When I play some games with CDDA, the fps drops to 20fps and I can't hear any music. I must make an ISO or play without CD for get correctly speed! Why do this?
Sorry, I've got an LG DVD ROM GDR8164B and a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111D
My PC is very stronge and powerfull!

This almost certainly looks like a specific game (or specific to a few games) problem, stranger90 - if so, it should be reported as linked in the banner above. And you've omitted to post almost all of the required information asked for in the THINGS TO REMEMBER!!! **UPDATED November 5, 2006** thread, which you should have read before posting in the Bug Reports section. No-one can help you if you don't provide necessary information. |

Which CD driver is it using? (look for the message on the console).

Use LG (DRIVE F:) with Ioctl Raw Read

Hmmm - thats probably why then - raw read is a fallback driver. You could try using ASPI...

I have the Adaptec ASPI layer installed on my system, but with my DVD-RW drive pSX always picks raw read. I didn't try setting it to ASPI manually. Just to confirm - I've found that most of my games won't work properly, if at all, with this drive.
Thankfully pSX automatically uses SPTI with my CD-RW drive, so I've just been using that drive with the emulator and everything is working fine.

Adaptec's more recent aspi installations seem to be both problematic and incomplete. I always go with ForceASPI 1.7, which installs the complete ASPI 4.6. Just google for forceaspi.

ForceASPI has never worked for me. I've read in plenty of places that Adaptec's ASPI layer is buggy and/or incompatible with stuff (especially the later versions), and the fact that ForceASPI (which is based on Adaptec's) only proves that point -- to me anyway. Nero's ASPI layer, on the other hand, works perfectly (again, for me anyway). |

But that's the idea, Ultima - the later versions of Adaptec's ASPI _are_ reckoned to be buggy, but 4.6, which ForceASPI installs - properly, unlike Adaptec's own installers - is an older version that seems to be generally reckoned Ok. I know I've never had any problems with it, and I've been using it for a long time.

I tried ForceASPI 1.7 (not 1.8, which uses 4.7.something) immediately before Nero's ASPI layer (just recently too), and it didn't work. Indeed, I installed it properly, restarted, and ASPICHK gave the green light. Still no go in pSX =o
(BTW the error message found the other day was found because I was messing with the ASPI layer)

I find that strange, Ultima; as I said, I've been using ForceASPI 1.7 on many different machines over the years, on a few different Windows OSs, and never had a moment's trouble with it. Always works for me.

Oh well, I guess alternatives exist for a reason  |
