problem between burnt cd games crashes on psx and emulator

i experienced this problem with my valkyrie profile ps1 game. i made a copy of my original valkyrie profile because it doesnt run well on my psx. then at first, when i started disc 1, the games works pretty well, but when i finished disk 1 and was asked to change to disc 2, the cd just keeps on spinning but the monitors stays all black. i tried to play the game on my pc with an emulator, the game doesnt crash at all.. so that means the game disc i copied isnt damaged. why does it crash on my psx. my psx is still in good shape and condition so im sure it is not my psx thats damaged. can anyone tell me the problem? i just dont fill like playing the game on my pc coz my computers sound driver doenst work. which is a big loss for the game which has very nice dubs. pls help me.

When you played the game on your PC, was this still the same CD or was it an image to play it?

thanks for you reply. i used the same cd to check if the cd is defective but it worked.. and my psx console is still in good shape.. i searched for any solution online and found out that the original cd contains something they call us boot sectors that the console reads to start the cd.. and they also said that blank cds dont have those boot sectors.. is there any other way to fix this? my original disks are all worn out and not working.. i really really want to finish this game, reading the manga isnt enough.. pls help..

Could you try burning another copy?

i already tried, but the same results came up.. but i havent tried using another brand of cd.. i am using sony branded cds.

...that is odd, sony make good stuff...Prehaps it's an anit copy-right feature on the disc, that isn't affecting the emulator because it ignores it...but that is just a theroy...never heard an emu working better than the real thing, but since the game is burnt...who knows...Is it possible to get the "real" disc to do a system test...it could be the ps1, sometimes a system will play up for no reason, or at least seem it...If not, don't worry...least you have the emu to fall back on :)

Its either a copy or a bad burn. If its a latter try burning the cd again. You could post here what program you used for burning and how you did it.

i heard about this anti copyright thing before, such as for the games legend of dragoon.. but they say there are some patches they use to make it play on ps1.. havent tried it though, this is the only game i burnt coz my original disc are worn out.. and i cant find any other original disk. ang the emu never work as good as the ps1 does, thats y i dont usually use my emu.. i prefer much plying games on my ps1.and about the bad copy, ill try burning using any other cd brands. but sony is the best so far.. because its very compatible with my ps1. and is durable..and about the patches, maybe theres a patches to make he ps1 ignore those boot sectors.. i just hope so... any one know other solution?i used ashampoo in burning. i think its much reliable than nero.. i got used on this program though.. i use it all the time..

use imgburn for burning images.

is that a program? imgburn right.. ok ill try if it works.. is it very good?

yes.

Just remember to burn them at 4x speed so it'll generate less errors.

It's best to burn at the slowest speed/s yes.

slowest speed you say? based on what ive read in the net, the speed depends upon the cd-rom right? mine has the slowest speed of 8x.. but ill try imgburn, maybe i can use a slower speed, and by the way, i burnt valkyrie profile with 16x speed. is it okay? maybe thats the reason why it doest really run well.. maybe ill just try it.. thanks for the info. ;D

Yes. Burn at the slowest speed possible always.

i havent burnt another copy yet but i read about this in the net.. they say there a way to combine multi disk games into 1 to prevent saving problems. is it possible to combine disks 1 and 2 of valkyrie profile and burn them in 1 disk? even if doesnt really work well, i just need to continue from disk 1 to disk 2. coz the main problem is how to transfer from disk 1 to disk 2.. is it possible? what programs should i use?

If that is possible, you'd probably need a software of some sort specifically for it.

right now, am researching for any way.. if anyone has found a new way. pls inform me.. thanks ;D
