PSX backup and general info

All PSX games have copy protection and region coding. This is an attempt by Sony to dictate what consumers can use and buy from the local games shop.

The only way around this is to install a modchip into your psx. This is needed to play NTSC games on a PAL PSX and vice versa and to play backups and so-called Hong Kongs.

Installing a modchip requires some soldering skill. Unless you feel like killing your playstation it is suggested that you get someone that knows what they are doing to install it.


Burning the CD

  • Use Verbatim Data Life Plus CDR Disks
  • Use CDRWin, Nero Burning Rom or Prassi CD Right
  • Read data at full speed and audio tracks at one speed
  • Write the entire disk at one speed
  • Enjoy
    •

    This is the best way to ensure that there is no skipping in the video or audio.
