Where's the MakeCD site?

[BoingBoss]

Hi Paul_Gadd,

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

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

Who the hell cares about burning PSX games? You can get them original for pennies these days.

DVD burning is the future. Amiga needs to concentrate on that, to get out of the 90s. Not in worthless PSX piracy...

[rayt]

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

Afaik there is also a version of dvdrtools for amigaos wich is a state of the art cd/dvd burning package that works with almost every scsi/ide burner.

DVD burning is the future. Amiga needs to concentrate on that, to get out of the 90s.

Like I said above its already possible, but the main problem is of course the 2Gb file size limit in amigaos (dos.library). Don't know about Morphos, but IIRC OS4 still has this problem. I might be wrong, though (I hope so).

@Rayt

Not THAT much of a problem. Ever notice when DVD players kinda pause the movie for a second? That's because it's loading up a different 'chapter'. Those chapters are often as many if not many more than the number of 'scenes' you can skip to in the main menu. Very rarely find a full 2gig file.... alteast in my limited experience messing with DVDs here.

[Holley]

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If your DVD player needs a disk recorded in SVCD format it must be very out of date - mine is over a year old and will read any MPeg file from any CD.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

@DoomMaster

Bad bad pirate.

[drHirudo]

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

:-?

So you are one of these pirate nerds who makes money by selling software which he didn't have any right to do. This is criminal act and people like you should be sanctioned. What's your name on EBay, so you should be listed as a scammer/pirate and a common loser? :pissed:

Plays MPegs fine without authoring, but that has nothing to do with it. MakeCD is medicore and featureless compared to others, comparing Nero to MakeCD is just worthless as Nero does a hell of a lot more than MakeCD will ever do (does the authors even update that program anymore?).

No DVD support in 2004? says it all about wonderful MakeCD.

It is called "Fair use".

Like a broken record you Amiga users bring piracy in to every conversation (must be some obsession or something). MakeCD can also be used to pirate cds  :-o but that seems to be acceptable.

[Holley]

[Piru]

touchy about piracy

There are various levels of piracy. I consider someone giving a copy of a game to a friend less evil than someone massproducing illegal copies of games and selling them on EBay. Pirates like DoomMaster are the lowest scum.

[KennyR]

MakeCD is for burning CDs, nothing else. Being unable to burn DVDs is not lack of feature set any more than its inability of being able to play DivX. Or cleaning your car. Or bringing world peace.

[BoingBoss]

Many people are selling "Amiga CDs" on eBay.  Afterall, it is now considered to be "Abandoned-Ware" and nobody really cares about the "piracy issue".  The Amiga is now dead and that's that.  Do not get me wrong, I love the Amiga computer, but I am wise enough to know that it is a "dead" computer.  The PC won the computer war and is now the king.  As Duke Nukem would say "Hail to the king, baby".   :-D

[lempkee]

someone on here said Makecd cant do psx stuff, thats a bit weird...i mean.. did u actually check it out before you stated it?..

Paradogs (paradox to some) is/was the biggest psx crackers out there and do you know what? , everything they did was done on AMIGA with AMIGA sw! , they made the plugs to use in makecd etc.

anyway sure its many years ago and i couldnt care less as i know about it only because of one thing .. "FPSE" and the cracktro cd image they released.

as for DVD , i use OS4 for that (built in DVD-rw/DVDR etc) (and yes thats RECORDING) , and i m waiting for Fryingpan which is on its way with dvd support, makecd has planned DVD support but not much happened lately it seems.

Also u have DVDrTools which is a linux port thingy , its kinda allright wehen u get the hang of it..


as for scumm selling pirated {bleep} on ebay, "FUCK OFF!" , doommaster or not.

Amiga is DEAD?...ok..WHO is living in the past now? we AMIGA users or the people who belive amiga is DEAD?...

if i where a moderator on amiga.org i would have personally removed all comments made by doommaster every time he tried..

:-)

AMIGA RULEZ and im about to explode...WHOPPY..the day is saved.....NOT!


pps:SVCD and VCD i used to make in BURNIT as Makecd cant do it , or couldnt back then anyway (many years ago)

[B00tDisk]

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...

Fuh.

This is proof positive that not only should nobody turn to you for Amiga advice, nobody should turn to you for PC advice, either.

Win98 SE.  

Jesus.

[BoingBoss]

Hi B00tDisk,

Win98 SE.

Windows 98 Second Edition is THE best Windows for Home Use.

Windows 2000 and NT are THE best for business.

Windows XP Home and Professional Editions just plain SUCK!

My best friend uses Windows XP and he has had nothing but problems with it.  I on the other hand, continued to use Windows 98 Second Edition and I have NEVER had any problems.  My friend also uses the Nero software and now agrees with me that the Adaptec software is better.   :-)

[Paul_Gadd]

someone on here said Makecd cant do psx stuff, thats a bit weird...i mean.. did u actually check it out before you stated it?..

Clearly i said it can not copy protected titles, i used to burn PSX games with MakeCD and every protected game needed the Image patched with either Amippf or PSXHacker (excellent tool) before burning, MakeCD chokes on simple stuff.

Burning software on the Amiga has a hell of a long way to go.

@BoingBoss

You keep saying Adaptec, so i assume you mean Adaptec not Roxio? Adaptec =  :-) Roxio =  :-(
