Help burning PSX games

[audioincubus]

Yep, I'm a noob. I downloaded Legend of Dragoon for PSX, all 4 .iso files work fine. I downloaded Dino Crisis and Tomba!, but don't know how to use these since they are different than the LoD files. I even tried to burn them on a CD and pop it in (as CD, not data). It seemed like it wanted to play it, but never got past the sony playstation black logo screen. Please help.

If you're not sure where to put your thread, you could at least give it a descriptive title, so that the staff can move it where it needs to go. Also, you might want to tell us what kind of files they are, since the only thing you've told us is which type they are not. I would guess your files are .bin and .cue files, but I could easily be mistaken, and therefore give you information that is inappropriate for your situation.

Being "a noob" is no excuse for failing to familiarize yourself with the forum, especially when an announcement (visible at the top of every single subforum you visit) was just posted by the staff about this sort of thing. We are forgiving of mistakes, but we prefer to see evidence that at least some form of effort was put into the threads, requests, etc. posted by our members.

Okay, thanks. The 3 files I got from the Tomba! download here were .img, .ccd, and .sub

How did you burn the games?

- What burning software
- What brand CD-R
- How is your PS1/PS2 modded? Modchip? Swap trick? Other?
- What write speed did you use?

etc.

EDIT: Changed the title and moved to the correct forum...

I'm guessing from the "even" here that he's trying to run them on an emulator, and just decided to try and burn a physical copy because mounting them wasn't working. Otherwise I would have asked for all that, too.

If I'm not mistaken, the .ccd file is what you mount using Daemon Tools and the like. I don't have a PSX emulator on this computer to fool about with, though.

[audioincubus]

Yeah, I'm using PSX emulator on my PC. I just used a normal burning program, nothing special. I hadn't realized there were numerous file types. The LoD files are all .iso and play from my folder, but these Tomba/Dino Crisis files don't do anything. Both games are .img, .ccd. and .sub. I'll try the deamon tool thing, but I'm not a fan of playing with my computer in such a way. And thanks for moving the post for me and changing the description.

[Milady]

In what way will you be "playing with your computer?" You start the program, mount the image, run the "disc." When you're finished, you can stop the program. There are no permanent effects.

I know at least one of the PSX emulators gives the option to mount the image for you, but you haven't told us which you're using, so...

[audioincubus]

It's PSX from emulator zone. V 1_13

Doesn't it support .img files? I'm pretty sure I've played ccd/img/sub images on pSX without using Daemon Tools.

Are you sure you don't have .img.ecm?

[audioincubus]

No, I tried to play these. I've put them in the cdimages folder, save folder, bios folder, utils folder. It always denies the file when trying to load the cdimage. And its just .img

Tomba is a single track image, so you'll have no ill effects if you simply change the extension of the .img file to .iso. Dino Crisis is 2 tracks, but IIRC the second track is a warning telling you not to put the disc in your CD player If that's the case you can get away with changing the extension there too

[audioincubus]

changing .img to .iso didn't do anything. In fact, when choosing load cdimage, it still doesn't show up. The other tomba file types .ccd and .sub do, and the LoD.iso (s) do ,but not the tomba regardless if its in .img or .iso format.

Can't you tell it to look for all file types?

[audioincubus]

I originally tried epsxe, but came up with the error that "burutter.dll" is missing from my computer when its sitting right next to the bios....
