first, get a internal modchip, if you can't solder get someone to install it for you. dont waste your time trying to use the cog, knife method or some gimmick to play backups do it the right way. adaptec software in my opinion is the worst for PSX, PS2 backups you will need cdrwin or clonecd however your burner must be 100% compatable with clonecd and cdrwin for it to work properly. As far as patching games and burning them the best way to learn is to read the forum. I have been a member for about a year now and reading the backpost from members like Charlie, DAl, Deano and Warlock( who is badly missed) is how i learned most of what i know. Burning games is not always easy and will require a little research but in the end the rewards are well worth it. Afterwards if you still have problems post them in this forum and someone will be glad to help. Good luck Brother D...Hope this helps alittle.
