I am using MagicEngine 0.99b3 and WinXP. However, I cannot run any CD games (not virtual CD-ROM). It seems that my CD-ROM cannot read the CDs. In the Windows Explorer, it only show one file track01.cda. Here is my ini & log:

# ----
# CD-ROM settings
# ----

[cdrom]

;
; CD-ROM drive
; --
; 0 -> first CD-ROM drive [default]
; 1 -> second CD-ROM drive
; ...
;

drive=0

;
; CD-ROM drive letter
; --
; (Windows 2000/XP only)
;
; D:
; E:
; ...
;

drive_letter=G:

;
; SCSI driver timeout
; --
; change the delay that the emulator waits when accessing
; the CD-ROM SCSI driver, 0 is infinite delay
;

timeout=0

;
; CD-ROM cache
; --
; y -> enable
; n -> disable [default]
;

cache=n

;
; CD-ROM cache size
; --
; in KB [default is 512KB]
;

cache_size=512



[CD-ROM INIT]
scanning NT scsi drivers...
- F: (LITE-ON/LTR-24102B/5S59)... OK
- G: (Maxell/MDVD-ROM16/GEH1)... OK
found 2 CD-ROM drive(s)
opening ASPI DLL... OK
scanning ASPI devices... no CD-ROM drive found!
CD-ROM emulation disabled!
create dummy rom... OK
searching game backup RAM in database [10000001|00000000]... not found
clear and initialize a new backup RAM



anybody know the solutions?

Open your pce.ini file in Notepad and set those options as follows:

Code:
  ;
  ; CD-ROM drive
  ; --
  ;   0 -> first  CD-ROM drive [default]
  ;   1 -> second CD-ROM drive
  ;   ...
  ;

drive=

  ;
  ; CD-ROM drive letter
  ; --
  ;   (Windows 2000/XP only)
  ;
  ;   D:
  ;   E:
  ;   ...
  ;

drive_letter=F:


Leave the [drive=] line empty! Otherwise you'll activate the ASPI support (which you probably don't want since you're under XP).

You can also try G: instead of F: if your first drive doesn't work.

Thanks for your suggestion. However, problem is still the same.

You are using an old version of MagicEngine, update to v0.99b5 and all should be ok.
