This is when a program is used to allow a game (in this case The Legend of Dragoon) to be played on a computer or other devices. On this page, the necessary programs, files, and set-up will be explained to emulate The Legend of Dragoon on your computer. Please note, depending on your local laws, the use of emulation software, downloading of bios files, or downloading games may be illegal.

Requirements

Extractors

If you don't have one already, you will need to get an extractor. This will allow you to extract the files you need and is a critical component.

• 7-zip (Windows) - easy to download and access
• WinRAR (Windows, Mac, Linux) - easy to use and handles many different compression formats

Emulator software

There are several types of emulators on the Internet. Here are the ones that are known to work with The Legend of Dragoon.

• ePSXe (Windows and Linux) - Used by: LODFan, ChetYouBet and WikiaPhoenix.
• PCSX-Reloaded (Mac)

Game

If you do not have a copy of The Legend of Dragoon you can go online and download a copy of the iso. Even if you do have a copy the game may run better through an iso. We request that any site listed be virus free and safe.

• Emupardise - Used by: LODFan
• CoolROM

However, if you own a copy of the game, you can use a software to create an image of the disc.

• The free version of DAEMON Tools Lite can create a .mdx file of a disc and then mount it to run as a CD.
• ImgBurn can create .bin images of the disks that can be run natively by ePSXe.

Emulator Installation

This section contains the steps required for each Emulator on how to install and additional files needed to get them running. Additionally the instructions for properly configuring the emulators are included and how to run games.
