Mods, feel free to move this topic if you wish -- not really sure of the best place to post this.
I recently got from a friend for cheap a older Playstation 1 game. The thing was heavily damaged, though, and even after treating it with my Game Doctor I can only get it to play some of the time. I have a PS2 only, no original PlayStation.
I'd like to make a CD-R copy of the game so that if and when the game goes 'kaboom' I can still play it.
I know I can't just stick the game CD into my computer and make a copy, due to the boot code found on the PSX games.
There seem to be several devices out there on the net that say they will play copied CD's, but there's so many options, I don't really know which one is best, or which online sites are reliable, or even how exactly these mod chips and what not WORK.
And do I HAVE to buy something? Seems like a waste to spend $30 or so just to make a copy of a $5 game.....
But I supose it might be nice to have the option to play imports as well in case the mood ever strikes.
Thanks in advance for the help.
