Burning PSX ISOs With CloneCD?

[Nub]

I thought I knew how but I don't. Which mode thingy do you burn the game as? A game CD? Data CD? Moo? I tried burning them as a game CD with different speeds and data CD but my PSX tells me to put in a Playstation format disc.

ok I got this from a web site one time but I don't remember which one


Here are the instructions to make a working backup of most Protected CDs using CloneCD 4 in combination with a CD-Reader/CD-Writer which can both can handle DAO-RAW:

Create the following directory (if it exists already empty it):
C:\TEMP\CD
Create a CD-Image using CloneCD 4 with these Game CD settings:
Data Read Settings Tab:
Set Read Speed Data to 1x (176 kByte/s)
Select Read SubChannel Data from Data Tracks (default)
Select Regenerate Data Sectors (default)
Audio Read Settings Tab:
Set Read Speed Audio to 1x (176 kByte/s)
Set Audio Extraction Quality to Medium (Fast) (default)
Select Read SubChannel Data from Audio Tracks (default)
UnSelect Only read the first Session (default)
Error Handling Tab:
Set Fast Error Skip to Automatic (default)
Set Sector Skip to 100 (default)
UnSelect Abort on Read Error (default)
Select Don't report read errors (default)
Select Intelligent Bad Sector Scanner (default)
When ready burn the modified CD-Image a CD-R using CloneCD 4 with these Game CD settings:
Set Write Speed to any desired speed
Select Don't Repair SubChannel Data (default)
Select Always close last Session
Play the game!

It still says insert Playstation format disc.

Data CD ISO Mode 2 and raw format (Should default to Raw format anyway) if that helps but never used Clone CD I tend to stick to Nero the burn speed shouldn'd effect it too much but if it is stick to 2x speed

Also the PSX does not use long file names that I remember (I will double check when I get back home though.)

Have you tested the ISO by the way with an Emulator.

If it works fine why not use a CD Emulator err... like Deamon Tools and attatch it then just do a Copy CD from the Deanom tools CD drive (Listed as a DVD drive if I remember correctly)

Note:- you may need to convert the ISO format aswell. I'm not at home so I can not confirm this at the moment.

[Nub]

Yeah, I've tested the games on ePSXe. I'll try burning the games as a data CD and I've tried doing the CD copy with Daemon Tools.

[Zorlon]

Do your none working burns work ok with an emu?

Hmm and what are you using to play your games?
e.g's (There's a few ways) PSX (big gray) with chip or Action Replay/Game Shark or Boot CD, PSone (lil white) with chip or chip & Import Player or PSone with Boot CD or even a PS2 (Big Black ROFL) with chip or Action Replay 2/Gameshark 2 swop trick or Boot CD.

(When I say Boot CD I'm talking about CD that is on a Propper PSX format CD not a CDR CD(It has several names for it but a chip was not needed to use it))

Is you Playstation Pluged in.....

But really is your Playstaion Mod'ed.. if so with what..

[mj_1107]

first check to see if iso is a good iso(check thru the emulator using daemon tools 3.29) if it works right, then open clonecd and with the iso still mounted in d-tools, copy disc to disc. 1x copy game cd and viola presto psx cd on cdr...if that doesnt work, try either nero 5.5.9.0 or cdrwin. i use nero personally and have the copy instructions for just nero

(* replace "cd" to the .iso or .image file thats mounted in the d-tools)

Okay, I tried burning teh ISOs with Alcohol 120% and they work a bit better. Instead of saying insert a Playstation format disc it goes to the memory card/CD player screen. Is it doing that 'cause my PSOne is PAL and I'm trying to run NTSC games on it?

[Zorlon]

Import Player time....
get it from http://www.megagames.com/psx/psx_utils_bootcd.shtml then burn it on CD before you make more coffee mats LOL

Your other Burns have probly worked fine but by the way..

You usually see the RED Insert Playstation CD screen on the PSone for either inserting a non PSX CD or a PSX CD that is NTSC (If your PSone is PAL that is)

Wishes you said that before.

[Nub]

I didn't think it mattered 'cause I thought chips are s'posed to make NTSC games work on PAL PSXs. Well, thankyou very much Mr. Zorlon, I think the games are fixed.

[Zorlon]

Yeah I thought that aswell (Me got one of those silly lil white things too and chipped to boot.)

[Nub]

Yay! They work! Thankyou so much Zorlon!

[Zorlon]

Cool I'm just glad I could help out.
