    The issue here is not in the burning but the extracting, the game is compressed so must be extracted, if you don't already have the software to do this I recomend 7-zip for this again another free software

    www.7-zip.org

    The next thing is to unecm the file

    The page you get the game from also has a link to ecmtools that includes unecm

    ust drag the ecm file over unecm and it will output a bin file (included should be a cue file (if not though let me know))

    The cue file is what you burn the CD image with

    (P.S. this version of Final Fantasy is copy protected so you do require a patch for it or you can get the NTSC version if your TV/Video cable can handle NTSC output, normally an RGB scart can fix that (Not to be confused with a scart converter))
    okay... i used the pakkISO and unecm the file it gives out the .bin file only, there is no cue file should i burn the .bin file? or what?

    so i just burn the .bin file using imgburn and the operation successful but when i put the cd in disc tray and open.. nothing is inside is this normal??
