    Question Help W/ ISO's on PS2 Consoles

    I might be getting a PS2 Console soon. How do I play PS & PS2 ISO's on Playstation 2 Console? Do I need to burn the ISO onto any blank CD for it to work? Help me out w/ this please.

    Will PS1 games work on PS2?

    You can't convert PSX games to DVD to play via FMCB, but you can convert PS2 CD based games (some games might not be able to be converted successfully though).
    There is a POPS emulator for PSX games.

    There is also the olde swap trick for PSX games and a loader that can be used with FMCB but that is still the swap trick just made easy

    To get that to work you need to make the PS2 think the lid or draw is always closed, depending on the version of the PS2

    It also depends on the version of the PS2 to if FMCB can even be installed as the last version of the PS2 prevented this

    If the PS2 looks like

    ps2_black_main.jpg

    Then FMCB can not be installed

    The older slim versions look a little different and the fat PS2 work fine with FMCB

    A Mod chip is another method or Swap discs called Swap Magic that you buy can also work, the later will need to lid to be seen as closed, that may mess up the ability to play multi disc games but there are not many of those for PS2

    All DVD based consoles can not play CD/DVD burned media without some sort of trick either software or hardware, even most CD based consoles can't play burned media without a trick or two
