Title: What is the proper way to image a lot of old CDs?
Post by: ThunderSock on January 21, 2018, 08:34:29 PM

I want to image all my old CDs before the data rot gets too bad on them, and most of them are weird games that probably use annoying DRM. In addition, while I have the old hardware to copy the disks I would prefer using my new machine for heavy lifting. I have about 100 disks to go through, so I want to do this right the first time.

I figured I could use sheepshaver on windows, but what disk software makes a lossless image? Toast 5?

Thanks

:)

As discussed here (just search the site) Toast 4.1 can make images of some copy protected CDs with a few "tweaks".  Toast 5 took those options away :(

So 4 is the best to make an archive quality image
