crash bash?????

patch from game copy world does not work. does any one no how to beat this beast......

i pretty sure that it does work man.

[pruitts]

I downloaded the patch yesterday and tried it. It did not work for me either! I have an older U.S. Playstation with an older modchip.
I wondered if a newer modchip would make the difference...
I have read several feedbacks on this forum where half the people say that Crash Bash runs fine for them, the other half says it does not...
Is anyone with a U.S. Playstation (NTSC format) currently running a backup copy of this game? If so did you have to apply a patch or was it simply a direct copy? I have been waiting for months for a good patch for this game!

I have made 2 coasters so far the patch although ppf says its been corrected it just doesn't work.
The startup has changed and I get the smiley face and then some text about "Is it 4:20 yet" and then the game freezes and says the console has been modified.
Please help the kids are killing me!!!!

I copyed it when it first came out,patched it with gamecopyworld patch and have had no problems

Again as warlock said no probs for me, i have an original psx 100x and a newer 550x with two different hex files, and yes the patch worked fine.
However, Being in the UK i used the pal patch and not the ntsc one. are you guys using the correct patch? (easy mistake)
If all U.S. members have encountered this problem with crash bash then i would have thought we would have heard about it by now, but im not saying that there isnt a problem with it.

instead of applying patches that dont work and wasting cd-rs just use gameshark codes.

I downloaded the patch from Megagames: "crashb.zip"--Crash Bash Protection Fix, US NTSC, 12KB, BH.

I tried burning the patched .BIN file but I get the same problem as SPIKE: "The startup has changed and I get the smiley face and then some text about "Is it 4:20 yet" and then the game freezes and says the console has been modified."

Can you tell me the exact steps I need to take to get this to work?

I have the original psx 7501 model and am using HP CD-Writer Plus with CDRWIN. I have no problems playing other patched games. (Where do I find whether my machine is 100x or 550x?)

I have a feeling everyone who got it to work seems to be using the PAL patch and not the US NTSC patch.

BTW, how the the gameshark thing work?

[spooky]

Your PSX is not a 100x or a 550x you mentioned that it was a 7501, well this is the model number of you PSX. 750 is the model and 1 is its region. 1 defines NTSC and 2 defines PAL. 100x and 550x were just two of the models released before the 750x and 900x

I also use an HP writer and CDRWin so it looks as if the trouble is due to the patch.

Have any US members got a working backup of CRASH BASH with a mod chip installed?

[hojoe]

i have a 9001 with a mod chip installed and
i have crash bash i just copyed it and played it no patch required

[Warlock]

I have the us version and i had to patch it to get around the mod-chip protection

[spooky]

i suspect hojoe used clonecd,

Warlock did u use the patch from GCW?

[Warlock]

sure did spooky,i copyed the game when it first came out.the patch worked fine for me

if you get a "smile face" and the game doesn't load you most likely have a fake patch. use gs codes to get past the anti-mod protection.

[spooky]

ok then, Warlock got the US patch to work, and he used the same patch as everyone else in the US, then i can see only two real reasons for the trouble that the rest of you are having.

1, There are sometimes differences between retail and rental versions of the same game and if there is and the game was cracked using a retail version then it may not work when trying to back up a rental copy. (this happend with Spyro 2 and Speed Freaks in the UK).

2, The other reason is a bit more indepth and would require those affected to change there mod chip for one with a more reliable code as there have been many advances from the original.

Hope you lads get it sorted soon.
