![]() This tool is only available on Windows, but can be run via Wine on Mac too. To get around this limitation, you can combine the BIN files using an app called CDMage. If you have a multi-disc game that uses multiple BIN files, creating a PBP file can be a challenge since it only will load the first BIN file. See the video above to learn how to switch between discs while playing a game.When complete, you will have a folder in your output folder that is named after that game’s serial number, and inside will be a file named EBOOT.PBP - rename this file to your game (like “Final Fantasy VII.PBP”) and you are ready to go.Under “Output PBP folder” choose wherever you would like to save the file, and then press the “Convert” button near the bottom of the window.In the same section, choose “File 2” from the drop-down and press the button to the right again to choose your second disc’s game file.This works best with bin/cue or ISO files. In the ISO/PBP File section, choose “File 1” and then press the button to the right to choose your first disc’s game file.Open the PSX2PSP.exe file, and choose “Clasic Mode”.Go to this page and download PSX2PSP, then extract the zip file onto your computer.PBP conversion instructions (Windows only): Note that this conversion tool is only available on Windows, but it is possible for Mac users to run this application via Wine. So if you want to earn achievements for your PS1 games, you will need to stick with CHD files and use m3u playlists for multi-disc games. One downside for PBP files is that they are not compatible with RetroAchievements ( more info here). But for my own use case I haven’t ever ran into issues with PBP files and I prefer the single-file solution they bring. There is also some concern that game data is lost in this conversion process, and so if you want to maintain pristine files this may not be the format for you. ![]() It will also compress the game files to reduce file size, but bear in mind that this is a lossy compression, meaning that you cannot go back to a different file type after converting to PBP (for example, you can switch back and forth with CHD files). ![]() Many PS1 games came in multiple discs, and there is a special tool that will let you convert multi-disc PS1 games into one single PBP file.
