It is best to use Nero burning rom for this and you can copy from an original cd or a download.

I have started a playstation post on the requests section of this forum so please post any genuine PSX games and there titles.

If anyone got some playstation games then put them in your shared folder and get the dat signature copied and paste to the forum so we can share.

How to copy psx games with NERO

Unfortunately Playstation CDs are heavily copy protected. Nevertheless it’s possible to create backups of most Playstation games.

This is hat you need:
A MOD chip, which must be soldered into the Playstation.
A CD recorder capable of burning CDs using the „disc at once“ method.
About 700MB of free drive space to store a CD image file.
Proceed as follows:

Start Nero
Insert the Playstation CD in your recorder
Choose the menu command File->CD Copy
Select the page Copy Options and uncheck the on the fly option. Select your CD recorder as input device and choose (for safety considerations) 1x as read speed.
Open the page Read Options and select (if these options are available for your recorder): „Read media catalog number and ISRC“, „Continue copying“, „Data Mode 1“: „Force Raw reading“ „Write uncorrected“, „Data Mode 2“: „Force Raw reading“ „Write uncorrected“, „Read audio with subchannel“, „Ignore read errors“ and uncheck „Jitter correction“.

Open the Image page and choose a harddisk drive with at least 700MB of free disk space.
Select the page Burn and choose (for safety considerations) 1x as write speed.
Click the Burn button

Remember to burn at 1x speed and leave your pc alone whilst burning.

Backup of playstation games and some cdr's wont work
In your experience is this true and if so what disks do you recommend?
