The PlayStation is a console created by Sony.

The system featured many games that made use of the latest 3D technology, but also contained its fair share of sprite-based titles.

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.
