Problems burning iso

You may need to make sure the region matches your system e.g. U games only with a NTSC-U console, (E) only if your console is PAL-E & (J) only if you own a NTSC-J console, this usually is only for either badly installed mod chips or the early ones for the PSone console

You can try Import Player if you wish just to test this out, just make sure you get the one for your region

Import Player can be found here

Burn that disc at the slowest speed you can... burn it via the cue file not the bin file.. make sure both *.bin & *.cue are in the same folder

Import Player was originally made for the PSone issue with early mod chips that only supported the region that the console was made for. I strongly recomend you try that before burning another copy of Castlevania

There are boot code tools (Patch-It) you can use for future burns if you can display the wrong region games in colour, if not then recomend you try and keep your games to the same region as your console to avoid any sync problems from forcing display to 50Hz/60Hz [From either patching the display or via Import Player] (doing so can also make some games freeze up)

Lastly but unlikely that you are using a bad CD media that isn't any good for PSX burning

Personly had even very cheap CD's working ok on console though they tend not to last as long as more quality media, think I have only ever had one bad batch of CD's that refused to work at all so it does happen

Since no one mentioned this yet, have you tried the game on an emulator to see if it runs?

Get epsxe and try to load the game see what happens.. Even though its possibly bad media it could also be that the game file was corrupted when downloading, so you might as well run it through the emu and see if its OK, just to make sure.

You ARE using CD-Rs, right?
CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW won't work

hey yo

yeah, all the info was rly helpful, i tried to burn the disc again with slowest speen but it didnt work so i think it must be a region compativility.
I checked out the import player thing but i dont know how it works, i downloaded it and it has a .cue and a .bin file too, how do i make it work suppousing i have the version i need of the game?.

by the way, my psx version is NTC U/C.

Just Make sure your downloads are NTSC-U or (U) depends on how they lable them, including Import Player, get the NTSC version and burn it via the cue sheet

Think of Import Player as a boot CD so you start that up first then change discs then start game in Import Player that should boot up the disc that is inserted

You should be able to boot up Castlevania that way

Did you remember to burn the cue? If not, it might be swap trickable, not chipped.
