Where's the MakeCD site?
« on: August 30, 2004, 04:27:56 AM »
I was trying to get to the MakeCD site (http://makecd.core.de) and iBrowse came up with "Network Error: Connection Refused". Google had the page in it's cache at:

http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:w11HKfNZULQJ:makecd.core.de/+MakeCD+Amiga&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&strip=1

(This is the version without the pics, as all of the links to them are broken.)

I am planning on buying ths as soon as I can get the cash, but I wanted to make sure I had the newest version. I have v3.2c, and I was wanting to get the 10th Public Beta of 3.2d as well as the makecdromfs.module 45.10 so I can burn some disks for my Windoze-using friends.

I hope that the site is only down for a short time and not gone for good. But I also really need these two files:

MakeCD32d_public_beta_10.lha
makecdromfs_45_10.lha

Like I said, I'm not sure what version is in the box I plan on getting from Compuquik, so I wanted to get the current stuff. And I can work with the program with it's shareware limitations until I can afford to buy the full package.

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 ...

Why do you say that?   :-o

A PC does a much better job at burning "Amiga" CD-Rs then the Amiga does.  So that's why I suggested that he use a PC instead of an Amiga to burn CDs.  This is what I do and it works great.   :-)

Waste of time. Windows doesn't even support Amiga protection bits properly, and is poor at ISO 9660 Level 2.

Anyway, MakeCD is actually better than Nero at burning CDs. I use it preferentially to my PC any day.

Yes, I was being very helpful.  Unlike you, I told him to use a PC instead of an Amiga for burning "Amiga" CD-Rs.  It works better that way.   :-D

You are wrong about that.  I have never had any problems creating a true "Amiga" CD on my PC computer, you just have to know what you are doing.   :-D

I have always told people that Nero sucks and that they should be using the Adaptec software instead.  Try using the Adaptec software under Windows 98 Second Edition and you will see for yourself that it blows the doors off the Amiga's MakeCD software.   :roll:

I sell Amiga CDs that I create on eBay.  I have never had one returned and my customers are very happy with them.  In fact, I have even had repeat customers who have bought more then one of my Amiga CDs.  So, actually, I do have an idea of what I am doing.  The Amiga CDs that I create and sell are the following:

Wings
SideWinder
F/A-18 Interceptor
King's Quest VI
Nucleus
Amiga Programs DMS & ADF Volume One

I also create Amiga CD32 CDs from my Master ISO files.

I will be selling more Amiga CDs soon.  I usually sell them around Christmas time.  They are really nice.  They have printed jewel case inserts and are shrink-wrapped to help protect them in shipping.  I also create CDs for the Atari ST computers.    :-D

Come back when Amiga burning software gets out the 90s. MakeCD can not even handle old 90s PSX games with LibCrypt  :lol:.

The guy wanted MakeCD plain and simple, if you can help him get it then great.

I have MakeCD so here goes:

How does one tell MakeCD to verify the files after burning?

Can you tell me how to do a full media check in MakeCD?

Got a few MPG files here, how do i make a SVCD in MakeCD?

Where is the built-in audio editor so i can edit/clean up songs before burning?

Where can i set MakeCD to auto connect to the net and download track names?

How do you tell MakeCD to rip a Audio CD to OGG files?

How do i burn a ISO in MakeCD?

etc etc.

Yes, I can sell him a copy.  But I was trying to stir him away from it for his own good.   :-D
