what is a .bin.ecm?

Some isos for PS1 on this site extract into a ,bin and a .cue file. I prettymuch understand what these are and how to emulate them.

However, many of the japanese or hacked archives extract into a .cue and another .7z, which then extracts into a .bin.ecm. I can't figure out how to add these to OpenEmu. Anyone have any insight into this?

.ecm is a type of compression, try having a look at this guide http://www.epforums.org/showthread.p...03#post1187003

ECM is a old unneeded form of CD image compression.

You are better off getting a redump of the game and patching it yourself to save time and know you have a perfect dump of the game instead of someones random pre-patch.

CD images are normally in bin format and have a cue (descriptor file) so the bin or bins can be read correctly.

preciate it guys.
