 ==Ripping Tools==
 The PlayStation uses CD-based technology, meaning that all of the data found within a game can be read using a standard ISO viewer, or by inserting the disk into your computer and browsing it. As such, the console has a vast number of different formats that are used that require their own dedicated tools to view. Some common formats can be seen below.
 ===PSX-vram===
 ''For more details on this program, please visit the [[PSX-vram]] page.''
-The most used program for ripping PSX sprites, it will read save states from emulators and display it's contents.

-Probably the most well-known PSX emulator as it has been around for a long time and also has an Android version. It has good compatibility and performance with most games, even though it does include hacks for specific games such as Valkyrie Profile. However like some PSX emulators, it will not play the music from multitrack games (such as Pac Man World or Real Bout Special Dominated Mind) or certain kind of ISO/BIN+CUE dumps.

+It is mostly identical to ePSXe, but it might be a better option for beginners, since it is not plugin based and thus easier to configure.  It also plays like an original Playstation, complete with Sony introductory animation, as well as the Playstation logo if an ISO image is uploaded before the Sony animation is finish, and boots you to the system's menu, if nothing is loaded before the Sony animation is finished, where you can access Memory Cards and a CD Player.  It can also access the ROM's v-ram by pressing F11 during gameplay.
