It is not posible. The best you can hope for is to use a boot disk like a action replay. But you cannot burn a psx game that will run on a unmodded psx like a real copy

would the Playstation Boot Disc PS-X-Change V2 work??? from http://www.modchipstore.com/Playstat...-V2-16136.html

Actually, if you have a VERY flexible burner, it is possible to do so. The only thing that prevents a burned CD from running on a playstation is the fact that most/all consumer cd burners automatically add a proper checksum in the disk's "header" PS1 expects a blank (all zero) checksum and won't run a disk that has a proper checksum in the header. If you could somehow modify your CD-R firmware to disable checksum calculation/writing, you COULD burn CDs that would work on an unmodded PSX. I don't know if anyone had ever actually been able to do this but it is IN THEORY possible.

so thats how they do it I will have to try to figure something out so I can put it to the test.

What about the swap trick? Or is that just for import games?

[FlavaFlave]

The swap trick works pretty well. If you have a super old ps1, like back from when they first came out, you don't need anything special to boot cd-r's - all you have to do is prop the lid open and keep that button clamped with a toothpick, then you can swap the disc when it stops spinning. But, I would guess if you still have an original, first run PS1, it's probably dead. Hope that helps!

that works all the way to the newer smaller psone

ps: I have a lunch psx that still works. Just not as well as it used to (maby I need to clean the lense a few times or soemthing )

I used to use the swap trick. I had the quickest hands in town. Then I bought a cheat card and plugged it into the back, but no one else had the slot for one. There was also a way of connecting something to the eight million ports at the back, but I can't remember. Again, I was the only one with all these connectors.

True, however after the original release, you needed either a gameshark or type of action replay in order to get the disc to stop spinning. Later on they manufactured swap magic discs that act as boot discs. The original system however needs nothing to play a copied game - just quick hands.

Lunch psx? hmmmm..... sounds tasty.
Yeah, i would clean that lens and if you have a type of store in your area that can readjust lasers, I would definately do that too. Shouldn't cost you hardly anything.

could u do the swap trick to play a back up psx game on a ps2?

[polobunny]

I wonder what all those great guides are made for.

No. The only reason you can do it on the PSX is because of the lid. You can't do it on the PS2 because its motorised drive stops the disc spinning before it ejects it.

it was false rumor
psx cp is SCEx pattern coded @leadin
not reproducible on home equipment
for now
