Talking boot disc

Hi M8ty
Backitup is absolutley correct m8,you will need a chip to play burned discs no matter wot they are.
The reason being in simple terms:-
The psx laser reads from the absolute centre of the disc,and thats where the boot commands are pressed.
Conventional cdr/rw or dvd pc readers donot read from that position so the boot section is ommited.
So basically all the original boot disc or a psx chip does is move the psx laser to the start position for the game which is where the cdr/rw writes the game when you back it up.

Hope this helps
