Has anyone had this problem with certain games.

I have noticed that need for speed 1 will only work if sound is enabled but at the cost of performance, if i disable sound it only load up to the main menu and then when i try to start the game it freezes the emulator.

Any work-around?

here is the output through xterm:-

- $ psx4m-gui
/opt/maemo/usr/games/pcsx -nosound -bios scph1000.bin -bdir /home/user/MyDocs/bios/ -fullscreen -fps -cdfile /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/Games/psx roms/NFS1.img -save_name NFS1.img

Sorted it

checked the output in xterm with sound enabled and i noticed 1 line was showing

plugin: /opt/maemo/usr/games/plugins/builtin_spu

sound disabled was showing

plugin: /opt/maemo/usr/games/plugins/spunull.so

so i gathered that may be the problem.

In advance menu i ticked the -spu irq always enabled- and that sorted the problem out.

@Bazza

Which gpu option are you using? Also do you have Threaded sound enabled? Because I had that problem way back with crash bandicoot when I unintentionally enabled Threaded sound.

neon_gpu

sorted it out now see last post

Yep! Missed out the space between "
users" and "/home"

After a reset now working as expected, and have to say..

WOW! Massive speed increase! Tony Hawk 4 runs maybe even a little too fast at 850mHz, and Tekken 3 too...

Shame the GLes version doesn't run so smooth, as having the speed of the Neon GPU and the smooth 3d/2d graphics would be awesome!

After I Install the last update psx4m not working with psx4m-gui. Pcsx rearmed works. Does anyone face the same problem?

Bazza | # 648 | 2011-12-29, 20:23 | Report

Yes same here just pcsx rearmed works but with the performance we get that should be all we need.

psx4m works for me, just need to wait a little bit longer for it to kick in. Using the neon-gpu and it works a bit faster but the sound is still very...er...jumpy. Still, works pretty nicely.

Surely if you're using the neon-gpu you're running pcsx-rearmed?
