    I downloaded WWF Smackdown from the site and I extracted it with WinRAR. There were two files. I think they're both BIN files? I dragged both files onto a CD and burnt it. I set up my PS1 and put the game in - It doesn't work. Yes, my PS1 is chipped and yes, it still works. I'm thinking I only put one of the files on or I do something else? I don't really want to waste any more discs, so I thought I would ask here.

    Thank you.

    There should have been a .cue file with the .bin. Open up your burning program, or download ImgBurn, then go in the Image Burning Mode/Wizard, select the .cue or .bin file and burn at the lowest speed.

    I think I burnt it at the highest speed. I'm not sure.

    Here are the files that I have.

    Can't see the extensions sorry. Yes always burn at the slowest speed, this makes sure the image is burnt slowly and carefully, it will have a much higher chance on working on your PS1.

    They're both titled 'WWF Smackdown! [SLUS-00927][BIN]'. I thought you might be able to tell from the picture.

    Easy mate, if you had a .cue, it would have been named exactly the same. I was meaning the extension of the two files, I can't see them. The things after the filename, like New Text Document.txt etc. Okay!

    The file at the bottom is a .cue file! I have downloaded ImgBurn and I am burning at x1 speed.

    You should have read my posts properly, I explained it in the first one.

    When I went into properties, it didn't tell me that it was a .cue file. I found that out when I started burning it with ImgBurn.

    One of the files should have several hundred MB, the other should have some hundreds KB. The smaller one is the .cue one. But ImgBurn detects it anyway.

    The extension should have been at the end of the filename, it probably was defined. If you changed it to .cue or opened it in Notepad you could have checked.

    He "probably has Hide Extensions for known file types" checked.
    It's the first thing that I turn off.

    Doesn't look like it, as the filename is a bit longer so it does the dot thing. Oh well, it doesn't matter now.
