Amiga MakeCD Support Page

This is the support page for the latest public version of MakeCD. MakeCD is a program to write CDs.

: "MakeCD is the best CD writer software for the Amiga!"

The readers of the German printed Amiga magazine Amiga Plus rated MakeCD being the best CD writer software for the Amiga: MakeCD won the Amiga Plus Award 1997.

MakeCD 3.1a (with optional DAO support) is finished!

The English documentation for MakeCD 3.1 does not yet exist. Get the German documentation, if you speak German. We have included the English MakeCD 2.5 documentation in the archive.

And here is the MakeCD 3.1a archive. It already includes a CD_Toshiba.driver which fixes the previously broken CDDA reading, but this driver is also available separately here.

The workaround for fixation with cybppc.device older than V44.36 didn't work with all drives (Yamaha CDR200/400 didn't tell clearly when fixation was done, resulting in SCSI errors for following commands). If you have a recent cybppc.device then you can use these drivers instead of the ones included in the V3.1a archive and fixation will work again, because the workaround has been removed again.

Do you speak German? Then get the German catalog and documentation, too.

These catalogs are finished, too:
