Well, my TEAC 532S (SCSI-CDROM) and my PIONEER 305 (SCSI-DVD) are working for some reasons

Ahem... still I have to advise (even with supported drives) to use M3S/SBI files in my plugin, since the direct reading modes are not very optimized (yet)

 

I have a Pioneer DVD-106S and it read FF9 ita without any patch, so... !!!!!!!! Thanks ePSXe team and Pete!!!!!!

LG 8240b, when using clone cd it reads subchannel data slow though other than that it works fine

 

I have same cd rom as Pete,but IDE version,works fine.Also at work my Sony 52x works fine

 

I can tell you a DVD drive that does NOT read subchannel data. I have a Creative 8x, DVD8400E, drive and it doesn't support reading of subchannel data, at least that's what clonecd says...

 

Here are some NOT compatable list:

Compaq Liton CD-4848
Philips CDD4801 CD-RW
Philips CDD4851 CD-RW

Although the 4851 says it isn't compatable, when i try extracting the sub-channel from FFIX_Disc1 I do get a 28MB sub file.

 

My Hitachi DVD-ROM GD2500 works quite well with FF9 on the interal epsxe driver but not with petes driver (doesn't read at all). Stupid drive. Good work pete and the epsxe crew.

 

I have an LG DRD8160B DVD ROM drive and that worked fine with FF6.

 

Creative 52x CD-ROM running and working sir emu author ^^

 

Best choice:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

the best choice for your subchannel-reading-experiences is "TATAAA": the fine Toshiba SD-M Series (mine is an old 1302).

Hear my words: if you want to get rid of that crap your dealer normally invites you to buy from his store, just ask him to get a Toshi. I had many problems with other DVD- and CD-ROM-drives in the PAST!!! Never had any with this - reads everything fast enough and is worth its (ok-ok, it sh´dn´t be that expensive...)
money.

The rest is: :spy:

Pretty much all Plextor CD-Writers and CD-ROMs have no trouble reading sub channel data.

 

Works with Asus 50x IDE cdrom

 

I'd have to agree with Kungaan. The Toshiba DVD drives are very well made. Quiet, reads most types of CD's well, can read my fairly scratched up CD's, and reads the subchannel data fine for both Pete's and ePSXe's plug-ins.

I have an SD-Mxxx model.

 

I'm using a Sony CRX140E/CH2 (Spressa), no problems. I use the ePSXe internal plugin and Pete's CDROM plugin v1.10. Sony drives r0cK!

 

Samsung CDR/W SW-216B works perfectly and also Mitsui DVD reader MT1316B BDV212B

 

Sony EIDE 50X Cd-rom
Teac 8x8x32x cd-rom seems to work with it..

 

My MTRP(dunno thats what it says on the drive .. ) x52 IDE
Cdrom works fine .. yay pete+epsxe team !

ChrisRay : Nice new avater !

 

how do i find out if my drive reads it?

 

These are my results with FF9 ITA:

With my HP CDWriter 7200 Plus the creation of M3S/SBI file is not possible and also the internal epsxe CD core doesn't work. The CD is not readed (doesn't spin) in both the cases.

With my Yamaha CDR200t cdrecorder: the M3S file is reported as "bad" by Pete plugin. The SBI file is created but doesn't work.
Also the internal epsxe CD core fails to work with the game. In this case the CD is readed.

Excuse for my english but i'm a poor italian boy...

Same here. Also, my CD-RW (LG GCE-8160B) supports reading subchannels.

I'm not surprised that Sony CD-ROm drives can do subchannel reading. They probably inplemented a lot of the firmware the PSX drive uses.

As for my drive, I don't know, as it appears that subchannels are only needed for PAL games, and I live in the NTSC type area.

 

Greetings,

Although I also only play NTSC versions (and I usually make ISO images anyways), both of my drives support sub-channel audio. My drives are as follows:

TDK 12X10X32 VeloCD (but the sumbeetch crashes everytime I overburn)

Creative 12X PC-DVD drive

about the TDK...I can overburn discs, and the discs themselves work np, but the drive locks up after every other one 100% consistantly, even if the overburn is only a MB or two, and Nero always reports a failed burn...very annoying

Sincerely,
TastEPlasma

 

Thanks Blade of Chaos, She's Uryll From Dragon Force for the Sega Saturn.

Grabbed a SS of her with my TV card


Btw;l a creative 32xMX does not work. Lists still comen in... Have yet to test it with other cards.

 

The new Lite-On 40x12x48 supports sub-channel. This burner is faster than my 40x Plextor burner at work and it cost $60 bucks less! Go figure.

 

My LiteOn 40x16x10 (LTR-1610B) works fine, as does my Sony 24x5x DVD Drive (DDU-220E)
