Hello all,

I recently managed to locate a copy of the CD patch for Loom, a very nostalgic child hood game. I also managed to find a copy of the voice audio.

The instructions for using the audio state that I need to burn two files to CD -
Track01.ISO & Track02.wav.

If BURN doesn't work for you, or you'd rather use your own CD burning program, you will need to lay out the disk like so:

Track 1: Mode 1 ISO, OUT\TRACK01.ISO
Track 2: 4 minutes, 32 seconds, 0 frames silence
.WAV audio, OUT\TRACK02.WAV

The CD should be burnt in Disk-At-Once mode with no gaps between the tracks. Note that many CD burning programs cannot automatically pad tracks with silence at the beginning, and others don't handle gapless burning consistently, so it is preferable to use BURN. (If you don't pad Track 2 with silence, the voices won't match what's going on in the game.)

Now, would I be able to emulate the above layout on my hard-drive, and then mount it with Daemon Tools or similar? I'm happy to (attempt) any tweaking required, so long as an end result is feasible.

Or, should I bite the bullet and (attempt to) convince my wife that we really need a CD burner?

My thanks in advance.
