Serial port. Memory card uses a TTL serial interface. You can use modern projects like MemCarDUINO, which uses an Ardunio Uno board to act as a middle man between the memory card serial side and the USB PC side. Then you use software like Memcardrex to manipulate the memory card.
You can't use burned discs in a PS1 unless you are using a swap expliot or have a mod chip connected to the console's motherboard. Mayumi is the mod chip you want if you decide to look for one. Even if the console was modded, the burned disc has to be a CD-R, CD-RWs won't work. The Playstation's disc drive is only capable of reading CD-R discs. The most recent swap exploit is called TonyHax. You can find the website explaining the exploit in detail with a web search; You will know you are on the right website when you see the orca whale picuture at the top of the webpage. The swap trick requires that you own one of several different games with a save game exploit; These save game exploits allow a user to swap in a burned game/application disc and avoid the security checks. You will need some way of loading the expliot to a memory card from a PC or via a PS2 using a freeMCBoot memory card. I recommend the PC way but, do whatever you are comfortable with. If you want to connect your memory card to your PC to load save data onto it, which you will need to do in order to perform the TonyHax swap exploit, you will need to fashion a home made TTL serial cable and use an arduino uno loaded with MemCARDuino, another fantastic project. Once you have your working interface between the memorycard and the PC you use the application called memcardrex, to deploy, or backup/remove, data from your memory card. Once you have your save exploit on the memory card, play your game supporting the exploit, load the save, the exploit takes over, it then asks you to swap discs, swap in your disc, close the disc tray, watch it load your game/application. Congrats, happy gamer time. Lol. Hope that helps.
Archades Games i find the whole emu thing fascinating. I would love to learn &see anything similar to this vid. My personal fav systems to be emulated are neo geo, dreamcast and ps1. But i honestly like them all lol. And the actual program doesnt matter😁👍
Joe Ceresini I am doing a Retroarch PS1 emulation setup tutorial for next week! Kind of showed a little if it in this one but there are cool things like shaders and advanced options I didn't show at all.
Thank you so much for putting this video together! I am unfortunately stuck at the part where the console needs to read the disc. I tried two different CD-Rs and the PS1 doesn't recognize either of them. I currently have a SCPH-7501, and I verified that it can read other PS1 discs. Do you have a specific console version you're using? Are there any mods that are required for this to work? If so, can you direct me to the best way to mod the PS1? Thanks!
@@ArchadesGames Thanks for the quick reply! I got it off of ebay so I am not sure if it is modded. What is the swap method? EDIT: And how can I tell if it is modded? The seller made no indication that it was modded.

Hi. I follow the steps and burned the dumper into the cd. However when I put the memory card and the cd into my ps1 console, it says please insert ps1 cdrom, it does not recognize it. Could you please help on that? Thank you
Ps1 emulation on a phone or the switch is the closest you can get to true portability besides the expensive ps one screen that isnt really portable. Also there are widescreen and HD hacks that unless it's a rom hack that's designed to work on real hardware there is a good chance that it wont work (even simple texture mods like repainted games are often sadly only designed to work on emulators). Not that there may be that much for ps1 but its possible.
@@ArchadesGames whats the chances i could send my PS1 to you and get the bios dumped out onto a disk or another way and sent back? i dont have any of the tools except a ps1 and memory card

Hello but how can i dump the bios off from my PS1 model SCPH-1000R? It has no memory card slot and it only opens the disc if needed to in game, it only has 1 hdmi port. and the controller ports are USB. Also nice video!! I also forgot to mention that it cant boot up to a usb or disc or memory card.
Hey man I'm wondering if you can help me, I bought what I thought was a modded PS1 on eBay. I wanted to dump it's BIOS, when I put the Dumper disc in the console it says "NOT licensed by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc." and won't load. Am I doing something wrong?

@@ArchadesGames i think they mean could you turn a us ps1 into a diferent one say... Japanese one... by flashing the bios. but then flash it back with the original as if nothing happened. If not it doesnt make sense.
@@ArchadesGames i know it isnt possible. im just saying that could have been the question the original poster was asking? otherwise thier question doesnt make sense.
It is actually possible. Theres a ps1 bios flasher that you can burn to a disc. I was attempting to use it to flash a corrupt bios. Unfortunately it couldn't detect the IC to flash, so it didn't work. So if your bios is ok, other than changing the region, which im not sure would work, im not sure why you would flash a working bios. Im assuming the program is used to flash ic rom chips to replace corrupt ic rom chips. Will in the UK does this at $35 a chip.
It matters that anytype of monetary gain is the illegal part. Unless it involves adding more charges to a criminal that's already going down for other crimes
What PlayStation emulator do you all use most often?
Archades Games I use PCSX-R, but when i get the bios on retroatch thats what ill use
ePSXe on Android is my fav! This saved my sanity many times at long hours at the hospital!
Joe Ceresini Awesome! I honestly only do emulation on my phone over any standard phone game.
Archades Games PSXFin on PC
PCSX and Adrenaline on Vita
ePSXe. That's my favorite and ost stable PS emulator.
Always I live wondering about how to legally emulate
Glad I could show some of the steps!
amazing ,video man ,,,plz continue
Thanks, I plan to continue for many years to come! If there are any tutorials or compare requests you would like to see done always feel free to share em as well!
Great video! Very informative! I will try this out one day.
DIZZVIPER Thanks! It is a easy project as long as you have the materials!
How was the BIOS dumped way back in the day without a PS2?
Modchips and Serial ports would be my guess. The Gameshark 3.0 and it's paralell port maybe could do it also?
There were memory card to PC adapters back in the day like the DeX drive but likely it was through the parallel/serial port or something
Xplorer via parallel port, serial with your own program or alternatively a GS/AR+commslink
Serial port.
Memory card uses a TTL serial interface.
You can use modern projects like MemCarDUINO, which uses an Ardunio Uno board to act as a middle man between the memory card serial side and the USB PC side.

What was that flash drive you were using? Some type of SD card adapter? What brand? Does it matter the brand etc??? Thank you
Something like transcend. Shouldn't matter too much for sd card readers, most I have used have worked.
And here I've seen how to legally put in a PS2 bios using Swap Magic.
Ah, the proper way to do it 😃 I'm so slim shady...
AncientGamestar Will the real Slim Shady please stand up!
Archades Games 😀😁😂
Wonder if anyone can tell me in 2019 how to do this on a SCPH-101 PSone console. Thanks
It's the same process as shown in the video(or should be)?
@@anonymousidea9119 It isn't. PSone has no parallel port. You cannot easily connect any sort of storage other than the standard memory card.

You have to have to use a method of getting the PS1 to read burned discs
When I put the memcard on PS2 show the message "not formated", even I formating e repeating process again. Do someone knows how to solve it?
What if you don’t want to spend money on a PlayStation. and if you have a actual PlayStation why emulate in the first place

If it's not modded you can do the swap disk method
