I have been trying to figure out why this is happening when I go to load a iso in bizhawk it ends up crashing the program also, and I dont no if this is related or not but every time I go to start bizhawk i get this message Emuhawk has detected it has administrator privileges. this is a bad idea. So I dont understand what that means I checked and I definitely not running it as administrator so what is going on here?

Try processing it with DiscoHawk.

Your user account may be marked as an administrator. It's a good idea to enable the separate Administrator account and de-privilege yourself.
I contribute to BizHawk as Linux/cross-platform lead, testing and automation lead, and UI designer. This year, I'm experimenting with streaming BizHawk development on Twitch. nope Links to find me elsewhere and to some of my side projects are on my personal site. I will respond on Discord faster than to PMs on this site.
Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is software," because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some high-wattage thread-ripping monster of a CPU dead in its tracks? The answer: use code. And if that don't work? Use more code.

ISOs are often junk for PSX, as more often than not they are multi-track and thus require a more complex format (e.g. cue/bin). What game exactly are you trying to run here? Also, are you using BizHawk under Linux with WINE/Proton by any chance? It could false positive the Administrator check.

That will not trigger the Administrator account check (I have my only account set as Administrator and it doesn't trigger the warning). You'd have to explicitly run the .exe with Administrator permissions.
