help with clonecd 4 or alcohol 120% to make backup copy

[nazxul]

I went to http://psxpaul.cjb.net/ for help on creating a psx image using CloneCD

I used his tutorial to extract Street Fighter Alpha 3 (NTSC) down.. now I know it uses Libcrypt, because Clony told me so

But when i am ripping down the image.. in clonecd, using the LibCrypt profile.. it sits at 31% for about 3 hours..
then in the log it says "Cannot Read sector xxxx", finally it will get through to 100% 6-7 hours later..but when i try the cdr.. it just sits at the playstation logo..

and yes i checked.. my Yamaha 8424s is supported in CloneCD

would that be from the cd being scratched to hell? or is it just clonecd doing its thing with libcrypt..

Paul, are you out there? Can anyone help me?

Thanks
