Playing Panzer Saga (burned ISO) complications

Post by thegore »

I finished disc 1 and whenever I open the cd drive door to boot up disc 2, it just does the fabled audio player error after "checking disc format." i had the same problem when I tried to switch games in bios a few days ago; they work fine after a full system reset however.

Does the modchip not override sercurity scanning if you have to load in the bios (meaning I'm SOL for playing multi disc games :( ) or do I more than likey have a bad image on PDS disc 2? Anyone else experienced this?

thanks. thats what I figured. I poked around a little and found that bad disc 2 images are common..who knew? :roll:
UG needs to update a few of their images; the Street Fighter Collection Disc 1 cue is really funky as well. :(

:D I managed to optain a real copy of Saga for free (as well as Blazing Dragons and a few others, some of which suck), which I'm very pleased about.
I'm a bit broke and the moment and I'm half in a mind to selling it, but damn I'm not sure I can.

pds iso quality

Post by alexkidd »

There are a few different ISOs of PDS floating around of various quality.

I burned one that had the text all glitched like "P@&z#r Dr#g&%n S#g!". I found a second one and it worked fine using the same burning method and system/chip.

Yes. :P
If you have anymore issues and someone tells me the best method for ripping of Saturn games I'll rip PDS for you guys when I get chance.
