well your problem is the media you are using,use a good cdr like tdk, verbatim data life plus, ect.
do not use cdrw's because your playstation will not read them.

wht do you mean media?

and i read some of the threads in the forum and i was wondering what patching was.... please help...

THANX alot

[buzzon]

media is the cd that you are recording to like your sony's.well A patch is a small file which is added to the game(the image you made to your hard drive) file to overwrite or add new information usually related to the Protection side of the game.

[buzzon]

those cdr's should work(i have a few games on them and play no problem.)and you will only have to apply patches if it is proctected.or like i said befor.pal-2-ntsc ect.what program are you using to copy the games.

o ok.. so i have to download a program to start coping?
i am using nero right now...
how do you know your game is protected?


thanx for your relpy

[buzzon]

get rid of nero for playstation games anyway,download clonecd or cdrwin which is the best at doing this kind of stuff as long as your burner is compatable with them.ps what is the model # of your burner

unselect dont report bad sectors
unselect intelligent bad sector scanner

to burn image to cd

set write speed 1 or 2x
select RAW DAO
select dont repair subchannel data
unselect simulate writing (if available)
select burn proof/just link (if available)
unselect perform laser power calibration
unselect wait until buffers are full
select always close last session

coping image means putting on the patch thing?
where can i download that program?

[buzzon]

no it means that your record it to your hard drive first then burn it back to a cdr.if a patch is needed you apply it to the image on your hard drive
