MakeCD error message

ral-clan · 24 April 2011, 02:58

Although I only use it every once in a while, MakeCD has always worked well with me under WinUAE (fast, stable). However, today when trying to use it, it would not recognize the CD-R drive. When I tried to "update" the status of the disc in the drive (necessary before burning) I got the following error message.

Target drive, CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI:
CD info read failed
(CMD MODE_SENSE_10 >= Sense Key/Code: $f/$ff)

Never seen this one before.

I'm using the latest MakeCD (ver. 3.2d beta 12) and WinUAE 2.3.1.
System is a Windows XP SP3 box with 3gigs of RAM and an LG DVD/CD burner that always worked with WinUAE and MakeCD in the past. Drive still burns fine on the PC side.

Funny thing is that the CD/DVD drive works fine in WinUAE under AmigaOS (ver 3.9). I can see the files and read them etc.

Not sure where whether it is worth uploading an error log file, as WinUAE doesn't complain...only MakeCD.

The only change to my WinUAE "virtual Amiga" is that I have updated WinUAE several times as new releases were distributed. As I said, it has worked for me in the past as recently as six months ago.

If anyone else out there is using WinUAE and MakeCD successfully, perhaps you could send me your config file so I can see if anything got messed up in mine.

Here is my config file: http://www3.sympatico.ca/clarke-sant...TG_problem.uae

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Should work fine.

Important options are to enable scsi emulation in misc settings, uaescsi.device in expansion settings and tell makecd to use uaescsi.device.

What are you trying to do?

SCSI emulation don't support any recordable CD/DVD features.

Since when is that? I am sure I successfully wrote CDs with MakeCD in WinUAE already.

There are 2 "SCSI emulations".

- New "real" SCSI emulation (which is the default now)
- Original passthrough SCSI emulation (SPTI and others)

"Real" emulates all commands internally, handles CDA digitally, no need for cables etc.. Supports only CDROM and CDA features.

Passthrough passes all SCSI commands directly to physical drive. This is needed if you want to access any advanced SCSI features (including recordable stuff).

These are enabled. Error still persists.

I am trying to burn a real audio CD and data CD. I have done this several times with WinUAE and MakeCD in the past.

Changing the emulation setting to "STPI + SCSI SCAN" solved this issue (I can now burn to real CD's without an error message from MakeCD.

Thanks!

Has anyone had any success with a pioneer dvd rw? Makecd sees the drive but won't write to it.

Thanks, Thomas and Toni, for bringing that to everyone's attention.

Eventually, I would have been fooled by that "development" too, otherwise.
