rip psx games

ok i just broke my ff8 disc 1 :(
i want to rip all my original games so it doesnt happen again
whats the best free program to do this?
and is there a tutorial for it?

I think I remember someone use Alcohol 120%, or maybe Daemon Tools can be used for it.

ive tried alcohol and imgburn and poweriso but ff8 and ff9 will not play on an emulator

I'm sure Alcohol 120% has an option for PS1 games (Remember, you're not ripping it to ISO) it must be your disc or you didn't do it right.

i set it to playstation so it should have worked.
googling tells me it may need a patch because its protected and PAL?epsxe wont work on windows 7 because it needs aspi which isnt compatible so im stuck with psx1.13
for some reason epsxe just crashes on my xp partition, 1.5.2, 1.6 and 1.7 :(

My ePSXe 1.7.0 works fine on my Windows 7 though.
Maybe the emulator doesn't have the right configuration ?

ImgBurn works just fine with making ISOs for PSX and PS2.Just download/install it and run Make Img From Disc option.http://imgburn.com/index.php?act=download

it says: the program cant start because WNASPI32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem

This error comes out whenever I try to configure my ePSXe, but the program still works and I can still configure my Plugins.

i got it to work but it just closes when i try to pick the iso

So you're saying that when you choose File -> Run ISO, the program close.Might be some setting error, have you tried looking the ePSXe tutorial ?

Oh, I forgot about that.
Yeah, PAL games have protection on them.
