Bit of a long shot - i've got a few EMU sample CD disc ISOs that were created by Mach Five. I'm using Translator to convert my other CDROMs into Kontakt files - but the ISO versions aren't showing up at all. Is there anyway or anywhere that can convert / read them so i can convert them in in Translator ? Running a Mac Studio and Sonoma, so Mach Five is not an option.

Re: EMU DISC ISO FILES ?!!
ISO are disk images and should just mount in the macOS. If you have Toast, there are other ways to mount them.
If still an issue, I can look at this next week when back in town at my Mac.

Re: EMU DISC ISO FILES ?!!
Yeah, that's what I assumed back in the day Mike but my AKAI, EMU and so on discs from the '90s wouldn't show.
The only way I managed to see them was via MachFive.

Re: EMU DISC ISO FILES ?!!
FIXED : Translator does see them, you have to put them in a specific place so they appear as 'Virtual Drives' in the source column on the left.
The path is : users/library/applicationsupport/chickensystems/translator7/images
They should then appear as a drop down under 'virtual drives' on the left and can be converted as normal.
Chicken Systems support is a bit......interesting isn't it ?!
A bit abrupt to say the least, but they pointed me in the right direction.
