Rend,
thx man, i forgot about these mod chipz. So, i asked the shop where i got it and they said it has been mod-ded already. I brought it back to them and the guy tested some of his 'backups'
, he said that it was a bad burn, and not the console. He recommended using cdrwin and clone cd with some clony plugin. cdrwin doesnt recognize my burner. I tried using clonecd with the clony plugin- it picked up the cd, recognized the type of cd, adjusted the settings and asked me to burn. I did both, image to the harddrive and then to cdr, and copy on the 'fly'. Both turned out more coasters. It did get to the second PStation screen though, but then it froze.
I'm not a gamer, (other than mame arcade stuff), and only interested in backing up those $ 60 + dollar games for the kidz.
I pick up my cd's in bulk, so its not so much turning out coasters, if i dont really need to anyway, but rather the frustration of it not working.
ZtR....
