earthworm jim 2 on espxe, no music?

[jayno20]

for some reason this rom plays perfectly except for the music, the sound effects are there, but there is no music that plays on the stages... i tried running the game as an.iso, or mounting it using daemon tools and running it as a cd rom, am i dong something wrong?

Do you have XA sound enabled? If the game had it's music as normal CDDA tracks, you won't get music when there no info about the audio tracks in a CUE files.

 

In short, if the image is an ISO file and there weren't any audio files accompanying that image, you won't get music. IF there are audio files, but they are not properly commented in the CUE file, you won't get music.

how do i go about checking if any of that is true or not?

[jayno20]

well when i mounted the iso using daemon tools the music started playing for the stages, so i knwo the music is there.. its just not playing on the emulator

Well, if all else fails, use PSXEven instead. Check that you have all but the last option enabled in Config --> Sound.

yes i tried psxeven too, same situation, and all but the last option are checked... im not sure what the deal is, any other idea's?

Frankly speaking, I'm stumped. Then again, I've never played Earthworm Jim 2 on the PSX, only on 16-bit consoles and PC.

yeah it doesnt make sense to me either, the music is there its just not playing... first playstation rom i've ever had problems with, anyone have any ideas?

i grabbed earthwaorm jim 2 for psx a while back when i had my psx modded, it didn't play any music either during the game.

Well, pSX 1.4 has just been released (see the news forum), perhaps you could try it.
