Humm... but this still won't work for PSX game discs right? ! Since they ! have a bad checksum, a standard burner can't write them back ! out, because ! it will correct the checksum? ! ! What I don't understand is, why can't someone write a program ! that will ! write the back check? I used to have a floppy disk copier for the Mac ! that did something similar. If the source disk was damaged, it would ! write the damaged data to the destination disk (the software ! was SUPPOSED ! to do that, it was to let you duplicate bad disks before ! running things ! like MacTools on it, in case it didn't work, you could dupe ! it again, and ! try something different) ! ! Alas, that software was for back in the "Classic Mac" era, ! and no longer ! runs (nor has any idea how to write to a CD) ! ! -c !
