    If you your PlayStation doesn't have a modchip you can also use the Memory Card manager in Unirom. Just get the FreePSXBoot version into a different memory card, boot to Unirom and the manager will show all saves, even the deleted ones, if they are still on the card. Then you can put the cursor over them and choose "undelete".

    If you don't want to chip your console just get a Memory Card exploit like Unirom+FreePSXBoot or TonyHax+FreePSXBoot, it's basically the modern day replacement for the swap trick. Easier, more reliable and removes some other types of piracy protection from various games.

    Most of the SDK has been tested and confirmed to be fully functional on real hardware, but there is some copy protection you will have to get around in order to run arbitrary software on a PS1. The traditional solution is to perform disc swapping or install a modchip, but nowadays we also have softmods [1] that make the process as easy as inserting a specially formatted memory card (which can be prepared using a PS2, or even a PS1 by swapping discs).

    You are not required to use CDs either. With the help of some code and linker script magic, you can build an image that can be booted directly from a cheat cartridge (or simply a parallel EEPROM) connected to the console's expansion bus, bypassing the copy protection checks entirely. There are also debugging tools that, once loaded, let you download an executable into RAM for quick testing and manage memory cards using a modified serial cable [2].
