For most games I use the CDs but for the troublesome ones (CC) I use ISOs. I don't have much space on my HD for them though so I try to stick to CDs if I can.

cdrwin's the name iso's my game

I`m never play my games from CD, if I want to play a game I just create the ISO and after finish with the games, I delete that ISO. I use blindwrite to create most of my ISO. Clonecd is my second choice program to create ISO.

im using fantom cd for my iso,its the most compatible iso maker......for me.

jaylove · May 4th, 2002

I mostly use the isos, its speed up alot and give u more frames per second.
Mostly because there is just a few sounds problems.

Use CloneCD, you'll have more luck
I mostly use ISO's

I used a frontend to use iso's but instead of .iso files it gives me .bin files well that still works.

cdrwin seperates the iso in two files right? that's why i don't use it anymore.

me use CD.
coz ISO kill my HDD much space

Badaro · May 4th, 2002

I have plenty of disk space, so I always use ISOs. My tool of choice for creating them is Blindwrite (http://www.blindwrite.com).

CDRwin makes to files alright. An bin and cue. You can just delete the cue as you only use it when to burn the iso onto an cd. It tells the program where the bin is.

ISO's are mostly better for speed and convenience reasons, but CD-Audio won't play, cause that normally gets sent straight from the CD-ROM drive to the sound card via the analogue cable - of course you can play CD Audio digitally in windows, but ePSXe seems unable to do this. Shame....

**Kane** · May 4th, 2002

Daemon tools seems to work it out...

**Kirby** · May 4th, 2002

ISO if you have the space, CD if you don't

**Betamax** · May 4th, 2002

Depends on the situation. Any game that I'm concentrating on I usually have an iso file. However for quick fixes I prefer to bung in the cd. I use isobuster or the batard.
