The most curated, hand-tested, English-friendly set of multi disc games for the Sony PlayStation game console
PLEASE NOTE: I am currently in the process of going back and updating my old game sets with newly discovered games, prototypes, and English translations. They will be better organized, and a Language Pack will be available for all systems. Follow my socials or join the Discord channel to watch for updates as I complete them Fall of 2022!
Sony was first working with Nintendo to create a CD add-on for the SNES. It's a long story, but Nintendo eventually scrapped the idea and Sony developed the PlayStation instead. Wise choice!
This gorgeous little light gray box was at the forefront of pushing 3D gaming to its limit during this era, and stood the test of time against all of its competitors worldwide for years, regardless if the other machines were more powerful... and did so until Sony followed it with the mighty, mighty PlayStation 2.
The entire PlayStation collection I've gathered together is massive and in 4 parts. This archive is part 4 of 4 and only contains titles that had more than one disc and had a need to swap between them.
-------------
Special items included:
Unreleased prototypes, games not in English (but only if they were easy enough to play without being fluent in another language), English-patched translations, plus these extras: "Southern All Stars: Space Museum of Southern Art" and the "Cinema Eikaiwa Series." These extras aren't "games" in the typical sense - They are multimedia programs that I believe are important to preserve. If you're only after the actual games in this set, feel free to delete those titles named above.
Items removed:
Non-working dumps, duplicates, versions not in English when English was available, Japanese and European versions of titles when a North American version was available, hacks, homebrew games, and titles not in English that require proficiency in another language to play - Those can be found in my "Sony PlayStation Language Pack" here: archive.org/details/language-pack-sony-playstation-champion-collection.
Release notes:
This is a complete re-work of my previous Sony PlayStation set, which I did a couple years back. It was a bit messy and lots of new rips have been found out in the wild since then. I've hand-tested these new additions, added 407 more titles overall, upgraded several others to newer revisions, and organized the files much, much cleaner than last time - They can even be placed all together in one folder and nothing will get mixed up! There are some rhythm games that have append discs found here in the multi-disc collection that also have the key (or first) disc included (just to be thorough), but you're welcome to overwrite any of the key discs found in the single disc sets with the ones included here or vice versa - The .cue files are set up to work just the same for both versions of the game regardless.
However, I strongly suggest storing this multi disc collection separately instead, for ease of use. You'll want to import the m3u (playlist) files into your emulator rather than the individual .cue files for these, or they will not load / swap discs properly. Keeping them separate will make it much easier to import them in two different batches - the multi disc set (via .m3u) and single disc set (via .cue).
You may notice a game here that looks like a duplicate from the single disc set: "Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere" - This double disc game is the full, English translated version from Japan. When they made the North American release, they cut a ton of content and cutscenes from it in a rush to get it out, which resulted in a compacted, single disc game. This is the full experience instead!
Looking for those single PlayStation discs? They can be found in parts 1-3 of the "Sony PlayStation Champion Collection" here: Single Discs 0-G / Single Discs H-P / Single Discs Q-Z

Archive.org's torrent feature wasn't designed with large collections like this in mind, so if you're wanting to help preserve this set, you can use the links below to download each chunk individually. That will make sure you get everything saved without trouble! Also, I highly recommend using a download manager such as JDownloader2 or Free Download Manager to make sure you get the most quick and reliable connections possible. Each chunk is an average size of 8.44 GB:
