Seifer989 · May 7th, 2007

I just wanted to educate myself a bit by seeing how other people do this, and if one is better than the other, then why?

From what I've seen using an ISO definitely gives you a boost in performance, but takes up disk space. While Cd-Rom can be packed up and stored away until it's played again.

From what I've seen making ISOs from game Cds are slow and I mean SLOW. But burning the ISO that you made appears to be fine and on the fly. Why is this?

How do you coordinate things when it comes to organizing your PSX game/backup collection, and why do you do it that way? Which is the best way?
