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.

This is a 2004 CD after all...

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.

by HomeStarRunnerTron - 2013, February 12 - 8:30am

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.
