Null's SPU Queries

EfrainMan · July 19th, 2001

I'm playing FF9 using Null's SPU V1.34. Whenever a character whacks an enemy with a stick

, instead of a "BAM" sound, I get a "DING" sound. Not that big of a deal, except other SPUs do it right. The other thing: certain sounds (Burmecian bells, certain enemy sounds, doors opening) play way too quickly, like "bng" instead of "BOONG". Here are my settings:

So, what's goin' on here? What's the next best SPU, if it can't be avoided?

You can use prodigy SPU, it is based on NULL's

here are my settings

22050Hz 16bit (psx doesn't sample any higher for this game I believe)
Buffer 30
Block 5

SPU hack: ON

Naw, didn't work . . . will try other SPU's.

Might I suggest that you try Iroi's SPU vers. 1.46? That is the one that I am using and I get amazing results w/it. All the sounds, and I do mean all, are present in Gauntlet Legends and the music plays flawlessly as well. Plus it does speech very well too. I tried Koudelka the other night and the speech was excellent. So give it a try if you want, it just may fix your problem.
sincerely,

hey sxamiga, my system is almost identical to yours.
what are your buffer & Block settings for Iori's SPU?

EfrainMan · July 21st, 2001

Yes, that would be good for me to know as a starting point, too. Thanks for the advice, sxamiga.

Iori's was worse. I tried quite a few different settings, including the real-time thing. I'm sticking with Null2's.

EfrainMan · August 2nd, 2001

Okay, I started using v1.35 of Null2's, but now the game freezes whenever I try to load state. I tried a few different things to no avail.

Has anyone figured it out? :confused: Or should I just go back to v1.34? :eyes:
