List of cdrom/dvd models supporting subchannel reading.

**calb** · March 14th, 2002

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** · March 14th, 2002

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)

I have a Pioneer DVD-106S and it read FF9 ita without any patch, so...

!!!!!!!! Thanks ePSXe team and Pete!!!!!!

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...

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.

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:

Regards, Kungaan

Particleman · March 17th, 2002

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

Works with Asus 50x IDE cdrom

ego533 · March 17th, 2002

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 · March 18th, 2002

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 · March 18th, 2002

Samsung CDR/W SW-216B works perfectly

and also Mitsui DVD reader MT1316B BDV212B

March 18th, 2002

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

March 18th, 2002

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

ChrisRay : Nice new avater !

March 19th, 2002

how do i find out if my drive reads it?

+=|KaRMa|=+ · March 19th, 2002

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...
