I'm pretty sure the reason why it didn't work on my system is that I haven't installed the latest version of DirectX yet (I haven't played any DirectX games for quite a while now). Sorry for the long reply.

And by the way, I found the PPF patch that does the 100% Copy Protection removal for Spyro 3 by Paradox. I just need to look for the proper CD image to apply the patch to before testing.
Please don't forget to include my name if you share my work around. Credit where it is due.

If you don't to install a stealth chip, just install a toggle switch.
Right after the game boots up disable the chip - problem solved.

Wow...thanks for bringing back old memories.
Slightly out of topic I know, but I just have forgotten the B.A.D team and the good things they have done on the PSX scene back then.


Thanks again :)

Is there any tutorial on how to master a PS1 backup so it can be played on an unmodded console?

No. You need to create custom burner firmware that can burn a SCEx wobble to do that.

Very difficult. Strong knowledge about how CD-ROM's work in their mathematical sense is required, as well as strong knowledge of assembler. It's quite complex stuff.
