Not sure why Nero InfoTool is reporting your drive is capable of RAW DAO 96, unless it's doing so because your drive's FW is partially MMC compliant. It technically should, as it's supposed to comply to the MMC standard (MMC compliant drives made after 1997 are supposed to support MMC-DAO-RAW mode). Is there a way to find out for sure?Ĭlick to expand.Unfortunately it appears your drive does not support RAW mode. Modes : Packet, TAO, DAO, SAO, RAW SAO, RAW SAO 16, RAW SAO 96, RAW DAO 96I was pretty sure that my burner couldn't do RAW DAO as it was not an option in CloneCD or Alcohol 120%. This hardware is affordable to almost anyone. All the new mult-format burners support RAW DAO/96, and not to mention have DVD_RW support as well. You can get what you need for as little as $25 USD. You should think about biting the bullet and purchasing a new mult-format burner. It's been a while since I've backed up CDs in RAW mode. Sorry, I confused RAW SAO+SUB with RAW SAO 16. I would think a non-LibCrypt protected game would work fine though on a modded psx. SUB channel data to successfully make a backup of a psx LibCrypt protected psx game. You would need a burner that supports at least RAW SAO 16 (sometimes called DAO 16) and an image with all the. This mode is used only for CD+G backups as the writer will still generate most of the SUB channel data in this mode including the p and q, which matters most for LibCrypt protected psx games. It turns out that RAW SAO+SUB will not write the p and q SUB channel data. I think the "protected game CD" profile reads the SUB channel data by default, but I'd check anyway to be safe.ĮDIT: After thinking this over I did a little research on this. Just be sure the option to "allow reading SUB channel data from tracks" is ticked before creating the image. The SUB data is key in these backups, RAW DAO shouldn't be needed in this case (RAW SAO+SUB will be sufficient).

CloneCD should be able to backup almost all psx games just by using the standard "protected game CD" profile and using RAW SAO+SUB mode when writing. I never backed up psx games myself, but I have burned over 60+ for my modded xbox so I did my share of research.

I think they're may be a few games that used enhanced protection but I don't know which ones for sure. As far as I can remember, as long as your optical drive can write p and q SUB channel data it can burn a working psx backup.
