Playing romulation games on original PSOne

I REALLY need help about this. I got PS-One and it is chipped (modchip).
I got Crash TeamRacing from romulation and I burned the .bin file with MagicISO.
And what do I get? Nothing-just ps1 logo and nothing else. :'(
Any help is welcome! Just tell me did anyone got it working on original ps one and how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

 

Im not realy sure, But i heard that burning at a lower speed is sometimes best like X4 speed

 

burn at 1-4x, burn on good writable media (taito yuden, TDK, Verbatim, and memorex if you're low on dough), check your chip's compatibility, check for AP.

Try all of those and tell me what happens.

 

yes, also this.

Here is a link to save time:

are you using a cd-r?

 

Small recap:

1. Make sure you burn between 1x and 4x to make sure the burn is good.
2. Use imgburn to burn the game.
3. Do NOT use CD-RW's, only CD-R's. Rewritable discs don't burn and play games correctly.
4. Use quality discs. Verbatim is recommended (from everything I've read to date), but Memorex should work fine most of the time.

Take all of those steps, and as long as your PS1 is chipped correctly, you should have little to no issues. Every once in awhile, you will get a bad burn, so don't worry too much if a game doesn't work perfectly the first time.

 

Sorry for slow response, ill try burning at lower speed.
P.S. Can I use alcohol 120%

1. I am using CD-R.
2. Why not MagicIso?
3. I am using Verbatim.
4. What is AP?
5. Alcohol 120% has an PS option when burning, should I turn it on?

 

You probably could use Alcohol but

1. Good.
2.They're both free, right? Why do you care?
3.VERY good.
4. A select few games (notably Spyro 3) and some ps1 modchips have AP, or Anti-Piracy, preventing burned/copied games from playing correctly. If your chip has AP, well, there's not much you can do about it except replace it. If your chip came from an IRL store it's probably a region-only modchip. If you bought it from a chip store online, that shouldn't be a problem.

Now, if the GAME has AP, such as spyro 3, you need to find a cracked version, of which only google is required (or maybe a search of a gaming forum like this one.)
5. IMGburn doesn't even NEED that option, it's completely free, whaddya have against it? All you need to do in IMG is open the ps1 game, select 4x or 8x speed and BURN it. I suggest you turn off "verify" when burning because PS1 images seem to have a LOT of purposeful errors.

 

I don't think any games for psx have AP , thats more of a DS thing and most moden games now have it

 

Chears Loonylion, That is somethink i nerther knew XD!

 

Well, crap. Where there is modchips, there is AP. Heck, when there was NO modchips, there was AP! Even freaking EARTHBOUND had AP. Damn good AP too:

I chipped it in one game shop.
I asked them for help and when I get the response, I will see what do I get.
And...
personuser said: some ps1 modchips have AP, or Anti-Piracy, preventing burned/copied games from playing correctly.
well, that's stupid and I never heard that modchips for playing pirate games have AP. xD

 

Well, i got the response-and it looks like you NEED to use imgburn.
I will try with all of your reccomendations applied.
Thanks for taking some time to help me.

 

It is pretty damn illegal to sell copy-happy modchips in real stores, so what some makers did is this; The ps1 sends three pieces of data when starting up; The bios (1st) region (2nd) and piracy check (3rd) Store-bought anti-piracy modchips only bypass the first two pieces of data (bios, which passes anyway, and region) but not the third (piracy check). Because of this, games of all regions will play, but only factory-pressed originals. This keeps the stores and their keepers from getting their butts sued off by sony.

Now, on the other hand, the PS2, for example, seems to only send two bytes of data; BIOS (which always passes) and Region/AP. Therefore some mods for THAT like swap magic can be legally sold in stores because the company can say it's only meant to bypass region checks and use for copying isn't their responsibility.

 

try reburning. took me 6 or 7 burns to get dbz final bout to run, and when i scratched it during a swap, it was burn time again.

 

I just wanted to add that Final Fantasy IX, had an anti-cheat device protection built into its programming. When you use something like a Gameshark cheat device to get infinite/Max HP & MP, the game "detects" the cheat & it lowers your stats, unless you input another code that disrupts said cheat detection.

 

I burned the game with imgburn and... WHAT THE F***?!
DAMN THING DOESN'T WORK!
I asked the store about AP in their modchips and they say they have no idea.
I burned at 16x
I will ask 'em for help, if they can't help, i will look here, if no help here then... I will start to scream. just kidding xD
Anyways, thanks for help but if this thing has AP then it's game over for me.
