    Default PSX ISOs extracted with UnpakkISO not working in ePSXe

    I've had this problem previously with several ISOs that used .ecm and .ape compression. Usually I'd just go somewhere else to download a "normal" iso, but in this case I can't seem to find any.

    This time I've downloaded Lunatic Dawn Odyssey, which comes with one track in .ecm and the other in .ape. I've run the folder through unpakkISO, and it creates two .bin files out of them, but when I try to run the game in ePSXe, the emulator just hangs (the window is never refreshed).

    I tried both running the ISO directly from ePSXe or mounting it as a virtual CD in Demon Tools, and followed the compatibility instructions here: ks23364.kimsufi.com/psxdata/databasepsx/games/J/L/SLPS-02420.html, but nothing helps. As stated, I remember having this problem every time I try to use an ISO with .ecm and .ape files, so it seems to have something to do with unpakkiso not working properly for me (Windows 7 64-bit). Any suggestions what to do?

    Read my guide over at http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?57757

    Download the cue's & sbi's file from there first (You will also want ISObuster if you do not already have it)

    Then scroll down to the bit that says Cue Missing and read from there

    Thanks for your reply, but that archive doesn't contain any files for this game, and the ISO is not missing the .cue file to begin with, so I'm not sure how this can help...

    Sorry about the double post, but the Edit Post button currently doesn't seem to work in my browser. So it looks like I should skip ahead that step about the .cue and go right to the ISOBuster thing? I'll try that...

    Yup ePSXe can't handle multi bin+cue images so you just need to convert those to a single bin+cue image.
