Can't get this thing to work

[frozenspark]

I'm trying to play a game which is an mdf file. How do I open that? In the newest release there is only an option for an ELF file and directly from cd rom. What to do?

[Air]

Directly from CDRom is misleading. It refers to the emulator's "perspective" in which it's booting a PS2 CD. If the CDVD plugin is actually reading an ISO/MDF, the emulator doesn't know the difference. Translation: Use Linuzappz's ISO plugin as your CDVD plugin. With it you can select iso's, bins, mdfs, etc.

awesome, thanks a lot!




EDIT: I did as you said but whenever I choose my mdf file PCSX2 crashes and windows tells me something is wrong with DEP (data execution prevention). When I go to turn it off for PCSX2 it says that I canot disable it and PCSX2 must run with it enabled.

right click on pcsx2.exe->run as administrator

I'm having a similar problem.
I was told that some of the problems in my games were fixed in Beta.r1888. The thing is that this version of the emulator wont read any of my MDF files. I can't even get it to read the disk itself. When i tell it to read cd/dvd it crashes, when i tell it to read an iso and direct it to a MDF file it says "Error Opening CDVD Plugin". It will do just fine with a regular ISO file. I looked for "Linuzappz's ISO plugin" as Air said, but all I got then was "Oh noes! Something went wrong here..." and some music. A broken link?
So could someone Link me to the plugin that will let the beta.r1888 read MDF files? Also would i just drop the plugin in to the "plugins" folder? Or must i do something special?

Get the 0.9.6 binary pack, go into plugins and copy the linuziso.dll from there to your beta plugins folder. That will do it

I got the binary pack and checked the plugins folder. There are a bunch of .dll there but no linuziso.dll in it.

[Bositman]

My bad, it's called CDVDiso.dll

[Onion]

Got it, but it still tells me "Error Opining CDVD Plugin" when I tell it to run an ISO image or run CD/DVD from a virtual drive.

Unmount the ISO from the virtual drive and run it only with Linuz ISO cdvd plugin.
