[amano]

But only cd-writers are listed. Not regular cd/DVD drives.

and nobody wants to know how well cloneCD supports your drive. it's more interesting, how well your drive (with your current firmware version) is functioning with the emu commands.

clonecd is just a possibility to check, whether your drive is supporting subchannel reading in general.

[josel]

Acer<�¥ CD-656A 56X and work's very nice!!!

[electrozi]

My Creative 52X (Model 5233E) works fine with subchannels, including on my CloneCD created isos...

[gwurble]

Manufacturer: MAT****A
Product: DVD-ROM SR-8585
Revision: 1X29

originally 1z29, updated by me to 1x29.

1. made an image with clonecd with sub option checked
2. epsxe plugin with option checked
3. pete's plugin with option checked

all 3 of above work.

[Shiori]

Lite-On LTN483S 48X Max: Not supported

Lite-On LTR16102C CD-RW: Supported.

[lazywanker]

AOpen - CRW2440: supported

[EddyB43]

Just to add confusion to it all, I have an IDE LiteON 16x10x40 (LTR-16102B). It does not support subchannel reading with Pete's v1.10 CDR plugin. I used FF9 UK disc 1 to test, reading straight from the disc and creating a full SBI (took about 50mins) and choosing that both failed. This was with the original firmware I had (version OS0E) and with the latest flashed to it (version OS0F).

I'm yet to try using CloneCD to get the subchannel data (which I know it can in some form, it will make me a SUB file when creating an image) and converting, but I'm not hopeful.

[dpence]

Pioneer 114 and Mitsumi 4801TE both work fine. In about a week, when I get my Pioneer DVD-R/RW, I'll let you know.

[dgp9999]

I haven't had any read problems with the Creative iNFRA 12x Encore IDE.

[Zeke_D]

I just got a HL-DT-ST GCE8240B and it supports sub-channel

[FFGR]

Is the Hitachi GD-8000 supported?

[501XX]

I'm using a DVD-ROM SD-M1502 1816 (supports sub-channel), no problems. :emb:

[Xeven]

why are you embarassed? :p

[501XX]

Because I liked this icon:emb: ...

[emucrazy]

I have a samsung 52x cdrom and it works just fine.

[ariano_romanov]

My friend's ASUS 50X & ASUS 52X support sub-channel reading... but my ACER 40X do not support sub-channel reading.

[SnakeBite]

I have Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-M1202, and it works fine with FF9, wich requires subchannel support.

[Ali]

I have two CDroms...Asus 52x and Creative Digital IR52x...none of them seem to work..:(

Ali

[MarcLandis]

I have a Ricoh MP7200A that reads the subchannel with both drivers. I used FF9 to test

[F-3582]

HP 8200e: working
AOpen 52X/AKH: not working
Daemon-Tools: not working

[F-3582]

Pardon!
The newest version of Daemon-Tools supports subchannels.

[Andemon]

Doesn't work with Samsung DVD-ROM SD-612S.

[501XX]

LITE-ON LTR-40125W: Supported.

[pblay]

I have xxxxxx, and it works fine with FF9, wich requires subchannel support.

Do you mean FF9 needs subchannel support to work at all, or does that mean FF9 works without PPF file if you have subchannel support?

Anyway, my drive calls itself a E-IDE CD-ROM 36X/AKW, Firmware revision U22 in the device manager and 36X MTRP written on the front of the drive and it does work with FF9 (PAL), the relevant PPF file, and subchannel support (read from CDROM) checked.

[Kane]

The later. PPF files were needed before ePSXe supported subchannel reads.

[cooliscool]

my smart and friendly 2x4x24 cd-rw drive works with ff9 pal import, with no patch.. so i guess it works :P

My Asus S500 (50x) works fine with subchannel reading

[Kane]

My brother's Creative 6xDVD drive works with it .
Welcome to NGEmu, Bositman.

[bositman]

Thanks Lord Kane! Ill try to help you guys clean up this place :)

[BDA7DD]

I'm looking for suggestions for a good slot-loading 16x/48X (or better) DVD-ROM drive, and I'd prefer one that can not only read subchannels, but can also have its region changed (through a firmware flash or otherwise) to Region-0 (aka. regionless.) Anything you guys can suggest? Just to let you know, my preferred brands of CD/DVD-ROM drives (in descending order) are Lite-On, Plextor, Pioneer and AOpen. Also, I refuse to buy anything made by Creative. Their sound cards suck, their optical drives suck, and I just can't forgive them for what they did to Aureal.

[Finalbuster]

I have an Asus cd-s520/a, and it supports the subchannel thing.

[DashX]

TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2102 (DVD & CDR-W)

[Daggerus]

LG CDRW CED-8120B supported

[dpence]

Took a while to get back, but Pioneer A03 (DVD-R drive) works with subchannle. It also works great through a Maxtor PCI IDE UDMA100 controller card.

[Viperx25]

Just got a new Plextor PX-320A CD-RW/DVD combo 20/10/12/40 and it reads sub channel data beutifully :).

[fivefeet8]

EPO DVD 10x drive reads subchannels just fine and dandy..

Put Final Fantasy 9 in your dvd drive and using Pete's CDR ASPI/IOCTL Driver 1.10 go to config and then beside readmode click on try auto-detection. Tell me if it works!

[Mako Eyes]

Both my Samsung DVD-ROM SD-608 and my Mitsumi CDR/W-4804TE read sub channel data very well with ePSXe's default CD ROM plugin.

[ariano_romanov]

I use CloneCD to make image from game (approx 300 MB) and it message me that "ASUS 50X IDE" can't "read sub-channel data and audio".
The image files is finished and can be mounted by DaemonUI but there is no file or folder on virtual drive and the volume is not shown correctly (approx 600 MB)

HLDS 16X/10X/40X IDE CD/RW Drive (http://support.gateway.com/s/CDROM/HLDS/5502062/5502062nv.shtml)

my cd-rw that runs perfectly fine with subchannels ;)

[xxlenigma]

This mite be a little off topic but if someone can please answer this question for me. Does anyone know why epsxe runs ISO on my harddrive perfect but play my psx OFFICIAL CDROMS all slow, choopy, bad sound, and plan old ugly. Any feed back would be awesome thanks folks.

[liquid]

I have a cheap Afreey 10X DVD rom and it works fine with Subchannel reads, Same goes for my 8x4x32 Phillips CDR.

[EDDIEmu]

Works on Pioneer DVD-104 drive (slot drive).

I have a Creative 5x DVD drive that's really crappy and doesn't support DMA modes, so I will test that this week and edit my post to report if it works or not.

BTW...I just registered...how do I choose a custom avatar?

It doesn't let me add a custom avatar though, only the default FF9 ones... :( Is it dependant on number of posts probably? I'm brand new to the forum, maybe that's why.

Thanks though for replying. :)

[EDDIEmu]

TEAC CD-224E 24x drive on Targus SlimLine PCMCIA ATAPI interface works with subchannel options.

(Used on DELL Latitude CPi A Laptop, PII-366, 256MB, 12 GB, NeoMagic MagicMedia256AV 2.5MB video)

[_E_]

Most LG cd drives support sub channel reading. My LG 52x Max can do that ( i am not using my PC right now, so i dont recall the model number)

[zamaelsolas]

8X / 4X / 32X Samsung SW-208F def. compat. - excelent work to all programmers who have taken on the task at hand

[Zeke_D]

SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SM332-B also known as the Cendyne 32x10x40x12

[Rebel_X]

My Teac CD-RW 40X 540E, can read subchannel audio/data.. and my LG-84xx I cant remember its model very well..

[Scythe990]

im running a samsung CD-ROM SC-148C and everything seems to run fine, but a little slow (except tose games that the emulator has probs with)

what exactly does subchannel reading do?

-im still tweaking my setting for the best setup, what are the best configs?

[Mr. Killjoy]

>>>Samsung CDR/W SW-216B

Yeah! It is :)

NOT compatible:
Goldstar CRD-8322B
Creative (writer) 8438E

[Drack]

NEC DVD-ROM 8500a - Supports subchannel audio but not data subchannels (protected games do not work)
HP-CDWriter 9100+ - Supports audio and data subchannels (also supports RAW DAO +96)
Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-M1212 - Supports audio and data subchannels

Maybe a little late... this might be a great choose:

LG DRD 8160-B

It's 16x DVD read, 48x CD-ROM read; reads subchannels (at least, using alcohol 120%). And, with firmware update from this page (http://www.rpc1.com), or this one (http://www.geocities.com/dacbr7/), it's rpc-1. It's pretty reliable, truly 48x in CD reading (it allows me 'on the fly' copys at 24x on my cd-rw).

Ah!, my two drives support subchannel reading, i think both of them have been mentioned:

LG DRD 8160-B | LG CD-RW 8240-B

Have fun!!

[Galway no Sora]

I use my plextor CD RW and thats no problem on reading subchannel data. It's a PlexWriter 40/12/40A. But my Sony 48x CDROM and Pionner DVD 116R doesn't support subchannel data reading.

If you fell slower using physical CD/DVD ROM, why don't you using virtual CD/DVD ROM that support subchannel data like Daemon Tools [www.daemon.-tools.de]? You can make the CD image with CloneCD [www.elby.de] and use it with ePSXe without need to fear slower access [because this will depend on your hard drive speed].

:spy:

[fatality]

What is the significance of being able to use the subchannel reader? I've been able to run it using my IODATA CRWD-AB20J though.

[Galway no Sora]

fatality, mostly CD protection are stored in subchannel data. If you want to make the ISOs then you need a reader that capable to read subchannel data for 1:1 copies.

You can check your IODATA CRWD-AB20J capability in http://www.elby.ch/english/products/clone_cd/writers/a.html.

[Napro]

my Lite-on LTR-48246S seems to work tho i still run all my gamez from isoz

Well congreat to you, Napro. Your Lite-on LTR-48246S support Correct EFM- Encoding, RAW+96 read mode and RAW- DAO 96 write mode [http://www.elby.ch/english/products/clone_cd/writers/l.html#liteon]

The use of subchannel checking for commerical CD copy protections is becoming a less used technique. The latest SafeDisc 2 and SecuROM versions almost totally ignore the subchannels. Yet for PSX protection (Libcrypt) being able to write +96 subchannels is quite helpful.

[Itikmon]

I dont know about the rest of it, but my "BENQ" CDrom works just fine although I prefer to use the clone img to play.

[cryptonite]

here is the deal i have a toshiba DVD rom but for some reson i can't get my laptop to play my PS games i have a whole bunch of games but none of them work. I have done everything i am supposed to do i am using windows XP. It used to work when i had bleem on my windoes ME could someone pls help me out

[Galway no Sora]

Hmm, you asked in wrong thread ??? It's OK, post your computer spec and ePSXe plugin you're using.

[cryptonite]

pentium III 870mhz processor, 250mb ram, 10G hard drive, Toshiba DVD/CD rom 8x DVD speed and 24x CD speed i know this sounds slow but it worked b4 I installed windows xp. This weblink will give you more info about the DVD/CD rom http://support.packardbell-europe.com/support/pri/item/item_spec_dvd8x_Diva.asp?c=ap#Description I have an external CD-R/RW which is much faster it reads the cd but epsxe does not seem to be able to play the game using that drive. It does not even spin when i use my internal drive talk lees of reading it and i don't know haw to store the games on my hard drive. I have tried verious plugins. I have tried everyone on this site some of them kinda start working but instead of the game loading my screen becomes black

[op3n_skill]

Does Liteon 16X 10X 48X work real good?
Im using sub channel files... havent tried the other modes yet.

Well, I doubt that the drive is your problem, toshiba always makes very good cd readers and it should have no problem reading a PSX disc, even if it is copy protected. I would reccomend that you check to see if your plug-ins are configured correctly, try a different plug-in, or try making a CD image of the game you are trying to play and run it from that.

> Does Liteon 16X 10X 48X work real good?

LiteON drives have some of the best writing quality available. I reccomend RAW DAO+96 for writing, and RAW+96 of reading. I don't know about in the PSX plugin, just do what ever that works.

[Galway no Sora]

LiteOn CD RW have a good quality both in writing and reading. Only one complain about them as my brother's shop sell it : loud when spinning the disc :p.

[op3n_skill]

whoops.... its just 32X read, not 40.....
like 404's with osok firmware...

[Drack]

>LiteOn CD RW have a good quality both in writing and reading. Only one complain about them as my brother's shop sell it : loud when spinning the disc

Yes both reading and writing in the LiteON drives are very good. If you want the best in reading the Toshibas DVD's are the best IMO.

[sonicjam]

this emulator use to work on my pc now it don't I'm so mad :cuss2: :hdbash:

[Galway no Sora]

It's from Elby version, with CloneCD. But, AFAIK that CloneCD compability CD RW list isn't correct [about 1 and 2 stars] of EFM encoding [I test it myself], I would not thinking Toshiba is the best until I can proove it by myself.

EFM encoding only makes a difference in the writing stage. Yes it is true that Toshiba isn't the best at CD writing qulaity, but its reading capabilities are quite good. Really though it doesn't matter, as long as the drive supports RAW +96 reading it can do just about anything.

For EFM [as you said], its useless for CD reader and only needed by CD burner. But, in many case [almost all] CD reader have a big problem reading CD that "un-supported" by CloneCD.

For Toshiba, Elby [in their Help files] stated the best reader, not writing. And thats for DVD ROM, not CD ROM.

[Armand Karlsen]

Mine's a Samsung SD-612 drive and I'm having problems getting FF9 to play (though I can get a directory listing in Windows). I'm using the default CD plugin that came with ePSXe 1.6.0, should I try a different plugin?

[Galway no Sora]

FF9, IIRC need ppf patch to work correctly, what version you have? European, I think ?

[Armand Karlsen]

European/PAL discs, PAL (AFAICT) BIOS for ePSXe.

[Kane]

I answered that in your othere thread.

[Armand Karlsen]

I'll shut up now :)

[Iceydamo]

My philips 52X24X52X CD-RW5224 VP1.4 runs ff9 with petes 1.11 plugin and creates sub channel files nicely aswell

[IceFlow]

Sorry about this.
What is sub channel reading?

All I know is that PS1 CD's do not work with my CD-RW. It keeps skipping or something. Doesent Spin Properly.

After inserting the disc many times and bending the cd a little holding the sides and pushing the middle up it worked. I am making an ISO while I can.

My CyberDrive CW038D CD-R/CD-RW to my knowledge reads subchannel data. Not bad for $130 aus ;)

[Spacelord]

Erm excuse my ignorance but, i just saw that i didnt have read subchannel enabled with epsxe internal cd for w2k/nt ..im using xp. Whats the difference in games if its enable or not?

[Drack]

The only difference is that some copy protected games won't play. This is caused by the libcrypt protection that sony uses on some PSX disks. If your drive doesn't support it there are some patches available to fix it.

Maybe it's an obvious question, but:

HOW DO U KNOW IF YOUR CD/DVD Drive CAN READ SUBCHANNELS???

Is there a program or utility that tells u that???

[DemonicSoul]

mines a ATAPI 52X Cd-Rom, Firmware 3.20

my Lite-On 52246S works

i know it's reviving an old thread...but its a sticky anyway and its for the good of the people ;)

Well, there's a REALLY NICE little prog called DVDRegion-Free that let's you play any DVD on any drive regardless of the drive's region setting. In fact, you can even play the discs WITHOUT setting any region on the drive first (i've never touched my drive's setting!).
It works well with my LG DVD/CD-RW combo (don't remember the model, but it's a 16X DVD and 48X 24X 48X burner!)

[hushypushy]

yeah i have that program, it's a good one (let's me play a DVD my mom got me from japan).

but...that's really OT. this is about subchannel reading, not DVDs...

[MrSpock]

Yeah, I know!

But I was just answering some one and I forgot to quote the guy...

I'm sorry for that!

My DVD-Drive that came with Dell Dimension 4600 works wonders with subchannels.

[dbhankins]

The information about your Dell Dimension 4600's DVD drive would be far more useful if you:

Open Windows Explorer.
Right-click your CD-ROM drive.
Click Properties.
Click the Hardware tab.
Find your CD-ROM drive in the list.
Post the name of it here (editing your previous post will do fine).

What you did post is nearly useless as the same model computer can ship with different model drives - even drives from different manufacturers.

My TDK DVD RW 0404N (so says the model in the device man...I've had it for a couple years - I forget what hte box said) plays FFIX just fine.

Is there some other way to test it?

[hushypushy]

you can use alcohol 120%, cloneCD, or a similar program to make an ISO with subchannel data. i thought that nero's infotool had it too but i cant find the option right now, guess i just imagined it.

In the "Device Manager" for WinXP, these were the names:
JLMS XJ-HD166S (DVD-ROM)
MAT$HITA DVD-RAM SW-9585 (DVD-RAM/+RW/+R/-RW/-R/+R DL)

I was meaning to post in this sticky thread a while back, but forgot to. Does anyone know if my DVD-RW Supports Reading/Writing Subchannels? It's a very new drive, only about 7-8 months old.

My drive is a:

Sony Dual Layer DVD-RW DRU-810A , DVD Rewritable drive.

Any info to as whether this supports subchannel Reading/Writing, is greatly apreciated, Thank You;)

Btw, I realize this thread has not been posted to in about 4-5 months, so I apologize for reviving it, yet once again.

[darth sephiroth]

lg dvd 8160 reads subchannel, and not exactly slowly :)
with the ePSXe Internal plugin.

Norway is still the best country to live in.
for the world baby!!

[hushypushy]

alright this thread is way old---over four years old. most drives support subchannel reading, and even if not, there are plenty of patches out there. i've watched people post in this thread and let it slide, but now i'm fed up, it's really really old. just realize that your drive probably does support subchannels, and if you're not sure, go try it out ;)

[darth sephiroth]

Hehe or you could always perform a quick search of it's name in this thread :P
