Mini Guide to Alcohol 120%
______________________
About Alcohol 120%
______________________

Alcohol 120% is a program that allows Iso burning and making. This tool also comes with a virtual drive.

This is a trial version which loses all function after 30 days.

Making an Image
______________________

To make an Iso using Alcohol 120% put your psx game in your cd drive.
Then open up Alcohol, Select the Option Image Making Wizard.



Make sure to select the lowest speed possible 1x, even though you may be 4x read speed the lowest ensures
an optimum read, Also select the cd type you want as normal cd, this will give you all four options of what
type of iso you want.



Just select which type of format you want and you're away.
______________________
Burning an Image
______________________

To begin with you need to know which files Alcohol 120% will burn with, besides the *all files option (ignore unless
you're absolutly sure its a burnable format) Alcohol will burn the following

Media Descriptor Image File (*mds)
Blindread Image File (*bwt)
Clonecd Image File (*ccd)
Cue-sheets Image File (*cue)
DiscJuggler Image File (*cdi)
Instant CD/DVD Image File (*pdi)
Nero Image File (*nrg)
Standard Iso Image File (*iso)



There is an option to delete after recording, I personally wouldn't recommend it.



I'm presuming that most people will be burning in a psx game so I've put the datatype here as playstation,
It changes the settings on the way it burns But the thing that you should change is the speed, the lowest
here being 4x

Just Tested it in ePSXe and it works fine.

Working with Demonstration package

A bonus with the CDRWin Demonstration package is that the only limit is that its reduces the speed to minimum, which when burning isos is an advantage.

This is a different program to alcohol, as it burns in a different way, this is very good for people that have isos in multiple format, i.e. iso + mp3.

Still in progress.

I'll be looking at some things in more detail then others

Fairly pointless as all it unlocks is a faster writing speed, burning at slow speeds is better
