Hiya. I've ran through basically every thread on here and I've tried to make a collection of all the CD burning tools. Tell me if this sounds right...
-----------Tools
XXCDRWIN --Not available for free, so I didn't get it...the free version was very crippled, 1x speed.
//StripISO --converts BuildCD .img format to .iso?
//BuildCD --Sega CD Tools? Makes .img file? Originally a BSD tool.
--Also used in PSX dev. Makes .img from .cti
http://batman.jypoly.fi/~robin/psx/ (Check his Software Page)
http://dev.paradogs.com/tools.html (Check the various BuildCD.zip and cdtools.zip packages)
//Revenge of StripISO --XP compatible StripISO?
http://www.constantthought.com/yabbse/inde...lay;threadid=22
//SatConv --Region converter
//Sega Cue Maker? --Creates CUE sheets for Sega cds...SEGACD and SEGASATURN compatible.
http://www.segaextreme.com/ Check the Help & FAQ --> "Saturn Utilities" and "Files & Software"
//CDMage --img to ISO conversion
http://cdmage.orcon.net.nz/main.html (Very slow.)
//Daemon Tools? --Virtual CD emulation?
--ah, usable for SSF.
http://www.daemon-tools.cc/
//ISOBuster --view filesystem of any ISO file?
--Some features require a PRO version that must be purchased.
http://www.smart-projects.net/isobuster/
//CDRTOOLS --a Windows port...of unix-style tools.
http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/...e/cdrecord.html
--there is an alternate package called CDRDAO.
--contains MKISOFS
//CDRDAO --Disk at once? From TOC files.
http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/
//VCDTools --Virtual CD tools. Used for the CartDev environment -- build a virtual CD image and load it to the CartDev.
--Found in the VCDTOOLS.zip/Virtual CD Software package or in the Sega Basic Library 6 package --> SEGABIN folder.
The SBL6 package and the VCD package can be obtained from Antime's resources page for Saturn. http://www.antime.org/sega/docs.html
-----------Tools
First, a few questions about the tools.
1. Where exactly can you find the official BuildCD executable? It's open source, surely someone must have made the Win32 binary. All I can find are PSX dev sites that happen to have zip packages of it.
2. CDRTOOLS is a binary of the *nix CDRTOOLS. Maybe this is obvious, but I can use their CDRECORD to burn CDs then, right?
3. What is CDRDAO for?
Finally, I assume the burning process would be something like..
1. Create/find IP.bin.
2. Create disk TOC or CTI file.
3. Make image using BuildCD (or MKISOFS, which is used by BuildCD anyway)
4. Convert image (if needed) to ISO using CDMage or StripISO.
5. Burn CD or use ISO with emulators by using Daemon Tools.
Is that right? ...What place does the Sega Cue Maker have in this? I see plenty of CUEs around the forum. Are CUE and CTI interchangeable?
