I want to relive the glory days of my PS1 games, but I don't want to wear out my original disks, as they are already heavily used and want to keep them in as good a condition as possible. I have considered a few options, but am unsure which path to venture down...

1: Get my PS2/a new PS2 and get a chip ion it to play copied games, so I can then simply backup my beloved PS1 games and wear out the copies.

2: Download a PS1 emulator for PC, as this eliminates the need for the disks altogether, right? (but how do I know whether the games I want are available?)

3: Wait till I buy a PS3 (it'll happen sooner or later) and then hope that the games I want will be for sale on the online store. Or will the PS3 play copied games? I doubt it though... :ouch:

In my opinion this is your best bet. The last thing you'll need your original disks for is to rip the ISO, and then load it up with the Emulator. By doing that you do indeed eliminate the need for the disk all together. That applies if you do have the original disk.
The only downside is the use of harddrive space, but if you've got more than you'll ever use that won't bother you.

It's obviously cheaper than chipping your PS2, and burning the games.

And there's also no way around having to chip the PS2, as the hard drive exploit will not run PS1 games, and never will.


To answer your second part, as long as you have the original disks you don't have to worry about finding games, and anything further than that violates the AUP of this forum discussing piracy etc.

PM's don't follow AUP restrictions though.
 
Um.. CDs and DVDs don't wear out from extended use. The only thing that damages them is mishandling them. As long as you take care of the discs, there's no reason why you can't play them any time you want with no worries. I have some of my old PS1 games, and they still work just as well now as they ever did.
