Heyho,

so I'm having issues with sounds again - seems like I'm not best friends with it. However, compared to two month ago I was able to at least play VAG and XA files - so I made some progress. Now I wanted to try CD-DA but... I fail and I have no idea why.

I grabbed a .mp3 file and converted it to .wav, making sure it is 44100Hz, 16bit and well... - I can attach a screenshot of it. I placed it on my CD as an Audio track and well... what I heard, sounded more like playing the data track instead of the song I have. (Will attach a video but the sound is terrible!; I didn't - cause I was not sure about increasing the size of my post)

I then moved to "psx\sample\scee\CD\CDPLAYER" in the PSYQ folder, copied the project and made it compile and building a CD. I had the same issue again! The program tells me all the time, that it only found one track, even if I remove my song! I also tried CDGEN and converted the ccs file to CTI - same issue.

Attachments:
I needed to add .txt to my files, otherwise I was not allowed to upload them. The CTI file is from CDGEN and CTI.mine is the one I maded by hand. Both behave kinda the same.

I've found that the CDDA mastering process by CDGEN and BUILDCD don't work for me either and I couldn't ever figure out why. XA was no problem, but I always had issues with CDDA.

What I found that worked in the end was using LameGuy64's MKPSXISO program. If you use this instead, CDDA plays and works perfectly fine

Thank you Shadow! That tool is really awesome

I tried burning the ISO with CDBurnerXP - but sadly this didn't worked out. I hoped to get rid of Alcohol120%. However, still an awesome tool x3

Always test it in an emulator before burning a CD-R (it'll save you time, money and discs).
I highly recommend using XEBRA and NO$PSX to test your programs.

I couldn't agree more! I mostly use NO$PSX - I had issues with XEBRA.... but I forgot what I was >O> I need to double check
