How can i run this files. I only use ePSXe and they require me to run only .bin or .iso files! My Xenogears is on .mds and .ecm only. How can I run them? Thx!

I don't know what version ePSXe you are using, but ePSXe 1.7.0 supports mds files and more.

I'm not sure, but isn't ECM a special compression technique that have to be un-compressed with a certain program. Try googling it.

Use UltraISO to Save the .mdf/.mds as .bin/.cue or .iso and use pSX emulator

Also check out my sig, you'll find a Miscellanous emulator called ePSXe, hopefully with all the parts pieced together. It can run .mdf/.mds

Well I haven't download UltraISO, but I've use another emulator that supports MDS / MDF. is there an updated version of ePSXe that supports these formats? the new emu that i download has a limited options in graphics unlike ePSXe that has many plug-ins...

As long as it runs that one game as good or almost as good as ePSXe, you're fine. But again, you could try UltraISO to convert them to that format, takes less than 10 minutes. Sure w/e have fun. Don't know of any emulators that support .mds/.mdf, I only use the pSX emulator.

ePSXe 1.7.0 runs .mds / .mdf just fine.
