1. 1. Overview

This document describes the external specifications of the CD builder "XBLD".

1.1 About XBLD

CD Builder XBLD is a tool for writing to CD-R discs and generating the files needed for CD emulation on virtual CD systems.

1.2 Features

(1) Fully upward compatible with VCDBUILD

Since it uses the same script grammar as VCDBUILD, you can use the script file for VCDBUILD as it is.
In addition, the same disk image file as VCDBUILD can be output, and writing to a CD-R disk and CD emulation can be performed in exactly the same way.

(2) Reduction of build time

Significantly reduced disk build work time compared to VCDBUILD.

(3) Troubleshooting and functional improvement / expansion

Corresponds to the failures seen in VCDBUILD. In addition, the functions have been improved and expanded.

(4) Cooperation with write-once system ADDCDW

On-the-fly writing can be performed in cooperation with the write-once system "ADDCDW".
On-the-fly writing does not require a disk image file, which saves time and hard disk space.
