I had some dumps of PCE CD games with .ape audio files. Mednafen didn’t play them, so I converted them to .wav and changed the file extension within the cuesheet. The music plays just fine but at the beginning of each track there is a nasty clicking sound which only occurs at the very beginning. Is there a way to get rid of it?
Foobar automatically converted the files with 2 channels, 16 bits per sample and a sample rate of 44100 Hz.
either its a bad cuesheet file, bad audio convertion or a bad audio files to begin with. i use monkey audio to convert ape, and lamexp for anything else audio that is supported.
Well, the clicking sound is not part of the file and the cuesheet looks just fine to me. It only occurs during gameplay.
wrong audio length, bad cue sheet causes issues…
what game is this anyways?
has noticed same issue. I used Lakka for testing.
has tried with Akumajou Dracula X - Chi no Rondo (Japan) with translation patch (dracula 1.01) and yes, clicking sound at beginning of audio-tracks.
image format: cue/bin
bad dumps. wrong cue sheet, wrong track lengths and gaps of individual files(in the case of separate tracks) will give audio issue. use legit verified roms like from redump etc. and convert/translate files from that verified source.
There are no redump-verified isos of those games. Beyond Shadowgate is one of them. I found most of them as bin/cue and will try those out tonight.
