Recent SD cards can hold more than 100 games without compression. In this guide, we’ll show you the basics how you can play Playstation 1 games on your computer using the emulator ePSXe. If you need to compress your games, the best format is PBP.
We recommend bin/cue, img/ccd or pbp.Ī: Most common compressed formats such as zip, 7z and rar can't provide random file access to the data which is required given the large size so uncompressing on the fly is not possible.
We will use rom or iso to refer to a game dump.
In other platforms (Nintendo64 for example), the games are stored in memory ROM in a cartridge, so it is commonly called rom. A: PSX games are stored on cdrom discs, and a dump of a cdrom disc is currently called "iso".
