Title sums up the problem. Specific issue: After starting a new game, choosing character, and inputting name, Aku Aku springs up and starts talking but freezes after that. Using ePSXe 1.7.0 with the following plugins: Video Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.76 (Fullscreen mode, 32bit, FPS limit 60.0), Sound Eternal SPU Plugin Lite 1.41 (DirectSound, 64 buffer size, wait for XA buffer is free, SPU IRQ-Wait CPU action, SPU IRQ-Force interruption flag7), Cdrom Mooby2 cd disk image driver 2.8 (Play one CDDA track and stop, enable subchannel data, use new caching, CDDA volume max) Comp is a new Dell Studio 1558 Intel i3 quad core @2.13GHz Tried running the game as an ISO and as a CDrom (both mounted and unmounted with Daemon Tools Lite). Have messed with settings with no luck. Files are: Crash Team Racing .bin and .cue from this site. What settings are people using to get this game to work?
Try using a different emulator. I'd personally suggest pSX as an alternate emulator. I use it for a few games with graphical or core issues that couldn't be handled properly by ePSXe. If the problem still persists, you probably need to re-download CTR. Emulator-zone.com
