It would be nice to support *.sbi files so one can play games with Lybcript protection from hard disk.
One day old CDs won't be readable anymore and it's a good idea to have a working unmodified copy on HD which can still be played. I don't like patching the whole image, if it can be done at runtime and I prefer keeping my images as original as possible.

Rip your images to CloneCD format with subcode.
Should be the same thing as far as I can tell.

You can also apply patches in pSX 'on the fly,' buttercup.
But, as Sune says, copy protected games generally seem to work pretty well on pSX if you use the CloneCD .ccd/.img/.sub format. Hopefully pSX Author will extend this to other subcode inclusive formats like .mds/.mdf at some point.
It doesn't hold in all cases but, generally speaking, if a game will play in ePSXe with .sbi files, it should play in pSX in CloneCD format.

SBI is ideal format for storing LibCrypt data. CCD, MDF and others are crappy because they don't support storing each track separately. No need to store the whole .sub file, because it can't be dumped perfectly anyway. So why should we waste space for garbage? SBI format support is a must.

Well hello Dremora. What a lot of people don't seem to understand here is that pSX Author has about a million things that he's trying to do as well as reading for new requests. If this ever gets implememted it may be several more versions after this. Based on what I've read from pSX Author his main concern is getting the games to run and everthing else comes second.
