 |
|
| I heard that the video gets smooth in the emulators if you copy the whole cd to your harddrive, this would make final fantasy 9 sooo much more enjoyable.. righ tnow they are incredibly choppy, sorta puts a hitch in the game. Anyone know how to make an iso of a ps1 disc that an emulator can use? |

Actually, that probably won't work properly, because PS1 CDs aren't quite normal data discs. Your best bet is to make a CD image using cdrdao, using the read-cd command. Something like: | Code: | | cdrdao read-cd --read-raw --device ?,?,? filename.toc |
Put the same device identifier in there as you'd use for cdrecord. You should end up with a .toc file describing which tracks are on the disc, and a .bin file containing the actual data. For most PS1 games, the .bin file is all you need. |
