Thunder Force 5 Sound Weirdness

DeadCaL · May 12th, 2006, 20:15

Hello, I've tried playing the original Japanese version of TF5 on alot of emulators, and the problem I'm having with all of them is the sound, virtually every plugin I try produces the same scratchy choppy soundtrack. Anyone got any ideas?

After ALOT of messing about, I have finally found the answer myself. Believe it or not, it's a problem with the Graphics plugins. The sound for this game doesn't run properly unless you are running Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.58, everything else completely messes the sound up, including other Pete's OpenGL drivers.

So for future reference, anyone trying to run this game will always have problems with XA sound unless you use Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.58.

Oh my. That's a really outdated plugin.
If it is a problem with XA sound, chances are it is your SPU plugin. I suggest Eternal's SPU with its settings set to:
SPUasync, Smooth with a buffer of 32.

Update you Pete's OGL plugin to 1.76
