Homebrew How to check if i am on Latest PCSX version ?

The image should have at least one 'input track'.
Looks like running the command targeted at the .bin file, results in the issue your experiencing.

You could try to create your own .cue file.

- Create a text file and copy this:

FILE "THPS2.bin" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

- save and rename to THPS2.cue
- run chdman on the .cue file.

Yeah that worked. got a working CHD file from this. Nice, Thanks.

I just gave THPS2 as CHD a try, and it worked OK -- first level was 50-60fps, with some drops to 40 here and there. It was full-speed with frameskip 1, but with frameskip the framerate was too low to enjoy.

Now i get like about 38 +- FPS, with Audio all off wich are about 10FPS better. How did you get up to 60fps ?
I followed this instruction to optimize stuff:

There have been some new changes since that thread was posted. The most important settings I do (that help for most games) are:

- First, make sure you're running 1.8.5+ stable, or a nightly newer than that.
- Video Sync off, Audio Sync on
- Dithering off
- CD Read Method: Async
- 3d slider off

I forget if you said you're using CIA builds -- if you are, I _think_ it's better to uninstall the old CIA before installing the new CIA, but don't quote me on that. If you're using 3dsx, you just have to overwrite the old core with the new one.

Oh Thanks, that actually helped. Its now 50-60FPS.
Big Thanks again.
