Symphony of the Night Problems

Lexingtongue · March 22nd, 2007

Hi all I tried putting this on my machine using pSX v1.11 and it ran fine however no sound was present. Is there anyway to sort this?

I finally got it working on my far inferior laptop but I keep getting hideous sound lag on stages with speaking and music jumps occasionally from screen to screen. Ive also had one crash.

I am however playing straight from my disc as I have tried making ISO images of the file but they stick at 90%. Can anyone recomend a method to get the disc onto my PC? Ive tried using ISObuster and UltraISO and both got to 90% before hanging.

Thanks in advance and sorry if Ive broke any rules, Ive done this as a last resort before I head off to bed. Could play the game with these little problems but would be nice to get rid of them to be honest. And Id ideally like to play it on my PC so if we can sort the sound issues out that would be even better!

Nope, you haven't broken any rules. First what are your system specs? Do you have any sound problems with other games on psX, or is this the only game you've tried and which version of the game is it ( NTSC-U etc. )? I would suggest cleaning your disc, if you can try rubbing a bit of toothpaste on it if you see scratches, and then rinse it off. Also, install clonecd and see if you're able to make an image with that program... I was able to rip my US version of Symphony of the Night perfectly with it.

my specs are well above the recomended although i dont know them off hand, im on my laptop now. its an ntsc copy of the game.

its the only psx game ive tried on the pc to date. just made a copy with clonecd, i'll report back. thanks for the help.

Yep no problem let me know how it works out.

it seems to be running a lot faster from the .ccd but the sound is crackling constantly now. this is running on the laptop. any ideas what it might be?

Not entirely sure, be sure that your correct sound card is selected like I have in the screen shot and play around with the sound options a bit. Here's how I have mine set up...

@Lexingtongue: If you haven't solved your problem yet, maybe you could try turning up your latency values a bit ("a bit" meaning about 5 ms at a time). The idea, of course, is to have it long enough to eliminate the crackling and such, but short enough that the sound isn't noticeably lagging behind everything else.

hey guys, got it sorted in the end. managed to burn an iso to my machine from the disc (eventually!) and it worked fine from there! im at 191.6% and cant find that final 9% anywhere! grr!

You didn't need to burn the image at all. You just had to select the top 3 options under sound config (this is for ePSXe btw). It works fine for me that way.

Probably, You need download the latest version of Direct X. Maybe that solved your problems.
