Mednafen psx core bad sectors

Libretro Cores
#1

I’ve started experimenting with PSX emulation via the 2 supplied mednafen cores (0.9.39.2), on latest retroarch (1.3.6, windows). Almost every bin/cue I have starts generating many bad sector errors like:

RetroArch [INFO] :: Environ SET_MESSAGE: Bad sector? - 57904 RetroArch [INFO] :: Environ SET_MESSAGE: Bad sector? - 57905 RetroArch [INFO] :: Environ SET_MESSAGE: Bad sector? - 58595 RetroArch [INFO] :: Environ SET_MESSAGE: Bad sector? - 58739 RetroArch [INFO] :: Environ SET_MESSAGE: Bad sector? - 59205 RetroArch [INFO] :: Environ SET_MESSAGE: Bad sector? - 59400 RetroArch [INFO] :: Environ SET_MESSAGE: Bad sector? - 59527 RetroArch [INFO] :: Environ SET_MESSAGE: Bad sector? - 59528

These are known to work in epsxe I believe though I should probably verify that. I wonder if anyone else has experienced these sorts of issues?

Thanks,

PSX games are authored with bad sectors, IIRC, so this is probably not the reason for the issues. Look for lines that start with: RetroArch [ERROR], which indicates something that’s actually problematic.
