MagicEngine

[Doomhammer]

okay, i have wasted about 6 cds so far on dracula x. I have tryed downloading the files from different places but nothing works, i try to play the cds on magic engine and it always says no cd!. I have checked the log and i have aspi drivers and it detects my cd drives but it wont start.... i notice when i try to boot the cd i dont even see any of my cd drive lights come on like it didnt even check or soemthing. My main question is to anyone who has a working burnt Draculax cd is when you explore the cd what files does it show on the cd, when i look it mine theres one wav file labeled Track01 and thats all that it shows as being on the cd, if i take the cd out and look at the bottom of it i can see that the cd is about 60% full so i know theres more than just that one small file on there SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE!!?!!?!?



btw heres my log

Make sure that the drive you are using for the CD is the default CDRom Drive in the pce.ini file. If you are using more than 1 CDRom drive, this could cause an issue. If something tried to read the drive and there is a disc in it, it will light up.

Go into the pce.ini file and set the CDRom drive to the drive number/letter (forget what it is) that you want to use.

As with all pce games, when you put the cd into a computer drive, it will only read track 1. So your game may be perfectly fine.

You should see a difference when you set the CDRom drive correctly in the pce.ini though. That is the only problem I can see... ecspecially if you have a virtual cdrom drive installed on your comp.

Hope that helps,
