Tough Star Ocean problem

dimez17 · September 2nd, 2007

Hey guys. I've been playing star ocean again and now I'm at the end. I've been playing it in windowed mode and when I X'ed out of it the sound kept playing. I restarted after that but now whenever I play disc 2 there is no sound. I do hear sound when I boot disc 1. Please help. The image is on my laptop cuz CDrom is a drag.

You have to exit the emulator properly Esc--> File --> close

I know how to exit properly. exiting out like that was an accident. But ever since that incident I don't hear anything when I play star ocean disc 2.

did you.. reset your computer? (Or went to the task manager and ended epsxe's task)

Is it only SO2 that has problems? Or all games?

And if you're using save states, don't.

After I xed out of windowed mode improperly the audio continued to play. I tried to kill the process in task manager but I couldn't find any processes related to EPSXE. I reseted and shut down numerous times since the incident but I haven't been able to retrieve the sound. Other games do continue to work though.

EDIT: I have tried it from both saves states and memory card save points

sorry for the double post but the problem has been resolved. I've loaded from a different save point and that seems to have worked. Mysterious problem but thanks guys.

I have a Problem with the game too. I can play upto the first battle but when I win, the emu freezes. Can anyone tell me with plugins they're using and what emu and BIOS. Please.
Thanks

I Don't know if your question has been answered yet but my vid config is up there. I heard sound config is a large factor in this game. I use Eternal SPU Plugin Lite 1.41
[X]enable sound
[X]enable CDDA Sound
[X]enable XA sound
Config
Direct sound buffer:64
Audio out method: Thread
Special game fix
[X]SPU IRQ - Wait CPU action
[X]SPU IRQ - Force interruption flag7
[X] Wait for XA buffer is free

I don't know if its the best config but it works for me.
