Revenge of StripIso

Well, i've been having some trouble lately... I want to try some Saturn builds, but stripiso doesn't work under NT/XP... there is a "drop in replacement" called revenge of stripiso, but Daemon Tools say the result of it isn't a correct ISO file. Anyone had experience in this?

I have no idea what StripISO (or Revenge Of, for that matter) is.

What are you TRYING to do, exactly?

Oh, sorry. Let's go tru my steps ^^;

I'm trying to build an ISO acceptable to boot by a Saturn...

I have my prebuilt .CTI :

Code: 
  
Disc CDROM HELLO.DSK LeadIn MODE1 PostGap 150 EndTrack Track MODE1 Pause 150 Volume ISO9660 HELLO.DSK SystemArea "ip.bin" PrimaryVolume SystemIdentifier "SEGA SEGASATURN" VolumeIdentifier "STARDST_01" VolumeSetIdentifier "STARDST_01" LogicalBlockSize 2048 PublisherIdentifier "SEGA ENTERPRISES, LTD." DataPreparerIdentifier "SEGA ENTERPRISES, LTD." ApplicationIdentifier "STARDST_01" CopyrightFileIdentifier "CPY.TXT" AbstractFileIdentifier "ABS.TXT" BibliographicFileIdentifier "BIB.TXT" Lpath ; Path tables as specified for Saturn Mpath Hierarchy File 0STRDST.BIN;1 Source SL.BIN EndFile File ABS.TXT;1 Source ABS.TXT EndFile File BIB.TXT;1 Source BIB.TXT EndFile File CPY.TXT;1 Source CPY.TXT EndFile File ROM.SMC;1 Source ROM.SMC EndFile EndHierarchy EndPrimaryVolume EndVolume PostGap 150 EndTrack Leadout CDDA Empty 500 EndTrack EndDisc
I call it on the image building program BuildCD like this:

buildcd -mf:\std.map -if:\std.img stardust.cti

Alas, std.img is a "ready to burn"(?) image, so we need to convert it to a everyday man's format. So I call upon the StripIso program, like this:

stripiso s 2048 f:\std.img f:\std.iso

Now, old stripiso crashes under NT/XP... Someone from the PSX dev scene created a program called Revenge of Stripiso, that's supposed to be a "drop-in" (as in, the functionality and command line options are alike) replacement for the original program. But... it doesn't work, as far as I could see. Anyone's know another way to build ISO's under XP?

mkisofs..., but you'll have to insert the IP through some other means.

The -G argument allows inserting a bootstrap image. It's not used for Dreamcast because it won't work in conjunction with the session offset.

Thank you, antime, Ex... I was finnaly able to build the ISO, and this marks the end of 6 months without working dev tools. Now I just need to get one of my saturns working again >_<

Sure there must be a tool for that called StripSaturn ...

HARR, HARR :devil
