Ripping psx games

Is there an app in the repos that will allow me to rip my own psx games into either iso or bin/cue format?

Doesn't the dd command work? dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/psxgame.iso

Re: Ripping psx games

dd works for any non-mixed disc (ie without cdda)

To know recursion, you must first know recursion.

I did that and only 16kb of the game was copied.

Try:

# readcd dev=ATA:1,0,0 -clone -noerror -nocorr f=cd_image.raw

This image can be burned with cdrecord, with the clone and raw options set to get a full (including subdata) backup (that is if your writer and reader support writing/reading raw subchannel data).

or maybe:

cdrdao read-cd --device ATA:1,0,0 --driver generic-mmc-raw -v 2 --datafile CD.bin --read-raw CD.toc

then

cdrdao write --device /dev/cd/cdrw-hdc --speed 8 --eject CD.toc

Please experiments. Those are taken from an old file I'm keeping for notes.

The problem I had was that sometimes the CD wasn't readable. The program trying to read was stalling. It could have been because my drive wasn't good enough. I needed to reboot the machine to be able to use the drive.

This is all from memory, so try it and hope it will help!

Re: Ripping psx games

I haven't ripped any psx games in a while but I slightly remember two methods that worked. One is to use the cdrdao method. The other method would be to use Brasero. It is the only graphical cd burning/ripping program that I tried that ripped psx games to a format that psx emulators could use. I tested it out with my copies of Parasite Eve and Final Fantasy VII. Just to note, brasero is in the community repository.

I have Brasero, but I don't see an option to rip.
