Hey, I am a new member here (as you can probably tell) and I have been keeping my eye on the emulation scene for quite a while now. I have been having a great time emulating my games, and I have learned quite a bit about ePSXe and getting games to work, but Monster Rancher 2 just won't work!! Sorry if I'm confusing you, it works fine; it's when I switch discs. ePSXe reads the disc fine along with the second disc, but when i return the original disc it cannot read it! How can I get this to work?

One more thing about this game, how do I make an ISO? I tried using ISOBuster and CDRwin, but both of them freeze up at about 20% or say there is a bunch of sectors it cant read! should i say to fill with zeros, or ignore, or what? Thanx sooo much for your help!!

BTW, I love Emuforums.com and NGEmu!! I hope it stays up!

Gerbil: You have been able to succesfully create your own monsters at the shrine? Cause i tried waiting, it still doesnt seem to work. Are you just switching cds, or are you pushing ESC and using the ePSXe option to switch the discs??

Hey, thanx for everyone's help!! I finally got it working. I didnt have to turn off mask bit, i just let the cds sit for about 10 seconds, thanx for the advice Gerbilcannon!!

For some reason, I STILL cant get that ISO to be made! Should I make an image or extract the files (in ISOBuster)? What should I extract/make an image of? I really appreciate the help!
