I can’t seem to get this working on my G4 MDD with OS 9.2.2. The intro plays fine, then the interface that has options/transport/email appears but the rest of the screen is black and it appears to freeze at this point. Any ideas?
Thanks MTT, hopefully readers of this page are no longer confused.
And the page still holds what's neccessary.
I don't want to decide alone.
That is a moderators decision (i.e. yours or another). I happen to agree, but it is not for me to do.
I think we must
clean upremove the other files, leaving online the internal and Max1zzz's only.The iso on max's server and on the internal server are the same and are hybrid disc images with HFS on the Mac side, so there is no need for another copy. But thanks anyway. However if you do want to add yours, you should leave the others intact.
I am totally confused about which images here have what. I have an original copy of the CD, which is an HFS/ISO hybrid. Shall I image it and upload that image here, and delete the rest?
I own a 'Carmen Math Detective CD-ROM' (English) in HFS Standard format.
Software is copyrighted 1998 (Classic only) , printed on CD is the year 2004.

Well... somebody did click a "2004" checkbox on this site...
Googling gets me this, from 1998...

My guess is it should be HFS (or HFS/ISO 9660 hybrid) - a direct CD to (.cdr or .iso) file would settle this.
Edit: Anyway, I've changed the 'xxx 7' to 'Mac OS 7', sorry. - IIGS User
Are you sure that the original CD is not HFS+? This is a 2004 CD after all. When making a disk image, doesn't Toast just take a copy of the CD and use the type of file system that is on the CD?
EDIT: Or do all CDs use HFS?
The first time I used Toast 11, I was no longer able to find this option,
so I'm still using Toast 10 and try not to use a newer version in the future.
The option "HFS Standard" is hidden in the Options area,
when you create a "Data" type of CD-ROM image.
But what about creating a "Copy" type of CD-ROM image?
Ohhh, okay! I'll give it a shot... I AM using Toast. Sometimes. I'm running these games on Mac OS 9, myself. *cracks up*
I'm sure, original media must be formatted in HFS Standard, if you're using Toast, there must be an option to tick anywhere in the GUI.
HFS+ volumes cannot be read on anything older than Mac OS 8.1.
Shoot! What's the difference, and how do I change it?!
Be aware, the current "Download (external link)" contains a HFS+ image,
which should be a HFS-only image.
