Ok. If this is in the wrong thread, I apologize ahead of time.
I downloaded a bittorrent (final fantasy ix) earlier today, and burnt it to a disc. It loads up to the main screen (only if I open the disc during the opening scene), but after clicking on 'new' it goes to a black screen, and does nothing else.
:( What can i do?
You playing on an emulator or real PSX?
The original Playstation
With what--mod chip or swap trick?
And what did you use to burn it?
there's a mod chip.
Sorry, I'm a little new to this forum talking.
That's alright.
What app did you burn it with?
People recommend Alcohol for burning because it can handle most formats--here's a burning guide.

You should also burn using the lowest speed that your burner will allow.
Oh...I used CloneCd to burn it.
I burnt it a x4...although it could've went to x1...
I've heard alot of anti-alcohol things, and alot of pro-clonecd...
My first attempt was pretty much a waste of my life...since I used nero, and tried making a data disk...
(i'm new to this burning thing. Normally i just emulate...)
Triple post lolz.
What discs are you using? (brand, eg: verbatim, etc)
Philips CD-R 52x 700mb 80min.
Try playing the burned disc in an emulator just to see if it works.
I don't know where to get good psx emulator...I've never used one of those before. I just have RockNES, and Visualboy Advance
Have you tried cleaning the laser lens with a CD Cleaner?
Or maybe the image was faulty. You haven't really done anything wrong, and aren't using bad media. SegNin, explain CDmage :p
Easiest PSX emulator: pSXfin 1.11
The FF9 torrent from here works or we'd get an assload of complaints about it.
So, CDMage isn't going to help.
Here's where you can find pSX Emulator (yes, that's its official name):

Wait, did you get the torrent from here or somewhere else?
You can give ePSXe a try: http://epsxe.com/download.phpQuote:

The PAL version of FF IX was protected, if I recall correctly, you'd need to patch the image file before burning it: http://www.megagames.com/psx/psx_patches_f.shtml
is yours the pal version?
I have no idea, to be honest. I got the FFIX off this site. I don't know much beyond it.
Being an American, I always forget that about the PAL version.
Also, you can't play PAL versions on a NTSC only TV, which is what most US TV's are.
edit--
FireFox just keeps randomly crashing on me :bang:
Anyway, since you got the torrent from here, it's NTSC., so forget the PAL stuff we just mentioned.
What exactly is a PAL version?
I'm in Canada. I'm kinda dull-witted and need all the knowledge I can get. Alot of PSX games are hard to find around here. I paid 40 bucks just to get a really damaged copy of FFVII...
So, if someone is kind enough, even generous enough, to help me out. :) I'd owe you
PAL = Europe = 50 Frames Per Second
NTSC = US, Canada, Japan = 60 Frames Per Second.
If you open the Disc or ISO and look for the serial number, a file named SLUS or SLES or similar followed by a number, that will tell you if the game is PAL or NTSC.
If the 3rd letter is U then it's US.
If the 3rd letter is P, it's Japan.
If the 3rd letter is E, it's Europe.
You can open the disc by putting it in your comp's CD drive and Exploring it.
For ISO's, mount to a virtual drive, then Explore the virtual drive to find it.

Ok. I've run the ISO off, and it works perfectly...
Well, almost perfectly. How do I slow down ePSXe? It goes crazy speeds.
"Settings -> Video -> Auto Detect Frame Limit"
Config > Video > Configure > Use FPS Limit
For ePSXe, that is.
Hey! It works. I guess I'm not going to use 'em on my psx.
Thanks guys for:
1) Helping me out in my time of need.
2) Not making me feel utterly stupid about it.
I owe you!
