What's the easiest way to play burnt PS1 games on real hardware, without having to spend 10 minutes trying to swap the discs out fast enough to get it to boot?

As I was reading the replies to this thread my slim PS2 running a burnt PS1 game had the tape come off the lid detector and stop, it's usually not a problem I just hate how unpredictable it is.

I'm not getting anything when I search for "PS1 boot disc" on ebay, and do they work with PS2s? That seems like the easiest option though.

I really need to know if popping a Playstation disc (real or burned) into a PS2 will play it natively or invoke emulation, or does PS2 only do emulation? Right now I'm playing PS1 isos using PS2's Popstarter emulator through USB/SMB and the results are hit or miss.

>>3696620
So you are strictly speaking in terms of using the disc drive right? Because Popstarter I believe is emulation based. Everywhere I look, Popstarter is described as "Sony's PS1 emulator", where as Popsloader is the equivalent for PSP, which is in fact emulation.

>>3696589
Quite frankly, if you're playing from a burnt disc, it's not emulation. It's basically a ps1 at this point, with faster disc speeds (there are some other minor differences, but I don't feel like digging up specifics in order to not get anything wrong and trigger the autists.)

Once you start playing PS1 games straight from ISOs, whether it be via USB or a bootloader for the HDD, it gets wonky. It was just never meant for that.

Even if it happens, just buy another one, they aren't hard to find or even that expensive. Hell, I've got 4 of them sitting in my office closet right now: 2 fats (one modded with a flip top shell) and 2 slims, and I'm not even a collector. They just show up at yard sales for $10, and I'm always scumming them for parts when my modded main one breaks.

We've already covered that the only way a PS2 can play PS1 games from HDD is via emulation.

Just buy this shit >>3697130 if you don't want to open your playstation to put a modchip.

That's the best way to play iso on ps1. I remember Seiken Densetsu wasn't playable on modded ps1 but you could enter a code to bypass the piracy protection with pic related.

Thing have maybe changed and you can patch your iso to remove protections.

With the price of pic programmers these days you may as well buy one and a few chips and do it yourself. It will probably cost less than buying and shipping a single programmed chip and you'll have spares is you fuck one up or want to mod more consoles.
You can also then try different versions to see what works best for your console.

Slim PS2 with a softmod. It has actual PSX hardware and runs every PSX game perfectly, no matter what that compatibility list says. (I've personally played some of the games that are said not to work on any model. They worked fine.)

With a softmod, you can do an "assisted swap." The disc motor stops after verifying the real PS1 disc, so you can just switch them at your leisure.
