Just thought I'd share an experience that I had using both programs (Alcohol vs. CloneCD)
I just bought (for my son) an old PS2 CD based game. (Midnight Club, street racing).
While I'm an Alcohol 120% user, I could NOT get this freakin game to work after I copied it!
I used the PS2 datatype in Alcohol. The game would launch and then freeze during the loading sequence.
I have also tried to burn it on 3 different media's to no avail.
I used a Lite-on DVD-ROM to read the game and a Pioneer A05 to burn the game. Never worked!
After remembering reading psxpaul thread in where he mentiones he ustilizes CloneCD for CD based games I decided to try CloneCD.
I also downloaded the profiles and read/write utilizing the PSX profile and bam worked the very first try. (Of course using the above same reader/writer method) I'm impressed!
I am very dissapointed that I couldn't get it to work using Alcohol 120%!!!
Maybe they need to tweak that datatype setting.
From now on, I will be using CloneCD on all PS2 CD based games.
Regards,
