Everyone in the Mac world,heres the way

Get astarte cd-copy 2.0 and any version of toast. Start up cd-copy,insert the game into your computer,it will then show up on astarte's screen. Highlight the edit menu and select "select all" but before you start to save it make sure that ignore all read errors is turned on. With it all selected, go under file and select save. save it in a new file. If it says something about adjusting all track gaps just say okay. After it finishes saving open up Toast and select multitrack cd-rom xa.
Then open up the file with the game in it and select the iso(could show up as slus or scus,but that doesnt matter) and drop it in the toast screen. If the iso(slus/scus) is the only file there then just click write cd(2x or 4x) and write the disc and presto,you have a perfect back up. But if you have some audio tracks listen up,after you drop the iso into toast, then select audio tracks and just drop the audio tracks in the proper order. Thats it.

i don't know about mac but for ignore all read errors you should never have errors on a psx games if you have error on a psx game the game is damage in some way so you will never get a true copy

If you dont put "ignore all read errors on" than astarte will pick up the smallest scratch and stop saving. You can succesfully make a back up of every single playstation game,and you dont have to patch anything like you do in the pc world.

I've just tried your way and it didn't work for me. I'm trying to back up g-police. I did all the things you outlined in you post and counldn't get the game to run using Connectix VSG 1.4.1 emulator on my G4. is there some other patch or something I have to use to get a copied psx game to work with this (or any) emulator? Help would be appreciated.

as far as having to patch in the pc world. i have had my modchip for a year and I have never had to patch one game yet, and I have burned about 80 games so far and they all work great!!
