I have tried everything to let the emulator read my CD-ROM drive but nothing I do will work. I'm not new to emulation so I'm pretty baffled by this. Thanks!! Here is the log the last time I ran the emulator:

Also, I messed with the pcfx.ini file numerous times to no avail and I can hear my CD-ROM drive being accessed right before the emulator opens...hope that helps

I had a similar problem with this emu. For whatever reason, it wouldnt see the CD. But, if I hit the RESET tab, the CD game would boot. So, I am not sure why, but, it works for me like this. Matter of fact, I just finished playing so its fresh on my memory. Magic Engine doesnt do it, just the ME-FX.

The log says your TOC is bad... You using ISO copies? Might be the problem.

Did you try on your other CD-ROM drives? If they all have the same problem it might be a bad CD, else it may be your first drive that has problem to read PC-FX CDs, it is a true drive?
