help with ps1

[24seven]

Ok folks,, To clarify.. CLONECD WILL make a good backup for games that are not modchip protected.. Just always read subchannel audio and Read subchannel data.. (just to make sure) Clone cd will tell you if your burner has these capabilities if you click DISK INFO or READER INFO or whatever.) if it says (NO next to reads subchannel data then your screwed.) Use something else.. Anything.. I've used every program out there to burn psx games and I have over 85 of them so I know for a fact that they do.. Any game that is MODCHIP PROTECTED, you MUST use a patch. There is only 1 way around. You can use the Gameshark CD (or regular gameshark from store). Just go to ~####://cmgsccc.com/psx/ to get the codes and get the gameshark cd at megagames under PSX UTILITIES.. There is one game that doesn't have a patch for it yet,,,"NHL FACEOFF 2001" (FOR NTSC) that is modchip protected.>>Being that there is no patch I thought I was ####ed.. WRONG>> I used the Gameshark CD and entered the Correct code for it and it boots like a charm.. That code is found at the above website (minus the ~)..That's the only way I know of that you can get around a NON PATCHED Game..Otherwise you HAVE to patch if one is available of course.. You can use Clonecd to patch it with as well as the more popular CDRWIn. You just browse to the IMAGE file CLone creates instead of .BIN that CDRWIN creates.. Clone creates a IMAGE file,a .ccd file, and a .img file.. The IMAGE file is the one you want to patch.. It says it doesn't match file sizes but I patched GAMEDAY 2001 this way just fine.. I couldn't get CDRWIN to patch it correctly for some reason,tried clone and it works fine. If you get errors burning with CDRWIN, USE FIREBURNER found at ~####://www.elaboratebytes.com to burn your .BIN and .cue file back to disk..How is explained in severl other posts on this board I've made.. But just make sure you always download the RIGHT patch.. NTSC for US versions and PAL for Europe and JAP for japanese.. And the gameshark cd is one you all should have just to have.. Cuz sometimes there just ain't no patch fo ya.. And just to verify, if you play a modchip protected game and are using the ORIGINAL disk IT WILL PLAY JUST FINE.. If it doesn't you need to hold down RESET for 3 seconds and the modchip will be bypassed and it will load fine.. As for 1 to 1 copies,, if they didn't all make 1 to 1 copies then the shit wouldn't work... That's just a slogan to get people to buy there shit.. Nero,EZ CD,CDRWIn, all of them make 1 to 1 copies as if they didn't we wouldn't even have this forum to talk about how to back up a cd..
Also,,calling people names isn't very much support for a forum that is trying to support and help others.. leading them in the right direction is all that needs to be done.. But I must say the post did not make one bit of sence.. If your game doesn't require a patch then yes, clonecd will burn it just fine. and so will the other programs.. But not everyone is from the same place so a game in the US may not need a patch but someone in Europe may need one.. so keep that in mind.. A good tool also found at elaboratebytes is CLONECD Database.. It has settings for any previously backed up disks that other people had success using with CLoneCD.. So use the settings they did and you'll be just fine.. Well,, if theres' any more questions i'd be glad to help and i promise not to call you an idiot as most of us didn't know what the hell we were doing when we started so just take yourself back to the day you tried this shit and remember the dificulties...
