Problem with MGS

HelpThisNewb · April 7th, 2004

Hi. I'm playing Metal Gear Solid just fine for the most part, but the problem is, that during the cinematics (Like, when snake arrives at the first stage, or that big talk with president Baker), that game lags a lot, and looks like it's trying to read from the CD, since a little CD icon appear at the top. But the catch is, I'm running the game from an ISO. Can someone point me what's wrong?

Try to use the ePSXe SPU Core sound plugin. (Well, perhaps it isn't a sound problem but I had this problem too, it's what I did and now it's fine.)

Omg, wasn't that right? I tried that and the intro cinematic worked absolutely perfect, unlike when I was using Eternal SPU(Not that I find the plugin bad... I only used it till now) Thank you so much dude! =)

edit: you are also gonna need to use ePSXe 1.5.2, Pete himself noted that 1.6.0 has sound timing problems.
