Hello Jeex,

first thank you for your response.

I'm here in europe (germany), and I just forget to say that it's the PAL/Euro version of this game. Have a look at it here: http://www.coversite.net/covers/psx/covers_oud/Spyro_2_-_Gateway_To_Glimmer_PAL_FRONT1.jpg .

The term "video tape library" comes out of my dictionary... it's the translation of "videothek". Here in germany many "videothek"s are lending/selling n64 and/or psx games.

Anyway... it seems that I'm a real fool !!! I never checked out wheter my backup copy works without any patch....
I just downloaded the patch for spyro2 (ripto's rage) and applied it to my image. Obviously the resulting cd wasn't recognized by my psone.
Afterwards I encountered that there is a difference in the games name, so I assumed that I need a different protection fix....

Now I just burned the unmodified image to a cdr, and it seems to work now. I just played 1/2 h without any anti mod screen (but who knows ?).

By the way... the name "gateway to glimmer" just looks like an alias name for "ripto's rage" because the game content is to collect talismen, jewels and balls and fight against ripto and his gang ;o)...
(a real nice game, isn't it ?).

Is there a special point in "ripto's rage" known where the anti mod screen appears ?

Tnx

supplement, might be of interest:
I'm using a psone (scph 102) with a "6-wire" mod chip.
The code for the mod chip (12C508A) could be found at: http://www.angelfire.com/or2/PSOne/
