But isn’t the whole point to play a burned copy of the game?
This seems like scalping concert tickets to a concert that allows you to copy tickets in the printer.
No, the point is to use a legit copy of this game to run burned copies of other games.

Oh yeah, this is a bubble, but fwiw, there should be minimal compatibility issues possible from my understanding as this is essentially the change disk mechanism we see in several games, but without the check that the correct disk has been inserted. Of course there’ll be edge cases (and I’m gonna imagine there might be some late stage additional copy protection in some games that doesn’t rely on the boot up checks), but on hardware as simple as the playstation it’s going to be pretty much: if you’re running the executable, you’re running the game as if it’s passed the checks
No, the legit copy of the game allows you to play pirated copies of other games. It bypasses the piracy check in the console and allows you to swap discs to a pirated copy of whatever other game you want.
Loads emulator and laughs.
While I agree, there are entire communities built around retro consoles. But that also means legit copies of retro games can be difficult to come by.
Sure, but at these prices, it’s less expensive to get a modded PS1.
