Vib Ribbon hangs while loading

I've obtained an image file for Vib Ribbon on PS1, however, it doesn't work properly. Title screen and such appear as they should, but once I start a new game it loads for a while and then hangs. Also, if there is supposed to be music during the "how to play" part, I'm not hearing any. I suspect the problem might be solved by burning the image to CD, but I don't want to unnecessarily waste a CD-R. Any insights on what's wrong and how to solve it?

What is your configuration on your emulator, and wut emulator are you using?? Is the game NTSC or PAL??? What Bios r u running?

I'm using EPSXE; the game is PAL.

Using Eternal SPU Plugin with regular setttings. PEOPS CDR Driver for CD-Rom with these settings:

Using 1001 bios.

Try using SCPH7502.BIN as your Bios as it is the Specific Bois for PAL games. See if that helps the problem.

Nope, doesn't work.

Could be a few things... Where did you obtain this IMG file from... If you did not rip it yourself its likely there is a corruption in it... Also you might wanna try using an older or newer version of ePSXe.
