I get put into the music DC Menu and I can go back from there to "Play" but it constantly says Please Insert Game Disk despite there being one. This is bin/cue mounted.

If I try "Open bin/elf" I receive no menu and the following error message

I've tried converting the bin/cue to .mdf/mds and mounting it and that leads just to the menu. I've tried a ton of combinations of the plugins to see if it could be that but it did nothing. I have two scene releases of this Gut's Rage: Sword of the Berserker which one of the two has worked up until a point where it locked up and flooded the command prompt with

The FPS and mhz also drop to ridiculously low like 1mhz. Does anyone have any suggestion to these problems?

[Snaksolid]

you could try converting the image to .cdi and use the image loader instead of the cd drive plugin

[project]

Which menu, the bios menu or the game menu? If it is the bios, the image probably is not self boot and the Vmem thingy could be the lack of visual memory support that is causing the problems

[beperfection]

The BIOS menu is the one with File, Music, Play, Etc. Right? If so then it is that one. I tried converting to a .cdi and that seemed to work but the graphics are all screwed up now as opposed to the previous rip which was perfect :/

Anyway to fix this or do I just have to hope it will be fixed somehow in releases to come?

[project]

okay would help to tell the video card you have, you CPU for what i can see suports sse3 so that may not be the problem, have you tried to play on Chankast, the emu not the plugin?

[beperfection]

Athlon64 3500+ MMX, 3Dnow, ~2.2Ghz
Radeon X1600 256MB AGP
DX9c

I've tried to load it in chankast but I just end up getting either ioControl error or it will just reset when it looks like it is about to start.

[project]

try to dump/get a new BIOS, that may be your problem

[beperfection]

I tested both PAL and NTSC BIOS on both Chankast and nullDC and got the same results as I did with the previous BIOS (pretty significant graphical glitches imo). What makes you say it's a BIOS problem?

[Snaksolid]

What game are you trying to play anyway?Just Sword of the Berserk or have you tried any others?

[beperfection]

I've tried others like Skies of Arcadia and it works fine.

[project]

WELL you didnt tell that other games works so its the imagem your problem, it is not self bootable
