when ran from cd, epsxe does not load

i have configured and reconfigured my epsxe, and i dont know what to do anymore. i am trying to run my ps1 game from my laptop dvd/cd drive(if this is possible?) everytime i click on run from cd, it loads a black screen and just stays there. what am i doing wrong? is this a display problem or a cd plugin prob. please help, i am ready to give up.

Thanks Shane (Newbie)

i have tried numerous things, such as download the aspi drivers from adaptec, i have even downloaded epsxe 1.5.2 but nothing works. i cannot use the epsxe CDR ASPI core 1.5.2 because it wont let me select a drive which in my case is D:. It keeps on giving me this error "*Error in init aspi (235)" Also does espxe play every ps one game from cd? because i am trying to load wcw mayhem as my test game.

Anyone have any clues?

Which windows version are you using? You don't need ASPI on XP/2000, use the Windows IOCTRL (SPTI), either with ePSXe built in CD plugin or Peops CDr. Sapu CDr plugin might work for you anyway.

If you want/need ASPI, better install it with ForceASPI, you'll find it with a forum or goggle search

( Please don't double post, just use the edit button ;) )

And try to use SaPu CD plugin as it is easier to be configured. And make sure that you had PS bios. :cool:

i have tried cdr sapu and peops cdr, nothing works. i have downloaded every cdr plugin. it always loads a black screen. i do have windows xp and i have ps bios scph1001.bin. i dont know what else to try. Is it common for it not to work on some pc's. i am on a laptop if that makes a different and it is a dvd drive, not a regular cd drive. i have tried configuring so many times. if anyone has any other tips, lets hear em.

i just ran ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.5.2., on version 1.5.2 and when i ran it it said this:

*Running ePSXe emulator version 1.5.2
*Memory handlers init.
*ePSXe: PSX BIOS loaded [bios/SCPH1001.BIN]
*Init Core W2k cdrom ... * gettrackinfo error [4]
[D] ok
*NTSC cdrom detected.
*Warning: cdrom read mode unknown.
*Doing init gpu[0]...
*Gpu open[0]...
*Direct input init ok.
*Init core spu ... ok
*Error reading CD: 0,2,16
*Error reading CD: 0,2,0

When i try CDR Sapu i pick the d drive, my dvd drive, for interface i selected IOCTL/SCSI, read mode autodetect and it showed this on the command screen:
*Running ePSXe emulator version 1.5.2
*Memory handlers init.
*ePSXe: PSX BIOS loaded [bios/SCPH1001.BIN]
*Init cdrom ... ok
*CDrom open... ok
*NTSC cdrom detected.
*Warning: cdrom read mode unknown.
*Doing init gpu[0]...
*Gpu open[0]...
*Direct input init ok.
*Init core spu ... ok

One question, what game are you trying to play?

I'd try making a image from the CD, then mount it with Daemon Tools

i have tried two games, nba live 99 and wcw mayhem wrestling. when i tried it on my other computer they both work but not on my laptop. thats what i dont get, my laptop wont work.

is there a service that needs to be run for epsxe cdrom to work? when i was in my mcse class my teach took off some services that i might not have needed in order to speed up my laptop, which it did wonders. im just wondering if there is a specific service that might need to be turned back on. im am not sure what to do anymore.

Y'know, I had that problems, and seriously, all I did was clean the disk, and it works perfectly now. So...try that...^.^;;
