hehe, whos the observant one...

Given that theres a considerable amount of overlap with the offsets and that 1396-2048 are also reserved for later use I'd concur with your assessment.

So, why you wanting to know about the CDROM file system then?

I'm writing a C# library for working with ISO files. When it's done, I'm going to use it to write an MSBuild/XNABuild component to create an ISO file at the end of the MC2 build pipeline...

Neat idea.

I've not looked into XNABuild yet, but I presume it just creates a bunch of files for you to burn to DVD/CD manually?

Given the copy-protection stuff that some games use(d), I'm surprised there isn't something similar to what you describe...

No, it ultimately has nothing to do with CDs/DVDs - it's just a build system. In truth it's a suite of specialised MSBuild tasks, with a couple of added-on tools for dependency management, all targetted at assets (rather than source code).

It's just that I don't see why it shouldn't have build tasks for creating installer packages and building ISOs, so I'm creating them - not least because I want to do some work on autorun and zero-install with MC2, and I kinda need to be working from disc images for that.
