Hi there,

I'm trying to extract the data from track 3 bin of a game and I keep getting the following error:
"Unable to open image: No valid file-system found"

Anyone know how I might be able to extract the data from this?

Thanks!

Try these tools



I work on proto types and other things for collectors it's all i use..

thanks for posting this, Ian. reading through the comments on your video helped me with an error i've been running into with a few games ("[Errno 22] invalid mode ('rb') or filename") - it looks like the issue was that i needed to track down different dumps.

the games that work with these batch tools use this specific format, which is apparently called "General GDI": for the games that had a .gdi file but not in that specific format, i was able to convert them with "GDI-Utils" by SONIC3D. they did successfully rip with "Extract GDI Image.bat" at this point (though i still couldn't open this version in GDRom Explorer).

for the games that have a .cue but no .gdi, i'm not sure what to do with them yet

I have to use 2 different gd rom explorer versions when extracting gdi game data.
v1.50 and v1.63
sometimes one version fails to extract or even load a gdi, so i use the other.
If both fail, then I use familyguys batch script. (I think its called gdi2data?)

---

As for creating .gdi files, I need to learn howto make them.
Never messed with creating a .gdi.

If I have a selfboot cdi and a sort order, can i create the gdi from the cdi sourced data and the sort txt?
Will the created .gdi keep the same sort order as the original cdi?

Can build and unpack and edit a gdi with the tools in the video never used Gdrom explore ever and ton of the proto types i have built people are using.. Commandline drop drag the folder over the bat file it's not hard..

Why you want be using cdi files for anything in gdi i dont know.. Unless your trying to turn some thing that was only released as cdi..

Cant make homebrew a gdi with out using the patch on my github and building that from src including modding kos..SO you need the src code to each and every thing you made a GDI..
Want me to make some that used katana or wince back into a GDI i can do it..

To use the data from previously created selfboot cdi's, then make a gdi as well.
I can take older selfboot cdi's I made, extract them then build gdi <---
So you could have a .cdi and .gdi for ppl to download?
Idk, I will check the video.

Yes.

Nothing made on kos will work bins what ever etc..

I get same result if I was using RazorX 0GDTEX.PVR Tools Extracts but wont Build? WTF? Very Frustrating.

These GDROMs Successfully Rebuilt No Issue!
Biohazard Code: Veronica Kanzenban (R.E. Code Veronica X Mod)(Japan)(Translated)(GDEMU FIX)
Dead or Alive 2 Limited Edition
Resident Evil - Code Veronica (USA) GDEMU FIX

Basically Updating some of my Games with Fixes and Translations.
My PVRs attached.

Ok think it is a Dot Net Framework issue 1-3.5 installed fixed it on XP.

Without Dot Net using Razor 0GDEXTOOL delected extracted files will wipeout User Directory ran via desktop just aswell it was a Virtual Machine.

Windows 11 has issues?

Say, did anyone have any luck running the software on Linux? I'm short of using a virtual machine to run it.
