    Swap Trick W/ Saturn Ram Games.....

    in Other Emulators [/pc/other]

    Posted

    Yeah I checked there & was able to dig up a FAQ for how to swap w/ the PAR...then I figured out that wasn't my problem. For some reason, even though I'm using a 4-in-1 PAR, my Model 1 Saturn refuses to boot burnt import games when doing the swap trick. I get to the Sega screen then it freezes. I've tried everything I can think of w/ no results & couldnt find an answer @ Sega Xtreme....any ideas?

    Problems W/ Multi-track Ps1 Games

    in PS1 Emulators [/pc/ps1]

    Posted

    OK I think I solved my own problem.....

     

    Here's the multiple-audio track PS1 games that I have along w/ their respective # of tracks:

     

    Brigandine (U) - 18

    Darkstalkers (U) - 46

    Dead or Alive (U) - 29

    Earthworm Jim 2 (E) - 15

    Megaman X3 (E) - 32

    Silhouette Mirage (U) - 26

    Street Fighter Collection (U) - 72

    Tekken (U) - 14

     

    I have been told by a reliable source that most burners can only support either 2, 4, or 8 subchannel data tracks at the most. That's why the games with 1-4 tracks on them seem to work OK, while any game that has more than 4 will not play music when played in a PS2. There are burners in the corporate world that burn up to 128 sub channels, but they can cost $3000 & up!!!! I guess that if I want to play these games w/ the music, it will have to be in ePSXe & not my PS2 <_<

    PS2 Boot

    Well you have a couple of options as far as boot discs go:

     

    PS1

     

    Breaker Pro as mentioned above, or most any other game enhancing devices (Gameshark, Pro Action Replay, etc.). I use a Gameshark CDX 3.51 for my PS1 boot disc & it works great <_<

     

    PS2 CD

     

    Swap Magic PS2 CD Disc, or like the PS1 games, you can use PS2 game enhancing devices, since 99.9% of them come on PS2 CD's.

     

    PS2 DVD

     

    The only boot disc for PS2 DVD games that I know of is the Swap Magic PS2 DVD disc. I've heard rumors that for a short time a DVD PS2 gameshark was released but was swiftly cancelled....What I wouldn't pay to get ahold of one of those.....

    Problems W/ Tales Of Destiny 1 & 2

    in PS1 Emulators [/pc/ps1]

    This is a problem that has been bothering me for months. I can't get Tales of Destiny or Tales of Destiny 2 backups to boot up in my PS2 with the swap trick. As far as I know they are not copy-protected (well, they aren't on the list at megagames.com at least :P ) and I can't seem to find any type of patch available for them. Any1 ever get the backups of these games to boot up in a PS2? Tales of Phantasia works fine, so why can't Tales of Destiny and Tales of Destny 2 lol

    Pal's To Ntsc...

    in PS1 Emulators [/pc/ps1]

    I'm having some trouble w/ the colors & screen position on PAL games when converting them for play on my NTSC PS2. The only 3 PAL PS1 games that I have are Megaman Battle & Chase, Megaman X3, and Earthworm Jim 2, and that is only because they weren't released here in the US :lol:

     

    Patch-It! successfully converts the game to NTSC, but the colors are incorrect and the screen position is off. Pal4U 2k is supoosed to fix these problems but it fails whenever I patch the PAL game. Any know of any other solution? I'd appreciate it.....

    Problems W/ Multi-track Ps1 Games

    Hey, Gamecop assured me an answer could be found to this question, so here we go :lol:.....

     

    I am currently using a swap trick to play burnt PS1 games on my PS2. I use a Gameshark CDX for swapping purposes. It works for almost every PS1 game I burn. The only time I seem to have problems is when I burn a game w/ multiple audio tracks and I get no sound. Most PS1 games are single track, but there are a few that aren't. The games I'm having trouble with are:

     

    Brigandine (U)

    Darkstalkers (U)

    Earthworm Jim 2 (E)

    Megaman X3 (E)

    Silhouette Mirage (U)

    Street Fighter Collection (U)

    Tekken (U)

     

    I have tried burning these discs w/ all manners of burning software including Alcohol 120%, BlindWrite, Nero, and CDRWin 3.9 & 5.0 and keep getting no music while playing them in my PS2. The only way I have ever been able to hear music from these games is when I mounted the cue file on D-Tools 3.41 & played them in ePSXe 1.6.0. Running the straight bin image gets me no music. I've heard that since I'm using a Gameshark CDX as a boot disc and it does not include multiple cd tracks, this is preventing the music from playing on my PS2. If any1 knows of a way around this please reply & you will have my admiration forever :lol:
