if its a PAL version of the game you might need to patch it with a .ppf patch or something but if your image works fine then just use that. using images will generally give better performance than playing from the disc itself anyway.

use ASPI instead of IOCTL, i get the same issue with psx, most other emuls work with IOCTL just fine, but psx doesn't like my drive/drivers for some reason.
