    Hi guys

    so i know this subject has been touched on as i've been reading them but none of the given solutions seem to work, i've tried them all, the game in hand is GTA:London 1969. I downloaded this from pirate bay, i cant burn it onto a disk so i ran it an an iso, the game plays perfectly but has no music what so ever, so then i started lookin around the forums. Guys have mentioned mooby, tried it, alcohol120%, tried it, daemon tools, tried. Nothing works, I'm really confused as to why?

    does any one have any ideas? I'll greatly appreciate it

    other games which have the problem

    1.GTA 1
    2.driver 1
    3. driver 2


    "note" that any games i've downloaded here has worked fine but the points system has forced me to go to torrents till i have enough points:(

    Have you configure the sound yet ?
    Try using the Eternal SPU Plugin 1.41 for sound.

    Try to use ePSXe 1.7.0 and Eternal SPU Plugin Lite 1.41 for the sound plugin on default settings.

    Sound always works for all of my games.

    Try playing it from CDROM.
    Set the Cdrom plugin to Mooby2, and tinker with the settings.

    Use the Virtual Disc software(Daemon, Alchohol, etc.)
    Set the Cdrom plugin to Mooby2, and run it from CDROM.
    Try tinker with the Cdrom plugin a bit until you managed to hear the background sound.

    If it still not working,
    Try burn it to CD's instead, and see if it is working or not.

    Maybe the CD-XA tracks where not rip't of the original disc

    You need to find some copy that maybe have iso + sub / cue

    Some images dont rip these tracks of the original format disc , this means the images dont have the tracks within to play.

    GTA was one that had these tracks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_1_games_with_CD_audio_tracks

    Games like ridge racer also has it, but some images contain the tracks, and some dont.

    To know, download games with the bigest file size, then they must have CD-XA tracks incuded.

    May are may not have the cd-xa tracks, but I have not downloaded.

    I can't get my burnt psx game to play music...so from what you are saying its possible that tracks are not with my iso...aren't they supposed to be in the Iso itself...the game I'm talking about is Castlevania Chronicles(psx) ... I had it in eboot but converted it to iso( it also came with a ccd file once converted back to psx image).... I'm pretty sure that the music is in the iso, because the file is over 500mb and the game is only 2d... Thanks in advance for help... I'd appreciate it gentleman
