Freezing Crash Team Racing on ePSXe 1.7.0

Title sums up the problem.Specific issue: After starting a new game, choosing character, and inputting name, Aku Aku springs up and starts talking but freezes after that.Using ePSXe 1.7.0 with the following plugins: Video Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.76 (Fullscreen mode, 32bit, FPS limit 60.0), Sound Eternal SPU Plugin Lite 1.41 (DirectSound, 64 buffer size, wait for XA buffer is free, SPU IRQ-Wait CPU action, SPU IRQ-Force interruption flag7), Cdrom Mooby2 cd disk image driver 2.8 (Play one CDDA track and stop, enable subchannel data, use new caching, CDDA volume max)
Comp is a new Dell Studio 1558 Intel i3 quad core @2.13GHzTried running the game as an ISO and as a CDrom (both mounted and unmounted with Daemon Tools Lite). Have messed with settings with no luck.Files are: Crash Team Racing .bin and .cue from this site.What settings are people using to get this game to work?

Try using Pete's OpenGL2 Driver for the graphic plugins.

OpenGL2 gave me some errors, so I tried OpenGL and I still have the same problems :/

Try using a different emulator. I'd personally suggest pSX as an alternate emulator. I use it for a few games with graphical or core issues that couldn't be handled properly by ePSXe. If the problem still persists, you probably need to re-download CTR.Emulator-zone.com
