[spooky]

Well not being a clone user i'm not 100% certain but i will try my best to answere this for you.

I believe that clone does'nt atually remove the anti mod protection but due to its unique reading nature it actualy copies it therefor games that do have "anti mod protection" will still need to be patched. Games that have standard copy protection wont need a patch because clone copies the it straight accross onto the backup.

There is a list on www.megagames.com of all the PSX titles that hace "anti mod protection", and you will need to use CDRWin for those that do.

Hope this goes someway to explaining your trouble.
