Blindwrite 5 image plugin for daemon tools - Club CD Freaks

**Andareed** · 07-10-2003

UPDATE
Updated to version 1.0.5
Changelog:
- Added code so that angles from bwa file are used if bwa file exists (thanks ghost_zero5)
- Removed layer fix (new blindwrite writes layer descriptors correctly)
- Fixed a bug with multi-file images
- Fixed problem with multi-track images and StartLBAOffset

Blindwrite will only read first peak of securom and this causes problems for certain discs (dual-layer Act of War). You can use bwa builder to make full bwa file. Copy that file (e.g., AOW.BWA) to same dir as b5t file (e.g., AOW.B5T) and mount. Angles will be taken from bwa file even if they are present in b5t file.

To install:
Unzip to "C:\program files\d-tools\plugins\images" (change to your relevant install directory). If you're overwriting an old version, you'll need to close the tray icon first.
Attached Files bw5mount.zip (3.5 KB, 4 views)

[Original Post
I've written a plugin to allow mounting of b5t files in daemon tools. You will need dtools 3.43 (download).

Please post feedback on success/failure with the plugin. If any errors occur during mounting, please attach b5t (~ 20 kb) file and indicate version of blindwrite image was made with.]

Alex T. · 31-10-2003

Ya, I have the same problem.

Antoine P · 01-11-2003

I have the same problem, if you need the B5T file let me know.
version BW 5.0.0.110

5 nov 2003
Pb solved with the last release of the plugin.

Many thanks to Andareed !

**Andareed** · 05-11-2003

@all: Please email problem b5t file to andareed@daemon-tools.cc.

MP2 TFoMP plays in Daemon tools virtual drive (useing the plugin and rmps emulation) when ripped by BW

**Andareed** · 08-11-2003

You should not need to enable rmps.

4wd · 12-11-2003

G'day, tried the plugin here and it works IF I use it on the *.B5I file.

If I use it on the *.B5T file it complains it's not a valid image.

Also, BW5 seems to cut DVD images into 2GB chunks and unfortunately the plugin seems to only mount the first chunk - the complete directory structure can be seen but I can only access files upto the end of the first 2GB chunk limit.

lapinou, any reason why BW5 cuts it into 2GB chunks?

If it's something to do with filesystem limits, (FAT32), then can a check be added for NTFS so as not to cut it up?

**Andareed** · 12-11-2003

Please email problem b5t file to andareed@daemon-tools.cc.

4wd · 12-11-2003

Oooppss!!!! Sorry, disregard my earlier post - just as I was about to send you the B5T file, I thought - I'll just check D-Tools...

Forgot to reinstall the bw5mount.dll after I Ghost-restored my system the other day....DUH!!!

The plugin works as expected, though I'd still like to know the reason for chopping up the BW image into 2GB chunks when it shouldn't be necessary.

Thanks for the plugin!!!

genjai · 12-11-2003

you'll get better response if you send an email with the question about bw5 spliting a dvd

Jimmykahn · 13-11-2003

I don't know why anyone else was having problems... I'm using this program to mount images of game CD-ROMS so I don't have to change discs every time I want to play a different game. For this purpose, the plug-in works perfectly. Thanks for creating it!

genjai · 13-11-2003

yeah Andareed, i forgot to thank you
Thanx

i do use this plugin to do some testing and other stuff

trananphong · 06-12-2003

I downloaded the plug-in for daemons tool 3.41, and I copied it into the folder c:\program files\d-tools\plugins\images.Therefore, I could mount the images that were made by the blindwrite 5.0.0.110. However, when I mounted a image (CD audio), It only played track 1. Very strange.
Help me, please.
Thank you very much.

Alex T. · 06-12-2003

Looks like you have to shut down Daemon Tools and restart it for the plugin to take effect, that is probably the problem everyone is having.

Hi, everybody,
I tried this one, on a B5I file and a B5T file. I can mount any .cue .bin files, but when I try these blindwrite formats, I get "Unable to open file. Unable to open file in kernel mode".
Is this a daemon problem (latest 341), a computer/OS (using Window XP pro) , or a B5I problem and how can I fix it?
thanx.

**Andareed** · 23-12-2003

If you receive this error on the b5i and b5t files, then the b5i file is in use by some other app. If you only get this on the b5t file, email me the b5t to andareed@daemon-tools.cc.

randyest · 03-03-2004

This sounds like a great plugin; I'd love to try it. But the only link in your post is to daemon tools 3.44, which I've installed, and it doesn't seem to do anything on B5I/B5T files.

Did I miss something? Please let me know where to find your plugin.

Thanks, and best regards,
Randy

randyest · 03-03-2004

nevermind, it is indeed in that d-tools download, I already had it, just needed a reboot.

thanks, nice.

BTW, I'm planning to make a rip of my (legal) bf1942 disc 2 so I don't have to keep the CD in the drive and (I hear, at least) make DC levels load fester.

D-Tools will support lots of formats, including bin/cue and blindwrite. Does anyone know which of these is faster and/or has lowest CPU overhead when mounted as a phantom drive?

Thanks in advance for any info you might have, theoretical or empircal.

superslon007 · 13-03-2004

Sorry for a newbe question,
I downloaded and installed Daemon tools 3.44 (latest at the time of this posting) and among formats it can open is b5t.
How do I open b5i?

regards,
Superslon

butcher75 · 11-04-2004

Hi!

I have a problem as described in the title, I downloaded the latest blindwrite and daemon-tools 3.46 also, and I can't mount b5t format. (This is a DVD-R image and I got "Invalid image file" error message.)
I noticed, that blindwrite made 2 GB chunk files, I don't know why, because my partition is NTFS.

Anybody has a same problem?

Regards,
butcher75

kid185 · 12-04-2004

why have the half of the posters in this thread, not read the first post, and tried the new plugin with DT 3.41...

Andareed posted on the very first post that you need at least version 3.43. DUH!!!!!!!

olobolo · 17-05-2004
