You might try ISOproducer (http://www.aldostools.com/isoproducer.html), it's easy and free. You need Pete's / Peops CDr Plugin (http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/psx/psxplugins-tools.html) in your ePSXe (http://www.epsxe.com/) (the best PSX emu) plugins folder.

Other options are CdrWin, CloneCD, Nero or Alcohol120%, but are commercial applications.

does it matter what kind of read mode i use?

EDIT-meh i picked a drive and set some randy read mode now it wont even open, says its encountered a problem..ect.

You need to install Adaptec ASPI Layer (http://download.adaptec.com/software_pc/aspi/aspi_v472a2.exe) (or ForceASPI (http://members.fortunecity.com/forceaspi18/) the better), or select IOCTRL in Peops/Pete Plugin in win 2k/XP only before do anything.

Pete's/Peops plugin can auto detect the read mode when you have a PSX disc inserted in your CD/DVD-ROM Drive (select your drive first).

Hope it helps this time :)

the isos can be read without the use of deamon just like hagbard said. (maby one of these imaging threads should be stickied...ive seen several in the last couple of weeks)

Already post (http://forums.emulator-zone.com/showpost.php?p=28294&postcount=2). Thanks anyway :)

The best imho it's mount the image via Daemon Tools (www.daemon-tools.cc), so you don't need to care about the compatibilty of the used format ;)
