I'd like to have the possibility to run my backup CD copies of PSX games with epsxe, but they don't work.
Why don't you insert in epsxe a virtual MODchip? Or create a patch or a plugin to use non-original CDs?
Thanks.
PS Give a look to http://www.pew.emuita.it/main.htm for epsx plugins!!!
epsxe cant tell the difference between an original and a backup copy. if you cant get it to run backups you are probably doing something wrong. try petes cd plugin
Your not alone.. I sometimes run games off an iso as well, but lately my cd rom drives have been working pretty good so I don't as much anymore.. I need the space for sega cd isos+mp3s.. hehe.. Actually, I have all 4 FF8 disks copied as bin files in my harddrive at the moment.. Haven't had time to burn them onto cd backups yet.. And yes, I do own the original game.. I just lent the game to my brother to play so I burned copies so I could play as well.. A little over 2 gigs in use for those 4 FF8 disks..
Back to the original problem the guy had as to stay on topic here.. Now, test^3... Maybe you can tell us how you burned those copies and lets see if you burned em right.. Or just play off isos like some of us do.. And which games are you trying to play by the way.. Whats your system specs? Configurations of epsxe and its pluggins?

No waiting for CD drive to seek, and much quieter. Of course, you have to have a s**tload of free space if you swap games a lot....
with my new DVD drive I DEFINITELY always run from ISO's, it like to take naps after 30 seconds of inactivity, so its fatst, but only while its actively reading stuff, if its not, it has to start upo again like if you just entered the CD in the drive, for me, ISOS ALL THE WAY
yup, I recently got a dvd drive too, and while it works great, it DOES indeed have slower accessing speeds and stuff...fortunately my second drive is a plextor cdrw so no problemo
and I got a bigger hd as well, for ISO's
