About:
Mdf2iso is a command-line utility designed to convert proprietary MDF image files, typically created by Alcohol 120%, into the standard ISO 9660 format. This conversion allows users to mount or burn the images using native Linux tools or other software that does not support the MDF format directly. It provides a straightforward solution for accessing disc images from Windows-based backup software on Unix-like systems.

Key Features:

Converts MDF/MDS images to standard ISO format
Lightweight, single-purpose command-line tool
No dependencies on external libraries or GUI
Preserves data integrity during conversion

Use Cases:

Accessing legacy Windows game or software backups on Linux systems
Converting disc images for use in virtualization software that requires ISO
Preparing MDF images for burning to physical media using standard Linux utilities

Alternatives:

ccd2iso – Converts CloneCD (CCD/IMG) images instead of Alcohol 120% format
iat – Universal image converter supporting multiple formats but with a larger footprint
