    All you have to do is to "Un-ECM" the game image.

    Scroll down until you fin PakkISO and download it. I don't remember if that one has a GUI, but if it does not, simply drag the ECM File onto the icon and it will run through the steps of decompressing the game. It should then be playable in your emulator.

    Download ECM Tools - Required if your file is of .ECM type and you need to convert to ISO/BIN/CUE. ECM is a special compression technique which allows better compression on CD images and thus saves on space as well as bandwidth!
    Download ECM tools and extract. Drag the ECM file onto unecm.exe (or go via the command line) then mount/burn the image using either the accompanying .ccd/.cue file.
