Great video! Thank you for the information. Just a PSA if anyone is having these problems: 1. If the dropdown list in PSX2PSP doesn't work (as in, you can't select anything), try starting the program using classic mode. 2. If PSX2PSP gets stuck at 100% the file may be ready, despite the program not saying "Done" or anything like that.

@@lokil0k81 Short answer: Probably yes. Long answer: It depends on the used core. It relies on the core which formats he supports. But a core that is available on the Miyoo Mini and supports certain formats there then it's safe to assume that core supports those same formats on any other RetroArch host device (such as a PC or Android phone) if the core is available there as well. And since RetroArch on Android has every core that is available on the Miyoo Mini, you should be fine.

Great Video - it seems even if the game doesn't have more than 1 disk but has more then 1 BIN file, you still need to select them all w/ the PSXtoPSP tool to export to PBP. My question is what do you do if there is 5+ BIN files? For example MK Trilogy has about 10+ in the zip file, and the PSXtoPSP tool seems to only allow you to select 5 BIN files. I already tried just selecting the 1st BIN file and see what happens (the game launches but crashes almost shortly after as if it's not "complete"). Thanks for any help. I am not using Onion so i skipped to the end as suggested. I have installed many games with your method that have less than 5 BIN files with no problem, I'm just lost on what to do when there is more than 5.

Hello! Yes you can. During a PS1 game, press the function button > Native Menu > Extra Stuff then either "Change CD image" to load a whole new file or "Next multidisk CD" for multidisk PBPs.
Is there any way to select the particular ps1 bios you want to use depending on the game?
My Miyoo Mini doesn't run the majority of .EBOOT files I tried running on it. Can't understand why... It just dumps me back on the main screen.

Marginally better compression, that's about it
Thanks so much for the video, I couldnt finish it for some reason once i clicked on the folder "CUE or GDI to CHD.bat" the terminal window closes almost immediately 2:18 so none of my games get converted and secondly where do I paste the chd files once they are converted? do i need to create ps1 emulator if so how?. Maybe the source where I get my games are not the best? if you could help me out with that issue or maybe sending links from where you get yours. Thank you already suscribed!
Thank you for the viddo. I have a question PLEASE. My SD got corrupted in PS folder in Miyoo the second day of use, now trying to recover the full folder, I got the games in my computer but once I copied to the new folder nothing works. Where I can find a solution? I've tried to googled it but I don't even know how to find it, I'm old player.
Im using stock os on ra for the rg35xx plus. I tried to add ps1 game i put two bin files and a cue file in the folder. When i try boot up i just get like a very initial intro screen and it just doesn't go beyond that. Any ideas?
Do you have to change discs every time you want to load the game? For example Twisted Metal 2 has 12 discs (tracks) on the file I downloaded... how would I even know which one to load ... and that's quite a hassle every time I would load the game anyway?
I tried this process for many PS games which were bin. or cue. instead of pbp. but Final Fantasy VII and VIII didn't work even if I merged them. Maybe I didn't convert one after one to pbp before merging??

Awesome video, but a question just to be clear... when I'm converting Multidisc games via psx2psp, I am kind of ignoring the cue file? When there is one disc, you seem to incorporate the file into the chd. But psx2psp seems to pick out just the bin file. This is normal?
