    Default Possibility of multiple games in one disc?

    Hello,

    I'm not quite sure if this is the right place to post this at, but I'm curious -- is it possible to create a multi-boot disc with the games one would like? And if so, how would one go on about doing it?

    EDIT: For clarification, I speak of PS1 games.

    I've done some searching around this section but I didn't find anything regarding this. I either failed to see it or it doesn't exist yet. In any case, I thank you in advance for any replies.

    It can be done but will not work with most games

    Also most the games that are like that (there may be a few floating around) are usually bad rips missing music and or fmv, some will even crash out at later points in the game, so grab those at your own risk

    The reason is because of LBA checks that most games have and those will never work together on a single CD

    as for creating your own there are menu boot files you can use around aswell (I realy don't remember offhand what it was called "PSX Demo Menu" maybe, but I used that more for the very few emulators there are for the PSX (emu's for the PSX are not realy worth it by the way except maybe the NES emu IMBN aka It Might Be NES, but you can fill a CD with NES roms with ease))

    EDIT:- Forgot to add that not just any cd buiding tools can be used because of the special headers that are created when the CD structure is built for xa and str files (sound and video files) these headers are not directly part of the file as they are created after and simply will not work on a Playstation or emulator without that header

    You need the official sony PSX CD building tool and a few other bits to make a burnable CD image, last time I looked you can't even install that on vista onwards I think it has XP support 98 and 2K I know it does I have used the tools in the past (for other PSX projects)
