Sound and video out of sync

[Lichen]

I'm trying to run DDR 3rd and 5th mix, but I've noticed that the sound is about a tenth of a second slower than the video is. I haven't noticed this in any other games, but of course DDR is really the only one where you would notice something like this since it's impossible to play properly when out of sync.

Using ePSXe 1.6.0 with Pete's D3D 1.7.5 and Eternal SPU 1.41 (don't know how to put my whole config in here).

Any ideas?

what are your computer's specs? Pete's plugins have a "paste" setting.

for Eternal: just use default.

and it helps to make an ISO.

Running a P4 1.6a @ 2.4, 512MB DDR, 845g video (onboard), Win2k SP3. I already play all my games as ISOs rather than off the CD, makes the loading times more bearable and gets rid of the CD drive sounds

Using these settings for the video plugin, it maintains a constant 60fps while playing

Longshot but try turning OFF fps limit in the gpu and using eternal with SPUasync and wait (ie let the spu control the speed of the emu)

I think that's fixed it! Had to set SPUasync to 'Wait' mode though, otherwise it ran just like if you had no frame limiter.

Thanks

yeah, well, he did say "put it to wait"
