napalm patch
 

I'm trying to use cdrwin to backup my ps2 games from the EA originals that I have. When I use the steps you are supposed to(copy to bin file(not raw)) and apply the patch, cdrwin gives me an error that the cue sheet was rejected. If I do it as raw the burn process goes smoothly but it wont' boot. Any one have success burning EA/Midway from the originals? I have neo2 chip. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.

if you have the neo2 fitted you shouldnt need the napalm patch

I don't for most games, but a straight copy of ea/midway will not boot. Which disc swap should I use with them? I have U.S. machine and gameshark 2 v1.0.

put the gameshark disk in
power ps2 down using reset
now power up but keep your finger on the reset button until you get the gameshark menu you will also hear the disk slow down
now take your finger of the reset button and the disk tray shoul automatically eject
you now have 4 seconds to swap g/s with backup then disk tray will shut by itself
now press start game then witout codes then press x to load game

Sorry to but in Tomcat; but I had to use the napalm patch to get all my EA and Midway Game titles to work on my U.S. PS2 (ver. 1 board).......I use CDRWIN to rip the info, then I used the napalm patch to patch the title, and then I used FireBurner to Create the Backup.....(I only use FireBurner because CDRWIN will only rip and not write with my CDRW)....and that was it...the games must be booted up just like tomcat described above....that is the only method I have down to getting backups like:

SSX
Madden 2001
NHL 2001
Ready to Rumble 2
even Donald Duck.......

I've backed up all my game titles except for two that are giving me probs:

Top Gear Dare Devil
Streetfighter

Well then I have to ask, what options do you have selected when you rip the ISO with cdrwin? raw or not, etc.? I have successfully ripped it raw, applied the patch, burned it successfully(cdrwin) and still no dice.
