Dump P3F ISO

Dump the disc image from your game DVD for emulation.

P3F Community Enhancement Pack was retired on 05 January 2024.

The pack still works, but it will no longer receive updates or support. Information on this page may be outdated.

See the End of Life FAQ for more information.

Introduction

We're going to dump the game data from your P3F DVD to your PC as an ISO disc image file. This will allow you to play P3F without having the DVD in your disc drive.

If you have already dumped your P3F ISO, move it to your P3F Mods\Setup folder and skip to the next page.

Download & Install ImgBurn

We'll use a tool called ImgBurn to create a backup image of your game disc.

Download from Ninite

  • Download the ImgBurn installer from Ninite:

DO NOT download the ImgBurn installer from imgburn.com!

That version of the installer is bundled with nasty adware that must be manually unchecked during the installation process!

The version installed from Ninite is safe - it does not contain any adware and is recommended by the developers of PCSX2.

Run Installer

  • Run Ninite ImgBurn Installer.exe.

  • Ninite will automatically download and install ImgBurn.

  • Once Ninite is finished, select Close.

  • ImgBurn is now installed on your PC.

Dump ISO with ImgBurn

Prepare DVD

  • Double-check your P3F DVD for dust and fingerprints, then insert it into your PC's disc drive.

Launch ImgBurn

  • Launch ImgBurn and select Create image file from disc.

Change Save Location

  • In the window that appears, select the small magnifying glass with a folder to browse for a new location for the ISO.

  • Navigate to your P3F Mods\Setup folder.

  • Leave the file name as Image.iso and select Save.

  • The ImgBurn window should now show the updated file path:

Dump DVD to ISO

  • When you're ready, select the DVD to disc image button in the bottom-left corner to start dumping P3F to an ISO file. This will take 5-10 minutes depending on the speed of your drive.

  • Once the Output Successfully Completed! window appears, click OK and close ImgBurn.

That's all you need your P3F disc for; feel free to eject it and put it away now.
