aoe2 with clone cd

[cask]

when reading to an image file i seem to be stuck on 0% for ever.are there certain settings that need to be applied before the read.help pleez.

How long is 'forever'? How long exactly did you wait?
It can take awhile on the first 2 to 3 percent of the read. Did you check the 'Fast Error Skip' option in CloneCD? Somebody reported that lowering the read speed actually sped up the reading. Try experimenting.

Lowering the read speed isn't necessary - just make sure that Fast Error Skip is checked as the last person said.
Also check in the Fast Error Skip settings that Error Correction = 0 and error correction = software

As long as your writer can handle Safedisk 1 you will have no problems with this game.
