Atarifever Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Okay, I just got a Sega CD and I had no idea until today that the CDs worked in a CD player. Does this work for any other systems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 a lot of saturn games have redbook audio (aka playable audio tracks for any cd player) but most playstation games do not. the only ones i can think of are lunar (one redbook track) and ridge racer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy-sixer Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 My Playstation N2O game works in a cd player. You can listen to music by The Crystal Method. I don't know of other PS games that do the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that most of the early PlayStation games use CD audio. Digital audio compression wasn't really widely used until MP3 made it popular, which was a smidgeon after the PlayStation's original launch, if I'm remembering my history correctly.

Atarinvader Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Each Shenmue disc has a different recording on it from four of the characters in the game. The first is Ryo, but I can't remember the rest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) There are LOTS of PS1 games that play music when used in a CD player. A few I have: Iron Soldier 3 WipeOut XL WipeOut 3 Forsaken Saltwater Sportfishing Fox Sports Golf 99 Hexen DarkStone & many others I'm sure. CastleVania: SOTN has a short vocal track followed by an original music piece. Jaguar CD ROMS: Hover Strike: UL Primal Rage Iron Soldier 2 among others I assume...didnt check all mine!

Flojomojo Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I believe the TurboCDs will verbally scold you if you try to play them in an audio player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I believe the TurboCDs will verbally scold you if you try to play them in an audio player. 846139[/snapback] Yes. Good reason for that, actually. NEc spec'ed track 1 to tell you that it's not an audio CD and shouldn't be played in a CD player, because CD players back then didn't know what a data track looked like. And computer data plays as REALLY loud noise on a CD player, likely damaging your speakers. Most CD players now mute when they hit a data track. Track 2 is the game. Tracks 3+ are the music and cutscene tracks, in standard redbook audio. Interestingly enough, this non-standard layout makes them more difficult to pirate, as Windows dislikes the idea of data on track 2, and throws error messages at you when you insert such disks. (Standards-compliant mixed mode disks are either data on track 1, or multi-session disk, which is essentially like 2 disks on one CD. CD players only see the redbook session) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
