    ...did you configure it so that epsxe reads the fake cd drive?

    After you change it in the settings, close it off, then check so it's set to read the fake cd drive's letter.


    Also, in that epsxe, you could also try to have read the mds/mdf file thru it (read iso option) and that may also work...


    I use fake drives for some games, but other's I use epsxe straight-see how you go there :)

    You were right to try 1.7.0, since it supports MDS/MDF files and you won't need to Mount your image to a virtual CD Drive to play.

    But what graphics plugin are you using and what video card does your PC have? Many times hanging on the Intro is due to an incompatible graphics plugin configuration. Tweaking/changing it usually helps.

    yes i configuered it to run the cd rom from the fake drive in the epsxe and iv tryed to run both the .mdf and .mds files right from the epsxe useing run iso command and the only one that plays is the small file the .mds and its still just the intro it will not run the .mdf file my G card is a ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO

    these are all the plugins i downloaded
    there are 3 folders here named cdrpeops104 cdrpeops.dll in this folder. gpupeopsopengl178 just some readme .txt in this one. spupeopsdsound109 spupeopsdsound.dll in this one. and these are the plugins: gpu.dat gpupeopsopengl.dll gpupeopssoft.dll gpupeted3d.dll gpupetedx6d3d.dll gpupeteopengl.dll and some .txt readme files and stuff

    ok so i was useing the P.E.Op.S. OpenGL Driver 1.78 most of this time and i tryed to change and use the others and i still get the same black screen others are P.E.Op.S. Soft Driver 1.18, Pete's D3D Driver 1.77, Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.77, and the Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.77 maybe im doing something wrong but i tred useing the mounting fake cd thing again with each one and runing the iso right from the emulater and still get black screen. not sure if it matters tho but when i mount the .mds
    file to a fake cd soon as i mount it my music thing pops up and plays the game music like its a cd <.<

    Download the Plugin Pack from the link in my signature. It has more up to date versions of the graphics plugins.

    ok well i tryed some of the others i just replaced the plugin folder with the one it made after downloading the plugins from your link and when i click on config video it says: This application has failed to start because WNASPI32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem but when i click ok it just brings up the plugin config and i can choose dif plugins anyways. i tryed some of them and it still just does same thing some dont even work at all so im at a lossssss have you tryed this game your self? maybe i can download settings or step by step change them i dont know :(
