I finally got a game running on my Mac which I had burned on PC.
Is selecting HFS as 'image type' in Nero the most crucial part?
I succeeded with 'Jewels of the Oracle' but then I failed with 'Shivers' using the same method.
The Shivers CD got spat out like a foreign object with the usual message.
Then I checked the files on the iso. There are 'data' files 3 to 20 and they're all empty; is that normal?
This whole burning affair is so frustrating, and some time soon I'll break the next busted CD in half; and I mean I'll be doing it affectively in that moment. No matter what, there is a lot of plastic to be disposed already.
Last thing I burned another game on a 870MB CD-R and my Mac took 2 minutes to recognise the game; and only the first time at all, nevermore after that.
CD-RWs are treated by the Mac like paper it seems; no reaction at all.

Now I wondered if it is necessary to spend a whole CD for isos that aren't even 100MB. The 'Alone in the Dark' trilogy for instance fits easily on one CD. And if these three games do not demand the proper disc in drive whilst playing, then it should work, shouldn't it?
I'd only need to know how to extract the files within the .iso and .img, or somehow remove that barrier. After that everything is to be wrapped up into an iso of one's own. Is that feasible?
