Hi; i have some copies of psx games that are getting old, some of them will not play anymore.
Is there a program that can fix them in order to be able to burn them again?.
they have no scratch or something similar, they just will not play anymore
thankz

Just copy your original.

Maybe your laser assy is just getting worn out then.

No, because I tried the games in 2 other psx systems.
thank you

There is really no point in copying games that don't work anymore.
What makes you think the copies have any chance of working?

because when you have another kind of cd you can repair it with a program called cdrepair or cd check or something like that, but it won't work with my psx games.

I have a stack of CDR’s that do not run good on most Playstations. Because most PC CD-ROM Drives read better than PSX lasers (PSX lasers are weak as hell !), it is quite reasonable to think that you can read these CDR BACKUPS on your PC without too much trouble and create new CDR Backups that are good enough to read with a PSX Laser. In fact I have done this very thing, many times! Should work, especially if you have no scratches, they are just weak burns. Weak burns or media + Weak PSX Lasers = Read Errors !

No need to haul out those original CD’s! ;-)

And don't use those cheap french Dollarama CDR's !!

Actually I judt did that with one cd, I made an image and burnt it again and it is playing fine, sadly i don't have anymore blank cds right now, so i will have to wait to see if it works with all my games.
Thank you for the info about the lasers and I will buy better quality cds next time.
