BURNING GAMES ON A MAC

[Comrade Snarky]

I'm curious if this will work with data/data format games. Can you download one of the ReviveDC releases in the download section and let me know?

sure thing. will do when i have some more time to spare. will get back to you asap

Just a quick update. I downloaded one of the ReviveDC files and the first problem i encountered was that mac computers don't automatically use/process .7z files so i had to download a program, which was free by the way, to be able to extract the data files. This was called Ez7z 2.12. The only difference besides this was that the file extracted into 2 data files instead of 1 data file and one audio file. The process is the same though as in instead of doing the audio file go straight to the process of mounting disk image and select the first data file (usually data 01) and burn with write session then repeat the process for data 02 but write disk the second time round. I have tested the game (which was Evolution - World of the Sacred Device) and it just wouldn't load up. I don't know whether it is my method that is faulty or what not but i will continue to try when i get more discs and see if i can get my head around it.

Hm, interesting. I ripped that copy of Evolution and tested it, it's definitely working as burned by Disc Juggler. I wonder if it's adding some kind of pre-gap or something. That would screw up the LBA of the boot sector and prevent the game from working.

Hey

I know this is an old thread, but I am coming back to burning some DC games after a few years and I can't work out how I used to burn the ReviveDC releases on my Snow Leopard Mac.

I use CDI rip and it spits out two data ISO's. How do I burn those to disk in Toast?

Thanks.

if you used CDIrip, you should end up with an audio file (small) and an iso

you need toast 10 (with multi track option) to do this

put in a blank cd. first, select Audio CD. add the audio file. click the big red button and when the burn settings pop up click on advanced and click on WRITE SESSION ONLY. DO NOT WRITE DISC. when toast finishes burning the audio file it will give you the option to eject or mount the disc. mount it. then when it goes back into Toast, click on the COPY button. Click on multi-track cd-rom xa. click the "select" button and add the .iso file that goes along with the audio file from before.

Click the big red button and go back to the advanced tab and click on write disc.

No CDI rip is outputting two ISO files, one small and one large. I'm not getting the audio file from it.
