Castlevania SOTN too slow

[py2top]

Hi fellows,

I´m having problems running Castlevania SOTN.
It runs too slow, so slow that you wait about 5 minutes just for the Konami´s intro. I´ve tryed many different configurations, but nothing works.
I ´ve tested with Pete´s ogl 1.75, D3D and others, several CDR plugins, etc...

I´ve also tryed to burn a .iso, but the software tells me that there is a problem with the track. I know that the CD is ok, because I´ve tested in a original psx console.

Could somebody help me, please?

Thanks for the reply.

AC97 Audio Controller (bult-in)

What app are you using to make the ISO?

Hi,

I tested several: Roxio Easy CD Creator, Nero 6.0, Alcohol 120%. The last one was ISO Buster, and I got something weird. In the middle of iso (with ISO Buster) extraction, I´ve got a error msg, telling that the sector has reading troubles. Then, I´ve canceled the process, but the iso file (which is not complete) is there and it is possible to start the game from this iso file.
Since I´ve just played some minutes, I cannot tell what will happen when I get the middle of the game.

Thank you very much

Just to add more information, I read today in this forum that is possible to protect a CD against copy with erroneous sectors. Is this true? How to work around this matter?

Tks,
