Well, I just ran into a whole mess of problems.
First off. Last time I tried to play a game (tested Crash Bandicoot and then Syphon Filter), both ran too fast. I then tried FF7 which ran too slow. After that (this was before I thought about using Anandtech to help with it) I just left it alone for a while.
After a few attempts, I cannot even get a game to load. The BIOS runs fine but when I try to run a game from my DVD ROM, ePSXe crashes.
I then tried to create an ISO using Alcohol 120%, but it keeps trying to convert them into .mds files rather than ISOs. I had made several ISO files before, but either I am doing something wrong, or something else is going on. Maybe someone could help me out with this step.
After that, I reconfigured the emulator. After getting a few "* Error in init aspi (235)" messages, I got it configured. However, it still crashes upon loading from the CDROM. There were a few times when I tried to load a game from the CDROM, but all it would do is load the ePSXe in the background. Meaning, I could only find it in the processes menu and close it from there.
Does anybody know what is going on? Better yet, would it be possible for someone to give me a quick rundown of how to configure it properly?
I am using Windows XP if that helps with specs posted below.
