How to Create PS1 Games

PlayStation 1 is one of the best-selling video game consoles in history. Released in December 1994 in Japan and September 1995 in the United States, the PS1 was one of the first three-dimensional gaming consoles on the market. Gamers create PS1 games for various reasons, such as backing up an old PS1 game to play in a PlayStation or creating a PS1 game to play in a PS1 emulator available online for free download.
