Hey everyone. I need some help with playstation1 emulation. First of all, I am clueless on the subject. Someone told me I have to download the emulator on the computer. Then, take the CD the Playstation game is on, burn that CD onto a blank CD, using a CD-R disk. After that I put the burned CD into my CD-Rom drive on my computer and use the emulator to run the game like that. Is this information accurate? If so, can anyone recommend a good emulator? Also, does burning the CD effect the condition of the original game CD? Any information is greatly appreciated.

First off, if your friend ment copying the playstation game onto your harddrive from the orginal disk, then burn it. THey are wrong, you can actualy use the orginal disk to play the game, all you need is an emulater. Now, if you where to go to an site and download and ISO(playstation game), then you'll have to either burn it onto a CD, or set up an virtual drive. Anyways back to you're question, try <a href='http://www.epsxe.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.epsxe.com/</a> . Read the FAQ and read me file that comes with it, and enjoy yah gaming.

Thanks Untrue, appreciate the help.

actualy, you need not set up a virutual drive for iso files, just have epsxe run the file, well it at least works for my bin files

Finding the roms or isos are a pain in the ass tho. Good luck finding a site with the iso your looking for, or a site with any isos for that matter. P.S. I am looking 4 a cite as well, so if you know of one, PLZ POST IT!!!! :shock:

I had to the last time I played with espx. But it been quite some time and they've probably imporved it since then.


addict finding an site with ISO is hard. Try finding an place that has an bit torret and go from there. emuparadise.com use to have an nice selection. Just remember to SHARE!

ePSXe 1.6 can run Isos and bin files right off your HD. You can run games directly off CD but expect to have major lag caused from having to read the CD (I.E. encountering enemies in FF games). Run an extraction program to store "backup" copies of your games to the HD.

Why botter looking for Isos, just rent a game and then burn it and off you go thats what I do :twisted:

HEH! I do that too, Homer. And I don't even play them - -;

if only i had a computer when i lived with my mom, all those years ago, i would have a much larger collection by now ;(

Excuses...excuses....

you try ripping an iso on a microwave

Damn I have to try that, but nonetheless cd writers are so cheap nowadays your excuse is pretty damn cheap
