Umm, I've been using Magic Engine since the DOS days myself, registered and all. I have been using v99b5 up until today, and NEVER had the CD-rom problems you speak of. Perhaps the only reason the DOS version is working for you is because your old DOS machine cannot handle the load of the Win32 version? Also, my pads are USB as well, and I have no problems there either. I think you should check your system before accusing the emulator to be "broken".
