    I know that PS1 is old news, yet as they say, all thats old is new somewhere.

    I need help burning PS1 games to work on a unmodded Playstation (original).

    Can someone help? Thank you!

    can't be done, the PSX must be chipped to play backups.

    As I understand you just need to burn the image normally with ImgBurn, which is a free software.

    Oh and there is supposed to be some kind of trick by inserting an original CD first then the back, I dont know exactly how it goes but its do-able.

    when burning PSX games use decent media such as TDK or verbatim, and burn at the lowest speed possible.

    yes there is a swap trick, but its a little hard to get the timing perfect, I used to use it when my chipped PSX burnt out, unfortunately its also pretty easy to smash disks when using the swap trick.

    Yeah I used to do the swap trick. Basically it goes like this, you put some stick in the button thing to hold up the tray, and then put in a authentic PSX game, and then when it goes to the Sony (SCEA etc.) screen you swap it with a copied game. Some people do authentic disc for starters, then when the sound ends, insert copied game, then when the screen ends, insert proper game, and then wait a few seconds and then swap it back. Really hard to get used at it.

    Two things,

    By How, I mean what files do I put on the disk, Things here usually have 2-3 files with them, and the emulator only runs the .bin

    and two, I have a old CD swap gameshark, would that work?

    Burn the .cue file if there is one. Make sure the .cue and .bin are in the same directly. Should work.

    So I select the .cue file and have both in (.cue and .bin) in the same place?

    what if there are more files? or less?
