HOW TO COPY PSX GAMES (AnGeLk][LLa) |\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\| ---------------------------------There are two ways of copying games. WAY 1.

Turn them into a .bin/.cue or an .iso and then burn them to a CD WAY 2. Copy CD to CD I recommend doing #2 because its easier and takes less time. If you plan to store the PSX game on your Hard Drive. Then do #1. I will explain how to do both on different types of programs: ----------WAY #1 ----------I sudgest using CDRWIN for this way of copying a PSX game. CDRWIN>> 1. Open CDRWIN 2. Select the following options - Check "Disc Image/Cuesheet" - Under "CD Reader" Choose the CD Reader to be used - Under "Image Filename" select the place to put the game. For example, I did C:\PsxGamez\ - Select the tracks under "Track Selection" (most games have only 1) +++++Everything else that I havn't mentioned should be left DEFAULT++++ --------WAY #2 --------Backup Instructions Introduction The following CD-Writer software is capable of making a working backup of an ori ginal Playstation CD. PC Software: CDRWIN CD Wizard DiscJuggler Nero Burning Rom WinOnCD Macintosh Software: CD-Copy & Toast Amiga Software: MakeCD Information where to get this software can be found at CD Media World. NOTE: Keep in mind that an ModChip or a Game-Enhancer is ALWAYS needed to be abl e to play these CD-R's In some cases it is better to use the CD-Writer as Source CD-Reader as it is usu ally better able to read unreadable sectors. All backup instructions will first make an CD Image on the local harddisk and af ter that burn the CD. It is also possible to perform an On-the-Fly backup but th is depends on the quality of the CD-Reader.

Always make sure that there is enough disk-space to store the CD-Image (some CDimages can be 700 Mb in size!).
