Handy for burning ISOs from PS2 (and I think PS1, haven't tried that--for CDs--PS1 and blue PS2 discs--you're supposed to rip to BIN+CUE rather than ISO, supposedly) discs. Just kind of works! Supposedly not the formal one to use for "preservation" and getting ROMs of a certain approved CRC or whatnot, but I don't care about that. |

| | | | ImgBurn was hanging while analyzing track 3--an audio track--of my Seirei Senshi Spriggan (see entry 600) PC Engine disc--and that occurs before read errors, so setting ImgBurn to ignore read errors was useless; but PowerISO (see entry 1877) seems to have ripped it successfully! It popped up a dialogue asking if it could ignore read errors, I said sure, and the resulting iso is running okay so far in Mednafen. Nice! The ripping procedure is also a bit more straightforward with PowerISO; might switch to using it as my go-to over ImgBurn, not sure yet. |
