Learn from Sony's examples. They have many of these examples on executing other PS-EXE's off of the CD-ROM (or from RAM). We can't keep answering all your simple questions. You need to be able to learn yourself

If you're completely stuck and frustrated, I'll make an example for you anyway.
The lesson I have learnt over the years is to never take the easy way out

I have a function called System_LoadExecutable in my psx dev library, here it is:
ResetGraph(0);
StopCallback();
_96_init();
LoadExec("cdrom:\\YOURFILE.EXE;1", 0x801ffff0, 0);

I love to find tricks here

RE !
I need some informations about System_LoadExecutable ORION. Because I tried to run an Exec by pressing "X", but all that I have is a black screen in ePSXe.
Can you help me out ?

Might help if you post code, but I would look at what the exe needs in RAM and where and obliviously where you're loading the exe.

You have the full code and exec (the HI.EXE is the HELLO WORLD Tutorial)

pong.zip

The "HI.EXE" is in the same folder. I tried just "System_LoadExecutable("HI.EXE");" and "System_LoadExecutable("C:\psyq\projects\pong\HI.EXE");", but I always have a black screen.

[gwald]

your call to the exe is wrong, it's should be like orion's

"cdrom:\\HI.EXE;1"

I assume your making an iso and HI.EXE is in root.

do you realise that your Playstation will never have access to your computer's harddrive ?
how can the playstation could be aware of this path "C:\psyq\projects\pong\" ???
the emulator won't magically translate this, the emulator emulate a real playstation, and a real playstation only access files from the CDROM, so you need to make an ISO file with all the file on it, the ISO must be playstation compatible/signed of course ...

PS1 can read data from PS-EXE file or CD-ROM.
Hmmm... It is possible to hide PS-EXE within another PS-EXE? xddd

Fixed

What's the point ? The only purpose of loading another PS-EXE is because you don't have enough memory to implement features in the main PS-EXE currently running.

Thanks for helping. So you say that I need to make an iso of my EXE. Do I need to burn it on a real CD ?

[NITROYUASH]

What's the point ?

idk, just curious. Maybe someone will try to hide EXE in this way?

Do I need to burn it on a real CD ?

nope
