Burned vs Import?
 

Now that I have had time, I finally went back and read the past 5 pages of POSTS (sorry, I should have done this FIRST…but time time time…)! Anyway, Buzzon (in his joking way)…continually knocks Boot Disk’s vs. MOD chips. I am new to this entire scheme, and after fighting my Boot Disk (PS-X-Change 2), I am beginning to wonder if Buzzon maybe is right? Thanks to you all, I have learned a TREMENDOUS amount about MOD and my PS, and so thanks to you all.

The more I get into this, the more I realize there is always MORE! So, now another question:

I am beginning to think IMPORT is different than BURNED…is this true? I assume (which usually makes and ASS out of U and ME) that when I bought my PS-X-Change 2, I could simply burn a copy of ANY NTSC or PAL game, start my PS-X-Change 2 Boot Disk, insert the BURNED copy of the game, press START and GO!

Since this is not happening, a few thoughts cross my mind:

1) I am a dumbass and can not for the life of me get a GOOD burn of my game…
(and I have check the MEGAGAMES website and I am good to go as far as which games I burn, which software to burn (cloneCD and CDRWIN) and which settings to use…thanks Buzzon and so many others).

2) IMPORT does not mean BURNED…but something else, and I need to buy a MOD chip for BURNED games

3) Buzzon is right, The PS-X-Change Boot Disk does not work with BURNED games, and I got screwed thinking it could.

Not the first time, NEVER the last…

Well, once again I did more research...and at least I did waste anyone's time this time.

I found that an IMPORT is different than a BURN (or back-up CD). I do not have any IMPORT's and do not plan on purchasing any in the future.

I also found out that my PS-X-Change is SUPPOSED to play Back up CD's and Import CD's. This is good, because I want to play the Back up CD's.

SO...I just have a BURNING problem, since none of my attempts have been successful working with my PS-X-Change 2.

Thanks anyway everyone!

I went through all that you have done and found out that my cd-r was not one of the ones that can make working backups. I ruined a few discs before coming across that fact. Good luck, hope this is not the case with you!

Well, I finally did it! I had to ditch the CDCLONE, the NERO and work just with CDRWIN3.8G. It worked like a charm, and I used the following URL for a reference:

Eventhough the gifs/jpgs are for the 3.7F, it worked the same with the 3.8G and was fine.

Thanks to all of you with your support and help! I learned quite a bit along the way, and am glad I did not get screwed with the Boot Disk way.
