PSP NEOcd .5 Magician Lord music issue

[airwolfx]

I have firmware 1.5 PSP with latest version of Neocd emu. I am running Magician Lord with all MP3s and the contents of the ISO in a folder called 'Magician Lord' along with the MP3s in a sub-folder called 'neocd.mp3'.

My problem is this: The game runs great with full speed and with all sound effects, but the intro tunes (all of them) do not play at all. Also the boss level music and even mini-bosses music doesn't play either. The only music that does play is the normal in-level music. It starts when the appropriate level is played and continues to loop during the level, mini-boss level and main boss level, even in the intermissions. Then when the next level comes up, the music finally changes.

I figure this is a music/sound bug. Does anyone know if this bug is present on previous versions of Neocd for PSP? I heard that it might be a tag issue on the mp3 files so I used a program called 'id3kll14' to remove the tags. Also I renamed the mp3s as specified in the readme for the emulator program. But still no fix for this issue.

Anyone got this running correctly for music?
Does anyone have the same issues?
Thanks for any help.

Can anyone test this also and see if this problem is mine and mine only? please? Thank you.

yeap there's bug in sound emulation (not all the "start track" instruction are correctly emulated).
I don't have magician lord, but it should be the same as some other games.

Thanks yoyo. Could the bug be tag related? Or maybe in the encoding of the MP3s? Just a thought......

Thanks alot for all of your hard work. We all appreciate what you have done for our PSPs!

The good news is that it's starting to work for me !
I worked on a patch for this. It's not perfect yet, but you now have the intro music + the boss musics.

Now if only I could understand why I don't have the samples in aero fighter but only the music...

It's not ready for a release anyway, the game hangs on the game over screen for now (with the music continuing). But it's promising!
