    disc Drs are good for that. I'm not sure why the burn isn't working though, what brand discs are you using?

    PSX swap disc trick in more detail

    download the ISO of the game you want, don't copy a scratched disc.

    also, don't use a scratched disc for swapping.
    if you don't have ANY other PSX games, then go to a retro game store and buy the cheapest PSX game that they have.

    I know on the dreamcast that you have to adjust the laser for it to read RWs. After the adjustment, the dreamcast can't read GDs or CD-Rs anymore.
    It's best to just use CD-Rs.

    the PSX is chipped so the swap trick shouldn't be necessary...

    I didn't actually see him say the word chip.
    You did though, and then he said yes.
    Ok got it.

    did you try burning it as RAW data? not Track at once?
    I know for dreamcast games, you have to burn it as RAW.

    HURRAY!!! The problem actually lies on the CD-RW. After burning it into a CD-R , it all WORKS!!

    Thanks alot man Loonylion, and maybe to insanecrazy07 lol. I can't believe more than 3 hours had past just by sorting this thing out @_@

    PS1 games shouldn't be burned using RAW settings or Juliet settings.
