Issues with psx games

[Endo Pain]

So I've been trying to download games to a disc from emparadise and the disc swap doesn't work, wondering what im doin wrong b/c the disc just goes to a dead stop(the burned one)

I'm about to try a new game this one being http://www.emuparadise.me/Sony_Plays...al_Fantasy_VI_[NTSC-U]/36894-download

Final Fantasy 6 or VI

I used ECM tools to decode the .ecm to bin now i have these files.
Final Fantasy Anthology - Final Fantasy VI [NTSC-U] [SLUS-00900].ccd
Final Fantasy Anthology - Final Fantasy VI [NTSC-U] [SLUS-00900].img
Final Fantasy Anthology - Final Fantasy VI [NTSC-U] [SLUS-00900].sub
Which one do i burn to disc?

This is the first time i've seen these ones come in the download, normally it was either just bin file or cue and bin

Also my PS1 doesn't have mod-chip so i need to do the disc switct

any help would be greatly appreciated

[Zorlon]

You burn from the ccd file with ccd+img image, cue with cue+bin images

the game data is stored in the img same as bin's do, the ccd is just like a cue file but coded these contain a description of the types of data stored in the img or bin files

P.S. the single disc swap is not going to work with games that use CDDA, I don't think this is one of those games though

[Endo Pain]

Alright sir, I will try this. Jw though cuz i see you posting a lot for helping people with these. Is this game FF6 copy right where i need that .dll to bypass or no?

[Zorlon]

No Final Fantasy VI does not have any copy protection that needs to be bypassed

[Endo Pain]

Alright, I burned the .ccd file using imgburn on blank CD-RW 700mb. at 1x write speed. Everything seems to be fine with the burning like others seemed but now with the disc swap trick, after the first switch right when it goes black to the ps1 screen, the disc doesn't pick up speed like every other video is showing, it spins it(very slowly) 2 times(it will just stop if i don't witch to real disc), and then i switch to real boot disc, then it picks up, and on the slowdown i switch and the screen just stays black. and disc comes to a stop. Any idea why that's happening with every disc i burned? It's the SPCH-5701 model psx, tray modded, i just can't seem to ever get it to read any disc's burned

[Zorlon]

RW's is the issue use -R's

[Endo Pain]

Alright, hey i'm about to go and buy some CD-R's and I wanted to know, cuz i see these ones with Light scribe, if i should stay away from them or if it has no effect

[Zorlon]

As long as they are high grade it shouldn't make a difference though they will be more expensive than standard CD-R's, I would rather go with cheaper standard high grade CD-R's than taking a gamble with more expensive Light Scribe CD-R's

[Endo Pain]

Alright, I bought momorex CD-R 700mb 52x... i went to try, after buffer i got this error "miscompare and lba" I clicked continue through, (not finished yet) but wondering what that means and if it will threaten the disc's download.
P.S. thanks a lot for helping me out! Really appreciate it

[Endo Pain]

Ok it's working... but not quite. It doesn't make the disc come to a complete stop like the CD-RW. The first switch was good, picked up speed and then at slow down, switched to real disc until next black screen. Now here is where it's not working(i'll keep trying and lyk if it does) i switch at black screen with my disc and it stays spinning but doesn't load anything. Just stays black

Got it!!!! just was a little late that attempt i guess. Mow the cutscenes and sound during are alittle jumpy, i burned at 4x(i got 100 discs to use(should i have done at 1x?)

Now that one works.. but this other one, REsident evil survivor i got at coolrom and another i got from this site... both don't work right, I 18:31:57 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

that's the beginning for the first error but it happens a couple times and when i go to test, doesn't load up(the one from your site doesn't come with a cue file and so i had one created and it didn't work, when i played disc(from cool), said Software Terminated Console may have been modified call .. . . . . . after second swap

but the one i did from coolrom works on my espxe just fine, only had 5 mc's but somethings not working for the burn(tried for long time swapping)

[Zorlon]

Set the burn speed to 1x is always the best option but most burners will not burn at that speed but setting that will make it use the slowest possible speed

For me that's 10x for you that's 12x (P.S. what you had read about 4x is BS it depends on your hardware but the slowest burning speed will produce the best burns)

The cue files are come in the cue's and sbi's that are linked on the download page for the game, but I will link those for you here as well

cue's and sbi's


W 18:32:21 Write Speed Miscompare! - MODE SENSE: 2,117 KB/s (12x), GET PERFORMANCE: 8,467 KB/s (48x) You can ignore that one (12x is the minimum you can burn CD-R's at)
W 18:36:41 Note: The drive probably corrected the L-EC Area because it's wrong in the image file. can be caused from a bad disc image but that can also happen with good disc images as well
W 18:39:36 Miscompare at LBA: 55500, Offset: 1320, File: \X\VC\SCENE09.STR however is not good can be caused by bad disc images or bad CD-R's possibly just a bad burn that can happen at any time or even just something on the disc dust ect.. something that prevented the laser from making the burn correct

Miscompare at LBA ???? are the ones to worry about

EDIT: I will also give you to my ECM & APE guide to use as some of our PSX disc images use that format to make downloading quicker, those do need to be converted back to a format that can be burned.

If you want to check a disc image before burning you can verify it against the info at www.redump.org just look at the crc value and compare it to the bin or img file (this is harder to do with games that have the CDDA tracks inside a bin though and ecm files need converting before you try to verify)

[Endo Pain]

I got a bunch of games working, FF6, MGS:1, Diablo, WC2, Evil Dead, but even after trying a fourth site, RE: Survivor get's that msg that it "Software Terminated Console may have been modified" . That's the main game i want to get to work too any recommendations for a place that it will work? Don't wanna post sites i tried but rh cr ep and iz.

[Zorlon]

lolz should of said it's copy protection in the game no amount of re-downloading will fix that, unless you get the PAL-E version that is not copy protected (though it does have a patch file but not sure what it fixes if anything), P.S. the NTSC U version does not have Light Gun support but the PAL version does

or you can patch the game disc image with ppfomatic

I have attached the patch for you including the tool used to patch with

You can find most patches at http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?67412 but you will need to use *.* all files instead of *.ppf to show the patch file as I renamed all of the patches in that thread so they would work with ePSXe

[Endo Pain]

Arlgiht, I'm going to try that, see if it works. So i patch the bin file with the one from your link then attempt to write image to cd to be sure?

there are two files, would it be the SLUS_10.87 that i put into the patcher

dude thanks! it works now Well i don't think i need any other games atm i got a good amount to hold me for a while. Glad you're around

[Zorlon]

Yeah I was in bed when you last posted but yeah it's the SLUS file that is the patch file, they are just named like that for ePSXe use, it is still a good list to use so you know if the game has copy protection not all games have patches though there are a few that don't.

Happy you got it working though
