Ripping games...

[LordOfTheShroom]

I apologize in advance for my ignorance in this matter.

I have several PSX games but no system (brother took it when he moved out). I've recently gotten the epsxe emulator though.

What I need to know is how to rip ISOs. What program should I use to do it?

Also, for any using the epsxe emulator, I noticed it has an option to read a game from the CDROM. Am I correct in assuming I could just put one of my PSX games in and load it up? And if so, does using that method work better than reading from an ISO, or vice versa?
