.mdf, .mds Help Please

07-21-2006, 12:29 AM

I am not sure if this is the right place to put this question, if it is the wrong forum, sorry.

My current programs do not work with .mdf and .mds, could you please tell me what program(s) do? and which ones are relatively user-friendly.

Thank you for your time and effort on my question.

Alcohol 120% will burn that image format as will Clone CD. Daemon Tools will mount that image format as a virtual drive. In my experience the burning process with Alcohol 120% is fairly straight forward and my experience with Daemon Tools and mounting images has been positive as well. Please also check out Running games downloaded from DaTorrents. it is a short tutorial for several programs and contains the necessary links to get those programs.

hope this helps

A-120% will also mount the image as well, And in my experience, I had better results mounting images with A-120%

The reason most people recommend Alcohol only for burning and not mounting is because it doesn't emulate copy protection. Daemon tools can't burn, but emulates copy protection.

Hmmm...newer builds of Alcohol 120% have a lot of emulation option when mounting the image. You can set it via options.

Newer builds of alcohol has better ways of eluding copy protection then the old ones that alcohol are using mostly... But this is really besides the point...

Yeah, the D-Tools will be the most recommended mounting tool rather than the A-120% coz DTool will use minimal memory usage.
