 Posted: Sat Aug 12, 2006 5:39 am Post subject: CDs Not Working |
 |
|
Greetings,
I purchased a TurboGrafx CD and some CD-ROM games from a friend-- the CD drive does not work, but the CDs themselves are in good condition. I downloaded the 1.0 demo of MagicEngine to try the games out, and unfortunately none of them work in MagicEngine. In each case I get the following error in my logfile:
| Code: | [BOOT CD]
reading TOC...
- error : unexpected track index! (2/3) |
Does anyone have any suggestions? The full logfile is listed below. Thanks!

Are the CDs originals or burns? They sound like burns...and bad ones at that.

As far as I know, they're originals. They look fairly old, the cover art and CD artwork is the same as I can find everywhere online, etc etc... |

That error means that track 2 on the CD has index 3 in the TOC, apparently the TOC jump from track 1 to track 3 which is illegal, you can't skip a track index. The CDs would perhaps work though if MagicEngine was not checking that, are the CDs original?
To fix that you will need to dump the CDs and re-burn them with a correct TOC.

Interesting... this is strange that this error happens then, may be the CD are too old. Try to rip one with TurboRIP to see if it detects errors.

Thanks for the tip.  I get this error when attempting to rip any of the discs using TurboRip:
The ReadMe for the program says that some NEC drives can cause problems-- I do have an NEC drive, though I'm not sure if that's a problem. Let me try running TurboRip on another computer in the house with a different CD-ROM drive, and I'll post an update momentarily. |

These discs work fine on the other computer. It's running Windows 2000, but still... Anyway, my drive wasn't the problem. There is a program installed on my computer called "DVD43" which is designed to remove DVD copy protection on the fly; I use it along with Nero Recode to easily rip my DVDs into a format playable on my PSP. However, this program loads with Windows and there doesn't appear to be a way to tell it not to do that. As long as it's active in the system tray, neither Magic Engine nor TurboRip can accurately read PC Engine CDs.
I manually shut DVD43 off by right-clicking in the system tray and now everything works perfectly in Magic Engine. Thanks! |
