NBA Showtime/NBA Hoopz! Why I do not hear commentator voice? CDDA function? - Ro Magnus Larsson - 06.01.2021 12:07
Hi: I am a NBA games fan, and all works good but in these two I noticed some time ago that the commentator voice does not hear in the games playing in Dreamshell. In my Raspberry Pi3 with emulator Reicast I can hear loudly commentator voice. Is some DS update that make all the sounds work? Or simply CDDA preset configuration?

If it's not music it's probably due to loader and not cdda.
try 0.6.1_gcc_7.1 loader (as loader 3 in @Dragoncity list) else loader 0.7.x_b1, and finally 0.6.11_se if it's not a cdda game.

Finally someone else has noticed. It is a CDDA game. The CDDA is the commentator. I've found a number of configs that get the commentator talking at the matchup screen but then he doesn't stop talking and the game never starts.

The cdda of this game is written in lba, if you modify the file structure, the cdda will not work properly

The IDE hard discs which have LBA are the 160Gb or more, is it anything about it ?

No, if you have the original unmodified gdi attached, the cdda should work normally, if it doesn’t work, you may need to wait for the ISO Loader to update.

So you suggest to play a GDI with the bin files (not optimized)?
RE: NBA Showtime/NBA Hoopz! Why I do not hear commentator voice? CDDA function? - kof888 - 10.01.2021 16:23
I’m not sure if the optimized mirror will change LBA, so I’m not sure

optimization does not change LBA, it removes unused 16 sync bytes and 288 bytes error correction (ECC/EDC)

Thanks for the reply, that's too simple
RE: NBA Showtime/NBA Hoopz! Why I do not hear commentator voice? CDDA function? - Ro Magnus Larsson - 03.04.2021 07:09
It is something about IDE HDDs ? I have IDEs and detected that some games like MSR or Resident Evil 2 does not work in IDE 80Gb (LBA 28+) but work in a more LBA HDD like a 160Gb one (LBA32+) . Any way in that cases DREAMSHELL show the message "ide LBA don't supported" but in NBA games does not show it

After trying in the two different file formats GDI not Opt/GDI Opt I can confirm that NBA Hoopz/Showtime's CDDA does not work
RE: NBA Showtime/NBA Hoopz! Why I do not hear commentator voice? CDDA function? - pcwzrd13 - 04.02.2024 06:40
This is fixed in the new DreamShell 4.0 release.

I tried to run NBA Hoopz (NA, Rev 2) and NBA Showtime - NBA on NBC (NA, Rev 1.003) in the lastest Dreamshell 4.0.
It is possible to run NBA Showtime - NBA on NBC (NA, Rev 1.003) with CDDA(it is possible to hear commentator voice),But It is totally not able to run NBA Hoopz (NA, Rev 2) with or without CDDA emulation.

Thanks for report. I see NBA Hoopz tried to read a full sector:

Try unoptimized image with .bin tracks.
Thank you very much for reply!
I tried unoptimized image(bin+raw) of NBA Hoopz (NA, Rev 2)
and It is able to run it in the DreamShell 4.0 release.
(DMA none, 0x8c001100,enable IRQ handling,CDDA,heap behind the loader,SQ,PIO,TMU2,Fixed)
But It freezed within 10 min at the longest during basketball match or freezed as soon as beginning of basketball match.
I changed address to 0x8c000100,0x8c004000,0x8c004800,0x8cfe8000,0x8cfe0000
and tried TMU1,Fixed or TMU2,adaptive,TMU1,adaptive, But it is not able to play NBA Hoopz (NA, Rev 2) without freezing.

Looks like this game used software CDDA himself. It's trying to read RAW CDDA tracks as data to playback by software.
Need add support of reading audio tracks as data for the loader. It seems that now it only works due to an error in the file system. And this apparently doesn't work very well.

Thank you very much for reply.
It seems that it need to find infallible way to convert raw cdda track to data format by loader.
I think that this problem eventually will be solved like other problems which You have solved nicely.
