psone problems

Post by nateup2 »

I am having some problems with burned games on my small psone with the psXchange boot disk. Some games are missing sound during fmv sequences. I noticed it for Xenogears and Final Fantasy 7 seems to be missing some sounds - the big explosion in the beginning when I blow Mako reacter and some train sounds. Some games skip during the fmv sequences - Tomba comes to mind. I am burning using Alcohol on the playstation setting. I am using Verbatim cdrs... are they still the best?

Is my cdrom just going bad?

Any help appreciated!

Im not sure what toc is but it also happened with the memorex I tried as well. The memorex are what I used for all my saturn games with no problems besides that flicker on some games which I think is just natural. Is psone more "touchy" than saturn?
Is there a suggested brand that had the proper "toc". I had read that Verbatim was best but that was old info.

Thanks a lot for responding. Although I just bought a 100 stack of Verbatim, I hope it is just the brand of cdr I am using cause that would be less of a hassle than getting a new psone. I only have the psone for the rpgs and Tomba.

toc is Table of Contents. It's a file on the disc that has the name and location of every file on the disc(videos, music, etc).

I'm assuming what the problem is is that the TOC for your game is actually bigger than what the psxchange disc has, meaning it's losing the location of some files because it read the psxchange's TOC size and it wasn't large enough to encompass all the files on your game's disc.

Ok, that makes sense. So I'll prob have to buy some of the larger games. That kind of sucks since the only reason I have a psone is for the square giants.

Thanks a lot for the info... I'm learning a good bit from yall and I appreciate it.
