a litte help with MDF to ISO please?

[Andrea Sanada]

hello im a new member on the site but ive been emulating for years now. im having some trouble with a few tittles that come out to a .MDF file instead of a .bin,img ect. i did get a tool to convert from MDF to ISO but sadly the files still done run in my EpsxE 1.9.0 (dont run as in always black screen no sound ect.) perhaps maybe i got a junk tool cause i did find it via google (google is not always your friend) the tittles in question are Xenogears (both disks) and ODT (or die trying) those are the only 2 ive been wanting that i have encountered thus far that come out as MDF (im sure there are more) i just need some help getting them properly converted. thanks in advanced

IIRC epsxe should run mdf files. Have you tried simply loading them before trying to convert??? You may have to select file type as *.* (all) and select the file that way. Been a long time but as I said it should run them.

[Andrea Sanada]

yes i have tried that and for some reason it refuses to run the MDF files. i have re downloaded the epsxe 1.9.0 about a million times to no avail

[Zaladane]

Did it come with an mds file as well?? You could try running from that. Think it's the equivalent of a cue file for a .bin. Sorry, like I said it's been a long time. May have to wait for Zorlon or someone else possibly to respond.

i'll try that but i'll have to re-download xenogears for it. fingers crossed and we'll see what happens. thanks

No fuss there, Bin/Cues , perfecto dumps.

Anything else I may be able to help, nothing epsxe though, I only use Mednafen PSX in Retroarch for PSX emulation.

For future reference just use ISObuster to convert

The reason that most other converting software will not work for PSX disc images is due to the XA header used by PSX Movie and Sound files, most common are *.xa files and *.str files and container files holding multi XA's or STR's sometimes xa and str files don't use the correct file ext but the format of them is the same, a bit like renaming a txt file to have another file ext the format does not change just because of the file name

Most disc image converting software does not support the special header but isobuster does, the header is part of the files though but is linked to the xa/str files and containers after the disc layout is created and most converting software can't re-create that

[Andrea Sanada]

awesome! hanks so much.

all i need now is to find that and i'll be golden
