Thank you

    These are image files, which can be opened by mounting them with software such as Daemon Tools or Alcohol (it’s the same as .cue and .bin, or a .iso)

    If everything goes wrong, is it a twist of fate or a lack of determination???

    Sure, thank you for your quick response. I have both software, can you tell me which one is better (especially the easiest) and explain to me how to do it please? Or could someone explain to me how to open these two files please?
    Thank you.

    Do they need to be burned onto a CD to be readable? (like an ISO?)

    Hi,
    For me, the best is Daemon Tools
    Well, I have a version that might be a bit old (v3.44, I don't know if there have been others after that) but it works very well
    I right-click on the icon at the bottom right (the red or green lightning bolt) and I go to:
    -Virtual CD\DVD-ROM,
    -Device0: nomedia
    -mount image. Then I look for where I saved the game image.

    Actually, these 2 software programs do not work with Vista. I did it with my other PC running XP and it worked perfectly... and I copied the installation to the other PC running Vista... thank you for your responses.

    I would like to know if I need to burn both the MDS and MDF files onto the CD for it to work, because I converted the MDF file to ISO and burned my game CD. The PlayStation logo appears and then nothing happens!!! What should I do with the MDS file???? Thank you for your help, I'm struggling.

    ahh it would only work on a modded console (meaning intervention in the console by opening it, losing the warranty to install a chip that allows reading burned games...)
    otherwise it’s normal
