I been reading through the post. I'm new to all this. My question is - - - If I back up a playstation 1 game and install a patch....Will the back up work if I do not have a mod chip? Or no matter what I need to get a mod chip? And one more question...if it's not a protected game then will a straight burn at 2x or 1x using CDRwin work?
Thanks.
