This is a very simple guide on how to create a PSX4IPHONE bootable PSX iso from an original PSX cd.

First of all, download the free version of Alcohol (52%) from: http://mirror1.free-downloads.net/3/Alcohol52_FE_1.9.6.5429.exe

Once you have installed that, follow these simple steps:


Put your original PSX game cd into your cd/dvd drive
Open Alcohol 52% and click "Image Making Wizard" from the list on the left
Tick the box that says "Read Sub-Channel Data from current disc"
From the Datatype drop-down list, select "Play Station"
In the Image Name box, enter the name of the game. This will be the name of your ISO file
From the drop-down list on the right, choose "CloneCD Image File"
Finally, choose a place to save the ISO file in the folder selector, and click Start


You can then upload the ISO to your "var/mobile/Media/ROMs/PSX" folder (or "var/root/Media/ROMs/PSX" if your on firmware 1.1.2 or earlier) to test if the game works with your version of PSX4IPHONE.

Please give us feedback on whether or not the game you tested works or not, via the Official PSX4IPHONE game compatability list (http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15700).

Thanks. :)

Nice guide Hazed. Can't wait for the public release to try my games. I also would like to confirm that Alcohol 120% works just as well and is the same procedure.

what is the password for the zip file for the playstation emulator

You want a ban?

Enjoy your 1 infraction point. You have also been reported to the Admin/Supermods.

Same goes for anyone else who asks for the PSX4IPHONE password.

I'm trying to rip King Of Fighters 99, Please WoRKs!!

EDIT: What's about the .ccd and .sub files that i get :S i get the ISO too but... what about this files?

You should end up with a :
.sub
.ccd
.img

You only need to upload the .img file.

what is the password for the zip file for the playstation emulator

I have clearly stated that asking for the PSX password will result in a one day ban. I am one to keep my promises, so you will now be banned for one day.

is there any programs for this for mac?

Helps a lot thx

I have clearly stated that asking for the PSX password will result in a one day ban. I am one to keep my promises, so you will now be banned for one day.

Why is it an offence to ask for this password? :confused: Dont ban me, im just curious

Because it is a private beta, and zodttd has clearly asked for it to not be given out by people who have donated and received it.

On top of that, thanks to people leaking it, zodttd has had to deal with hundreds of support requests via his email and forums, that were from people who shouldn't even have access to it! Thus slowing down it's production.

Therefore, to aid zodttd in the fight against these morons, we have setup a strict rule that states any person asking for the password will receive a temp ban with immediate effect.

Same goes for anyone else who asks for the PSX4IPHONE password. What is the PSX4IPHONE password? What does it do? Not which one is it, I don't care for that. I mean what is it for?

I dont even care enough about this stupid app to try to look for the code even if I did need it.

it will probably suck anyway.

Is there any programs to do this on a mac?

bump on this

Maybe toast to convert/rip to iso?

Will have to dig up my ps 1 discs!

yeah I'm using magic Iso, do I need Alcohol 52% to convert the .cue and .bin file t the appropriate .img files, or will the regular .iso file work on the emulator?

do they need to be ps1 games? or could they be for ps2

Umm... PS1. This is a guide for making iso images of PS1 games for the PSX emulator...

which file do you upload? .img, .sub, or .ccd?

hey guys I used MagicISO and made an ISO of Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped and when I tried to play it I get an error saying "Load Failed" but when i use my EpsxE emu on my comp the ISO worked fine. Do I have to do something special to get it to work on the psx4all?:confused:

thx

which file do you upload? .img, .sub, or .ccd?

I already answered this question on the first page of this thread. :confused:

Great simple guide.
Easy to follow. Thanks alot.:)

when I upload my img file to my ipod touch. When I open it. It say Bios NOT FOUND scph1001.bin Load Fail ??? Why this happen. I follow all your instruction plz help me ^^:)

The schp1001.bin file is a file which is not necessary but if you want better speed, then u should use it.

We are NOT gonna provide links for it here, because it is copyright Sony Corporation:mad:

But Google is Your Best Friend:D

putting the rom onto the ipod does not work when i put the rom into the proper folder it did not work it showed up as a game in my psx emulator and it did not find a bios when i start a game HELP plaease!!:mad:

Here is how to do it using Toast in OSX.
In Toast, select COPY and in the top menu select "save as a disc image".
Create the dmg. Last step, change .dmg to .iso.
Thats it!
I used Toast 8.0 and Leopard.

I'm now playing Crash Bandicoot on my iPodTouch. ;-)

I guess i'll go digimon world now. If anyone has a torrent link for Digimon please tell me. Thanks.

Tekken 3 is strange, im running the jap version. It's normal speed for the opening video but then slows down for menu's and gameplay. ?*eagerly awaits next version of emulator*

This worked so well...thanks a billion

when i insert a disk on my mac, it spins it for a 30 sec, and spits it out... can anyone help? (running leopard and toast 8)

thanks man

when i upload the .img file to my ipod it just says no PSX ROMs were found plz uplo...........

:confused:

do i need to convert it to a iso orr they the same:(

does this method of getting PSX ISOs work for a 1.1.4 ipod touch and psx4all and if so i need help for what im doing wrong

Yes it does, but you will want to make sure you put the isos in "var/mobile/Media/ROMs/PSX" instead of "var/root/Media/ROMS/PSX", i will update the guide now!

hazed: it is /var/mobile not /var/root/mobile

Oops, thanks :)

what aboiut mac users </3? sorry if its been asked already :)

Oops, thanks :)

No problem, it happens.

I have the game that appaers in the psx4all list, but when i want to start the game. It doesn't work. There appears a remark on the screen, something about missing a file (in os??) and then it goes to annother screen that says something about copyright etc... Bios is istalled. I had to creat the maps to put img file because i didn't find them. Is this normal or should they be there when i installed psx4all

I tried the game on pc and it starts en the copyright screen is apparently the start op screen of the game so it means dat it works on the ipod touch, but it doesn't continue it stays on that start op screen. Could the game itself be the problem? It's MGS (metal gear solid)

thanks this will help many!:)

so just stick the .img file under var/root/media/roms/psx ? and that should get the game up and running?

u do have to create roms and psx folder no? cause i did not see any =X
i just cant seem to get it working =X

hi im a newbie, /var/.... none of these directories are on my iphone do i just make them?

THANK you. Everywhere they are only saying where to download it. but nobody was that intelligent to make a tutoial like THIS. thx

Hey guys i followed this tutorial and loaded the .img file onto my ipod touch. When i eventually try and load up the rom it gets one screen into the game then freezes. Can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong.

I am using psxiphone version 0.8.0 and the scph1001.bin bios

Only thing i can think is that when i transfer the file it takes 15 mins via SSH when i have heard it usually takes 1-2 hours.

Any ideas?
