Hi.

I am trying to copy a game. Final Fantasy VIII for Playstation 1. I am using CloneCD (version 5.2.9.1) to copy the CD. The first time it said it was successfully copied but when I try to play it I get the intro of PSX: the orange diamond and the Logo with "Sony computer entertainment Europe" and then a black screen with nothing. The sentence "Sony computer entertainment Europe is read from the disc, because an NTSC version of the disc would say "Sony computer entertainment America", so I think it's a safety issue. Then I found this site and downloaded some profiles for CloneCD. I used some profile named "PSX [libcrypt] Max Read And Write" but I got the same problem. A black screen. I always burnt my CD's at 1x speed to be sure.

When I use the original disc in my Playstation it works. I have other copied games that work very well on my playstation 1. (yes, it's chipped)

I once heard the Final Fantasy games for playstation were heavily protected. Could it be that you're not able to copy this one game?

Can someone please help me with this?

I will be greatful.

Dennis

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I didn't think clonecd could copy games. That would work anyway.

Ok just finished reading a bit more. Seems it does. I just use it for cd's & backups for backups.

Maybe FF8 is just too well protected and cannot be copied, whatever you use. It seems the guy who said "anything can be copied" was wrong.

Have you had a search through the 'CD & DVD Copy Protection' forum (here). There is probably some information there that would help...
