11/10/2019 Best Place For Ps1 Isos
Got my Pi built, up and running with my PS3 controller and a bunch of NES/SNES/N64/Megadrive games and now starting to add in PSX. No luck with MAME/PCEmulation stuff yet. So I had a bunch of PSX ISO's. Unzip and of course, none are ISO files.
Some are.bin only, some.bin/.cue, a few were.bin.ecm, which when expanded were.bin or.bin/.cue, and a few have a single.cue file and two.bin (like part 1 and 2). As a test I took one and resaved as an ISO but when I tried to play it it didn't work.
So, wondering, what do you guys do? Do you convert everything to single file ISO? I read another thread about renaming the.bin file to lose the extension, which I don't think would work for the files that have no.cue. Basically looking for an easy way to make these work and look nice and organized.
Apr 14, 2011 Best Place To Find PSX Roms? Or i would use snesorama.us and use there forum of psx roms. Either website you use i think you'd be able to find what you're looking for. Also i would reccomend using the emulator called pSX/psxfin. Sites for decent psx iso and n64 roms?
Making pbp is probably the cleanest solution, but by the time I learned about that I had a lot of psx roms already. Maybe I'll eventually convert them but that'll take time and it just adds another step to my cataloging. I just have all my roms on an external drive and obviously each set of roms goes into the corresponding console folder, but for the psx folder I just keep the bin+cue files for a game in a folder with the game's name. For PSX games you may end up with a WHOLE LOT OF TRACK FILES like for Tomb Raider, or random japanese games.
I keep those in a folder and transfer the folder onto the pi to keep the ES list organized. Also if you go to the 20 minute mark on this video it will show you were you can tell emulation station to not show cue files so the bin file will only show up in your games list on the pi. You can easily make folders for each of your games with multiple files and in your gamelist.xml set up a tag instead of a tag. This will allow you to add all of your meta data and a box art to the folder.
Then you just go in the folder and launch whichever file you need to. ESPECIALLY useful for Amiga, C64 and any other disk-based system. Gamelist.xml:./Chrono Cross Chrono Cross./images/Chrono Cross.jpg That should take care of things without any converting on your part.
Said in: Turn them all into.pbp files. The filesize of each will be shrunk This worked great, even for the multi.bin files. Made the.pbp files and dropped them to the PSX folder and tested a couple last night without issues.
Though, just before starting there is a very small message in the corner that said 'no BIOS was found, expect issues' or something similar. The BIOS stuff still eludes me. I've been to and I see some files listed, not sure what I need or if can copy all of them over, which if that simple, why not be part of the img file. Said in: said in: Turn them all into.pbp files.

For the same reason games are not. BIOS dumps are copyrighted material that should not be distributed.
Sony tentatively entered the video game market by to develop a new, disc-based console in the mid-90s. After that partnership fell apart, Sony went on to release a console of its own: The seminal PlayStation launched in Japan in late 1994 (and the following year in the rest of the world). Although the original PlayStation wasn’t the first console to use CD-ROMs, nor was it the first to provide true 3D graphics, it created the breakout moment for both of those technologies in gaming. Ranging from novel-length, narrative-driven RPGs to fast and furious races to mind-bending puzzles, games for the original PlayStation offered a wildly diverse lineup over its 11-year production run. While the prior generation of consoles was widely beloved and featured a lot of major advancements, the original PlayStation was one of the first mainstream indications that gaming would become a pastime for children and adults.

It provided some of the most immersive fantasies gaming had offered to date, and many of the games that came out of its period of experimentation remain among the all-time classics. Take a stroll down memory lane with us as we count down the 50 best PlayStation 1 games ever made. Do they hold a candle to? ‘Castlevania: Symphony of the Night’ The Castlevania series was over a decade old by the time Symphony of the Night arrived, but it was absolutely the franchise’s defining moment. It radically expanded the series’ platforming with RPG loot and progression and non-linear exploration, lending its suffix to the subsequent “Metroidvania” genre as a result.
Unlike previous Castlevanias, where you controlled members of the vampire-hunting Belmont family, SotN revolves around Alucard, the lazily-named son of Dracula, who fights the horrible monsters of the castle to protect humanity from his father. Symphony of the Night stood out immediately for bold choices like hiding more than half of the game behind a false ending, or using the CD format to make a massive game filled with rich, 2D sprites instead of the crude, early 3D the rest of the industry was pursuing at the time., Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is still just as satisfying to play now as it was 20 years ago. 2.’Resident Evil 2′ While the first Resident Evil is beloved for creating “Survival Horror,” Resident Evil 2 perfected the formula. It picks up two months after the events of the original, as the Umbrella Corporation’s zombie plague spreads from the company’s labs to nearby Raccoon City. Like the first game, it features two protagonists, puzzles, exploration, and limited resources for ammo and saving the game, forcing careful and strategic play. It added the “Zapping System,” in which players could revisit scenarios multiple times as different characters, with unique challenges designed for each of them.
Its presentation was also praised as improving upon the first game in virtually every way. Though the series has continued for decades — we’re up to as of 2017 — many still consider the second the high watermark. 3. ‘Metal Gear Solid’ Between Thief: The Dark Project on PC and Metal Gear Solid on PlayStation, 1998 was the year that modern stealth video games were born. A sequel to two lesser-known games from creator Hideo Kojima, you play as special ops soldier Solid Snake, infiltrating the hideout of a rogue unit threatening the United States with a nuclear strike. Snake has a variety of tools for evading and taking out guards, making it one of the most taut and tactical gaming experiences available at the time. The series has since spawned four more critically-acclaimed main entries and, radically expanding upon both its deep gameplay and Kojima’s baroque, nuclear mythology. But the first Metal Gear Solid remains an unassailable classic.
4. ‘Final Fantasy IX’ Breaking off from the trajectory of Final Fantasy VII and VIII toward gritty sci-fi, FF9’s return to the stylized, chibi aesthetic and light-hearted fantasy of the series’ original entries left many fans turned off. In retrospect, it stands out as a fantastic synthesis of the franchise’s recent ideas with its classic mechanical and worldbuilding tropes.
It follows the rogueish Zidane, the rebellious princess Garnett, and their assembled friends taking on the sinister Queen Brahne and her world domination plans. It’s classic Final Fantasy through and through, and is easily the most charming and fun entry from the era.
5. ‘Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2’ The original Tony Hawk Pro Skater was an enormous success when it launched in 1999, but it was the follow-up from the next year that truly cemented it as one of the most beloved sports franchises of all time. The action centered around arcade-style gameplay, with the player flipping and grinding over open levels to rack up as many points as possible from tricks and combos within two minutes. Collectibles and level-specific objectives keep it spicy, and the addition of level- and skater-creation tools gave it a ton of replayability. The series continued through in 2015, but for many the second remains the definitive entry (and still one of the most highly rated sports games of all time).
