=================================================
About the PS1 CUE support for games with AUDIO tracks:

1) mM processes the .CUE file and stores the ATAPI 0x43 response in LV2 memory at 0x7FF000. For example the NFS:Porsche Unleashed:

Code:

HEADER: 00 82 01 0F
===================
TRK#01: 00 14 01 00 00 00 00 00
TRK#02: 00 10 02 00 00 02 0C 92
TRK#03: 00 10 03 00 00 02 2D 7C
TRK#04: 00 10 04 00 00 02 53 2D
TRK#05: 00 10 05 00 00 02 7D 30
TRK#06: 00 10 06 00 00 02 A0 C7
TRK#07: 00 10 07 00 00 02 C8 32
TRK#08: 00 10 08 00 00 02 F1 A2
TRK#09: 00 10 09 00 00 03 1A 4D
TRK#0A: 00 10 0A 00 00 03 43 AF
TRK#0B: 00 10 0B 00 00 03 70 17
TRK#0C: 00 10 0C 00 00 03 9C D1
TRK#0D: 00 10 0D 00 00 03 C8 48
TRK#0E: 00 10 0E 00 00 03 F2 04
TRK#0F: 00 10 0F 00 00 04 1F 22
TRK#10: 00 10 AA 00 00 04 43 88
===================

The LBA boundary after the last track is calculated using the size of the BIN and the sector size, so the CUE directive REM LEAD-OUT MM:SS:FF is not necessary.

It supports both CUE information with PREGAP included or not and FILE directive is ignored, so don't bother to manually edit your CUE files. For example here are two different variants of a CUE file for NFS, which produce the same binary payload for the ATAPI response:

Without PREGAP directive:

Code:

FILE "Need for Speed Porsche.BIN" BINARY

    INDEX 01 00:00:00

    INDEX 00 59:59:39
    INDEX 01 60:01:39

2) Adds syscall37 to handle copying of the response from lv2 memory to the ps1_emu:

Code:

mflr      r0                //    7C 08 02 A6
std       r31, 0xA8(r1)        //    FB E1 00 A8
std       r0, 0xC0(r1)        //    F8 01 00 C0

li        r31, 1            //    3B E0 00 01
sldi      r31, r31, 63        //    7B FF F8 06
oris      r31, r31, 0x7F    //    67 FF 00 7F
ori       r31, r31, 0xF000    //    63 FF F0 00

ld        r3, 0(r31)        //    E8 7F 00 00 //copy the binary CUE info
std       r3, 0(r7)         //    F8 67 00 00 //to the receiving buffer of ps1_emu
...
ld        r3, 0x80(r31)        //    E8 7F 00 80 //for as many tracks as needed
std       r3, 0x80(r7)         //    F8 67 00 80 //no loop used so only 1 register needed (r31)

li        r3, 0                //    38 60 00 00
ld        r0, 0xC0(r1)        //    E8 01 00 C0
ld        r31, 0xA8(r1)        //    EB E1 00 A8
mtlr      r0                //    7C 08 03 A6
addi      r1, r1, 0xB0        //    38 21 00 B0
blr                            //    4E 80 00 20

3) In the patched ps1_emu.self the extended ATAPI 0x43 request is redirected to syscall37 and proper track information is returned (this version of the patched ps1 emulator is not compatible with Iris).

mM will accept ISO/BIN/MDF/IMG files with or without an accompanying CUE file. In case of no cue - mM will create a 'data-track-only' payload. For best compatibility always use CUE files with your images.

This is still a dirty way of enhancing the compatibility, but will do for now. Probably Estwald with come up with a much better solution very soon, because this one is limited to the ps1_emu.self only and multidisc games with audio tracks may have issues with the in-game CDA playback when switching to disc 2/3/4.

=================================================

I'll appreciate any reports of games which had issues and now are fixed.

Tested already: NFS:Porsche, NFS4, Wipeout 3, GTA:London - all work with in-game CDA audio.

Ok I recently just bought A new lens and it works fine. But when ripping uncharted 3 and just a bit ago bayonetta it freezes completly and won't rip anymore. Also i ripped black ops 2 and that went fine. the uncharted 3 get's to about 18gb's in and just won't go any farther and the bayonetta is much smaller than bo2. also in uncharted 3 while playing the game i had to so much as take my saved game and play throught the messed up parts of the game and bring the save back to my console to finish the game. now would you guys say that it's my lens as it seems that way. or do u think it could be just the games themselves as uncharted 3 is an older disk as well as bayonetta. the black ops 2 is much newer.

anyone having trouble ripping uncharted 3 and bayonetta? i just ripped black ops 2 fine. i also just installed a new lens. and was thinking this might be my problem. i even had to take uncharted 3 to a friends house and play it on his ps3 to get passed a part in uncharted. after that part was over it worked fine after that. but i couldn't rip the game fully so had to play from disk. it makes it to about 18gb's in on the uncharted rip and the bayonetta i'm not sure how far it makes it as i turn to something else on the tv and let it go. when i get back it just says aborted. and i know i didn't manuel abort. I'm sure it's my "new" lens but i'm really hoping it's MM. lol..sorry dean.

Not nagging. Iris updated to use netemu as default/recommended just today. I've been working/testing this with Dean for a week now. Dean and Hermes both need people with very different psx game collections to beta test this stuff. This is how it gets better every release, making suggestions and pointing out the benefits of using different emulation methods is not nagging.

@jerrymh that just might be how the game looks. if anything, push the ps button and make sure it is activated.
the n64 had native filtering which is why their games looked kinda nicer than ps's, but they also were kinda blurry, too. i feel like the smoothing done by the ps3 is a lil better cause it doesn't seem to really blur it, but almost fine tune it.

N64 had antialiasing, PS1 did not. PS1 had CD storage, N64 did not. This is why games would look blurry on the N64. Developers were limited by the storage space for games, so you would see low res textures with antialiasing.

Forgive a stupid question but how does GTA London work? How do you do the disc swap with bin cues and isos?

I was reading the README above, and I was getting excited with every piece of news, until I reached the following part:

3) In the patched ps1_emu.self the extended ATAPI 0x43 request is redirected to syscall37 and proper track information is returned (this version of the patched ps1 emulator is not compatible with Iris).

Then I was sadden with tears!

But nevertheless, good job there Deank! Hopefully the Iris dev, is paying attention to your CUE file solution.

The only reasons why I like IRIS over mM for PSX games:
- I love the way it runs the new CHEAT feature in IRIS.
- I like that Iris only sees one BIN file per game (for multiple ISO game). It's a bit cleaner no game cover dupes and etc.
- And I find the mM's Retro folder to be a bit cumbersome, by having to rescan it if we make changes to the PSX folders or add more and etc. And then have to toggle slowly to reach the PSX library (category). -- especially if we have lots of ROMs for other Retro Emulators for that section.
@deank, perhaps if you could find time to revamp the PSX display in mM? Might improve this?

But I still use mM for everything else! Hands down, still the best game manager for the PS3.

we differ then. if we were married, i would have divorced you about a week ago constantly saying the same thing...not posting much besides what would make you have a better time.

Iris Manager v1.60 Beta2 play PSX ISOs "Multi-Tracks" (like multiMAN does), with "ps1_emu" or "ps1_netemu" (recomended), this time without any patches

I tested and retested a number of very specific, very different PSX ISO formats and games which have been problematic in most PSX emulators to help get the best compatibility for ALL psx games in Multiman and Iris, and now both of them are using my recommendations for netemu.self as the default.

If I wanted your opinion of me, I'd ask for it. Currently, I don't need it. I'm here to help everyone have a better time by helping increase compatibility. I did this for the PSP when I developed the pops loader which Dark Alex later wrote the final PRX plugin for. I don't need you telling what to talk about or not. Ive been coding and testing thus stuff since you were in diapers, son. I'm not here for idle chit chat or to make friends. I'm just interested if helping make this stuff work for everyone.

The Youtube plugin in Showtime is not working for me. I activated my ps3 device for youtube, the list of videos show up, but when I try to open a video I get a 403 error.

Thanks for fixing the audio tracks Deank.

I've found a slightly odd bug in 04.19.02/03, at least I think it's a bug as I can't replicate it in Iris. It affects Need for Speed 4 - High Stakes(SLUS-00826)/Road Challenge(SLES-01788). Basically if the pad is in 'analog' mode and you go into the 'memory card' screen from the options menu, the pad will default back to 'digital' mode, even if you don't actually load or save anything, just the process of the game reading the memory card causes the pad to switch back to 'digital'. You have to switch the pad back to 'analog' every time you have used the memory card screen. I have tried the game in Iris and the pad always remains in 'analog' mode after using the 'memory card' screen. Even if I use Multiman's ps1emu from 04.19.02 in Iris v1.55, the 'analog' mode remains set, so I don't think it's a ps1emu issue.
Thanks.

@Nightbird, have you tried making a save while it's in Analog Mode? So next time you go into the Memory Card screen it understand your default setting for that?

Guys, be sure to report your PSX Game settings in this chart, so we have a better understanding of all the issues involved: http://psx-scene.com/forums/f10/iris...e-list-110430/

Hello Deank,

Just one question, can you please release a FULL version of this?

Or maybe for the next release.

Best Regards and thanks for the AWESOME work!!

Yes, tried that. Make save while in Analog, reload save from memory card screen and the pad is back to Digital. Just the process of entering the memory card screen resets the pad, but only when using Multiman, not Iris. Strange.
