Hi --
First, I'd like to make it clear that I'm not talking about a pirated game here, I'm talking about a backup of a game I legally purchased years ago. The original disc is in pretty poor shape, so I'm attempting to play from an ISO backup. So please, no snippy remarks about how I shouldn't be talking about piracy on this board -- I'm not.
As I can't get ePSXe to run any game from ISO (a problem I posted about in another thread), I've burned the ISO to a CD. However, the CD won't run; when I attempt to run it I get a black screen and nothing else.
I burned using Linux cdrecord, and have made two attempts.
The first:
This burn would not run, and I couldn't even get an md5sum from /dev/hdc afterwards (md5sum gives a read/write error).
I reasoned that maybe the problem was my leaving the -dao flag off, so I tried a second burn:
Same result, except now I can get an md5sum from the disc -- it just happens to be a radically different one from the one on the .iso.
Anybody have any ideas what's causing the problem? Does epsxe ordinarily support burned discs? In short, is this a problem with the burning process or a problem with epsxe itself, and how do I fix it in either case?
Thanks.
