User-adjustable CD-ROM speed?

Having spent the last half hour looking, I assume that there's no way to force a certain CD-ROM speed? I would love to see that added. I've copied all four Wing Commander III discs onto my hard drive. During installation the installer warned me that my CD-ROM speed was "impossible", and when I play the game the movies only play for a few seconds before "hanging" (the game itself doesn't hang, just the movies; pressing Esc skips them). Of course, with Wing Commander III half the point is the movies!

This sounded very strange to me, so I made an iso of the first WC3 disc and imgmounted it and installed it, and indeed, the movies didn't hang but worked for me.

Just used 0.72 and the default settings.

Try with fixed cycles.
