depends on wot mod u have.

If u have messiah or messiah 2 then I think it boots straight up usig PS1 boot method.

If it doesn't then u can definitely boot it up using the bonus disc 2 PS1 disc that comes with Action Replay 2/Gameshark 2.

Load this up, select start game, select without codes and then put disc in and should run straight up.

It is worth noting that if u trying to boot up a backup it must be patched as this was a protected game.

CTR runs fine, no special process necessary, on my v5+Neo2.5DVD - however I recall when I first made the copy (in PSX days) that this game was SUPER-picky about the media and burn speed. I had to drop the speed of the burner to 1x or 2x and use media that the game liked... and I _never_ have to do that.

Basically the Crash games are ULTRA-compressed. I mean, the PS2 Crash really should have been on a DVD, but instead it's on 400MB of a CDR, packed so tight that levels take a minute or more to load!

ok naaa i pretty sure my messiah 2 pro will run it fine its juss ive tried burning it 2 now and it still only makes it up 2 a certain place at the start............and sum times it dont even boot lol............
so does any1 no how i can copy CRASH TEAM RACING.............


so can sum1 plz tell me how i can copy this and how i can backup wrath of cortex........(is it in compact disc or is it dvd format.....)

plz help......

[ottoman]

I used blind write suite for both, yes wrath of cortex is PS2 cd.

Can't see why cloneCD won't do it though.

Use blind write suite to make a cdrwin compatible image of CTR. Apply patch to image and then use cdrwin to burn it back. This definitely works. Also when burning the game try and burn as slow as poss ( like 1X ).

An easy way to tell which games are cd and dvd is by looking at the back of the disc. If its blue then it's a cd, if it is anything else then it's dvd. Or look at the box or top of the disc, it will either say cd-rom or dvd-rom.

the only reason i didnt no what type of cd format it was cus i havent boght it yet(gettin it this weekend)lol.......but thanx everyone 4 help

ctr is an outstanding psx game. it's better than a majority of ps2 games.

Crash Team Racing is a protected game so I is assuming that u r patching the image before u burn it, If u dont it gets up to the loading level screen then freezes.

[Gurm]

Err... protected?

Runs fine unpatched on my Neo chip.

Ran fine unpatched on my Stealth 2.7 (I think it was a 2.7) on my PSX.

What protected are we talking about here?

The Protection I'm talking about is the protection that the protection fix available HERE!! Fixes.

This is for euro pal version. If u did a straight back-up of the original without having to patch it then it probably wasn't the pal version.

If u do a back-up of the pal version without patching it then u get the symptoms discussed above.

Ahh I loved this game. There is no protection for the ntsc version. I remember just backing it up using cdrwin back in the days.

Yikes!

Didn't notice that the original poster was in Australia!
