  1. With the package iat, available from the standard repositories, it is possible to convert a .mdx file, to an easy mountable .iso file.

  3. Look at this forum post.

    [...] it looks like .mdx in this context is a format unique to Daemon-Tools. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to open it in anything but Daemon-Tools. You probably should have just ripped your discs to .iso, but I'm guessing you already figured that out. I think you have 2 choices. 1. re-rip all you media. Or 2. Open Daemon Tool in Windows and see if you can convert .mdx to .iso.

  4. You can use CDemu:

    https://cdemu.sourceforge.io/about/libmirage/

    after installation just run:

    cdemu load 0 your_image.mdx and it will appear as CD-ROM you can mount.

    You can also use GUI of your choice like gcdemu.

    All of them are available in this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~cdemu/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
