nope have tried on many occasions with many different versions inc. my own PAL dics ripped with CloneCD as suggested by Schtruck and i get all the .img/.sub/.cue/.ccd files and still the same results... think its due to the CDDA emulation.. dont think its quite complete yet... eg. i get music on my wipeout games now but its distorted and crackerely.
laters.
