MAJOR PATCH HELP

[418]

I need someone to explain how to patch psx games in detail. Most sites just have the program and no instructions. I need the instructions. So if you can help me out then that would be great. Also how do you use clone cd or blind read\write??

u need CDRWIN and PPF-O-Matic u can find them at www.megagames.com at Playstation/patches

In the CDRWIN - CDROM Recording Tools window click Extract Disc/Tracks/Sectors to Image File....Settings:
Extract Modeisc Image/cuesheet
CD.reader:choose your burner,its best.
Image file:C:\TEMP\image
Reading Option:RAW
Error Recovery:Ignore
Jitter Correctionisable
Subcode Analysisisable
Data Speed:MAX
Audio Speed:MAX
Read Retry Count:0
Subcode Threshold:300
now press START.

When ur PC is done reading and saving on ur harddisk now close the CDRWIN and open WinZip
I hope u know how to use WInZip.Extract the PPF into the C:\TEMP and close the WinZip.

Now open PPF-O-Matic and find ur Image at C:\TEMP\image and press enter,now find ur PPF file that's in C:\TEMP and press enter.

When ur done,press APPLY.
Now ur game is patched.Close PPF-O-Matic and open CDRWIN again and select Record Disc.

All u have to do now is to put a TDK or Verbatim blank CD-R and "Load Cuesheets" from C:\TEMP\image and press record

I hope this helps.

Thanks I really like the step by step. I've tried this same way to burn before but it won't work. I've been using Imagination disc's and Sony and Memorex. And they all don't work. But my friend had burned some games for me before on tdk that still works on my PS.

You might want to try reading and writing at a slower speed. My burner will not make working copies any faster than at 4x writing speed.

I have never had any problems with burning some of my games at 8x speed.But real important games I burn at slower speed.When I use CDRWIN I burn at 1x cause I have a demo version.
I use WinOnCD quadrat 3.7 and all my games work.My reading Speed is at 32x always.So I dont realy know what is wrong with ur burner.

my burner is capable of 6x writing speed. I think that the quality of the cd-r's is a factor in how fast I can burn a good working game. I use memorex gold cd-r's and can burn upto 4x speed and get a working copy. Or if I use tdk cd-r's, i can only burn upto 2x speed and get a working copy. anything faster and sometimes the audio is choppy. But, If i am just copying audio or making backup software for the computer, I can burn at 6x speed with no apparent problems. I have heard of other people having to burn at a slower speed to get working copies of psx games. What do you think? I have an internal scsi yamaha 6x 4x 16x cd-wr.

Maybe it is may burner. I have a Creative Blaster 8432. I am going to try and get a Plextor and some Tdk discs as well. By the way I have the first version of Playstations ever made.
