Goto www.megagames.com or www.playstationmods.com www.psxcopyworld.com and read the very competent tutorials.

Also search this forum on the word "copy" and you'll not only get the above advice given to countless others, but also some of the gotchas associated with copying.

To give you encouragement, the main ingredients you'll need are:

1 A Modchip or something that allows backups to be used
2 A copy program (CDR-WIN or CLONECD are advised)
3 A writer compatible with the coy program (most important)
4 Access to www.megagames.com to download patch programs and patches
