ello everyone.. i hope this is the right forum to ask this question.

feel free to call me a noob or whatever creative name you can find, i take no offence Smile

when i get something from the group procyon the NFO file say

"Unpack .mdf and .mds file from /Mds folder"

well every time i unpack something, ,i only get the *.MFD file never the MDS
how come ??

i have tested this with other release from procyon and i get the same problem ??

soo am i the only one that cant find that mds file ??

regards
canadus

PS this is not a request or anything,,

Most of those releases have had the MDS file located in a separate folder (I wonder why they do it like that.) so some sites or ftp's or channels might have missed that folder and only offer the standard NFO and zipped files.

Ofcourse one could still mount the other file directly via Daemon Tools or similar and use it to install the game however a separate NoCD fix (crack) would still be needed afterwards. Smile

try getting the mds files from public sites if you are not gonna get the cracked releases.
Don't know if you can install the games with just .mdf files...I think you should though,give it a try.

Probably because the mds file was in a separate archive just like Timeshift clone so someone did not think to share it. Mount mdf file only until you find the mds.
