Straight byte format.

Use RTool to byteflip any V64 format ROMs if you need to.

Thats not what I mean, I made 5 cds for someone I know and he can't even see the files on his cd64!!!! I have a z64 so I have no way of testing what format I should make the cd's in?

iso 9660
dos
joliet

Okay, I am guessing that you have put all the files into a folder. The CD64 cant read inside folders, so you have to write them all to the CD individually. Its no big deal, just takes a little longer. I had the same problem when I first got my CD64. Hope that helps.

I put them all in the root dir like he asked, the thing is I don't know what format the cd64 reads in... the iso format not the type of file.

iso9660 mode 1, with joliet if you want to see the long filenames in windows. dont use cd/xa. multisession is okay but not mixed mode or anything fancy.

Yeah, nothing fancy, close the disk, ISSO 9660 no multisession no long file names use 8.3 file names.
Also search here for cd64 caues every questions about it we already answered numerous times & you could have got your answer in the time you typed your question, now you have to wait days for it. sigh

R u sure it's a CD64 & not a Wildcard? CD64's read practically everything I put in it! The WC64 was a nightmare. I STILL can't write cd's for a friend of mine as it won't read ANY of them!!!!
