Playing Ps1 Back Ups And Imports On Your Pc

Ok, here is quick tutorial of playing Back Ups and Imports on your PSONE.
I've also included info on what you need to play PS1 games on your computer.

There are allot of different modchips, and some other equipment for doing this.
Although it just seemed easier to use a PS-X-Change 2

Start the Boot Disc, wait for the message, insert Back Up or Import and press start on the remote.
I have seen this at several sites all ranging between $20 and $30.

Some games will not play since they are Pal instead of NTSC or for a variety of reasons.
Though you could probably play those games on your computer I have found.
Heres what you will need...

1. Get an Emulator, the most current for PS1 games seems to be "ePSXe 1.6.0"
which you can find at http://www.aldostools.com/psxemus.html.
Bookmark this site for later as there are numerous addons at Aldo's site.
Extract the zip file, and make a shortcut for "ePSXeLauncher.exe".
Don't forget to remember the "epsxe160" folders location.
2. You will need PSX Bios "SCPH1001.bin", this may be a little harder to find.
I ran into allot of lost links looking for this, you can most likely find it on a p2p.
Keep in mind to my understanding you must own a Play Station to have this file.
Once you have got the file insert it into the "bios" folder in the "epsxe160" folder.
If it helps, the file I've seen is 512K, the zip is smaller and there may be others.
3. Now you will need the "Plugins", you can get them at
http://www.pbernert.com/
Seems the most current is "gpupete175.zip".
Extract the files and place them into the "plugins" folder in the "epsx160" folder.
4. Now start the shortcut you created for the "ePSXeLauncher.exe" file.

Select the "Config" tab and the "Wizard Guide", this will walk you through the rest.

Keep in mind certain plugins may work better with certain games or other factors.

Right about now you should be saying "playing PS games on a keyboard sucks", I agree.
What you'll need next is a USB to PS Controller adapter.
You can get one at lik-sang and ztnetstore , or at other places for about $15 with shipping.
Although you may find one locally, I found a KiKY at Fry's for $9.99.
There is generally a driver disk to install, though some say they are plug and play with XP.
Install the driver if needed, plug in the remote, then goto the "Wizard Guide" and select the buttons.

Go to the the box of the button you wish to setup and click the same button on the remote.

Now start your shortcut again and...
Enjoy.

this shoudl be pinned good thread

Yes, yes, great stuff :) ,
Playing Capcom vs SNK at the moment. For slow computers, it's better to make an image of the game and then to play it, cause it's much faster.

ehh the bios lol i have it at my site...

Agreed, I use Alcohol 120% with virtual drives, it loads faster than my PSONE for sure.

If your reffering to the ePSXe or the PS-X-Change 2, the answer to both is Yes.
The ePSXe can handle imports as well, whereas the PS-X-Change 2 can't generally.

I like cracking and all but I gota ask..With the newer game units out there ,why are you still playing on the ps1.... I mean I understand holding on to game units for whatever reasons... I have ODDYSY 1 and ODDYSY 2 , ATari,Colleco,Intellevision,an Apple 2 clone,AMiga 500,Turbo graffix 16,Sega Genesis,Playstion 1, a pentium 486, a pentium 90 , a pentium 3- 450 . Now with all that crap put together you couldn't have the fun you could have on a ps2 or newer pc on the high end. So why waist money and time on something so old I guess is the question I have. I mean could you not be cracking ps2 just as easily? :unsure:

Nice thread Reality i found it very informative,thanks.

Nothing to do with backups, but has anyone tried running proper "bought" games with the emulator (inserting the cd into your cd-rom). I cant get Need for speed III to work. Going to try my other psx games tomorrow.

They work fine for me, perhaps try changing the plugin...

Yes...

ePSXe can't play Gran Turismo 2

I got PSXeven and im trying to play Parasite Eve (loved that game :rolleyes:) When i boot up the disc, the screen goes black and i cant see anything. I can only hear stuff. I have all of the plug-in in the folder. Im running in 1024 x 768 if that helps. I tried setting the game's visual settings to that too but it still doesnt work. :unsure:

@ Keikan & SingaBoyi

visit: www.ngemu.com (and go to the forum for all your emulation questions.People will help you there for sure)

Gran Turismo and Parasite Eve do work, you just have to change some
settings here and there.Belive me , I've played both games ;) they work perfectly.

anyone know of a PS2 emulator?

pcsx2 is the only good ps2 emulator, but it can only play some games at 5-10 frames per second..

Great help.
thanks

i'm having a slight problem with this. basically the frame rates are incredibly quick, too quick and i just can't play the game. is there any way of changing this?

there is a way to switch the max frame rate in the settings for the graphics plugin

wow thax for telling me
