PSX games spielen wie????????

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This version does not support real CDs. There are a different set of technical
hurdles involved with PSX cds than with SegaCD and PCE CD/SCD. I was finally
able to get the XBox to read XA sectors, but it reads them much too slowly
for anyone to want to play games using it. (Reads about 2.5KB per second)

For now, create BIN/CUE's of your PSX games and either copy them to your HD or
burn them to DVDR/CDRW. Your BIN and CUE files should have the same names:

For example:

GAMENAME.BIN
GAMENAME.CUE

is a valid combination and

GAMENAME01.BIN
GAMENAME.CUE

is not.

Furthermore, if you use GZIP to compress your BIN image, you will end up with
a filename like

GAMENAME.BIN.GZ

This means that you need to rename your CUE file to be:

GAMENAME.BIN.CUE

or you could rename the GZ file so that the two files are:

GAMENAME.GZ
GAMENAME.CUE

make sense?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A note about GZIP'ing your images. Yes, they will work, but you will suffer
a performance hit because there's no "true" direct access to any position in
the file. Let's say the game is reading sectors 1 to 100 - it'll read them
lickity-split, but then when it requests, say, sector 30000 is has to scan through
and do some processing on sectors 100 to 30000 before it can read the data instead
of just jumping directly to that spot and reading. This is the nature of compression.
No, cacheing of data does not help in this case. So, in a nutshell, compression
is supported, but I advise against it unless you run from the HD and have replaced
the standard XBox HD with a faster one.

You can make an XBox ISO with a BIN/CUE image on it, burn it to a disc, run PCSXBox
from the HD, then press the RTHUMB button to get a listing of files on the disc.
This is to make upgrading easier for those who prefer to keep BIN/CUE images
on disc instead of on the HD.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

When you select the BIN file to load, you will be presented with an options menu.
You can start the game using one of two different BIOS methods. Using an actual
BIOS file for the emulation is the most compatible, however it's a little slower
than HLE. Try both and see which one works best for the game you're playing.
