Here is a good guide for CDRWin written by my friends at http://www.psxforum.com.... This ought to help you... If this doesn't help, then you need to look into your hardware. Let me know how it goes...
CDRWin 4.0 PSX COPY GUIDE
Burning Unprotected PSX Games
Before you start, you need to know if your PSX game is protected or not. By protected, I mean, not having the anti-mod copy protection that some newer games have. After you find out whether it's protected or not, open CDRWin. I will now explain the technique for copying an UNPROTECTED PSX game.
- Click the 'backup disc' (1) option, (it looks like this)
- Make sure that 'Copy to Image and record' (1) is checked, and that raw mode is selected (2). (as shown here)
- I recommend you use your CD writer for both reading and writing the CD. So click it, for both reading and writing. (3) (See the above picture)
- Now, set 'Error Recovery' (4) to Ignore, and set the 'Read retry count' (5) to 50 (like Above)
- Make sure that Data and Audio speed reading (6) is set to 1X (just like the above picture)
- This is a step of crutial importance, SET WRITING SPEED TO 1X (7) (do it like shown above)
- Now hit start, and NOW, It'll burn. When the reading is complete, you need to insert your blank CD, and click OK. It will now write, hopefully, successfully
Burning Protected PSX Games
Now, if your game is protected, you need to do this.
- Open CDRWin, put in game CD, and click on 'Extract Disc/Image/Sectors' (1)
- Now you will need to set all your options for the reading process.
- First, choose the reader you want to extract the CD with (I recommend using your burner for both reading and writing) (1)
- Now, set the location of where you want the CD to extract to. (ex. C:\temp\psx\game.bin) (2) Now, set 'Error Recovery' (3) to Ignore, and set the 'Read retry count' (4) to 50 (as above)
- Make sure that Data and Audio speed (5) reading is set to 1x (just like above)
- Now hit start. All the information will now be written to your chosen location, and will apear as 2 files. They are game.bin and game.cue
- Refer to the patching FAQ: http://forums.psxforum.com/showthread.php?threadid... for all the information needed on how to patch your game.
- Now that it has been patched, load up CDRWin. Click on the 'Record Disc' option. It looks like this: (1)
- First, select your CDROM Recorder. (1) Then, click on 'load cuesheet'. (2) Go to the directory you put the game in, and select the cuesheet you made earlier. This bit is really important: Make sure you are writing at 1X!!! (3) Your page should now look like this
- Hit start. Your game will start to burn. It'll probably take a little over and hour, so be patient. Once it's finished, it will play perfectly in your modde playstation. Have fun!
