Are patches PS model / Modchip type dependent???
 

I have a model 7002 Playstation (UK PAL), and I'm trying to back up TOCA WTC and FFVIII, which I know both have copy protection.

I've downloaded patches for both, and tried two different patches for TOCA and one for FF, but after creating my .bin, applying the patch (which seemed to graft on fine each time) and burning the new image from CDRwin, I'm still getting coasters!!!!

The CD's load OK to the patched section, and I get the PAL/NTSC selection in the case of the multi-cracks (and this part works fine) but then the games are still hanging on the protection checks.... any ideas what's going wrong here? does it have anything to do with my model of playstation??

I don't think there's anything I forgot in CDRwin.... I'm writing RAW mode2 2352, jitter off, error ignore, subcode auto.

The cracks should be OK too... they're coming from Paradox and BAD, so I don't think the problem is non-working cracks either.....

come on buddy you got everything down. go back and check the patches are those patches for the protection? there are different types of patches and you gotta use the right one. if the patches are right everything should be fine.

Yeah, the patches for TOCA are multi-cracks that switch between the PAL/NTSC and are also supposed to cut out the LC4, but they don't seem too.....

The patch for FF8 is just a protection fix, but that ain't working either......

The FF8 one says it is for the UK version.... I'm trying to backup the UK version released on Platinum, shouldn't make a difference should it??

The TOCA one is supposed to be for all Euro releases (English, German, etc) so I assume that is the right one.

Hmmmm, I've gotta be doing something really f***ing stupid..... it'll probably come to me in a few hours........

hello again
 

let me ask you this have you burned a sucessful game yet? if not then i think you might need to check if your burner is compatible with the cdrwin. if not you seem to be doing everything right but its not coming out right. just take a few hours off and chill and go over everything from the start again. you will get it.

Yeah, all the games that I have burnt that do not require patches have come out fine with CDRwin....

The patched version of Superbike 2000 also came out OK, so I don't know what's happening with FFVIII and TOCA WTC.

your not the only 1 thats having trouble with toca w.t.c seems it is a hard 1 to crack
