This should be obvious, though.Īs for software that supports TAO, most software should do TAO (like Eas圜D Pro, just don't select the DAO option any it will default to TAO).īy removing (chopping) the existing post-gap from an image, the CD burner is forced to generate a new post-gap (holding the correct EDC/ECC). It is also imperative that the track type is set as Mode2/Form2 (XA) in the cue-sheet. It should then work on any burner that accepts RAW data sectors ( 2352 bytes) and writes in TAO mode. Come to think of it, just strip 450 sectors, as the PSX doesn't report frames, so +/- 2 sectors won't make a difference.īasically, chop of 2352*450 ( 1,058,400 bytes) from the end of the image and write it in TAO mode and close the disc. This may not be required, but I assume that the reported track length in the TOC is checked, so any post-gap added by a TAO written track *may* not work correctly due to the extra 'n' sectors. Where 'n' is the required value your burner adds to tracks in TAO mode.
These patches don't work for the SPANISH & ITALIAN versions!Īs for chopping the image, all it requires is that the post-gap is removed (it depends on the writer, but usually it's either 450 or 452 sectors, so cut 2352*n off the end.
bin file, patch it then rename it back before burning. The filename does need to be medievil.nrg though so if you are using CDRWin, rename the. This patch uses a "Search and Replace" method to patch the necessary bytes rather than the normal offset method and so should work on ANY image file no matter what software produced it. I hope to brush up on my assembly language to improve this but for now it's better than editing the image manually. It's not perfect because there are 10 locations (7 for the French) to patch and for each one, the whole image is searched from the start. Place in the same directory and run it.Make an image file from your CD and call it 'medievil.nrg'.If you try to run it on any other version, it will probably complain that it cannot find the bytes.
