Final Fantasy 9 (pal/UK ver.)

[chosen one]

ok, before i start,
i copy games ALL THE TIME, and i never had any problems copying games whatsoever, BUT final fantasy 9 is keeping me up at night because i cant copy the sucker, i tried easy cd creator, clone CD, Nero5, AND CdrWIN, without any succes. This amazes me since most games like parasite eve2 can be easily copied without a patch by using CLONECD.

i have also made images with CDRWIN and used the spanish *protection fix* patch on the images and i have then burned them on CD (i used ppf-O-matic), with no result, i get to see some lame commodore 64 animation (done by the crackers), and then the screen turns black and stays that way

is there a big difference between the spanish and the english(UK) version of ff9??
i think there is since ppf_O-matic said something about the image being different then the image it was meant to be used for, when i used the patch.
i used it anyway since there is no patch for UK version out yet, but it doesnt work

does anyone know if and WHEN a UK version *protection fix* patch will be released??

also if anyone has found a way to copy ff9(UK VERSION!!), plz send me an email in which u describe how you did it.

thanks in advance. peace.
