Spyro YOTD (is this how you do it:)

[Jag]

Well what a load of crap in the replies so far! Well here goes.
Basically to stop people from chipping their PSX, programmers have put little bits of code in the boot sector which actually scans your PSX and says, HOW DARE YOU, YOU'VE GOT A CHIPPED MACHINE, and the legitemate game stops. Bummer Uh! anyway, they have got the 8 wire chip called the stealth chip, failling that buy a nice writer like a Yamaha, some decent disks, and back them up & patch them, then if the disk gets damaged you can make another. CDRWin in the best for patching, as long as your writer can read in raw mode. Have fun with Spyro, now that is a game worth buying!
