Little tip, use your own Disks to create the ISO file, rather then half baked CloneCD image you downloaded from the internet.So, I just downloaded the emulator, and after reading all these tutorials, I feel I finally got everything set up correctly.
I got the ROM set up that I wanted to play, set up the cdvdrom and the file path. I did File=>Run... the PS2 load screen comes up, and when it completes, the screen goes black and nothing else happens. On the Ps2 Output screen, after about 15-20 seconds, I get the following string, repeating over and over again:
<<<<<<HUNG timeout=0:2:0>>>>>>
PGIF=0010002c STAT=14802000 code=-1(ffffffff)
d1_chcr=70000045 vif1_stat=00000040 gif_stat=00000000
stack_check=76543210|76543210
I'm cdvdrom setup I was using was Linuz Iso CDVD 0.8.0. But after a while i kinda smacked myself, realizing that it's probably for linux only (If I'm wrong, please feel free to tell me). However, the only other ones I can use are CDVDnull (which of course doesn't do anything), P.E.Op.S (which crashes the emulator before I even get to the PS2 intro screen), and Gigaherz's CDVD plugin 0.7.0. Gigaherz's, as far as I can tell, doesn't give me an option to actually choose my ISO file to load, so all I get, when I use it, is a load up into the PS2 bios... And since there's no file/run command available once I get into the bios, I'm really really lost.
So, can anybody tell me how to actually get this thing running? I realize this was kinda long, and I apologize for that, but I could really use some help!!
Edit: So after doing a bit of reading, I came to the conclusion that Gigaherz and EFP are plugins that read from the DVD drive, which I'm not using, since I'm trying to run off ISO's. So I went back to try Linuz again, continuing to have the same problem. The file I'm trying to run is a .IMG file. I used a program to convert it to an ISO file, but when I did, I got an error saying "This is not a PS2 game" and the program crashed immediately after. Currently, I'm still stumped, so any help would be more than welcome.
