(Linux)-Game Movies Skip.

XVampireX · July 30th, 2006

Hi, I'm running linux (ubuntu) and for some reason, on any emulator (Even ePSXe 1.5.2 and 1.6.0) the movies skip, alot!

What's wrong with it? Can anyone help?

what you mean skips, stops for a while, and restarts

seems to lag for a little, then continue.

Post system specs + ur plugins ur using aswell as there settings.

What I mean by skips is that during the movie, the sound would skip, and so would the movie itself (Strangely enough it's just the movies...).

My specs are:
P4 1.5ghz
256mbram
Geforce FX 5200 128mb video ram
Sound Blaster PCI 128 (Not sure it's related though).

Plugins:
Pete's MesaGL Driver 1.76
Eternal SPU Plugin 1.41

Settings:

Have you tried ripping an image of the game in question? You might get better performance if played the game from the hard drive. You might want to try using Peops SPU, also.

They ARE Images...

But I'm thinking I fixed it more or less... It's still skipping, but less... I don't know how I fixed it!

Hi again,

I've found the source of the problem, but do not know how to fix it.
The source of the problem seems to be the Sound plugins, when they can't handle something they make the whole game jump (skip).

I've tried looking for ALSA plugins but the only one is PEO.ps and I can't even compile it because all it has is make, and make doesn't let me configure anything... I'm quite sure ALSA will fix the problem (I'm not a big fan of OSS...).

Can anyone help me, please?!

What sound plugin are you using? I'm actually trying to find a way to skip through the amvs to keep my gametime low, so if I could duplicate what you're doing...
