THIS DOESN"T HAVE TO DO WITH EPSXE directly......

Is anyone else having problems with CD reading when trying to copy a cd?

Ever since i installed epsxe its been acting up...:eyes:

When you say reading?? you mean reading general Windows stuff or just PSX stuff??
It shouldnt much up the CD reading at all...

 

[BOB_Man24]

I meant general reading.....when i am trying to copy a regular cd....

but i figured it wasn't a epsxe problem...arg...

not me, but check for scratches on the cd you are trying to copy..... or if you have two cd rom drives, try the other drive to read the cd..... Most likely, you may have a bad cd.....

 

[BOB_Man24]

Yeah but this is weird because i checked the cd its fine....i just used it, but when i tried to copy it, reading failed...so i am gonna assume that its a software problem...

 

[fivefeet8]

what burning software are you using? I use cdrwin...... it does give me that error when it can't read the cd, but it is always a bad cd with me...... your could try a different burning software and see if it has the same error......

 

[BOB_Man24]

well i am using Hp My Cd.....mainly because i was too lazy to get something else...but after this it could be a bye bye...i am trying cdrwin now....we shall see...

 

[chocyman]

Yeah what your doing is probably a good thing...
I had problems when i first got my CDWriter, adn used the 'Freebie' software which came with it. it didnt like PSX games and/or some Audio disks, as i guess they had some copy protection in them perhaps, or bad sectors..i dunno. but all was Ok when I got Something like Nero or CDRWin..they all read in binary I think and so just read 1`s and 0`s rather than trying to make sense of file systems on Cd`s and stuff. This is what normally cocks the reading up.
Anyway...hope it helped..

Yeah...i am sick of My Cd....i've wasted at least 20 cds with it...surprised it took me this long to get angry with it...

Did you by chance use ForceASPI when you installed epsxe to make the aspi-based cdrom plugins work? If so, the aspi layer might be conflicting with your cdrom burning software. (I had problems with ForceASPI messing up one of the CD burning programs I used to use; NTI I think.)

If not, I really can't think of what epsxe would have done to interfere with the cd burning software; it doesn't install any drivers or anything itself, nor does it modify the registry outside its own branch.
