I have the same problem as you with the french version of FF9 ( and also for Vagrant Story )
I'm looking for tutorials. I just find a way to backup
( megagames.com) but I don't try it for now.
I hope it'll work because it may be possible that my CD Burner ( Traxdata 8-4-32 ) don't burn the PSX CD's well.
I wish you a good luck and if I have some news
I"ll tell you. And if you have some I would be great if could reply me.

Good luck and thanks everyone.
(and sorry for my bad english)
