Hello LeeSim,

yes, you're right. I just ripped the original cd a second and a third time at low speed and compared it with my first dump. And what do you guess: 10 bytes difference (following each other) between my first read and both (identic) ones at low speed.

Now I've no hangup as I had before.

Furthermore (except from a mystic center problem while heading up to the tower where the girlfriend of the little koala-like goblin is waiting) I've no problems here. No fairy (even so there are 3 pals hanging on ropes down the gondola of the baloon), no vanishing eggs and no language switching.
The paradox-patch really seems to work for me.

System: PSOne scph 102, 6-wire modchip without stealth (hex file could be found at the bottom of: ####://www.angelfire.com/or2/PSOne/ )
