PicoDrive for PSP v1.35b - Genesis/Sega CD Emulator for the PSP

[mystiemyth]

I still can't get Lunar 1 to play music, I get some sound fx. Lunar 2 works fine now ( I got past the spot it was hung at and have had no problems since.)

Lunar is named

Lunar the Silver Star 01.iso

and the mp3's are called

Lunar the Silver Star 02.MP3
Lunar the Silver Star 03.MP3 etc.

any advice?

"Lunar the Silver Star 01.iso"...Change your iso in to this "Lunar the Silver Star.iso"..I hope it will work for you.:thumbup:.."Lunar the Silver Star 02.MP3","Lunar the Silver Star 03.MP3" etc..

[mystiemyth]

I changed it to Lunar the Silver Star.iso

Still no music.

Thanks for another update. Loving it

mystiemyth: Have you made sure the mp3s are standard mp3's (not MP3Pro), are 44.1khz stereo and have a (CBR) bitrate of somewhere between 96 and 128kbps?

Does the emu go back out to the menu when the iso finishes loading (can choose resume game to play), or go straight into the game but with no CD-audio?

EDIT: A cpl other things I thought of; You have windows set to show file extensions right? I haven't tried it myself but if windows was hiding file extensions and you renamed the files to .mp3 manually, then they would actually be named GameName_02.mp3.mp3 and perhaps that doesn't work with the emu because the last characters before the extension are not track numbers.
Also, your not on firmware 1.5 and using a previous version of picodrive still are you? CD-audio only works under firmware 1.5 with picodrive 1.35b.
This one is probably just stupid, but perhaps it doesn't like upper case file extensions (.MP3 rather than .mp3). I really doubt that would be it.

I've used Mediacoder to adjust the Mp3's to the recommended type (and still nothing).

The emu will not go straight to the game (I get an mp3 error, but I also get that when loading Lunar 2 but it plays fine).

I do not have windows set to hide extensions.

I am using Firmware 1.5 and the lastest version of Picodrive. (1.35b)

And the mp3's are lower case.

If your .mp3's are to the recommended type (44.1khz stereo and a CBR bitrate between 96-128kbps) then the only thing I can think of is to change your file name from Lunar the Silver Star.iso (I suggest converting to .cso to save memory) to Lunar the Silver Star_01.iso, Lunar the Silver Star_02.mp3, Lunar the Silver Star_03.mp3 ect... Hope that helped.

Change to:

Lunar the Silver Star_02.MP3
Lunar the Silver Star_03.MP3

Add the underscore (_)

Tried that.

Still nothing.

I think I'm just screwed.

Unless there is a way to get a Custom firmware on a PSP that is already at level 3.71. Is that possible? I've asked several times and no one will give me an answer either way.

Thanks

Thanks Notaz,

This Sega CD emulator is the best emulator for the psp since devhook , custom firmware and downgrader / upgrader / downgrader / upgrader / etc . The only thing missing from the psp is fmv games - like Night Trap, Corspe Killer, Supreme Fighter, etc. , this emulator has fixed that.

Great Job!!! Thanks!

Now time to test the Sega CD emulator...
