CCD files work flawlessly. That's what I usually do.

The ISO doesn't like multi-track disks (thus the audio track might be lost), BIN can include multi-track info and also contains the info about exact data location on the disk which makes it more accurate but slightly larger plus it can hold protection data. That's all because it is the exact binary copy of the disk where ISO 'just' contains files and folders and their hierarchy in a format ready to be written to a disk. CCD (*.img + *.sub + *.ccd) is a version of BIN format.

I personally prefer ISO where it works, and a BIN+CUE combination for everything else.

Wow...

I've learned something today :-) I always thought ISO and Full Game was pretty much the same.

You though ISOs were bigger because they had a longer README? :wink:

A ReadMe CAN be a big file, Grades!

I would also prefer the iso, because you get all important datas on this way. With downloadable Games and different Abandonware i know the problem that you miss some sound files or movie datas, too often.
