    You need a program called RomBank (Or something like that) . Its usually included in the imbNES package. There you simply add all games you want ant press "make ISO". Btw if you still are having troubles, you can download imbNES with 140 games in this thread:

    If you look in the package there is a file called RomBank.exe or something similar to that. I think it is the only exe in the package. You run it. You can then select all the folders you want that contain NES roms. I think they must ONLY contain NES roms. The roms can NOT be in zip format either. They have to be in the .nes format. When you select your folders with the roms you just click Make ISO or something like that. I think it will then make you a CD image. You then just burn that image like you would any other PSX game.
    Enjoy
    I think I am going to try and make a PSX disk with all the US NES roms in it.

    Good luck man! I believe the US NES rom-set is well over the limit a CD-R will hold.

    Well, if that's the case, you could certainly split it up and put it on multiple disks. That's what I had to do with the NES Goodset, so I could use it with Nester DC.

    With ImbNES I recomend to test the games you end up wanting before burning it so just try out your Nes.iso with ePSXe first.

    The reason I say test it first is because the compatability with ImbNES is not 100%, it is high just not that high and if you come across any none working games you can replace them with others you may have wanted on there instead

    What progs do you have and I'll tell you if you can burn the iso with it

    As for method no there is no special way needed to burn it, the only thing that helps on ocation for PSX iso's is to burn at a very slow speed well the slowest you can, but thats just to make sure it burns correctly and not always needed.

    Also before you burn this, do you have a modded PSX or other method of playing CD-R games? if not you will be waisting a CD

    If you dont' have a modchip you can still play PSX games on your Playstation using this method on this site.

    I also don't think ePSXe can run imbNES. I tried it once and couldn't get it to work. I do know that CVGS can run imbNES though.

    All PlayStations can play CD-Rs. To insert a modchip you have to actually open up the PSX and solder the chip to the motherboard.
    You can use my swap trick guide to play burnt PlayStation games on a PlayStation without a modchip. Here is the link... again.

    ePSXe runs it fine it was just the older versions of ImbNES that wouldn't work.

    I wouldn't bother myself using any swop trick specially with an older model, you would end destroying your PSX that way.

    You can still chip the PSX gray model (even the ones with out the back expantion port), your thinking of the Arcion Replay Card copy trick, an Action Replay type device but it stops the CD you have in after it loads up letting you swop CD's safely without damaging your PSX, but a proper PSX chip is no swop trick and lets you play PSX CDR games just like your originals

    Your beter off buying a proper boot CD, it's still a swop trick really but the CD drive stops so again it is safe to change CD's.

    If you see offers for boot CD's you can download just ignor them because they do not work without a chip

    By the way there was only one PSX that could boot PAL, NTSC and Jap NTSC and that was the Black PSX. (I also have some memory of a white machine (not the PSone) but that may have been bull)

    I know people that have been using the swap trick for over 4 years now. They say that their PlayStation still works perfectly.
    In rom bank you have the option to remove all the games that use unsupported mappers. I did that. I got practicly the entire goodset on the disk. Here are the games I got on.
