Arc the Lad Collection Problem

Okay, this is my first time trying a PSX emulator because someone told me that you can get better graphics out of the game usually, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Anyways, I got Arc the Lad I working just fine once, but after I had shut-down and restarted some time later I haven't gotten it working since.

Specs:

SCHP-1001 BIOS
Geforce 3 - Pete's Open GL plugin
SB Live! - Default and Pete's
Using an HD Image instead of CD (which could be my problem, I started out with CD but it always had to rev up the CD whenever an event happened) - Image from CloneCD with Subchannels extracted
All my other specs I'm not bothering to write because I haven't plenty of power

Whenever I try to run the image (only using Pete's Fast and Nice settings, only worked on Fast, I'd prefer to run on Nice though:) I get to the second screen (past the white sony screen to the black screen after) and it looks up when trying to transition into the game. Can anyone help?

Works... but only off the CD

Thanks for the help! It works off the CD now, but I can't get it to work off of my HD image, and CloneCD is the only program I know how to make PSX images with. Is there anything that might work besides a CloneCD image simply because ePSXe isn't working with a CloneCD image?

Doesn't work that well

Well i loaded up all three games today and i can get into 1 and 2 no problem. The only problem i have is with the video, here's a screenshot.

Now the other problem is on Arc 3 i have a problem where the title screen flashes like crazy. If i set the off screen drawing to 2 then it goes away but so does the background.

I'm using the exact config that Recca is using.

Any ideas?

as for iso not working, I am really happy using daemon tools to emulate a cdrom. it recognises the clonecd .ccd file. if you attempt to use daemon tools to load your clone cd iso, and it says invalid image, use clonecd again and this time do not read subchannel
