Castlevania-Curse Of Darkness Movie Skipping Bug

SKJmin · September 27th, 2008, 21:36

The game runs almost perfect.
But the movies...

I'm watching the Ingame Movies and suddenly the game skips the movies...
but why?

There is no patch file for Curse Of Darkness.

I'm using the gdsx (MVC 15.00 SSE41) 1.19 and Gigaherz DVD plugin 0.70
All the other games are running without problems (also FFX, FFX-2 and FF12)

My Sys is not the prob I think!

Intel Quad Core Q9550
Nvidia GeForce GT 280
4GB Ram@887Mhz
Vista X64 build

Could someone help please!
Only the movies are sucking. Gameplay is more than nice

Thanks in advance

Are you using the beta/svn pcsx2?
Disable the speedhacks and try again

IPU is not fully emulated yet,resulting in the behavior you just saw,self skipping movies.Probably there is nothing you can do about it,just hope a future version of PCSX2 fixes it

Well that happens to me on Lament of innocence, when the speedhacks are on.
When i disable them (normally to fight the bosses) i can watch the videos just fine.
I also have Curse of Darkness, but only playing after i finish LOI.

Also in LOI the movies were be skipped sometimes..
But I diabled the speedhacks too and nothing has changed!

You you send screenshots with your configs?
And which plugins you're using

Well i use latest pcsx2 beta (available on official site), gsdx 0.1.9, zerospu2 0.4.6, ssspsx pad, linuzappz iso.

And the videos only get skipped if i enable the speedhacks. Ive done a single test, i beat one boss with hacks on, then again with hacks off, the 1st time the videos after the battle just skipped, but the 2nd time i could watch them just fine.
