To date I have made 2 successful copies and 4 coasters while trying to back up PSX games. Help would be appreciated.

The successful copies I have made were of PAL games that didn't need patching, and NERO copied them fine. The coasters were made when attempting to patch using PPF. My burner is not compatable with CDRWin (its a TDK Velocity 101232). I use CDRWin to create an image on my hard drive, and patch with PPF. I have then attempted to burn back with Fireburner (latest version) which locks up and doesn't think there is a disc in the PSX. I tried CloneCD and patched the .img file, with the same result as Fireburner. Finally I tried BlindRead/BlindWrite , but although this created a working disc, it was still in NTSF (ie patch did not work).

I have searched this forum, and Deano's site (which by the way is very good but his settings for Fireburner are for an older version which doesn't recognise my writer), but I am running out of ideas.

Help would be appreciated.
