Trouble burning Playstation 1 Games

[gamerphil07]

I've tried multiple times to burn a game onto my CD-R with no luck. The game boot up on the system up to the logo, and then I get a black screen. My PS1 is chipped, as practically all my games on it are burned by a friend. Even after verification, the disc doesn't work properly.

The game could be detecting your chip if it isn't a stealth one.

 

Some games may require 'RAW' mode burning... which ImgBurn doesn't do. Try something like CloneCD and see if you run into the same problem.

Just used CloneCD with the same results. It goes to the Playstation Logo and stops.

By the looks of it, I'm leaving something important out of the process. First I download the ROM and make sure that it's an iso. Then I write it onto the disc. It seems too simple to be right. What I don't get is how the PS logo even shows up.

If it was an image you needed to burn with CloneCD, it wouldn't just be an ISO anyway.

 

An ISO wouldn't contain the info required by a proper 'RAW' mode burn.

 

At this point, I'd have to say it's either the source image that's the problem or your playback device (either the chip being detected or it not liking the discs very much).

So should I use an .img file instead? I'l try using a different file as well.

 

EDIT: I tried using an .img file and it didn't show the PS logo. It only does when it's an ISO.
