disc layout | burn 3DO ISOs on a mac

Anybody knows how to burn 3DO ISOs on a mac?

I know Toast may open Nero images (.iso or .nrg); already did it with
ISO9660. However i don´t know very much about the 3DO file system.

If i try to open a 3DO .iso with Toast it asks me to specify:

SECTORS - 2048 Bytes? (=Mode 1)
PREGAP [x] sectors (150 should be 2 seconds?)
POSTGAP [x] sectors (no idea)
[ ] Scrambled (no idea)

I tried various settings but i didn´t get any cd working in my 3DO.
The images are known good for i burnt them on a friend´s PC...

Any help would greatly appreciated. I´m on mac os 9 btw.

Annoyingly, the ".iso" files floating around nowadays have little to
do with the ISO 9660 format.

For the settings listed above, I believe the only one you need to have
a value for is "Sectors" It should be 2048. If the program requires
an entry for the rest, just put in what's standard and it should work.

If the .iso comes with a .cue file, load that into your burner. If
the .iso doesn't have a .cue file and your program doesn't have any
trouble with "Bin/Cue Sets" then I suggest using a template .cue file
that looks like this:

FILE "" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2048
INDEX 01 00:00:00

It's just a text file with the .cue extension instead of .asc or .txt

Make a copy of the template and insert the filename (say
novastorm.iso) between the " marks and load the .cue into your burning
program.

FILE "novastrorm.iso" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2048
INDEX 01 00:00:00

Be sure to rename your copy to match the name of the .iso so they stay
together. ^_^
