ISO making problems

[MondayHopscotch]

I am trying to make an ISO of one of my PS1 games. The game runs fine on my playstation even though the bottom is moderately scratched.

When i try to make the iso using Alcohol 120%, it gets about 60% through then just stops because of some disc read error.

I figure it did this because skip red errors isnt turned on. If i check the skip read error box, will the iso come out ok with errors in it?

If you check skip read errors it will make errors in the image, you can scan it with CDmage to see. However if you make a couple images sometimes it'll read the sectors just fine and you can import the good sectors all into 1 image with CDmage

Oh also, if you're using a DVD drive to rip your stuff try to find a CD drive. They work much much better.

A little question
What is the best software to make an iso for Ps1 and Ps2?

[Inferno.]

! THIS IS FOR PS1 !

It's a toss up between a few programs.

I'm gonna go ahead and say:

1. CloneCD (Makes CCD, IMG, SUB disc images)
or
2. CDRWin (Makes BIN, CUE disc images)

[Ragnar]

For PS2 I'd suggest DVD Decrypter/ImgBurn.

[Cygor]

Thanks Daaaaaaan I am going to test both.
CDRwin 6.1 of Engelmann Media or 4.0d of Goldenhawk?

4.0D by GoldenHawk is exactly what I use.

O.K

Thanks Ragnar

4.0D by GoldenHawk is exactly what I use.

I always use CDRWin. Alcohol120 just sucks arse with both making copies as burning images.
However if the disc you're trying to copy is badly scratched, it'll take like forever to make an image, but I've heard toothpaste can used to polish some of the scratches.

lol minty fresh discs, yum. I might try it.
Yeah I'm starting to dislike Alcohol 120% a lot now..

well if Alcohol sucks according to some of you, what is another good program that is able to make and burn isos that also can make and mount things to virtual drives?

ps - preferably free

You can always use Alcohol ONLY to mount images, though that's a bit over the top when you can do it with Daemon tools. As for burning, I always use Nero, but only because it came with my DVD burner. When I want to make an image of a PS1 game, I prefer ISObuster. Simple and efficient. Never had an issue with it, thought I can't say I've ripped that many games.

For PSX & Saturn games.

Ripping & Burning bin/cue:
CDRWin

Mounting to virtual Drive:
Daemon Tools

For burning other formats besides cue/bin:
Mount to Daemon Tools, use CDRWin to create a new bin/cue from mounted image, then use CDRWin to burn new bin/cue.

Both CDRWin (demo) & Daemon Tools are free.

I would try ISOBuster. It hasn't failed me yet.

[SegNin]

ISOBuster is good for ripping, but it can't be used for burning.

With Daemon tools, i have the option to download a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version. What is the difference? The numbers made me think of processors, of which i have an AMD. Which version should i download?
