Metal Gear Solid

[notorgo]

I've been having a problem with Metal Gear Solid, and was wondering if anyone had any expertise to share. Basically the game looks and runs great, but I'm unable to use save states. I can save use the in game save, but whenever I reload from a save-state the sound goes quiet and the game will not let me exit from the codec screen. This happens in both ePSXe versions 1.6.0 and 1.5.2

Has anyone had this problem? The game is definitely playable as it is, but I'm a big fan of save states and want to get them working if I can.

Here's my info: P4 2.53 GHz, 512 PC3200 RAM, GF4 TI4400, Win XP SP2

Have you test it using the other Pete's GPU plugins yet? :cool:

Ah, found the problem. Switched my sound driver over to P.E.Op.S. DSound Audio Driver 1.8 and no everything works fine. Guess I'm just used to relying on EternalSPU.
