I think the boxed copies are probably all version 3.2, I have the TAO version and it works like a charm.

BTW their site was up when I last looked, about a month ago ...

Morphos people are waiting for the new version of fryingpan to be released, which apparently gets over the 2Gb limit.

For burning ISO images under Make CD you need the DAO (Disk at Once) version, which can also be used to make images.

I have used Nero 5.5 to make Amiga CDs, they work ok, but as pointed out it misses some of the flags which can cause problems.  Obviously Nero 5.5 is of no help whatsoever when trying to burn a CD from an Amiga.

As for the other stuff, verification is the only thing really missing from MakeCD for most people (and for myself I'm quite capable of doing a few quick checks anyway, which is enough for me).

If your DVD player needs a disk recorded in SVCD format it must be very out of date - mine is over a year old and will read any MPeg file from any CD.  

Can't comment on copying Playstation CDs, as I've yet to see a Playstation game I wanted - obviously thats making illegal copies too, which is something I avoid anyway.

@Doomy - I hope you have expressed permission from the copywrite holders to be commercially reproducing their stuff, otherwise this is piracy.  Just because it's on Back2Roots doesn't mean you can bung it on a CD and /sell/ it! (see their acceptable use policy).

Burning software on the Amiga has a hell of a long way to go.
Yeah, all the way to a new version of Fryingpan, lol.

ok, this is getting daft now, we're getting down to normal argumentative selective hearing, how did we get from 'where's the makeCD site gone' to arguing over weather this guy could give a flying rats behind about copy protected playstation games or what version of Windows is best [sic].

Ho hum ...

Paul - actually I think you'll find it's more a case of not caring about Windows than trying to slag it off - I don't think you'll find any diehard Amiga user said that MakeCD was better than any up to date PC burning program in this thread, you just seem to have come up with that all on your own ...

What it is is a utility that fits on one DD floppy and does everything that /most/ people want, just like all the good Amiga utilities.

ok, I'm done too now, lol :-)

That was thorough :-D

I'd agree with that, making backups for your own use comes under 'fair use' of course.  Out of the 5 or so people I know still using playstations (ones), I think they have 500 games, and 10 originals between 'em though ;-)

Copying things that are unobtainable elsewhere is a bit of a grey area, thats more legal IP problems than anything else - thats more at the owner's discression, really.
