      Hey.

      This time I tried to boot from an original PS1 disk. I mounted a /dev/cdrom to /media/cdrom. Then I symbolic linked /media/cdrom to ~/RetroPie/roms/psx/original.iso.

      If I'm booting this virtual ISO the CDROM starts to spin. But then, after emulator lauchscreen, nothing happens. Black screen. CDROM spins down.

      Any chance to boot an original disk?

      P. S.: Nope. I don't want to create an ISO file. I want the real stuff :). And I want to find out how they managed (?) it: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/seedi-retro-gaming-system#/
