Question about VGS CD Handling

k61824 · February 16th, 2003

I think I need to burn the games to CDs in order to free some HD space (Everyone knows HD costs a lot more than CDs) but there are things best run with VGS (especially that I don't seem to be able to get ePSXe going for those games like MegaMan X4 and such without SERIOUS degradation of performance)

but the problem is I have installed Daemon Tools for other things... and VGS doesn't seem to be able to recognize the games in the Physical CD after I disabled all the virtual drives I have.

so is there a way to force VGS to accept CDs from the physical drive?

I am using the VGS Patch For Windows 2000/XP with it.

VGS can't read the backup games het the VGS Video Patch if haven't already and there should be a option thats says "Modchip patch for backup cd's"

I mean I have a real PSX game (licenced copy) in my physical drive and VGS don't seem to recognize anything other than the virtual drive

VGS will read from the first disk it finds.
For example if you have a data disk in drive F and a PS1 disk in drive g, it will try and read F not caring that it isn't a game

u can always disable virtual Daemon drive just while u'r playing PSX CD from physical CD drive...

or, load no iso in virtual Daemon drive!

Thx, bye

edit >>> I wrote some stupid things already written... anyway, it's quite strange, because Daemon normally takes the first free letter for virtual CDs, so the physical ones should be before the virtual ones...
