PCSXR plays .BIN but not .ISO images - why?
I'm running pcsxr on Ubuntu Bionic (18.04) which works great. However, I notice that it will play .BIN images but not .ISO images. Pcsxr has the option to play games either from CD (File -> Run CD) or from an image file (File -> Run ISO).
Is the "Run ISO" option in pcsxr not suitable for ISO images but only for BIN images? What is the difference between the two?
Similarly, I have tried to burn an ISO image to a CD to play it on my wife's vintage PSX (the very first clunky model!) but this end in a black screen with no activity just like it does on the pcsxr emulator. Is the CD format used by the PSX actually an ISO9660 file system?
On a different note, is there still a support forum with recent and frequent activity somewhere? I haven't been able to find anything except years old forum archives.
All suggestions appreciated!

How do I turn a BIN file into an ISO?
Step 1: Visit https://cdburnerxp.se/en/home and download CDBurnerXP for converting BIN to ISO. Step 2: Select Burn ISO image and then click on Convert to ISO button. Step 3: Load your BIN file and set output path. Finally, click on Convert to ISO button to finish the conversion.Can ePSXe run ISO?
- they are not supported. I recommend trying to find your game(s) in ISO or BIN format. Or, you could try using ePSXe's competing emulator, pSX, because it supports all ISO formats.
