PS1 Highly Compressed Games — Fixed

PS1 games originally came on CDs, which held roughly 650MB to 700MB of data. A standard ROM file (ISO or BIN) is an exact copy of that disc. If you have a library of 50 games, you are looking at 30GB+ of storage space.

• Symptom: Cutscenes skip or lock up.
• Cause: Overly aggressive video bitrate reduction or broken frame indexing.

1. Download a tool called PSX2PSP (Windows only).
2. Open the tool, select "PBP to ISO."
3. Convert the file. It will grow in size (return to normal size) but will now work on ePSXe or DuckStation.

Originally for the PSP, these files combine multi-disc games (like Final Fantasy VII) into a single, smaller file. PS1 Highly Compressed Games — Fixed PS1 games
