Mounting mdf files

Post by Gekoncze » Sat Sep 24, 2011 10:28 am

Hi,
I don’t know how to mount mdf files in Linux.
I would like to play one game with epsxe (I have it legally. — I created image of it, so it won’t be damaged), but epsxe cannot read copy protected images of CDs (it can read only CDs from real or virtual cd-rom).
I tried acetoneiso, but it can mount only iso. On winows I used program called DAEMON Tools and everything worked great.
I run epsxe with wine. Is there any way how to mount mdf files with wine?

I already tried googling.
1)
$ mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/file.mdf /media/newfolder
// didn’t work:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog — try
dmesg | tail or so

2)
$ sudo mount file.mdf /media/newfolder -o loop=/dev/loop0
// didn’t work:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
// added: «-t iso9660» — did’t work

3)
Acetoneiso2 — isn’t in the repository, some dependences also aren’t in the repository -> it would be pain installing it (I have a bad experience with it)

4)
$ mdf2iso filename.mdf filename.iso
// didn’t work:
Unknown format for filename.mdf.

5)
Furius ISO Mount — didn’t work — shows blank folder
On this page, there is similar problem with the same error http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions . ng-671939/, but the solution(at the bottom of the page) isn’t available — page does not exist.

init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 0, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 1, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 2, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 3, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 4, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 5, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 6, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 7, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 8, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 9, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 10, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 11, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 12, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 13, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 14, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 15, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 16, skipping.. init: wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor 17, exiting..

sudo fuseiso filename.mdf /media/newfolder
// didn’t work — same error as above

I forgot to mention, that I am using Linux mint 9 (64-bit)

Монтирование iso, nrg, mdf, bin, img образов в Linux

-Эти команды смотрируют образ имя_образа в каталог /mnt/ (стандартный каталог для примонтированных устройств).
Для просмотра и работы с содержимом можно использовать команду:
cd /mnt && ls
Или зайти в коренная папка -> mnt через графический файловый менеджер. Также в качестве последнего аргумента команды mount можно указать свой путь для монтирования.

Монтируем nrg
Если у вас образ nrg, то рекомендую переконвертировать его в iso и смонтировать способом для iso, либо воспользоваться утилитой AcetoneISO.
Для переконвертирования в iso необходимо установить пакет (должен присутствовать в репозитории) nrg2iso .
После этого можно использовать эту утилиту в терминале:
nrg2iso имя_образа.nrg имя_переконвертированного_образа.iso

AcetoneISO — монтирование практически всех образов через графический интерфейс.
AcetoneISO предоставляет графический интерфейс для монтирования или создания образов.
Для получения программы установите пакет acetoneiso .
Программа проста в работе и не требует пояснений.
С ее помощью можно монтировать ISO BIN NRG MDF IMG.

Gmountiso
Также есть более легковесная утилита gmountiso которая позволяет монтировать iso образы через графический интерфейс.

P.S AcetoneISO на Qt; Gmountiso на GTK.

nrg2iso устарела и часто после нее вообще ничего не получается.
Есть более универсальная

nrg можно смонтировать или сконвертить в iso безо всяких утилит.

mount -t udf,iso9660 -o loop,ro,offset=307200 file.nrg /каталог/монтирования
dd if=[твой .nrg образ] of=[выходной .iso образ] skip=307200 bs=1

Автор: Белка, дата: 10 марта 2012 , время: 21:48:04 (MSK).
А вот интересно, автор поста понимает, что команда mount -o loop -t iso9660 имя_образа.iso /mnt/ работает только в отношении .iso, находящегося в домашней директории? Может, этих изошников у кого-то сто штук, и они собраны в отдельном месте, где-нить на внешнем устройстве, и копировать их оттуда в /home/username глупо, да и места свободного может не быть? Как из консоли смонтировать .iso в этом случае? Вот вопрос. А переписывать одну и ту же команду (уже в пяти местах читаю одно и то же) легче всего.

Белка, а что мешает использовать команду cd или указать абсолютный путь до iso?

Автор: SU, дата: 11 марта 2015 , время: 07:52:28 (MSK).
Sveolon, спасибо! Смонтировать или сконвертить в iso безо всяких утилит, действительно работает. Интересно для чего существуют тогда утилиты для конвертирования?

Автор: mi, дата: 03 июня 2017 , время: 17:55:15 (MSK).
Чему вы учите людей? Бездумному тупому запоминанию никому непонятных символов?

что значит «-о», что значит «-t» может как-то будете разъяснять что это, что бы люди ронимали что это и зачем?

Introduction

For an introductory explanation of ISO images, instructions for creating and also burning them see IsoImage.

Mounting ISO Files

For instructions on how to mount an ISO, see MountIso.

Manipulating Other Formats

There are many other formats of archives that have been created over the years for numerous reasons. To mount them, it is usually necessary to convert them to ISO and then use your preferred means. Unless otherwise specified, these programs are available in the Universe repository and can be installed by numerous means. For convenience apturl links have been made, click the package names and they will install as long as the protocol is supported. None of these programs are installed by default.

The following exclusively deals with the command line.

CloneCD/IMG Images

ccd2iso /path/to/example.img /path/to/example.iso

sudo mount -o loop /path/to/example.iso /media/example

CUE/BIN Images

bchunk /path/to/example.bin /path/to/example.cue /path/to/example.iso

MDF Images

mdf2iso /path/to/example.mdf /path/to/example.iso

sudo mount -o loop=/dev/loop0 /path/to/example.iso /media/example

NRG Images

nrg2iso /path/to/example.nrg /path/to/example.iso

sudo mount -o loop,offset=307200 /path/to/example.nrg /media/example

DMG Images

DMG (.dmg) images are primarily used by Apple, conversion of these files will allow data to be accessed. It will not allow the running of OSX programs on Linux without considerable effort not outlined in this guide. The following process will first convert to IMG and then to ISO, you may however stop at the first step if you wish and mount or burn.

Installation

For instructions on installation, see DMG2IMG.

To Convert to IMG

The following command will convert the example file from DMG to IMG.

dmg2img /path/to/example.dmg /path/to/example.img

Do NOT follow the instructions for mounting the file at the end of the conversion. It is not advisable to mount to the /mnt directory.

To Mount

As always a directory will be created in /media, the next step will ensure hfsplus support is available, lastly the IMG file mounted to the directory.

sudo mount -t hfsplus -o loop example.img /media/example

At this point, the image is available for browsing under the /media/example directory. These files can now be transferred to hard drive or elsewhere for storage. If you want an ISO file, continue to the next section.

Creating the ISO

The IMG file we now have is still an hfsplus archive, which cannot simply be converted into an ISO. As such, we will have to use an intermediary step to convert the data from its stored format to an ISO. Since we’ve already mounted it to a directory, the easiest way is simply to create a new ISO with any disc authoring program you are familiar with. Brasero, GnomeBaker and K3b are just a few options for this.

Simply open your software of choice and start a new data disc. Then add the files from the mounted archive to this new data disc project. Once satisfied, select Burn and instead of recording a CD or DVD, choose to make an ISO file.

For most users, Brasero will be available, for those inexperienced in it’s use the following is a guide.

If you’re using GNOME then you can run Brasero from Applications -> Sound & Video -> Brasero. Start a new data disc by selecting Data Project from the main Brasero window, or through the menu Project -> New Project. Ensure the side panel is enabled from View -> Enable Side Panel. From the side panel, navigate to the directory where the IMG was mounted, usually the name of the IMG will be listed in the Places pane. In our example, the location in Places would be called example located in the /media/example directory. Simply drag all the files and folders you want to the project.

Once ready, push Burn. and ensure you select to create Image File: at the new window so it creates an ISO. If you wish to change the default name or the location it is created, select Properties. Once satisfied, push Burn and the ISO will be created. Leave Increase compatibility with Windows systems checked unless you know better.

Disc Image Integration for Nautilus

Archive Mounter

By default in GNOME, Nautilus has support for mounting ISOs by simply right clicking on the file and selecting Open with Archive Mounter. This option still appears limited, mainly designed for archives and ISOs. This feature is still under development, thus the following guide will be preserved.
