|/----------- Frequently Asked Questions ------------------------------------\|
\´ /
| 1. How do I get this to run on my Playstation 2? |
| |
| You need a way to play PS2 CD-Rs. |
| This either requires a modchip or another method to play
PS2 CD-Rs. |
| If you do not have a modchip fitted to your PS2 console
then either |
| get one, or "google" for "PS2 Knife Swap"
or "PS2 Swap Trick". |
| |
| 2. I downloaded all the files from the website. How do I
make a cd? |
| |
| There is a step-by-step guide, on http://snes-station.gamebase.ca
|
| |
| 3. I burned the cd but it doesn't work. What now? |
| |
| If you want more help then visit the official forums on
|
| http://www.gamebase.ca/forums |
| |
| 4. I downloaded a bin/cue from somewhere but it doesn't
work. |
| Can you help me ? |
| |
| No. We do not condone distribution of so-called "rompacks".
|
| Please use the directions in the documentation available
on the |
| SNES-Station website or forums to make your own compilation
CD. |
| (with the ROMs that you legally own) |
