    Did you use File > Run ISO > then choose the .bin file?

    Or did you try File > Run CDROM?

    Should be Run ISO to load directly into ePSXe.

    CDR Mooby v2.8 works the same as a virtual drive; it emulates a real CD drive so you can play ISO files as if they were real CD's.

    If you load the game into Mooby's, then you should use instead File > Run CDROM to play the game.

    So, to recap:

    Use RUN ISO to load the game directly into ePSXe.

    Use RUN CDROM to load a game that's a CD in your computer's CD drive, or if it's mounted to a virtual CD drive.

    I'm having the same problem, with the same game, and you don't seem to understand what's happening.

    The files are "PERSONA2IS.mdf.001", "PERSONA2IS.mdf.002", "PERSONA2IS.mdf.003", "PERSONA2IS.mdf.004", "PERSONA2IS.mdf.005", "PERSONA2IS.mdf.006", "PERSONA2IS.mdf.007". Notice the .00x extension on the end. I highly doubt the game was packaged as 7 disks with 50 MB worth of data on each, so there has to be a way to combine them into a single file.

    Unless I just missed a post, but I don't see anywhere instructions to do this.

    Install WinRar, then right click on the 001 file and extract. The other files will be automatically included, so you only have to extract once.

    Yeah, those should definitely be .rar's, and not mdf's

    Try combining them with HJSplit:

    Then try playing the combined file.

    Btw, did you also get the .mds file that should have come with the .mdf file?
