First time burner...
 

Hey! I downloaded game from one web site. After packin there were two different files crash4.bin and crash4.cue. I didn't first knew what files are these.. After reading psxcopyworlds guide I found out that this bin file is image file.
I have patched it with PPF-O-MATIC and opened crash4.cue file with CDRWIN. I can record this normally.. All seems to be right but after burning I found out that there is not files on the CD!! PSX can't open it!!
When I put this CD in my PC:s CDROM Drive it starts to play this CD. It seems like CDRWIN has made one music track from this image file?? How is this possible? What am I doing wrong? Pleace tell me!

Unless you are doing something very strange, then it is because your CD writer is incompatible with CDRwin. Everything will appear fine, but you'll just get a CD with one unplayable CDA track on it. It's what happened to me before I changed CD writers anyway... everytime.

If that's not an option, here's what to do (if you have or can get Nero - it works with far more CD Writers)

1: Make your image as normal in CDRwin. Even if your writer doesn't work with CDRwin, chances are you can still read OK into CDRwin using it.

2: Use PPF-O-Matic to patch as normal.

3: You can safely delete the .cue file now, you won't be needing it anymore, it's just to tell CDRwin where everything has to go on the CD

4: Open Nero, and select File -> Burn Image

5: Select the .bin file that you made with CDRwin. Nero will tell you that is a foreign image file, just click OK.

6: When the data type box comes up, select the data type as mode2. The number of sectors should be set automatically. If it's not, then set it to 2352 sectors.

7: Set the writing speed to 2x, and click burn. Wait 30 - 45 mins, and you'll have a perfectly working backup, assuming the patch is OK..... :-)

Hope that helps!!!!
