Wipeout 2097 PSX No Sound

Charco

For some reason there is no music in Wipeout 2097 on the lr-pcsx-rearmed core. I've had a search online and see that this issue crops up on multiple emulators. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this as the soundtrack is one of the highlights of this game. I have the game in bin + cue format on RetroPie 3.7.

Try launching from the cue and not the bin, since it's in charge of the soundtrack.

You need to make sure your audio files are merged in your .bin and the cue file points to all the right tracks.

@wetriner Yeah I am launching from the cue file as I have all my bin files hidden after editing my es_systems.cfg. @Floob how do I check the files inside the bin file?

Below is what my CUE file looks like. I only have one BIN file that the CUE file points to, which means all of the audio tracks are contained within that one BIN. The CUE file tells the emulator where to look to start a track. "Track 01" is the game data, whereas the other tracks are the music. This is for Wipeout XL (the North American name for Wipeout 2097). If you have your BIN named differently, you'll need to name it accordingly in the CUE file.
