- Here are some additional informations for installing and use:
-
- I. Edit the config.h and the Makefile !
-
- II. Several people had 'snowy' images with v0.1 and v0.2.
- This happens when the machine handles the standard
- type char unsigned. Therefore the datatype sBYTE
- was introduced as 'signed char'. If your compiler
- doesn't understand this, change sBYTE to such a datatype
- of your compiler or use a commandlineoption like
- -DsBYTE=char .
-
- III. Not every image contains all resolutions (especially images
- from demo disks). You can't extract resolutions which are
- not contained.
-
- IV. Some cdrom drives read more than the data sectors of the
- PhotoCD files. They read additional sector headers etc.
- In this case to have to write a little conversion tool.
-
- E.g.: Sony NEWS, model NWS-3720
- Write a simple filter program, which takes the file,
- cuts in slices of 0x920 size, takes out 0x800 data
- with offset 8 of each slice and write them out in a new file.
-
-
- V. There are some problems when compiling for MS-DOS or OS/2.
- I don't like this, i don't have this and i don't use this.
- Several people sent mail with tricks for compiling.
- The important things are:
- - Use the gcc compiler and
-
- - change the fopen parameters from "w" to "wb" and from "r" to "rb".
- - or use the binmode.o routines.
-
- VI. On a Sun Workstation you can mount the Photo-CD as a high-sierra
- file system with the command
- mount -r -t hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom
