Tenchu PSX PAL UK backup problems

[Anthonyuk]

I was wondering if anyone can help with a problem i am having backing up Tenchu Stealth Assassins for the PSX.

I have a DMS3 modded PS2 and i have bought (for the third time now ) Tenchu Stealth Assassins. It was one of my favourite games and both the two other times I owned it, they became damaged due to excessive use and poor handling by me.

But i wanted to back up this game now to make sure i never need to buy it a fourth time. It is the original black surface PSX game i have. UK PAL version.

I treid the very latest version of Slysoft CloneCD, using both the game backup profile and a custom libracrypt profile i found on the net. But on both backups the game would initially seemingly load fine except to the part when i actually went to start a playing the first level of the game as it would not load up past this. And a black loading screen would come up and not leave

I then tried the original and this played fine.

I then tried backing it up with the latest Alcohol120%, and the exact same thing happend (i used the Playstation copy format in Alcohol).

I have tried looking at it on ClonyXXX and it says my Tenchu disk is Libracrypt protected. But on googling i have found people say this game is not protected at all.

I have attempted to try the latest (4.0C) CDrwin, where i have ripped the disk to a bin file but both my burners are not supported with this application so i cant burn with it (i have a benq 1650 and NEC 3540) so i cant burn the image. But dont want to waste another CDR on doing this.

It is not just Tenchu i am having the problem with. The same loading problem is occuring with the PSX Metal Gear Solid 1 Game. And for Tony Hawk the music on the backup is constantly jumping and skipping. These where all also backed up with CloneCD.

However PSX Doom and Final Doom i have backed up with CloneCD works fine.

Any suggestions on how to get a working backup of these games.

Thanks
Anthony
