Exact Amiga Readable CD Format?
« on: August 26, 2004, 08:06:24 PM »
I've checked back a bit, and maybe it was selective blindness, and I've google searched, only to get lots of unhelpful pages each with different opinions.

If I want to read long filenames on an Amiga with AmiCDFS, (or as it is, WinUAE with AmiCDFS)...What are the EXACT specifications I should use to write the disc?

I just wrote one with Nero Express, and I couldn't find an option to change the standard. However, the long filenames and extensions were retained (at least when viewed by XP) and when I examined the written disc, it indeed showed that it used Joliet. The WinUAE miggy though, just sees 8.3 format. I wanna know exactly what format to use, and the best Burning software to do it.

Thanks

Ok, so Rockridge it is. Thanks guys.

@BoingBoss... I'm assuming then, that Adaptec's DirectCD supports Rockridge then yes?

Well I installed AsimCDFS and it made not a blind bit of difference to reading the burned CD.

I can't find Adaptecs DirectCD anywhere (plenty of links to upgrade downloads and information about it, but not the program) as it seems Adaptec no longer make this software.

I'm not paying for Nero's full Ultra package, back in England I got Nero 5.5 with a CD burner that cost a fraction of Nero Ultra, and over here I got a CD burner with Nero 6 Express that cost less than 25% of Nero Ultra's asking price.

I'm just gonna call it a day for Amiga CD reading... I'm supposed to be on a nostalgia trip, not pretending my PC really is a souped up Amiga ::blush::

Plenty of investigating there for me to do. As always, thanks guys. Pity Nero 5.5 supports it, my copy is SOOOO far away. Still, I'm planning a trip there in November, so if I can't get hold of it out here, at least I'll have a fallback plan should none of the other ideas pan out  :-P
