    I burned Spyro 3 for my PsOne. I burned the .CUE file onto a 700MB CD-ROM, the disc speed no higher than 16x. Then I put in into my PsOne, it starts to load all the company names, but when it gets to the Insomniac Games logo it won't go any further. I wasn't quite sure it would work because it only took a couple of seconds to burn and when I explored the files on UltraIso, it said that 88% of the files were there.

    Do you think maybe I just did something wrong or the ROM is just plain crap ?

    Any suggestions?

    P.S. Don't post things like "Your PsOne isn't chipped" because it is.

    the fact that it only took a couple of seconds to burn sounds suspect... You could test it in a PSX emulator, then if it works (it did when I tested it before uploading) burn it at 4x or slower. Also what burning program did you use?

    The burning program I used was Alcohol 120% because thats the only software I have on my PC which burns .cue files.

    Thanx for the help mate ;)

    Spyro 3 has special encryption.

    You'll have to have the right modchip/bootdisk, that supports special codes to get past them.

    Learn more about it here: http://megagames.com/psx/psx_protected_games.shtml

    You can use "protection codes" to get past them, but if your modchip doesn't support them, you'll have to patch the game.

    Just patch the game, and it should work fine!
