Okay. Here is my situation. I have the original Playstation disc but my cat decided to have some fun with it. It is now scratched beyond belief. I went to coolrom.com to download the image. Found it and extracted it....no problem so far.
Here is the issue. The files I extracted contain several bin files and a cue file. Since there is no way to mount a virtual drive in Android, I decided to use my Macpup Linux laptop and ran "cat TombRaider.bin.001 TombRaider.bin.002....etc.>image.bin" in the terminal. It merged all the files into one single file.
Success, right? Wrong....I can play the game, yes....without sound! Ugh! Please....any advice would be awesome, guys!

Well if theres any files with a 001 002 extension they're usually rar files in my experiance try extracting with winrar or something ps games should only be 1 bin 1cue file or CCD depending on what they were ripped with.

I'm none too sure about this and it's relatedness to Android itself nor the SK4G. (Nor do I condone piracy, which if you own an original copy is NOT piracy). However, .bin files are disc image files and are read by the emulator this .bin is usually the game. However, as said above if it's 001, 002 format, you may need to use WinRAR if not, HJSplit on Windows to extract/join the archives. After doing so, the outcome should either be a .bin file type or .cue file type.

Ah, the Jedi Master himself....thanks, TLS. I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes. Thanks to you too, azcledel. :good:
No such luck, guys. After some extensive research, I found out that because of the subchannel audio bins, it must be burned to a cd then played using espxe. I just figured that since I had Final Fantasy 7 working, that I could play this classic on my phone. Ah, well.

.7z files are a different format of ZIP files; you need 7-zip to open them. It's free.
any tool for opening a .rar file on wp7.5 ??
i am also looking for something like that.
Opening - for what? What would you like to do with rar content?
Presumably, the same think you'd do with the ability to open ZIP files on the phone, which it already has (I've never actually needed to do this, except for hacks, but it works).
The RAR format has some annoying restrictions around its use; some developers don't like it for that reason and are therefore less likely to develop for it. You'll probably need to get a C/C++ RAR library and then port it to the phone and access it through COM. Doing it all in managed code would be cleaner (and would let you put it on the Marketplace) but I don't know if there are any managed implementations to work from, so you might have to write the whole thing.
@sensboston
actually i wanna open the mail attachment whic come in .rar format..
GoodDayToDie, here is the managed code to work with rar archives: http://nunrar.codeplex.com/ (and project already has SL implementation so it can be easily ported to WP7 platform). Technically it's possible to create .rar extension handler (for full/policy unlocked devices) but I see no reason why this should be done...
vivek27, I still don't get why do you want to open rar attachments? What are you going to do with unrared files? You can't play 'em or install 'em or read 'em. Just unpack to the rar-handler isolated storage file? Why?

Step 1. www.google.com
Step 2. Type into the box shaped item in the middle of your screen the words "How to open a .img file on windows 7"
Step 3. Download the required software to allow you to open an ISO file...which is similart to a .zip.
Step 4. Fcking slap yourself.

I always find that insulting people I want help from works wonders in getting an answer. So you're on the right track.

You're right, it won't get you very far at all. Closed.
I don't get any ECM file. I know my emulator and BIOS work 'cause I've already played RE3 without any problem, though I can't remember how I got the ISO file from 7Zip. Now I downloaded MGS, and when I unzip the .7z I get everything in parts. These include an image file, .ccd, .cue and .sub for each of the disc of the game. What do from there?
PS: I extract the files using both Winrar and 7zip, no result
You should rip your own CDs, it's illegal to download PS1 games from the internet.
Call the FBI then.

There you go. But wrong section, post questions HERE in future
Cannot get GDI to CHD converter to work
I cannot get above converter to work. I unzip, open "Dreamcast GDI to CHD" app, point source folder to folder containing all .bin and .gdi files for a single game, specify CHD destination folder, click Convert, and then get a "Batch operations complete!" message. However, a CHD file is never created. Have tried on Windows 7 and 8. What am I doing wrong?

hmm you might need to launch as Admin...or maybe you removed short file name support from windows.
Maybe I'll sit down and update the script...if I don't already have an updated version laying around here...it's been a while since I wrote it.
** Update **
Yeah even I ran into issues with it.
I've updated the script massively...cleaned up the original...got it down to about half the lines of code...and working better...then threw that out the window and decided to have some fun...so went from around 100 lines to 600. (Original was about 200 lines) Anyways lots more features...that you probably don't want or need...and more prone to breakage.
hmm can't share the link to the update...oh well...I'll put it up else were and maybe you'll stumble upon it.
