I am attempting to get Vasteel to work, and it does for all the options. However when the main game loads it accesses th CD ROM for a second and then the game freezes. Has anyone else run into this issue, and if so is there some kind of fix for it? I have gone through the different options in the config file, but other than that I am not very fimiliar with this emulator to do any more than that. Any direction would be appreciated.

I guess you're using the built-in Magic System, right?

Try with a real System Card 3 ROM. It should work OK.

I dont know what a System card 3 ROM is. Is this something that I can purchase? Sorry about the newbie questions.

No problem.

The System Cards are like a small BIOS for CD-ROM hardware. You can find them at Tru's site. Put them in your Magic Engine folder. From now on, you'll be able to use them in the Boot CD menu of Magic Engine.

That did it for me! The system cards were what I was needing. Thank you very much!
