CDZ Loading crash

[arek]

pSX 1.6 seems to have a problem loading cdz images on my computer - either it appears to load the image, but then eventually takes me to the Memory Card editor screen (happens with Suikoden 1 and disc 2 of Grandia) or crashes (Grandia disc 1). The crash comes after the DOS Box prints "ISO9660: Invalid Header" (or something very similar to that). I have not checked whether the invalid header message happens with the other images. Grandia disc 1 works fine uncompressed, as does Castlevania: SOTN (which I had to leave uncompressed previously for ePSXe - pSX used to crash on a regular basis in that one, haven't fully tested it on 1.6 yet). I have yet to test Suikoden or disc 2 of grandia uncompressed, but am assuming that they'll work fine, for the moment.

Any help on this would be appreciated, and I can provide crash dumps if needed.

I, too, have experienced this problem with a CDZ image of Suikoden. I can uncompress it, and it works fine. I tried compressing it both with the command line util, and with the GUI. Either way produces the same results.

How peculiar... I have the same problem on Vandal Hearts, Resident Evil, and Tobal 2. All of these games worked fine until I compressed them.

In my case however, I can still launch these games from the psxfin File --> Load Image menu. I cannot however load them from the command line.

I have another thread going about psx and gameex but I'm starting to think that these problems are related.

it doesn't matter if i launch from the command line or GUI, it does the same thing.

to remove this error:

run "regedit", delete for every occurence of "psxfin"

eh? pSX does not use the registry...

i went through the registry just for kicks, and there are several references to psxfin, but they are limited to MRU lists for run, d3d, and dinput, plus a few "open with" entries for the different cd image types.
