ME! Posted November 19, 2002 Author Share Posted November 19, 2002 yah, easy cd creator only lets you have 64 characters in a file name. sucks big time. but its actually the only problem i have had using the software, besides not being able to write isos properly to cd, but in that case i just use cdrwin of fireburner. cdrwin and fireburner both support more characters in a file name, but for some reason, today they both decided to be jerks. i do have a copy of nero but it isnt installed. i will do that now and then give it a try. if it doesnt work, it doesnt matter, cause i already wrote them all to cd by just raring them all together. so i was able to keep the origional file name. thanks for your help.

ME! Posted November 20, 2002 Author Share Posted November 20, 2002 well, i tried nero. didnt work. its not the software, its the joliet system. it only allows 64 characters in a file name. sucks that i have to change the name of the rom, ohwell. ps-cinder, since you mentioned that nero never gave you problems with this sort of thing, maybe you know of a way to get around this perhaps? if not, its cool.

ken_cinder Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I use Nero 5.5.8 (I haven't updated sincec then, so don't know if there a newer version)I use relaxed ISO restrictions in my burns, allowing for more than 255 characters in a filename. Start a new compilation and click on the ISO tab, and check the box in the Relax ISO restrictions area called "Allow more than 255 characters in path" Even with Joliet checked off, I can add a file with more than 64 characters, Joliet is only a secondary volume descriptor for Win95/NT.So.............I don't uunderstand why a problem is presented regarding filename length. The secondary volume descriptor is in Joliet, telling Win95/NT that x file with 64 characters or less, is actually said file with more than 64 characters. Like in DOS, where you get a filename/directory that looks like 1~blah.exe if it's too long. Works fine for me. Dunno what to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME! Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 ok. i did everything you said. when the file has been written to cd, this is what i get : 100 man $ kid - maboroshi no teiou hen (j) [hm02].zip "is being written to cd as" 100_MAN__KID__MABOROSHI_N.zip i know i am being a pain in the arse, but i dont know whats going on with this thing. if you could help me further i would be forever grateful to you. i spent like 4 hours on this stupid thing and i am still no further along than when i started. i need to know the "exact" options that i need to select. i tried them all but maybe im missing something. i must be. but if you cant help me, i guess i understand.

alexis Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 i know what you are talking about i have the same prob but with internet files, i been trying and i guess this is the one that lets you more chars level 2 iso, mode 1, iso9660, uncheck joliet, and the two allow iso relax options checked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME! Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 level 2 iso, mode 1, iso9660, uncheck joliet, and the two allow iso relax options checked yep. thats exactly what i did. didnt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME! Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 ok. you know what cinder, forget about what i asked you to do. after thinking about it, it doesnt really matter. i guess if i want to view the correct rom name of a particular rom, all i have to do is open up the zip file and take a look, you know, without extracting it first. i guess i can live with that. the only thing that really bothered me was not being able to figure it out. but its cool. thanks for you help.
