      Hello,

      First, thank you for RetroPie project!
      It's a pleasure to play retro games, especially those I played on my old PSX that has been broken for several years... But I have kept the original discs fortunately.

      I faced some issues to create working ROMs from my original PSX / PlayStation 1 discs following RetroPie documentation.

      So, I have created a bash script that greatly helps this process.

      I test it on Debian 11 but it should work on Debian 12 and Ubuntu too and on other Linux platforms.

      My GitLab repository: https://gitlab.com/sylmarch-public/retropie-psx-cdrom-ripper

      Current version is v1.1.0. It supports single-disc and multi-disc ripping.

      Usage for single-disc game:

      ./retropie-psx-cdrom-ripper.sh --name "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2"
      

      Usage for multi-disc game (hereby, 2 discs for Metal Gear Solid) :

      ./retropie-psx-cdrom-ripper.sh --name "Metal Gear Solid" --disc 2
      

      Output files are directly copied to RetroPie PSX ROMs folder (i.e. ${HOME}/RetroPie/roms/psx/). Output directory can be changed using --outputdir path option.

      Maybe could you reference it somewhere in the "ROMS" section on the PlayStation 1 page so that it can help other people?

      Sylvain

        Sure, send a PR to the Docs repo and we'll add it.
        Nice script - which CD unit are you using to dump the discs ? Have you verified that the dumps are correct and they match the redump.org site checksums ?
