making a backup of spyro 3

willis · #1 05-01-2001, 23:15

i used cdrwin to create a backup of spyro 3. i applyed the ppf patch with the ppf o matic. when i tried to play the first game i copied the music in the background and the speaking of characters was extremely jarbled up. i used auto for the jitter protection. thinking this was the problem i then enabled it for the next backup i made and it totally removed the music and the audio of the characters speaking. i have not a clue what to do next. someone who has solved this problem please help. i am somewhat of a newbie but i have more research hours than most before these two attempts. thanks

ok, you did better than me with your backup. I got a startup screen that says I did the crack right but then nothing after that. Is that normal?

If you're talking about the PAL patch by BAD, apparently it's...well bad, and doesn't work

No one else seems to have taken on the PAL challenge, so it looks like us Euros are going to have to do without

Look at http://koolkrakkz.tsx.org/ .
There is a brandnew (non B.A.D.) patch for spyro 3 pal/euro which supposed to work 100%.

By the way, I'm still searching for a spyro 2 ("gateway to glimmer", not "ripto's rage") pal/euro.

The B.A.D. patch that could be found nearly everywhere doesn't match (in fact I guess it's for the ntsc/uk release of the game, which is named "ripto's rage").

I was looking for the NTSC version to backup my game. I've done a ton of backups but I'm having a rough time with Spyro 3. Questions I have;

1. can I put a toggle switch on mod chip?

2. Is there a working crack for the us version?

Do you have a "MODCLIP" or a "Modchip"?

If yo have a "modclip" which is like the gameshark, you can just ad
the bypass codes. E-mail me if you need them

Duggie, I have a modchip.

I used the B.A.D. ppf on the UK/PAL version of Spyro 3 and it works 100%

As far as I know it was Paradox's first released ppf which had the problems, but thats been fixed now.

Try the NEW 100% Paradox patch! It should work. Get it at www.gamefreax.de.

I have tried all PPF files for Pal version and none have worked

On one of the other post here Spyro 2 "Glimer" the bad patch works.

@Sunsoar:
That's surprising.... I only found the b.a.d. patch for the so called pal/euro version of spyro 2, which supposed to be called "ripto's rage".
But it just produces coasters for the version where I dumped my image.
In fact, burning the unpatched image to cdr let me play spyro 2 til the second world/level (summer forest), but when I try to leave this level, the game freezes with a black screen. Others reported the same...

When I apply the b.a.d. patch, the cdr isn't recognized by my psone.

Gandalf I'm trying to find the patch i used and will send link when i have but I have finished my patched spyro 2 version.

On my PC all i can find is the BAD spyro 2 euro patch which was released on the 14-11-99.
