Are there any fixed versions of all 3 original Spyro games?

[voorhees_13]

I've heard all of these games have problems, are there any fixed versions of all three? I've been wanting to replay these games for a while.

[Zorlon]

Only no 3 that I know of has copy protection for all regions, will check when I'm at my place

NTSC versions of the others are fine though

I am sure there is a patch for 3 should be on the forum in the guides stuck thread in this section

Retroarch is possibly the best option for these games

From what I've read, the 3rd game only had issues on non stealth modded consoles. Here's a patch for the 3rd game, and a nice article that explains the copy protection.

I actually like the copy protection notice in that game and the sly way it works

Thanks Jack saves me the trouble of looking for the patch

[voorhees_13]

so 1 and 2 have no issues and it's only 3 that i should download the patch for?

also, what exactly do i do with that patch? how do i use it?

some users in the comments on spyro 2 on the main site were saying that spyro 2 has a loud ringing whenever someone talks to you, could this just be a bad rip of the game?

bad emulation setup that is all

bad emulation setup that is all

bad as in, just a bad version or is there an actual bad setup

so i put the patch files https://imgur.com/a/PVfkC into a folder i made https://imgur.com/a/4k7Qf and when i went to run it in ePSXe only the Spyro 3 files showed up, so I then started the game and i went to the usual spot Zoe would tell you that the game is cracked, and she wasn't there (although I went right when the game let me move around so I'm not sure if I have to do anything first) but did this fix it?

huh, i just tested if the anti piracy message would appear without the patch in the folder and it stayed the same as when I put the patch files into the folder.... do i have to trigger it somehow otherwise or is the 1.1 version a version without the anti-piracy protection (someone in the comments on the main site said that it was reuploaded with a fixed version but there’s conflicting comments on if it works or not :/)

[Zorlon]

Because ePSXe is highly configurable yes there are tons of bad configuration setups that might be good for one game but bad for another, a good reason not to use ePSXe to be honest, that is why I mentioned Retroarch

All versions of Spyro 3 have that protection built in, I am sure you have to play the game a bit before she shows though and was sure she shows up anyway at the point with and without the protection cracked, it has been some years since I played that game though

[voorhees_13]

Was that the correct way of applying that patch, though? I’m still new to patching stuff, I’ve never done it before

[Zorlon]

No you did not patch anything from what I can tell

Use PPF-o-Matic to apply PPF patches to a CD image

[voorhees_13]

No you did not patch anything from what I can tell

so like this? https://imgur.com/a/2iqt9 (the game is classified as a .BIN file) since I don’t have a CD burner/CD how does this work as it tells me to “now burn the disc”

huh, i started up the game and it gave me the choice to choose between PAL or NTSC and I picked NTSC and a weird screen by "Best Amiga Dominators" came up and if I press X I get some kind of opcode error and I can't skip that intro :/

is it because I have the patch for the PAL region but I'm playing an NTSC region game?

[bvanharjr]

Yeah, it is. Besides, NTSC is faster (63 fps vs 50-something.93)

[voorhees_13]

Yeah, it is. Besides, NTSC is faster (63 fps vs 50-something.93)

so i'm just testing playing through the NTSC version with no patches and Zoe has not appeared in the room in the starting area near the water to tell me the message, so has the game I got from EP truly been re-dumped as a fixed copy? If I'm correct it should happen immediately when you enter that room, right? I'm just so confused on what the hell to do, every NTSC patch I use I keep getting opcode errors

[Zorlon]

Then you have the wrong patch a patch for the PAL version is not going to work with the NTSC version or vice versa

I have ePSXe cracks if you want to try those out at https://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?67412

just extract the patch of choice to the patches folder of ePSXe and make sure in ePSXe that under Options that Auto load ppf is enabled (because they are also trainer patches a menu should pop up, I would test those and make sure the trainers are working because there is more than 1 version of the game)

Like I said Zoe will pop up regardless as part of the games story

The game will seem to run just fine for some time but it will not let you complete the game and not because of Zoe but because you can't collect enough gems or whatever to proceed past a certain point

There is pretty much all the patches for the PSX.

Regarding RetroArch , I highly suggest you set it up as its pretty much the definitive method to play PSX games.

Feel free to ask me if you get stuck.
