If I used Bin/Cue I get a.SRM File which is a save file and is easily moved/replaced/OR i can download a 100% save but can you do the same for.PBP? Are.PBP files likely to corrupt on me as well? I aint bothered about compression, just trying to make my PSX Folder tidy. Gameshark Ps1 Bin To Iso. Sony PlayStation 1 & 2. Convert ISO to BIN. The user can use MagicISO as BIN converter. MagicISO can convert ISO to BIN / CUE.

How you make and burn them really depends what you want to do with them afterwards. For playing in a modded ps2 you should use alcohol120 and burn in clone (ccd) mode at 4x with error skipping disabled. For running in an emulator anything which gives you a nice bin/cue or.img file will do. Just save them and burn as data files. I run emulators so I use k3b and dump as toc/data pairs. Same as bin/cue really.

Some later games need a special approach because they have different protection strategies. Always remember to rip with a dvd burner and make sure to rip the subchannel data (some games have the music there) and add it back when burning. Forefront tmg 2010. If it was that easy we would have NEVER bothered wiring up chips or designing printed swap disks. The PS2 swapmagic TOC is crazy taxi. It's the largest TOC anybody found. Still the problem of the media check remains.

And as I am sick of posting. Very few games will allow a swap with a different TOC. Especially later disks. I get so sick of trying to explain this to people with absolutely NO understanding of how the security systems actually work or are circumvented. Browser swap?

That's mostly crap too. Good way to trash disks and lasers is that one. Because a valid disk never stops spinning.

This is the only method I could figure out without having to use comms through a pc. Ill let the video speak for itself. Follow these instruction. 1: This method is for GameShark 2.x. May work for knockoff V2s.

2: Download X-Flash 1.2 Beta 3 Firefly. Simistornij regulator napryazheniya dlya induktivnoj nagruzki. Unzip and burn the disk with Imgburn. 3: Download roms you want from Only decrypted roms will flash onto the cartridge. Must be 256k for V2s. Pretty sure all knockoff roms are all decrypted. 3: Download X-flash 1.2 Beta 3.zip from 4: Make a directory called Xflash. Unzip Xflash 1.2 Beta 3 into it.

Unzip your rom files into it. Load command prompt. Goto Xflash folder. Type rename *.bin *.rom to rename any roms that have the bin extension.

Type Romfile.exe and it will make a romfile.dat with the rom information listed. 5: Open Imgburn. Select Mode then Build.

Under Options put data type as MODE2/FORM1/2352. Filesystem ISO9660. Then select browse for a file and select romfile.dat, romfile.exe, and the rom files that are in that directory. You probably dont need the roms in there cuz they are supposed to be in the dat file.

But to be safe I put them on there. After you have your files selected then select your destination and filename. Most likely it will be xflash.bin/cue.

Then press build to build the iso. 6: Burn the custom disk to cd. I burned at 16x but im sure 24x will work as well.

7: Use swap trick to load up Fireflys Xflash disk. Its important not to press start because the new cd will not read the roms if you go into that menu. Then take the disk out and put in the custom rom disk. Press start when the new disk is in. It will bring you to the rom menu.

Select appropriate rom and hit X to flash. If successful it will bring you back to the rom list. If not it will give a error saying update not successful. If not successful try another rom. 8: If you power cycle the Playstation on a un successful flash the Gameshark will not boot. Just do swap trick again and load a working decrypted rom.

9: That is all. I spent alot of time messing with this. This stuff is pretty much abandoned and its hard to find the info / files to do it right.

The roms ive tested with GameShark 2.0 are as follows: Zippy 0.33 Action Replay 3.3 Innovational Ahoy 0.34 EMS 1.55 Caetla 0.34.
