Spyro 3 The Year of the Dragon

[Melissa8]

Hi. This is my first time in this forum. It looks great!

Has anyone ever been able to back up the Spyro 3 PS2 game? I've tried to do a 1:1 copy with CloneCD, no good. I've tried CDRWIN and patched the .bin file. No good. Just wondered if I should give up????

Thanks,

P.S. Using PioneerAO5 w/ WinXP. PS2 has DVDAuto Play chip.

Thanks! I did use px_paul's tutorials. They don't seem to work for this specific game because I don't have a stealth mod chip (?). I just wondered if anyone else had any luck or other suggestions.

@The-poacher
Thanks for the welcome!

Well If you want to play backuped games you need this chip. There is no way how to do it without it (or I don't know about this way )

I'm a little confused. The only Spyro Game for PS2 is Spyro Enter The Dragonfly. It is a DVD and a CD-R back up of that DVD takes 3 CD-Rs. So if you have a game for PS2 called Spyro 3, you are either well connected of you have a Playstaion game not a PS2 game which would fit an one CD-R. There is a Playstaion game called Spyro 3 Year of the Dragon. Either way, you need some type of modchip or there is a plastic knife trick, but its too tricky to recommend.

I do have a mod chip, the DVD Auto Chip. It's not "stealth". So, when I try to play Spyro 3 Year of the Dragon PS1 game on my ps2, it freezes because of the anti-mod protection (?).

[Markbot]

Never heard of the DVD Auto chip, but there is an anti protection patch (actually 5 of them) for the game at this website /http://www.psxcopyworld.com/
So make a disc image of the Spyro game, apply the patch you need from the site above using ppf-o-matic, burn and then it will work.

Year of the dragon is ps1 i don't know why i missed this the 1st time round maby the ps2 comment threw me !? ...... you just need to read the game with clone cd with both sub channels ticked (read audio and data sub channels nothing else !) and burn with ( DO not repair sub channels) and close disk!

read and burn speeds are not an issue unless you feel the need to slow down !?

[Melissa8]

@Viper,

That will work eventhough there are "anti-mod" protections throughtout the game?

@Markbot

I tried patching the .bin file, but it didn't work. Thanks for your reply.

[VIPER_1069]

@melissa8 yes should work fine (mine does 100% and completed the game too ) ...ps1 protection is pretty crappy lybcrypt that lurks in the subchannel data hence the DO NOT REPAIR subchannels on burntime as this corrects the subchannels if left unticked and the disk fails


you should get a good copy if your burner supports subchannels as most recent burners do you should get no problems

@Viper_1069

In CloneCD where do I tick and untick settings? Should I use my Lite-on LTR-16102B CD-RW or my Pioneer A05 DVD-RW? I can't find the settings menu, though! Thanks so much!

Melissa8 have a look at this link Clonecd Profile Hope that helps you.

[VIPER_1069]

use this premade profile and just read and burn with no changes

The plain old Game CD profile should work fine for libcrypt protected psx with your Lite-on writer. Just make sure that you read and write at low speed.
