Does anyone know how to read the content of two ISO files?

I have ripped a GD-ROM and I would like to preserve the original file ordering (with a converter and makesort). The problem is that I obtain two iso files (track03.iso and track05.iso) and IsoBuster can't read more than one image file at a time. Since track05.iso contains no "primary volume descriptor", i can't read each file separately.

get extract.exe put it in the same folder with .iso files Type in DOS "extract track03.iso track(last).iso last track start sector(6 digit number you can find during downloading process.
Look like this:
track21.iso.gz
start sector 337461 size 216354
337461 number you need
Good luck

Thanks, I already know how to extract files from iso's. But what I want to do is READ the original file ordering from the image files. When you use extract, you lose the order (it extracts the files in alphabetical order, which is not what i want).

I don't understand why you need original files order, you don't need it to do anything with the game??????????

Doesn't it help to reduce the dreamcast laser head movement?

No, laser head movement reduced by adding dummy file. All you need is last track sector.
