I own this game on PS1, but recently decided to create a BIN/CUE copy of it and load it off my PS3 (running EvilNat 4.90) along with all my other PS1 games (PAL region). I use Multiman as a file manager, but I use Webman Mod to mount and launch the games from the XMB. For the most part they all work OK, except for Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider II (but that is a documented issue due to them having CDDA tracks and it not being particularly compatible).
AitD works well enough, except for the music which seems to run a bit too fast (not really high pitched I don't think, just too fast, it's weird). All other sounds (like voices and effects) seem to play fine. I tried switching to netemu in case it was an emulator quirk but that seems to be bugged on this CFW, the picture is squished and all the sounds are high pitched and fast but it does with every game I have, not just this one. Only the regular emu works as expected.
I did wonder if maybe it was the fact I was emulating at all so I stuck the game's disc (original, not a copy) in the PS3 and ran it and it does exactly the same thing. I happen to have my PS2 setup next to my PS3 incidentally, so I popped the game in that just to make sure I wasn't misremembering and sure enough, I wasn't; it plays fine in the PS2 and defo faster on the PS3. I had a look on YouTube too. In case you wanted to see what it is supposed to sound like pretty much every video of the game on YT will show you. All you have to do is imagine the music playing in those videos slightly faster than what they are and you'll know what I'm experiencing.
I also thought perhaps my copy of the game was broken or incorrectly formed somehow so I, "obtained" another one from elsewhere (also PAL), but it suffers exactly the same issue, so I gather that it's not the BIN/CUE. Anyone got any ideas or pointers? I mean at the end of the day I'm not that bothered by it, it doesn't make it unplayable it's just makes it sound a bit weird. Anyway thanks for any help.
