Erm, and these work without you having to put that special little chip in your playstation? If so, was there any trick? Did you do the copy in "raw" mode? The only problem with raw mode is it takes a "special" (read as "el-cheapo", akin to a winmodem or winprinter) CD-writer to write them. My rather nice Yamaha CRW8424S doesn't have a raw write mode, I don't think, because it actually has brains and implements cue sheets like most CD writers do. The "good" CD writers handle calculating and writing the P and Q sub-channels for you, which is where a lot of that information is stored that you need to successfully copy "copy-protected" CDs. Isn't it ironic that the cheapest of the CD writers will copy the copy-protected CDs? I wonder what the people who come up with the copy protection schemes think of that. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
