Wouldn't these not work on an unmodified PlayStation without an exploit? The system has copy protection that's specifically meant to prevent bootlegs from running. Did they figure something out to bypass that like on the Dreamcast that I don't know about?

The last time I looked into it. The copy protection was fairly trivial to circumvent on the PS1.

So I'd imagine they probably work fine. But I haven't tried these bootlegs myself so I can't say for certain.

Yeah, One of my I was smarter when I was younger moments was creating a boot swap by fixing the lid button down and using a cheat CD that came with a magazine
