Apparently, I am unable to enable the SPU IRQ hack with ePSXe. I checked the option to enable it, but the sound was still messed up in Metal Gear Solid. I restarted the emulator, and the SPU IRQ hack option was disabled again. Can someone explain why this is? The SPU IRQ hack works fine with PSXEven, but unless I'm missing something I can't use my gamepad with PSXEven. So, can anyone either tell me why the sound hack doesn't work with ePSXe, or how to use gamepads with PSXEven?

Are you using The SPU IRQ Hack in the ePSXe options menu? or are you using the SPU IRQ functions in either PEOPs SPU or Eternal SPU? We advise you to use the option in the SPU plugins

as for gamepads in psxeven - you can download pad plugins (here in ngemu) that allow you to use gamepads. I think.

I have tried with the sound hack enabled with both Eternal SPU 1.41 and P.E.Op.S. 1.7. I'm pretty sure the reason the sound isn't working is because I can't enable it from the ePSXe menu.

Actually no

The SPU IRQ Hack in ePSXe is only meant for use with the core ePSXe SPU only. If you enable it with any other SPU plugins it can cause some serious sound problems

All right, I tried the SPU hack with PEOpS 1.9 and it worked, so I guess there was a problem with the earlier plugins. I still don't understand why I can't enable it from the ePSXe menu, though.

One more question, is it possible to use the pad plugins with ePSXe? I tried the NRage plugin with PSXEven and it worked a lot better than the default one for ePSXe, but I don't see an option to use different pad plugins with ePSXe.

You cannot use PAD plugins with ePSXe.

Whaddaya mean you cant use pad plugins with epsxe???

You can use them, I think that one of them is called dr.hell's pad plugin.
But I think that you need EpsxeCutor to manage pad plugins.


btw, gaopjlll, have you tried using the -forcespu command line?

he meant exactly what he said: you can't use pad plugins with ePSXe. it was supposed to be added to 1.6.0 but that data was lost. so as it stands, ePSXe does not support pad plugins.
