Help with backing up PS1 games

[mavrick5]

My daughter has a PS1 without a mod chip. (I am about to have it fitted).

I want to back up her games so they don't get trashed by her or her younger brother (8yo and 3yo).

I have a Sony burner and CloneCD 4.x.x.x and Nero 5.x.x.x as well (or I did have until my hard disk was accidently reformatted this morning - not happy).

Speaking to a friend, he suggested I need some front end software for CloneCD which will preset all the required settings to allow for the games to be copied correctly.

Is this correct or can I just use CloneCD by itself. I looked at the tutorials but it had no information for v4 of CloneCD.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have downloaded the CloneCD database. Is this required? I have looked through both GameCopyWorld and MegaGames but the information seems to be conflicting.


Thx in advance
