cant get tg cd to run in gameex

[puppetj]

after looking at http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?sh...p;hl=TurboGrafx

and trying the setup in the last post (using alcohol 120 instead) i cant get it fully running, it get to the syscard screen i press run, then after secs i get the cd player menu with all the stop,pause,shuffle, etc.. buttons,

iam i suppose to get this? if i hit play, nothing happens.

btw what the post mentions is not fully clear:

"also, the command line boots the emulator directly into the system card, which is really important. you're going to want to make sure to edit your pce.ini file to specify *only* your virtual drive."

this is my ini below:
