Sorry to bother everyone but i am having problems finding what i am looking for. I just finished downloading a game for the ps2 (capcom vs snk), which i already own and i am trying to back up my copy so that i can play it on my ps2. The file is very small so i was wondering if i had to burn it onto a cd or a dvd. There is 2 different files. (mdf and mds) I don't know what to do with them in order to keep all the files, can someone please help me out. Is there a program that i should get to make this easier? I have magic swap 3.6.
kindest regards,
Patrick

its probably a cd. Also, mdf and mds file are just images like bin and cue files. Just choose burn image in your burning program and select whichever 1 it lets you.

mdf and mds can only be burnt in ISO Write mode of DVD Decrypter so go ahead and download it if you dont have it and burn it. :)

Good Luck!

It's a CD-ROM based game according to this list: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/30641

Sly is right, you need to burn it to CD. Use Alcohol 120%.

14. Q. How do I burn PS2 CD-ROM based games?
A. Use Alcohol 120%.
Ripping the game to your Hard Drive:
1. Open Alcohol 120%.
2. Insert the disk you wish to create the image from in your CD-ROM drive. Click image making wizard.
3. Set the read speed to 1x, check ignore read errors, fast skip error blocks, leave the write method alone, select your recorder, set the write speed to 4x, and set the datatype to PS2.
4. Click next.

Burning the game to CD-R:
1. Once the image is created you'll have an mdf and an mds file. Click finish if necessary.
2. Right click the mdf file and go to image burning wizard. Set the write speed to 4x, leave the write method alone, set the data type to PS2, and select your recorder, click next.
