How to Burn a PSX ISO File

Because of its age and relative obscurity today, it is almost impossible to find original Sony PlayStation games anywhere outside of the occasional used game store. Because of that, more and more gamers are turning to backing up their old PSX games onto computers in the form of ISO files. Other gamers download these ISO files from Websites so that they'll have a backup of their game should something go wrong. Burning a PSX ISO file to a CD--and it must be a CD, as PSX games were around before DVD technology was introduced--is simple.
