Strange proplem with Castlevania: SotN

ComiXEviL · April 11th, 2002

I made a BIN from my CD cuz my CD-ROM sucks, but now in the reverse castle whenever I exit a warp room, the game exits with an Opcode 3f ([numbers]) ([numbers],[numbers]). Now when I play off the CD and exit a warp room, it doesn't freeze. Then if I play from the BIN again, that same room is fine to exit out of, but none of the others are. Has anybody experienced this? Or is anyone playing from an image file of the CD? Thanks for any help.

use mooby's or pete's cd plugin

What speed and what software did you use to make the BIN?

ComiXEviL · April 11th, 2002

BGnome: Like I said, going off the CD is fine, the only problem is with the BIN file, which,

Dark Watcher: Was made with Blindwrite at an average of 8x. Obviously you're prolly gonna say to make it again, this time slower. I will do that. I tried CDRwin, but like halfway through it stopped and gives an error. Of course i've tried all different settings.

ComiXEviL:

- Did you try using both the internal "Run ISO" function and Mooby's plugin? They might handle the image in different ways.

- Try using CDMage (http://cdmage.cjb.net) to check the image

- If the image is corrupted, this might be some issue between Blindwrite and your CD-R drive. Try changing its access layer between ASPI and it's Patty-Coufin driver, or use another tool like ISOBuster.

hmmm, ive never had any problemwith my bins it was probably made at too fast a speed like you already pointed out.

ComiXEviL · April 12th, 2002

Yes, it was made at too fast of speed. I re-ripped it at 1x speed and it's fine. Thanks for all the help.

at 1x?? man that surely was slow!!! I have ripped a way faster with my lg cdrom, and no problems!!!

SadAngel, 1x is slow, but sometimes that is the best way to copy something, slowly and carefully. Remember "Slow and Steady wins the race."

I know you got it working now but I can't miss out a point... If both plug-in 'run ISO', and ePSXe 'run ISO' funtions didn't work you could try daemon tools, it takes lots of formats of ISO's and what it does is make a virtual drive of the ISO. I use it for ISO formats ePSXe didn't support (ex. CCD), I don't know if it suppots them now, haven't checked the run ISO it 1.5.1

sxamiga is absolutely right, I ran into the exact same problem when I tried to make an ISO of Castlevania SOTN with CDRWIN, but when I switched to 1x read speed...low and behold it worked

i only have the demo version of cdrwin, so i am 'forced' to make isos @ 1X. But as has already been mentioned by others: NO PROBLEMS :-)
