Sony PlayStation (PS1) MODE Mod Info

Recently bought a custom PS1 (from stoneagegamer.com) with many mods like a terraonion mode ode, shiny mini hdmi etc etc.
Just adding some notes and will occasionally add update.

In-Game Reset Kit for PlayStation – PyroESP
The button combination for the controllers is:
L2 + R2 + SELECT + START, for a short reset pulse ( Restart to Game)
L2 + R2 + SELECT + CROSS (X button), for a long reset pulse (Reset to MODE, Xstation Menu)
The lightgun combination is:
A + B + TRIGGER, for a long reset pulse

Small update:  I’m working on building a game collection on a hard drive to get that out the way so that I don’t have to keep opening up the console to install or change things around.

After that I will install a SD card mount kit and update from the card without opening up the console.

Will update soon.

Sega Saturn conversion file formats

This is just a quick note for myself for 2025 about converting bin/cue to a usable file format for Saturn Phoebe sd loading.

CDI doesn’t seem to convert easy from bin except with the outdated discjuggler.

I have tried to use Magiciso but it sucks.

UltraISO seems to work fine if you convert .cue to .CCD (with .img and .sub).
Files tested and works with Yaba sanshiro.
Will test with Saturn Phoebe and Rhea ODEs.
Go to Tools, Convert… choose .cue file and output directory:
CloneCD (IMG/CCD/SUB)

For multiple .bin files: Keep the .cue file under the same name as the first .bin file or primary game .bin file.

Update:
I can’t get UltraISO to accept or convert multiple .BIN files so I used binmerge with binmerge-gui to merge the .BIN files to one .BIN and new .CUE.
Convert in UltraISO to CCD and it works in beetleSaturn emu.
Will test in real Saturn soon.
