Papa I've read your posts a quick question

[Wideboy]

I have read your posts regarding Disc Juggler and have therefore managed to copy self booting adn none self booting cd's.

Discjuggler 2.000.419 is coming up with messages when copying Sega GT and Bass Fishing -

1) illegal mode for this track or invalid packet size
2) illegal field in command descriptor block.

I've tried mode 1/ 2, RAW nad None Raw and basically most other boxes - does this mean I'm going to have to find a copy of PSXCOPY 6.x or is there something I can do???

PS Using a Yamaha 8424ez (like you) get the messages when usinh it disc to disc and Recorder as the reader.

Please help me as I have done the research you previously advised and I've only been trying to copy Dreamcast games for a day!!! (hopefully I'll be able to help other people soon)

Thanks

check these settings to get past illegal field error

ignore read errors
raw read/write
eddc

if writing and verifying, turn off verify and only write

i also turned of burnproof

before i did this, dj would quit 10 seconds after starting. now it goes right to the end no problems

4x4 gave me some problems. it got to 99% read, then it got the no seek for a min. or 2. then it put in some dummy blocks and burned away. it works fine no problems so far.

i hope that this helps

Ok I've had a responce from LOCKJAW666 & LGOTTASHIT666,

Both said to use ignore/errors, RAW read & Write & EDDC

Now the question is "What/where is EDDC, I've looked through the advanced menu & Tools menu but can't seem to find it??"

Thanks for all your help everybody

BIG PAPA,

I actually never started posting here until i learned how to do the S/B's. i just came here to try and help people. i read a couple of other message boards, isonews, cd-rom guide. i mostly learne by reading and lurking and building my knowledge (which is not much, but is more than some people).

this is the 1 suggestion i have to people who are having problems. read as many posts on the subjects as you can and try to learn, because you will find your answer by reading as many posts as possible.

i won't even post at isonews, because of the flames there.

it took me a while to figure out how to do the S/B's, but i managed to do it. getting the yamaha 8424ez did not hurt either, definately a great investment for $100.


The EDDC should be in your defaults or advance settings

[Wideboy]

Yeah I agree with you totally.. I read all the post from the people who seemed to know what they were doing (Big PAPA Igottashit66 & Lockjaw666).

The first day I came here I just read as many posts as possible, looked for people with similar hardware as me and then went and tried a few things out.

I have a suggestion that could help - on the main screen of the forums etc is says "no asking where to get iso's" perhaps it should also say read before you post.. perhaps people shouldn't become instant members and be made to wait a couple of days for there 'ACCESS' email then at least they might read a few posts!

What I would like to say is people are at least polite and I have started helping 'newbies' (after all I've only been doing it since last Friday'ish) I've got a few 'text' documents on my desktop so I can easily cut and past answers to 'the same old questions'.

PS if people do read this then just note I've tried the following programs which goes to show that you learn more if you try to help yourself...

Discjuggler 2.000.419
PSXcopy
CloneCD
CDRwin
*** next to try are ***
CDrecord
PacketCD
WinonCD

so the moral of the story is that nobody has the 'FINAL' answer to the 'how do you copy DC games' question - you have just got to try it out!! after all a couple of COASTERS are cheaper than buying the ORGINAL again (after all we are only backing up copies of games we already own aren't we???)
