    Burn it to disc, pop it in the PSX, select your region (PAL or NTSC), select start game, then it'll ask you to insert the game and press any button to boot

    sorry to say but i've never heard of a downloaded boot disc actually working. However there is a first time for everything. Also which system did you dl for??? There are many places on the net you could buy one. They aren't that expensive. you could check here

    You need to have a modded PSX to use a bootdisk. If you don't you could try the swap trick with the bootdisk. There is a stickied thread that has the swap trick in it.

    listen to me: a bootdisc is what has the psx able to run CD-Rs. You burn the disc on to a CD-R. What happens? The psx can't read the damn disc! You HAVE to have an original boot disc to play burnt games with it.

    You got that wrong, DL'd PSX Boot CD's are used for chipped PSone's to help with the compatability of it as it has anti mod code and anti AR code fighters built into it aswell as display fixes. (Not all games have fixes available to patch ISO's before burning)

    i had always thought that chipping a psx would let it run any game (at least some of the newer chips). u mean the sites selling these things actually tell flat out lies about the abilities of theor products? oh well, i guess truth of advertising enforcement doesn't reach the darkest corners of cyberspace yet

    No I said that before aswell, last time you said the same thing you don't have to post this again.

    There are no 100% working chips and the Boot disc does more than just booting a game it also fixes display gets round any anti mod tricks and anti Action Replay/Gameshark tricks.

    Mine is just Import Player you can get it from http://www.megagames.com/psx/psx_utils_bootcd.shtml

    Import Player, Import Player lite and the Xploder are the ones I have tested but I have yet to try out the others (Probly will never bother with the others myself as I am happy with what I have)
