Crash Racing Team-ePSXe Problem HELP pls!

Hi everyone, im new here. I like to play again CTR game in PC this time and tried to play it from CD and as ISO . The ISO gives me nothing and from CD i managed to start the CRT but only the SONY start-picture-entranse appeared although the music and the game runs ok.

The problem is that i got only Audio and no VIDEO after the SONY logo!!!

Can anyone help?

Some games won't run on ePSXe 1.6.0. Try running it on an older version such as 1.5.2.

OK i figured out what was going wrong. The 1.6.0 is ok, and beleive me 3 hours now i tried all the emules i found 2 years now!!!

For next users with same problem the answer is that in Sound you have to select the option 'Enable SPU IRQ hack' as well.

Because [i dont know why!!!] it doesnt save that setting you have to do it every time and ofcourse after you start the game so forget about the full view option!!!

Thanks all for your interest

Just for the record, Crash Team Racing is running fine on epsxe 1.6.0. I just tested the game myself.

So for any game that doesn't run on ePSXe 1.6.0, should I have to turn that on? Well, I'll try it and post my thoughts.

The PAL version of Crash Team Racing is protected, so you need to enable Subchannel reading from the P.E.Op.S CDr plugin, use a PPF file or even a M3S. Get them all here

About the IPS patch, unzip it on the ePSXe "patches" subfolder, and rename it to "SCES_021.05" exactlly. Make sure to change both the file name and extension to the one I told you, and the Auto load PPF file option is enabled: "Options" -> "Auto load PPF..."

Otherwise, is posible to use a M3S file from the same site, unzip and load it on the Peops CDr plugin: "Config" -> "CD-Rom" -> "P.E.Op.S CDR Driver" -> "Subchannel Reading" -> "Use SBI/M3S file": On the "File" line click on "...", then look for the M3S file.

Hi to all! I'm having a problem with Crash Team Racing also! First I'm not sure if the game is NTSC or PAL. The .bin file I'm using was from a perfectly working psx game. I've done my research: I've been to the P.E.Op.S. CDR Driver config and directed the path to a MS3 file under the subchannel reading option. Put ppf file in the patches subfolder. Renamed the patch to SCES_021.05. I've tried to enable the SPU Irq hack under the sound plugin config. And for some reason it doesn't stay checked after i close the program. All of my other games work perfectly fine. Is there anything I'm doing wrong!? Do I need another sound plugin other than the "ePSXe SPU core" for this to work? If I use the MS3 file do I need to change the name of the file to SCES_021.05? I have version 1.6.0. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanx in advance!!!

I'm not sure if this will help, but give a try either P.E.Op.S. or Eternal SPU plugins, and enable SPU IRQ hack in them.

On the other hand, to know if a game is PAL or NTSC, mount the CD image with Daemon Tools and look at the root folder of the virtual CD: If there's a SCES_###.## or SLES_###.## it's PAL. SCUS_###.## or SLUS_###.## is NTSC-U and SLPS_###.## or SLPM_###.##, NTSC-J.

Thanks Alot!!!! I got it to work!!! Just needed the sound plugin...Thanx again!!!

You can't as you have to do it by yourself as every performance is pretty different to one PC to another PC just by using the same configuration. Huge difference will be on PC specs.
