Emulator won't run Spyro without fairies on me!

Turtle:D · Jan 28, 2013 12:47 PM

Is there anyway to get around the anti-piracy? Because I put my disc into a .iso file for my emulator, and the fairies are on me.
Any help?

If you have the disc, why not just use that with your emulator? It should still work. Besides that, I don't really know anything about the actual conversion, so someone else might have to help with that.

Welcome to the forums, by the way! smile

Actually, the disc will only work if it's not a European disc. If it's a European disc then it'll crash when entering the first non-homeworld level, and will corrupt your save.

Turtle:D · Jan 28, 2013 4:32 PM

@Stormy The disc won't work with the emulator, that's the thing.

@HWD45 It's not a European disc. I don't think so, and I made a new save, and Zoe didn't tell me about hacked or illegal games! But in the second world I can't find 5 gems!

It's not that bad, making a series on YouTube, recording around everyday and posting later.

I'm using a mac version of PCSX-R

Gekoncze · Jan 28, 2013 6:38 PM

Oh, yeah I have no experience with PCSX. (I use ePSXe)

That Spyro game, good anti-piracy system.

Hwd45 · Jan 28, 2013 10:13 PM

I use psxfin (I think that's what it's called tongue ), which uses less plugins than ePSXe, so perhaps one of the ePSXe plugins bypasses the crashes? Because I've heard it's fairly easy to work around the crashes.

This may be little bit off topic, but I don't want to make a new topic. Since this topic already has discussion about roms and emulators. Could someone post a step-by-step tutorial on how to do rom files out of my ps1 games without breaking the disc or damaging the files on the disc. I will make those roms for personal use and I won't spread them in internet. I'm using ePSXe emulator so the file has to be something that emulator runs.

Turtle:D · Feb 01, 2013 5:45 PM

I just use a program Burn or another one called AnytoISO.
Hope it helps (I'm running Mac, so I don't know if they work on PC).

Also, if you want to run the CD through the app without that process, here's some help. (I made this little tutorial) Ok, I use PCSX-R, but I think (I haven't used your emulator) you just insert the disc and press run CD-ROM in the pop-up menu, like when running an iso.
Hope I helped, never used your emulator before, so don't hate, because I'm just guessing because that's how it works on PCSX-R.

Nobololol · Feb 01, 2013 6:16 PM

So basicly I just put the ps1 disc on cd drive ,or whatever it's called, and burn it like regular cd (I have only burned audio cd's and one time a concert from dvd but it failed so I'm not sure how to burn a game on your pc). And after that I convert it to right file type.

Turtle:D · Feb 01, 2013 6:18 PM

Yes, but with burn and AnytoISO you convert them automatically to .iso files, which inside are .img files, run them and BAM! Done. Hope I helped!

Gekoncze · Feb 01, 2013 7:12 PM

I loaded my PS cds into PC: *.mdf file using daemon tools lite, *.img using clonecd.

Turtle:D · Feb 01, 2013 7:12 PM

It should automatically be an iso file, in which there will be an image file where you can play through that for the 'Run ISO'.
Also, make a new file for that game, copy the files inside the iso file to it and you'll know what I mean once you've done things correctly.

I think Spyro games have some sort of protection against copying. I made .img of CTR but when tried to do that to Spyro games i can't. I can't make the .mdx file of them with Daemon tools.

I think I'll try CloneCD because now Daemon Tools Lite won't open for me?

Edit: CloneCD worked!! Now I have a backup copy of my Spyro 2 Gateway To Glimmer. It's little bit strange quality it lags more than the original but it doesn't matter.
