PSX Game Backup

[e101gamma]

Hi, i'm quite a noob and was wondering how I can use Alchol 120 to create back-up's of PS1 games.

The game is FF7 if that matters. (multiple disc)

Can somebody give me somewhat detailed instructions? it would be appreciated. Thankyou.

Just use the default playstation datatype settings, read and write at low speed (say 8x) and use high quality cdrs (don't bother testing with cdrws; they won't work).

Your reader/writer will have to be raw dao96 capable (i.e. able to read and write sub-codes correctly) and you will, of course, need a mod chip for the copy to work.

You only need RAW DAO 96 if the game is protected with LibCrypt. Even then it is possible to patch and burn without DAO 96. It is also possible to patch if the game uses anti mod protection and you don't have a stealth chip.

True but as I recall FF7 is libcrypt protected.
