Simply Putting It I Need "help"

[Adu]

Thanks a lot for that response.Sorry for the delay in acknowledging that, but i was a way for the weekend.

Your reply helped, but i do have another question....do i hear you say, "OH no!!!!"

From what you said, i understand now that Clone CD makes real 1:1 copies, but that bcos some titles have anti-mod protection, they will not load in a modded console, and so Clone CD copies will suffer the same fate also!!!!Hence the need for patching.

Whereas CDWIN copies do not do a real 1:1 copy and so require patching not only for anti-mod protection detection, but also for other protectin present...eg. Libcrypt etc....

Is this correct, or am i still confused????????

Also, when you say REGION CODE protection, do you mean the PAL Vs NTSC patching issue????

Finally, i have heard that PAL TV user can buy a fully loaded Scart Lead which means they don't have to patch...Is this true??

But wouldn't they still need the appropriate mod-chip in order to play the backed up game, given the boot sequence protection,

and would a seperate mod-chip be also required in order to boot correctly to the region governing the PS you have also????

Hope to get your input on this one

Thanks in advance.
