Stupid question: is there any possible way to play my ISO on my PSX/PS2?  I've got an emulator, but the graphical capabilities of my computer aren't the best and my chair isn't very comfortable, so I'm thinking my immersion will be somewhat impeded without DualShock sticks under my thumbs.

Appreciated!

Otherwise, public scourging is allowed, as I R ignorant.

For ps1 I guess you'd use a gameshark, but I don't know too much about it since I haven't tried it before.

For ps2 you can get swapmagic 3.6 from here http://modchipstore.com/PS2-Slide-Card- ... 16158.html if you have a fat ps2 or here http://modchipstore.com/Slim-Tool-Swap- ... 16261.html if you have a slim one.

Then get some blank cds, i've read that verbatim and TDK are good brands, and burn the iso onto it.

I haven't ever actually burnt a ps1 game to play due to the fact that my ps2 can't play most ps1 games, but I have burned and played multiple ps2 games so I know this stuff works.

Failing that you can get a addapter for your ps2 controller or one of the offbrand usb controllers so you don't have to play using the keyboard at least.

On fourth thought, it's fine playing it via emulator.  At least this way I can edit on the fly if need be.  Really I just need a new computer chair, which I, uh, now realize might be somewhat difficult for you guys to help with.

But this does give me ideas if I ever get to the point where I am beyond satisfied with my patch and want to play it like a legitimate PS1 thing, so thanks to both of you.
