    Default PSX Protection Fix for Modded Console

    Hi, new here.
    So I tried to back up an Original CD Spyro 2: Gateway To Glimmer, and as soon as I boot up and dont do anything it goes to black screen after the Demo Mode loading screen.
    I've researched it in many forums, tried to patch the .bin files with PPF o Matic 3. (ApplyPPF.exe doesnt work cuz i have no 32bit system nearby) and PPF o Matic doesnt do anything. As soon as I boot up, theres is a custom shit coming after the Playstation symbol by B.A.D. I guess.. still doesnt do shit. Also, the black screen appears when I enter certain levels.
    I've read that not only spyro, but many other games that I own also have this damn protection shit.
    Does anybody know how I can fix all that?
    It would be very much appreciated if you could help me out here

    PPFoMatic doesn't do stuff on its own, it's a tool to apply patches you find. Here, I'll attach the patch for the NTSC-U version of Spyro 2 to this post. If you bump into other games that are protected you need to Google for their patches, or ask for them.

    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    Use PPFoMatic. On the Patch line, click the floppy disc and point it at the PPF file. Then on the ISO line point it at your BIN file. Click "Apply" and give it a moment to work, then burn your fixed game.

    First of all, that didnt work. Even applying on my friends 32 bit tablet, it says that its succeeded patching, but the actual .bin file didnt change and after burning it the black screen is still there.
    The thing is, I want the EU version of the game, cuz Spyro 1 and 3 are also EU and all other games I own obviously, too. Patching these PSX games are the hardest shit ever for me, nothing works

    K, European version PPF attached.

    It doesn't rename the file or anything, but the modified timestamp should update, and I just looked at the details on the European Spyro 2. An unmodified .bin downloaded from the mainsite has a CRC of D7443009 (which is correct/matches Redump), patching it changes it to 361F4ADA, so it's definitely changed.
