This file contains text-mode tools, scripts, and you will have some work to use them: In this download there are no tools where everything is solved with one click. Tools to create thumbnails, backgrounds and icons for PBP files are included. None! The best option is to give it up while you can and go download games from CDRomance:īut if you want to try it, you can download the PSXTOOLS.ZIP file, which contains all the tools needed to compress, extract or convert several formats such as: PAQ9A, BIN, CBN, CDZ, CHD, CSO, CUE, DATA+MODE, ECM, IMG, ISO, PBP and RAR/RAR5. What's the easiest way to decompress the paq9a games/roms?Ī. If you don't know what this is, please download your games from CDRomance: Since I don't have such a powerful processor, the files were compressed in Paq9a. Other algorithms in the PAQ family - like Paq8o, for example - are better, but it requires a really very powerful processor. I compressed this collection between 20 and so far one of the most effective popular and accessible compression methods is Paq9a: The 7z/Rar compression is awesome, but the size (in GB) of the game library increases a lot. This content has been compressed to be a backup. Would the alternative upload of the content in 7z/Zip/Rar be viable?Ī. I tested several games and all tested worked on ePSXe and DuckStation for Windows and Android. Perhaps you unzip a broken or non-working game. Please go to CDRomance:Īlso, I haven't tested all the 1400+ games. If you don't have time to unzip a file that can take an hour or more, don't download it. Unpacking Paq9a files takes much longer than what you probaly are used to, like RAR or 7Z. Compression algorithms from the PAQ family are known to be slow, but effective. If you still want to download the Paq9a files here, know that this is not about your time. Go to CDRomance, where the files are extracted quickly: Why should I wait for a decompression that takes so long?Ī. If you don't know what it is, don't download it. Here you will find compressed files in ECM/Paq9a and DATA+MODE/Paq9a. You'll find BIN/ISO/CHD files on sites like CDRomance: The files you are looking for are not here. Where are the easy-to-download, ready-to-run BIN and CHD files?Ī. Some games may not work on specific emulators, so I strongly recommend that you download games from CDRomance: The games I tested worked on ePSXe and DuckStation for Windows and Android. However, I haven't tested every one of the 1400+ games. Several game elements are removed to reduce its size, so the games become smaller but still playable. As the title says, these are "ripped" games. Missing CD tracks, games with no music and no movies. What is the password to unzip the PSXTOOLS.ZIP file?
