Tomb Raider I - Will Not Work!

[Finbaloid]

The Good old days of Tomb Raider I. Bad Graphics but the gameplay was orgasmic and with the Custom F/w it was one of the First game i tried with Pops. And.... It Failed...:sad:
Well Sort of.
Loading up its fine.
Menu screen and....No Music!
Ok, No problem, Click new game and Blank...
The Disappointment ran through me like a snake in the grass....

I have tried many times but all have failed but i noticed when ripping the ISO there are two separate tracks, one named data, the other audio. I always use "ISO Producer" if that means anything to anyone but it seems to work!

I guess this is a cry for help, but don't have sleepless nights if you can't help, its no biggie.

I would suggest using ISOBuster for your ISO ripping/creation, it works like a charm with CDDA audio, which is sounds like that has.

Thanks Cheezeball99, Downloaded and trying now!

Ok, The program rips the .iso and the Audio tracks separately, how do you get them to rip altogether as one ISO?

[Cheezeball99]

Right click on 'Session 1', pick 'Extract Session 1 <Content> and pick either 'Extract User Data' or 'Extract RAW Data', can't remember which one exactly, sorry, and then save as an .iso, there ya go.:smile:

Thanks Cheezeball99 =]

ill give you rep or whatever :lol:

You need to rip the data as raw so that it includes the CDDA tracks in the rip. Then you need to convert it with a version of popstation new enough to support CDDA rips (1.24 or newer). I used TR1 to get the TOC conversion worked out on my popsx.py script for linux. You NEED the CDDA tracks for TR1 (and a bunch of other games) to work correctly.

By God Chilly Willy you are a genius!
It Works Perfect!
Thank you for all the advice people :smile:
And if it is THE Chilly Willy on the credits for Popstation then it is an honor to speak with such a man.

If you read the MaxConsole Popstation CDDA thread, me and several others worked on the CDDA quite a bit. The Windows folks mostly used Clone CD, and I worked from CDRDAO and CDREAD in linux, but the info on CDDA in pops games was still the same - just different methods of getting the raw data.

Yeah i found CloneCD was best, rather than IsoBuster. I Can't Believe how such a thing would effect the game aswell.
