I downloaded Resident Evil 3 in mds/mdf and I don't know what to do with it. I tried using ultraiso to make it a iso but it still doesn't read.
thanks for your help

I'm talking about isos because I need to get one working ON the emulator. I'm not sure what format or how to make the mds/mdf work on the emulator.

There are no resident evil games for Genesis.

Do you mean you want help converting a resident evil 3 (ps1) iso in mds/mdf format with popstation to play on a PSP with custom firmware?

I don't know anything about popstation nor programs to convert between iso formats, but daemon tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/announcements.php) (free) will allow you to either mount the image in a virtual drive or burn it for you to re-rip as .iso. It might even have an option to save the mds/mdf in ISO format directly, I dont have it installed currently as a game was having a cry about it being there.

I think DVDDecrypter burns that format also.

NickIsCool888 ,is forbbiden discuss about PSP ISO loading, ripping and downloading in this forum .
Read the rules in this link .

Anyway... mds/mdf is propietary format and most of ISO programs will not support this format... you can simplily emulate it with Alcohol 120% and use some tool like IsoBuster (itīs free) to convert any image to .iso.

Well, if you want to run a Dreamcast game on your PSP then yes, you're sweet out of luck.

N64 emulation is pushing the PSP to its limits (StrmnNrmn is a bloody genius), I think the Dreamcast has 32 meg ram like the PSP so there just isnt room for the emulator overhead not to mention cpu/gpu speed.

Where did you get the idea you could run Dreamcast games on a PSP?

Here's the Dreamcast specs:

If they're right then we'd have enough RAM for the overhead, but emulating a 128-bit 200Mhz CPU on a 32-bit 333-Mhz CPU is pretty much impossible. Even at the same CPU architecture it would be nearly impossible, when you throw in a different architecture you simply don't have the CPU cycles available. Not to mention emulating the GPU and sound systems.

Just wanted to explain it so you know that a Dreamcast emulator on the PSP will never be playable if it even happens at all. I would say to get RE on PS1 and use the PS1 EMU Sony built for us ;)
