I got into pcsx2 in attempt to play Odin Sphere without the slowdown people complain about on the PS2. After going through the configuration guide, I got it running at 150-250fps on the menu screens when frame limiting is off, and configured my controller just fine with lilypad.
Then I put in a game disc to test it out -- Arcana Hearts, since I had that one lying around. It seems to display okay with the ZeroGS graphics plugin, but wow was it sluggish in the cinematics. Looking at the console, it was pretty clear the bottleneck was due to my dvd drive which only reads at 4x speed.
So, I thought, why not rip it and mount it virtually? I tried doISO, and then ImgBurn, but pcsx2 gives me the red "Please inseart a Playstation or Playstation 2 format disc" screen every time. It doesn't matter if I use the P.E.Op.S CDVD 1.3.0 plugin with daemontools or the Linuzappz Iso CDVD 0.7.0 plugin with the iso directly. Is there some trick to ripping a playstation iso properly? Can you point me to the software I need?
