If you check the pSX compatibility list, pothb (smegforbrain's list at psx.silvanthalas.com/psxcompatibility.html or Ultima's JavaScript version of it at psx.awardspace.com/), you'll see that this was noted for v 1.0 of the emulator, but doesn't seem to have been updated since. Why don't you post what version your copy is and whether it's PAL or NTSC? I also note that the PAL version appears to be copy-protected: if you have a PAL version, it might be worth considering whether it's the copy-protection that's causing this. If so, you may be able to fix it with a patch - try MegaGames ( www.megagames.com/).

Ah, well, I didn't know there were compatibility lists anywhere else sides on this site. That helps, I'm pretty sure its NTSC, but I don't really know. >.>

Those are the pSX emulator forum compatibilty lists, pothb. They're maintained by forum members - stalwarts both.
NTSC versions may be copy protected, too - it's just not as common as copy protection on PAL versions.

The US version of this game should be called Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (SLUS-007.08), and is not protected.
According to the PSX Master List, the PAL version, however, appears to be called Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain (SLES-013.01, but there's also a German version out there) and IS protected.
The best way to know what you've got, pothb, is to get that burned copy of the game mounted on a virtual drive with a program like Daemon Tools, and then check the folder of the virtual drive. Somewhere in that folder will be a file that is the SL*S game id.

Most of the patches I've got from there have included the program needed to run it or are executable files in themselves, pothb. What was in the package you dled?
