What to do when you cant make a PSX game into a ISO?

ffchrono_nut · June 8th, 2004

Yeah hi all, just wondering, i got Alcohol 120%, i have already done GT1 and FFIX onto the comp, and now i found a game that wont go into a .iso but a .mds! And ePSXe doesnt support that type of image. Is there one program that will guarantee that this game(Shane Warne Cricket '99 PAL) will go into .iso and so i can continue playing it?

Hmm.... I have Brian lara cricket 99 PAL which is exactly similar to Shane warne cricket 99 PAL. I made the image file using "clone cd" and it works fine.

did you save it as a .iso or a .ccd? well since i first posted this, i got WinISO, and i tried converting a .mds file to .iso and that didnt work, and then tried dumping off the disk and then when it was about 45% in the game it said it couldnt read from source. Any thoughts on that?

Hm, well, mount the MDS as CD using either the virtual drive of Alcohol 120 or Daemon Tools.
Then you can use the virtual drive in epsxe.
Alternatively, you can try to dump the virtual cd as an ISO.

You can just create an image in Alcohol 120% as a Clone CD image (.ccd). It will create this files:

game.ccd
game.img
game.sub

game.img can be readed without problems like and ISO image by the emulator. I have created many images with this proccedure and I dont have any problem reading them.

Remember that ePSXe not only reads .iso images!

you should just pick the option to do CloneCD images like silmano said.

or just use CloneCD
