Archiving PSX-Games - Which format?

trinity · October 14th, 2001

i'd like to archive all my psx games on a harddisc (or perhaps dvd's). which format should i choose to be able to play them directly with the emulators? i think there aren't that many options. i can think of a cdrwin image; but then i have a binary and a cue-file (<- is this really needed?). or another format i can think of is the iso format. any other format i forgot? thanx for any recommandions, guys!

Hmm...

AdriPSX current emulator runs ISO format
FPSE using ISO plugins can run BIN / CUE and ISO format
EPSXE can run BIN / CUE , ISO, and IMG formats

The ISO format is common in these 3 emulators....so it would probably be your best bet for a archive standard
