Philips drives cannot do protected psx games if i remember as they cannot select "dont repair subnchannel" in clone cd, they are also badly made drives, a good make of drive is plextor but only a few can do sdv2 backups, undoubtable the best drive ever is the plextor 8x4x32 as it can do all protections and it is a bloddy good brand, but they are very hard to get hold of.

In reference to the above, If you have a decent cd rom drive installed on your system as well as the Philips 32x8x4, you get the ability to use the reader (CD ROM - Mine is a Teac 32x) this drive will read anything you throw at it. Then use the philips to burn it over, and since a lot of people prefer to have 2 drives installed anyway (ie:On the fly burning etc...) there ain't no problem. I also have a plex 32x12x10, And I use it to do all the "normal" everyday writing, so the philips in only ever used to do SD2 or Securom titles, that way I am prolonging the life of the Philips drive.
