Compatibility prob with some CD's and writers ??

[bezzaxx]

first choose an original game that is quite old (1-2 year +) also make it a game that is not a main stream title (not by sony) and must be in good working condition (hardly any scratches).
All these parameters make it a good candidate for easy first time copying. I did my first ever back up using the Wipeout 1 game.
Now use clone cd. look at the post titled 'problem with cd clone' this will tell u on which settings to use.. If all this does not work then it could be your cd writer.
ps. Have you tried other copied games on ur psx that u have not done (ie- a friends game) if the psx doesnt load the game but it loads on ur friends machine then its your chip or your psx laser needs Calibrating!
