Well, if you have your original PS disc's, then there are programs around which you can use.
I use a program called MagicISO, which creates .bin and .cue images of my discs for me, so that I can transfer over to the Xbox. I'm sure there are a number of different ways to do it though, thats just one of them.
All support and advice is given on the basis that you own the original disc's. We give all members the benefit of the doubt, so if you say you do, we accept that as the truth.

I just go to EB Games and buy the original PSX games by the handfull being that they are so damn cheap now. I can get like 8 to 10 for $20. Then i just make images of them and transfer them to the xbox About 50% of them play perfect, another 30% are OK and about 20% wont play at all, they just lock up. But I still have an original psx console for them

I wonder that as well. I have an N64 and a ton of games that are protected. There's gotta be soemthing on the net about making roms if you google it.

There are programs out there that will allow you to create ROM's, you'll find you'll be searching through pages and pages of Google results though. As for overcoming the protection, there's always a way. Has a protection been created on disc's that hasn't been cracked yet??
Creating ROM's seems to be one of those subjects that no-one seems to be able to find any info on, but search hard guys, you'll find something in the end.

How to interface an old snes cartridge with the pc is my biggest stumper , i would imagine the software would be easier to come by than the hardware neccesary to do this little project. But yeah , digging real deep into the google searches in the answer. Sounds like a treasure hunt to me , guys!! If we can pull this off we should host some roms for the VIP member section ( for obvious reasons ) or something. "POP" would be required , somehow if needed.

If you still cant find those roms your looking for PM me or get me on msn or AIM. I might be able to help you find em. Took me awhile, but I have ROMS of just about al of my N64, SNES, Genesis, and NES games. Though I wouldn't mind getting my hands on those sytems again. I miss playing em off the original cartridges. _________________

I also have quite a few roms to back up my games for NES, N64, SNES, TG16, Sega Genesis, Sega CD and a few other consoles. I know of a few good resources

Well i made some Bin files with magic iso of my psx disks, and im using psx xbox or whatever it is. When i try to load the game it says cannot load bios SCPH-1001 and will only give me option to go back. Then i choose the HLE option instead of bios and the screen just goes black. Same with my surreal 64 emulator, starcraft wont load on it, just a black screen. Any ideas whats wrong? _________________
