lockshaw13 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Hey, Gamecop assured me an answer could be found to this question, so here we go ..... 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderSkorpion Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Well, you could grab another swap solution for the PS2 from ConsoleSource. They sell a disc there for the PS2 that should let you play backups (I don't know how it works, though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockshaw13 Posted April 10, 2004 Author Share Posted April 10, 2004 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) - 18Darkstalkers (U) - 46Dead or Alive (U) - 29Earthworm Jim 2 (E) - 15Megaman X3 (E) - 32Silhouette Mirage (U) - 26Street Fighter Collection (U) - 72Tekken (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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderSkorpion Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 That doesn't seem right. I can't tell you what the problem is, but it may have to do with the disc you're booting with. You may need a multitrack disc to boot it up or get a new boot method. I wish I had an easy answer, but that's probably the problem, not the sub channels.

lockshaw13 Posted April 12, 2004 Author Share Posted April 12, 2004 Well is there a ps1 boot disc that has sub-channel data? I use a Gameshark CDX to boot w/ and apparently it doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanManXZ Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Well is there a ps1 boot disc that has sub-channel data? I use a Gameshark CDX to boot w/ and apparently it doesn't have tried using the swap trick for PS1 and seeing if the games work on that. All you need is a paper clip, a local game, and Gameshark CDX (which you should have) instructions: http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5398 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderSkorpion Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Well, lockshaw may not have a PS1/PSX (hence why he/she's using the PS2). You could try that boot disc at Console Source, but I don't know if it works or not with multi track games. You could also get a mod-chip of some sort. That's probably your best bet for getting the games to boot up correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
