Archimedes World CD
Archimedes World CD
I have been searching high and low for an ISO of this CD, does anyone have a copy at all?
Re: Archimedes World CD
I have a copy of this disc. But it seems to be a bit of a strange format. If you put it in Acorn Computer it displays all the files / folders. If you put it in a CD player it displays 33 tracks. The first track is the data file, so can't be played, but tracks 2 to 33 play fine.
Thus I haven't been able to make an ISO of it. However I was able to open the disc on a RISC OS setup, copy the files off and Zip the contents. I was also able to rip the audio tracks to mp3 on my Windows machine and zip these.
Assuming this might be achieve what you want in a round about sort of way I can put them up somewhere. Too big to post on here

Re: Archimedes World CD
That sounds like a standard Mixed-Mode CD. Any comprehensive CD-authoring software should be able to read the entire disc directly, and create a Mixed-Mode ISO - I'd have used Nero Burning ROM (on PC) back in the day.acorndave wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 4:15 pm I have a copy of this disc.

Re: Archimedes World CD
Hmm, well l don't know if the disc is protected in some way or damaged. Although it looks ok. But I tried Nero and Imgburn. They both failed with read errors/disc not understood
Re: Archimedes World CD
I have this CD. I believe the ISO format can't handle multiple tracks, so .bin/.cue is the right format to rip it to (or a proprietary equivalent such as Nero .nrg).
I use ImgBurn for things like this. The blu-ray drive in my PC didn't want to rip it, but I had success (I think) with an older external USB DVD drive. After ripping the image verified OK against the CD.
Hopefully you can used the linked files to burn a physical copy. You'll need to extract both files from the .zip and it's the .cue file that you load into the burning software (ImgBurn is good).

Re: Archimedes World CD
ImgBurn usually tells you what file extension it needs (usually BIN with CUE), this is also confirmed with Sony PS1 & PS2 CDs / DVDs
still can't get PS2 dvd Wallace & Gromit game to work in PS3 though
don't use Nero, useless

Re: Archimedes World CD
Thanks guys! I hadn't checked back until now!
Re: Archimedes World CD
Were there any more Archimedes World CD's, I have a stack of Acorn User CD's.
Re: Archimedes World CD
I'm not sure. I only have that CD and the first two Acorn User CDs. I didn't have a CD-ROM for my A3010, so had to use one at school to copy the files I wanted onto floppies.
It was around that time (1996) I wanted to get an Internet connection. My A3010 was just too slow for web browsing so we got a PC as my school had just moved to Windows 95 and it was much better value
Did the .bin work by the way?
Re: Archimedes World CD
It did indeed, thanks
Re: Archimedes World CD
I only have that CD. But the Kosovo Charity CD allegedly contains disc 1 and 2 so maybe there was another.
There's an iso for that here:
