PCSX ReARMed r14 - Game "Ridge Racer 2 Revolutions" not working anymore

[notaz]

Music/player works correctly here, maybe something wrong with your CD image.

Which BIOS do you use?

 

[notaz]

SCPH1001, but it should not matter as CDROM commands don't go through BIOS, the cdrom libraries are compiled into the games themselves.

 

[porg]

Started with a fresh appdata/pcsx_rearmed dir, recopied BIOS and CUE/BIN files.


Still the same, some bg-tracks work, some not. Seems to be a rip problem.

After a lot of trial'n'error, I made an astonishing discovery:


My image format was CCD/IMG/SUB.


After removing the .SUB file, the audio works fine!


The background music now always plays!


The dedicated music player still fails, but that's irrelevant to the gaming experience!


Very satisfying now!


In the game Dino Crisis I also had some audio stuttering/skipping errors within the voice dialogues.


After moving the SUB file away, the trouble was resolved!!!


This knowledge is worth to be documented! As I don't want to spread wrong information, and could only speculate whether this really is a cause&effect, I kindly ask the experts to share their knowledge with us here and then add the respective authorized info to:

I opened up a centralized dedicated thread for the .SUB handling issue:
