A reasonable suggestion.

Well, I recently bought a new computer finally. I'd been working with 200 MHz, and now that I've got power (1.8 GHz), I've been tinkering with CPU intensive emulation -- such as Nintendo 64 and PlayStation. Your emulator works nicely -- but I'd had people talk to me about ePSXe being really good so I tried it out. I've been ripping games with CloneCD... like... a ton of games. Now I have all these games ready to play -- and I've been playing them with ePSXe, I'd rather use your emulator just because it's self-contained, new project, etc. and I'd like to be a dedicated fanboy. But, as it stands, I can't use the image files with your emulator, but I can with ePSXe. They're all .IMG files, I'd very much appreciate it if you could get support for this in the next couple version, my rips have .CUEs and everything -- so the .CUE necessity wouldn't be a problem. Please consider doing this.

Thanks,
olaf of 'olafnes'

Try something like burnatonce, olaf, from www.burnatonce.com/index.htm?news. It's a free app that can rip to .bin/.cue format (among others); it works well. It won't crack copy protection, though - if you're using CloneCD (reason for the .img format?), which deals very well with copy protection, rip your games with that, apply whatever patches you need to (MegaGames is a good source - www.megagames.com/) to the .img image, then mount it (CloneCD can do that, of course; otherwise something like Daemon Tools, from www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/announcements.php, will do it) and rip to .bin/.cue with burnatonce.

If you want to shell out the ackers, CDRWin, from www.goldenhawk.com/, can rip direct to .bin/.cue format and should be able to deal with most copy protection.

I have CloneCD too, and it would be nice to have .img support in pSX, but I guess there are one or two other things that also need doing, so we'll have to wait our turn! ;-)

Ahh, thanks for the help. (:

ummm, just use the real CD's...psXemu supports real PSX cd's too

[patrickp]

Performance is usually better with images, medieval, and many people prefer them because they're more convenient - I certainly do!

Some people do have trouble reading CDs in pSX, as well. Each to their own! ;-)

Ya - I burned all FF7 and FF9 images to a dvd - it works great (hangs once in a while but it's fine, I deal with it.) Save on hard drive space :-)

[patrickp]

Well, if hard drive space is a problem...

You can always just mount the image with Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120.
