Cutscenes not playing in Aeon Flux videogame [SOLVED]

[conatcha]

Hi!
I'm using PCSX2 for a while and I think it worked pretty well in my computer (I have an Intel Core i7).
Recently I bought an original copy of the "Aeon Flux" videogame and it plays well in PCSX2, except for one thing: the cutscenes are not playing (they are just skipped). I borrowed a PS2 from a friend and tried the game in it, and it did play the cutscenes correctly.
Does anyone have the same problem? Meanwhile, I'll try to mess a little with PCSX2 configuration.

Thanx a lot.

Verify the gamefix hacks (Config -> Emulation settings -> Game fixes) and make sure the "Skip MPEG hack" is not ticked, besides that look if you don't have a pnach for that game with the same effect enabled.

Another possibility is running directly from the DVD and it is not reading the channel, not sure about that last at all, just a wild guess.

If none the above, please help us to help you by supplying useful information about the emu/plugins configuration and more complete machine specs.

Thanx for your quick answer!
Well, the fact is that... I can't find that "Skip MPEG Hack" anywhere in PCSX2. In the Gamefixes section I only see "FPU Compare Hack" and "VU Add / Sub Hack". That was the section you were describing, right?

On the other hand, I'm trying to play the game reading the original disc from the DVD drive in the computer. I mean, I'm not using an ISO image or something, if that's what you meant.

Thanx a lot again fo your help.

hmm, that option may have be introduced on the SVN and since the HD crash I don't have the official beta already installed (need to do it for testing purposes...) to verify, anyway if it's not there it's not the problem.

But you really should make an ISO image of the disk, it is much faster this way. I found the free "Daemon tools" version do it nicely, or use any image creator of choice.

PS: the forum is against piracy and warez, nothing against backing up a game you own.

Actually, I had already tried to run the game using an ISO image that I made from the original copy of the game (that was the 1st thing I did as soon I got the game, I knew that it's much faster to play from the HD ). But I got the same results: no cutscenes. So I kept playing the game from the original disc while I'm trying to find out the solution, to make sure that the problem wasn't because I made a wrong ISO. Then, I borrowed a real PS2 from a friend, to see how was it to play the game on it, and I was able to see the cutscenes without any problems.

BTW, I also made sure that wasn't any patch on. It seems there is none for this game.

Well, I guess I'll have to wait to the next version of the emulator.
Thanx a lot, Ken.
Of course I'll be here if you want me to give any information that could be useful for the emulator developing.

Thanx a lot Shadow Lady for suggesting me to try the beta. I usually prefer to wait to the next stable version but fortunately I followed your suggestion.
