Hey all....I'm new to this (I guess everybody is), and I am wanting to see what is in the ISO's that are being released. You can't see them with Isobuster, or CDMage. Maybe there is a utility out there somewhere for this.... It's killing me to know what is in those images, and what we can edit in/out of them, plus maybe if I can find out what is in them, there might be alternative ways of booting them up-who knows.
Thanks for any replys.

You probably need a DVD-RAM drive to view the DVD, or a reader that supports Dual layers.

from what i've heard, the isos have a file format that is unreadable in windows, so it doesnt matter what kind of drive you have.

i would imagine the only utility would be what these groups are using to rip them.

I have a Que! DVD-R/DVD-Ram drive, and it doesn't read the originals, nor does it read the backups (CDR, CDRW, DVDR, or DVDRW) so I guess we might have to hope for some DOS program to come out (maybe) or something that isn't windows based, I dunno.

the files can be read obviously .... with all the releases that riot is fitting to cd, you know they are not using a hex editor........
