Hello All,

Recently I recorded an ISO image using Blindread and want to directly run from ePSXe, but each time I got black screen only. I've tried to write the ISO into CD-ROM and works fine in ePSXe.

I've tried "RUN ISO" from pull down menu also using ISO image CD-ROM plugin also failed, I tried to get a FAQ for CD-ROM but only got some short messages, can you kindly help?

Thanks.

Funny, that same thing happened to me after the following two things:
1) I upgraded to an Athlon 1.33 from a P2 350
2) I use Win2K instead of Win98SE

Currently, it works fine in Win98SE. Since you didn't state which OS you used, I guess either of the above things could've caused the problem.

Sorry ... I forgot the OS

Win2K almost failed everything, so I stick to Win98SE. In fact, Win98 was only for games ...

But strangely, I can play the CD but fail the ISO image. I doubt it's the BLINDREAD create non-standard ISO?

Then try CDRWIN or Nero BurningROM, I'd go for the first, since it works even if your just taking some sectors off the CD.

Great! Thanks for your suggestion.

Make sure you change the image file output format to either BIN or ISO. Don't use the BWT format.

I use ISO, but it generate a BWT file also (very small size, 2 or 3K)

But when I try to use ePSXe to 'RUN ISO IMAGE', I got black screen only.

Can you tell me what kind of CD-ROM plugin you configure when running ISO images?

Thanks.

Which BlindRead version are you using? I'm currently using BlindRead 3.0.2.0, and before you create a CD image, you can choose what format you want it in. I always use "CDRWin/FireBurner (.BIN) format". I know older versions of BlindRead do not support this (i.e. only BWT output is available). Upgrade your BlindRead if you have an older version.

As for the CDROM plugin, any one of them would do... I use the internal CDROM plugin to read the BIN file.

I'm also the latest BlindRead.
Since I'm lazy and I see ePSXe can directly run the image ....
I'll try to use BIN instead, thanks for your tips

Have you tried running your ISO through daemon tools? If not you can get it here

I'll try tonight, thanks.

How about the CD-ROM plugin, just use the real CD-ROM driver letter OK? Or need to change drive letter?
