Ok. I am a complete newbie to this but how do I create an ISO and if I just burn one to a cd as DATA then will that work on a PSX with a chip?


How does this stuff work?

the best program i know of for making an iso is Alcohol 120%, its very easy to use.

as far as psx games go, iive heard you have to burn them at 1x speed, or else it wont work. and many psx games have a modchip lock, so youll need a patch of some kind on ssuch games

i have golden hawk and it burn ps copies at 1x but its a cheapo and i like my roxio and nero alot better for burning data.

Could i use them to make an iso and if so them how?

Yes. For actually burning the ISO, in Nero:
Open up a Nero window, close the wizard if it comes up. Go to "open."


Next, click the dropdown box, and change it to show ISO files, as such.


Step three is to find the file you want (in my example it's the ISO image of my OS, but it works for any ISO)


Now, the settings should be as follows:




And then you click "burn" and you should be in business.

As for creating the ISO's, here you go:

First, we need to set the burner to be used as the virtual burner.



Then, put your PSX disc in your actual drive. Open up the "Copy Disc" dialogue, and we're ready to continue.


with these settings:




When it asks, just save the file as a .iso file. Enjoy...



(bloody hell, I actually wrote all of that!?)

hey thanks!
keep this thread open just in case i have a further question. -_-;

Indeee. . .




. . . eeed.

Is there any programs out there I can get for free that do both? The free trail of nero is great and all, but I want something I don't have to pay for atm.

Ninja edit: I dled magicISO. stupid torrent not coding in nero
