PS1 Games on a Softmodded FMCB PS2?

[DanielRemains]

Is that possible? I miss Driver 2 and I'm wondering if I could play it on my FMCB PS2. If so, would I have to patch the ISO with the Game Patcher? Also, the game I'm getting is in .mdf format. How would I convert it to ISO without breaking it?

Thanks guys, nice forum!

There are (only) 2 possible methods.

1. PS2PSXe Preview (without sound), PS1-Emulator for PS2, t start images from different devices...

2. Disc-Swapping with a PS-CD.

Thanks for the reply TnA.

Can you link me to that "PS1-Emulator for PS2" please? And what is "t start images from different devices"

Thanks for the reply TnA.

No problem.

Can you link me to that "PS1-Emulator for PS2" please?

Look at this sub-forum: --> Official ESR Forums - PSX-SCENE: Ahoy!
There are 2PS2PSXe-Threads on the first page.

And what is "t start images from different devices"

t=to...
I just forgot an 'o'.
PS2PSXe is the only way of starting PS-images/ISOs on a PS2 from different devices...

Now thats funny DR

Here is how I play PS1 backups on a slim PS2, using fmcb 1.8 and uLe


I play PS1 backups on a slim PS2 with fmcb 1.8
by using the following method and an Original PS1 CD

If you own a Slim PS2, you can play PS1 backups using fmcb 1.8 and uLe
if the following conditions are met

- PS1 Original disc
-sensors on PS2 need to be disabled, either by tools, fliptop or tape and tissue method
-uLe by default in fmcb is R1 on the PS2 trigger

I configure uLe already to have 'Disc Control' set to 'on'
And I also configured 'PS2 Browser' (its under misc/ in FILEBROWSER) to a shortcut key in uLe

1. Place your Original PS1 disc in the PS2
2. Start up fmcb and hold R1
3. uLe will load, disc will stop
4. Swap Disc via fliptop or having sensors blocked
5. Press shortcut key for 'PS2 Browser' or use FILEBROWSER to search for PS2 Browser

Your PS2 will restart and should now play your PS1 backup


And for an .mdf file, I just load it in a Virtual drive such as Alcohol 120 has, then use 'imgburn' to create an ISO image

Merci win!

Unfortunatly I don't have any original PS1 games but thanks for the info, it will be useful someday for sure! And about the .mdf file I got it converted to ISO using ISOBuddy by DVD Ranger (freeware).
