Question from a DC "Expert"! Help! =)

[Whim]

Hi, folks -

I'm baffled on this one. I regularly use the CDIrip or CDI2nero methods for burning DC CDs (I've done 70+ that way), as well as converting games to self-boot by hand (with the echelon tutorial, mkisofs, etc.). I've done those heaps of times to, with no problem. But in the last week or so, something odd's been happening, and I'm at a loss to explain what it is, so I'm hoping someone here can help.

For about the last week or so, whenever I do a convert from a CDI (v2 and v3 images, both) to an ISO *OR* an NRG file, the resulting file comes out corrupted (unreadable by Daemon Tools, as well as ISOBuster.) The CDI file remains totally readable by Daemon Tools. And whenever I use mkisofs to make a multi-session CD, the same problem results. Insteresting thing here is that this ONLY happens if I specify a -C in mkisofs' commandline. If I don't try to create it as a multi-session ISO, it's readable by Daemon Tools, and it passes isovfy's test with no errors. As soon as I try to specify an LBA for the second session though (even one I KNOW is correct), it generates a corrupted ISO file. CDIRip also produces corrupted ISOs the same way.

Like I said, I've used cdirip, cdi2nero, and mkisofs before, all successfully, so I'm totally stumped as to what could be causing this. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Do you use the latest versions of the softwares? Also, have you tried to use the AUTOSELFBOOT kit found on this site?

I use them all and it has been working fine for me for the last xx months...
