For those who legally dump their own PS1 collections, creating a PBP archive is a straightforward process. The most common tools used are PSX2PSP or PopStation GUI.
The general process is:
Fix: Some converted PBP files use a different save memory card format. Use a tool like MemcardRex to convert your .mcr saves to .mcd or vice versa.
A single PBP file can contain all discs of a multi-disc game. In emulators like DuckStation or RetroArch (PCSX-ReARMed), switching discs becomes automatic or menu-driven—no more ejecting images or managing four separate .cue files.
