Hello there,

as said in the title, I've got a little problem concerning the cdvd plugin. Besides that, the emulator seems to be configured correctly, because I have no problems in booting the bios with the CD/DVDnull plugin and doing some settings there. But when I use P.E.Op.S. plugin, no matter whether a PS2-DVD is inserted or not, the emu crashes (but is still visible in the task manager), and about 10 seconds later windows hangs. Only a hard reset helps then. The really strange thing, however, is that the bios is loading properly when a normal non-PSX CD is inserted.
My settings for the plugin can be seen here:

I also tried a few other settings, for example for the caching mode, but it had no effect.


Anyway, I'm thankful for every answer. And please forgive me if I made some writing mistakes, though I would be glad if you could correct them (I'm a german student, you know..).


Oh yes, my system:
Windows 2000 with SP4
Athlon XP 2400+
MSI KT3 Ultra 2 (KT333 Mainboard)
1GB DDR-RAM
Radeon 9800 Pro
and, probably most important, a SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SM-352B (CD/DVD combo drive)

Do you have Force ASPI installed?? I had the same Problem back with ePSXe crashing without thant installed.

Give it a try, maybe it works.

And is it working with an Image of the Game??

Change the interface and see if it works then

You mean ForceASPI 1.7 and 1.8 respectively? Didn't work for me, sry

I didn't try to make an image yet, because my free diskspace is low. But perhaps I'll try it with a game which isn't very large.
Could you advise me a program I should use for that?

Change the interface and see if it works then

I tried this too, but the problem is the same

 

[KrazyKenny]

I would suggest Alcohol 120% for it... but, it like one of my images, i could take up to 4,5Gigs

I get a smiller error but doesnt make mine crash all mine does read the drive for about mins the pcsx2 comes up with error saying it carnt read the plugin and takes me back to the main window

 

[ka87]

i have same problem too

I had the same problem but ForceASPI 1.7 fixed it. In the config you have to set "W9X/ME - ASPI scsi commands"

Try the latest P.E.Op.S. PS2 CDVD plugin v1.2

 

[lightchris]

Try the latest P.E.Op.S. PS2 CDVD plugin v1.2

I tried both versions, 1.1 and 1.2, but none of them worked.

And I made an image of game and ran it with CDVDbin driver. It started without any problems. So I suggest it must have to do something with my drive/ASPI drivers/whatever.

 

[Iceydamo]

trying the new plugin didnt help ither
do u think deamon tools will effect it?

dude probably the problem is with your dvd-rom. make sure your dvd-rom can read the disc cause i used to have a samsung dvd-rom but it never read my dvd discs properly. then i got a brand new samsung dvd-rom but after like 3-4 months, it's dvd reading capability died on me. so i guess its your samsung dvd-rom

Though my DVD drive reads DVDs, I'm not sure if it reads everything correctly or if there may be another problem with it. Unfortunately I have no other drive here to test if the Samsung is the problem.

And as I said, the strange thing is that the emu (and windows!) crashes even when no DVD is inserted. What may that mean?

I was experiencing the same things when i was using the peops cdvd,adaptec's aspi and had selected the Win2k/XP option.Then i switched to the Win9x option and everything went smooth

I tried tht but still no got pcsx2 still comes up and says "error can not read cd\dvd plugin" i know my drive does read ps 2 games cause i got pretty far with the emu with the previous version but i have formated my computer since then so i dont know where the problem resides.

Well, now I think there really is a problem concerning my DVD drive. As I wanted to make an image of my Virtua Fighter 4 DVD using Alcohol 52% (the demo version), my system reacted similar to what happens when I try to start the emu with P.E.Op.S.' plugin: The image was not made, and when I tried to abort the operation the program crashed and my drive wasn't able to eject the DVD anymore until I reset windows.
That is, however, not with every DVD..

Same Problem here

I also tried the plugin this morning and the emu crashed. I had to reset my PC to stop the pcsx2-process. I have an Aopen(16x) DVD drive. If you ask me, the problem has nothing to do with the type of my drive, age or which firm it is from. I could probably use any DVD-drive and get the same result every-time. While using PCSX2 Draft Driver 0.64 everything was just fine. Problems first appeared when i tested pcsx2 with the new peops 1.2 dvd plugin, seems to me as if it is not fully compatible or contains an annoying bug.

Must be a bug with v1.2 you can download 1.1 from ngemu (i guess)

Good to know Could you link this Draft Driver?

btw, I've got the same problem with v1.1. So either my problem is another than yours, or the problem occurs with both versions.
