Two questions regarding PEOpS CDR plugin

F-3582 · April 16th, 2003

Hi, I've got a problem: I can't set up any read-ahead mode except "None - reads one sector". Whenever I choose a different option it automatically switches back when opening the config window again. Is this normal with WinXP, because that issue didn't occur with Win98!

The next question: Is it possible to handle game-specific subchannel files like the ePSXe CDR core does (when starting SLES_xxx.xx it will load that specific SLES_xxx.xx.m3s subchannel file)?

I don't know XP very much, but I think it can be the cause in a way or another...
Go back to 98

Yeah, I already wanted to do that last weekend, but I didn't have so much time...

IIRC, I encountered the same bug when I was to use XP (now I came back to W2k).

AFAIK, I don't think so, because in the P.E.Op.S. cdr plugin u need to choose the .ppf u want to apply, so everytime u change the game, u need to change the .ppf. Just a question: have u tried to enable the "apply .ppf option" w/o choosing a .ppf and then start ePSXe? As I'm not at home (I'm at work

) and I don't have any games here, I can't try it... maybe a "choose .ppf window" appears :confused:

Thx, bye

edit > ops, I saw I wrote about .ppf and F-3582 asked about subchannel files: well, my advice is the same, enable the "subchannel from file" option w/o choosing a file, then start ePSXe and see if a "choose subchannel window" appears...

Mr. Killjoy · April 16th, 2003

There is still the "Async read problem"...

F-3582 · April 16th, 2003

I didn't speak about ppf patches, but subchannel files (although your idea is somehow similar)...

Mr. Killjoy · April 16th, 2003

It works with Pete's too...

F-3582 · April 16th, 2003

PEOpS CDR plugin doesn't automatically load (and create) the subchannel file needed for a specific game.

Mr. Killjoy · April 17th, 2003

When I make an ISO with CCD, the sub has the same name as the img, and when you open it in epsxe, there's a message in the Dos box saying "blablabla (+subchannel file)"

F-3582 · April 17th, 2003

ISOs are played by the internal CDR core, but not by PEOpS CDR plugin.

Mr. Killjoy · April 17th, 2003

LOL, right, I'm mistaken... anyway, when I play my ISOs, the sub file is read too

F-3582 · April 19th, 2003

OK, now I've switched to Win98 and Async Read works again :joice:

The only feature I am still waiting for is that automatic patch/subchannel file loading.

Gismo · April 19th, 2003

I tried my little advice (enabling the "subchannel from file" option, not choosing a subchannel file and starting ePSXe), but no "choose subchannel file" window, sorry

Just u to know...

Thx, bye
