This makes it easy to switch discs in RetroArch. This is a compressed format that has the advantage of being able to merge multiple discs into one single file for each game. bin/.cue now, so these two formats aren’t essential. MDS are accurate formats, as they can both retain subchannel data.
#WORKING PSX ROMS ISO#
ISO for PSX games.Īs mentioned above, CCD and. ISO format images can also work, but ISO files can’t contain CD audio tracks, but BIN can. As long as there’s a cue file present, emulators don’t have any issue reading them. If you’ve downloaded some roms online, you’ve probably run into some with multiple files in bin format. Those were done by DiscJuggler, typically.
#WORKING PSX ROMS SOFTWARE#
bin/.cue.iso was generic and pretty much all software supported it.CCD was CloneCD’s format.MDS was Alcohol’s format. The image format is usually determined by the software that originally dumped the disc. PSX games, much like other disc-based games can come in several flavours. I think there still might be some confusion here about all the formats, so let me sum things up. You probably won’t see too many of these floating around.

You might also come across MDS format, which is what Alcohol 120% used.

Loading either the cue file or the CCD will is right. And most if not all emulators support it. What core should I be using? I tried PCSX ReARMed but that doesn’t seem to work at all, in fact when Load Content that core doesn’t even come up as an option so I use Beetle. Previously I’ve used ePSXe to load Playstation games direct from the CD-ROM but the games run too fast. ISO? Will those work in RetroArch? Would music tracks still work? I have all my original Playstation discs. The difference between this one and the other one with the four files is the one that works is a European PAL version, the one that doesn’t work is North American NTSC version, in fact none of the NTSC ROMs work. RetroArch says it just fails to load and that’s from load content again because it won’t show up in my games list. ecm suffix at the end? This ROM doesn’t load at all. I’ve also had a ROM the same as above but the. That ROM loaded and does appear in my games list but doesn’t have box art. img appears to be the main file as it’s the biggest. bin file and that worked though RetroArch can’t see the game despite scanning the directory so I have to load content instead.Ī different ROM I downloaded has four files. Other systems just have the one file but Playstation seems to have several and in different formats.
