well first off my ps1 is Modded with a chip.....i have been backing up my games and most of them seem to work just fine however one could not be backed up...so i found a bin and cue off the game online...i am unsure an how to burn it so it will run on my PS1 and the same for a iso file i came across i burned them both with alchohol 120% and they didn't boot up....i also have a modded ps2 that is using an exploit and cogswap i am also unsure how to run ps1 games on it, i can run ps2 backups fine but not ps1 games....im sorry if i posted in the wrong place i didn't see a PS1 section only a Ps2 sections so i figured id drop it here....but any help will be appriciated!!!let me know if you need more information about my problem.
First off,
how exactly did you burn the files to disc? (steps, speed etc.)
It could be that you got a bad image off line (this happens, trust me! it's not your fault)
Second,
What version ps2 do you have or what's the scph # on the back of the ps2?

easy way to load a ps1 backup in a ps2 is to put an origonal ps1 game in and at the splash (ps1 screen) swap it with the backup
The first thing you should do is try running the downloaded files in an emulator on your pc. That will tell you if they actually work ;) Your ps1 may not be playing them because they are wrong region.. which does happen.. or they are late series games which need a six wire stealth chip install..
Ah, Neptune, i tried that swap on my v7 ps2 and it didn't work.
I use the swap trick that wizzdome came up with on my unmodded ps1 to play backups though. It's pretty neat.
Anyway, Marz13, does your lens get stuck at times playing backups?
I use Nero and Alcohol 120% to burn ps1 games and they work except for Tomb Raider 2, which i think is mod-protected.
Open Nero(startsmart), select cd, select burn image to disc, browse for the .cue file, choose speed 4x and burn.
You haven't been replying though, are you even reading these coz we are trying to help!
