Bleem! - Key-CD Backup [PSXNIC]

Key-CD Backup [PSXNIC]

These Backup Instructions may only be used to create a backup of your original Bleem! Key-CD for personal use.

Introduction

Here are the Bleem! Key-CD backup instructions made by PSXNIC - Forum.

This is an easy way to copy the Bleem! Key-CD, no need to replace unreadable sectors with ones from another CD, what just is needed is a very good CD-Reader which is will ignore unreadable sectors. For these instructions a Teac CD-532S has been used.

NOTE:

Keep in mind that these instructions may fail as a very good CD-Reader (Teac CD-532) was used to read parts of the DATA tracks.

For more info on CD-Readers which are capable in reading unreadable sectors from an protected CD.

NOTE:

When track 7 is being read the following error messages will be displayed in the event/description window:

Supplying 1 dummy block at address 06:27:02 MSF (CDB: 2800000070ca000010000 , Status : 040002 , Sense : 031501) Random or mechanical position error)

Just ignore these errors as they are caused by several unreadable sectors which are on track 7 (463.2Mb).

After 4 hours and 30 minutes of reading you will have a perfect image of the original CD (all unreadable sectors have been replaced by readable ones) which means you will have exactly the same TOC (Table Of Contents) of original:

2 DATA tracks (track 1 & 7)
32 AUDIO tracks
