PSX 80 Minute Patcher Question

ShaunD · Jan 25, 2025

Just been reading Alex's great patcher below. I was wondering if it's best pactice to apply this to every ps1 game I burn?, just to cover myself incase the bug comes up. Willm it affect anything if applied to all games?

Thanks

Hi what I'm wondering...why do you still use Cds? Use Chd format with psx emulators. So quicker to load.
Anyway response is: No it won't affect anything is a bad way.
Is it for a kind of preservation?

Thanks for the reply. I perfer using pysical hardware and knowing no errors will present over emulator. It's not for preservation. I just thought if im burning a cd anyway, would it be better to just add the fix and then i'm covered on every playstation.

No harm in patching every game. There are a very few number of games I expect to not work (which use absolute lba addresses for CD audio, such as Tomb Raider). We currently have a list of games that absolutely do have the bug on early PS2s and the count is at 61! None of them have the absolute lba address issue luckily...
