Write your reply.

assistant: I don't think there is a "real" utility that lets you copy Playstation
games.  It can be done but I think you would have to swap using the original
copy in order to play.  I don't think you can copy Playstation games
perfectly because of Sony's copy protection schemes.  What they do is that
they use unformatted tracks and bad sectors and insert them all over the CD..
And i think all the CDs are different because they randomize the position of
the bad sectors.  What you would have to do is write non-sense bytes into
those bad sectors but I don't think their is a utility that lets you do
that(if you find it i would be interested). Also, since the playstation cds
are black you can not locate the bad sectors.  So good luck copying the games
and if you succeed tell me how.. Thanx..

assistant: Acutally, I heard copying some of the video game Cds are impossible.  First
of all, CDs like sega-saturn has unreadable boot sector(?) which you need the
hardware which copies(which does not include regular CD-Rs).. Also, section
of data on Saturn CD is on the outter rim of the CD which can not be read by
regular CD-ROMs..  And for Playstation, all of the CDs are different because
when they manufacture the CDs they write bad sectors all over the track so it
is not readable.. Utility like PSXCOPY will make mirror images, but it does
not defeat the COPY/BOOT protection so you would have to swap the CDs.. Any
ideas?
