Spyro the Dragon 3 backup probs

[CyberMick]

Hi im trying to back up my Spyro the Dragon 3 for my PSX i have the old 9002 model and basically what happens after the game loads you get the title screen when u press the button to start the game it locks.

I have used all the patches from this site but nothing seems to work.

I am experianced at burning and patching using ppf-o-matic and this is the only game that has given me trouble.

Is there some new protection used in this game as i have heard Sony have put some kind of protection to do with the auto save feature.

I am based in the U.K and have the PAL euro version of the game.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanx in advance.
