New member, big fan. Apologies if I missed a sticky post but I have two questions.
#1) Are there instructions available on how to back up a PS1 game, which is NOT already dumped, using a MacOS computer? A friend has an old one-of-a-kind PS1 game that I want to be preserved. I am a windows user and have ImgBurn. He is reluctant to send it to me (tbh, I don't want to take the chance of it getting lost in the mail). He sent via google drive a .CDR image of it but although ImgBurn wrote the image, it doesn't work on a PS1 or emulator (and the directory looks odd). I'm thinking whatever software he used didn't copy the image correctly. I need to give him simple instructions and make it as painless as possible otherwise he will just keep the disc.
#2) I found source code to an unreleased PS1 game which I thought I lost years ago. When I first obtained this, the programmer told me that it should work but I don't have the knowledge to compile it. Is there any interest in someone trying to compile it and getting it to work to preserve? I assume PS1 dev kits and knowledge of how to use them is very rare these days.
Thank you all!
