I was wondering why MKPSXISO complains about files not being a multiple of 2048 bytes? The old BUILDCD program doesn't have a problem with it. I didn't see any option to bypass or ignore these warnings or errors.

BUILDCD might be patching them out to 2048 bytes automatically by adding nulls at the end of the file to match the sector length. Not entirely sure on that though.

I checked and in the ISOs that BUILDCD creates, the file size in the directory listing is not padded to a multiple of 2048. Ofcourse when the files are put into sectors a file can only start at the beginning of a sector so anything that is not a multiple of 2048 will waste some space at the end of the last sector it uses.

Basically I'm just wondering if MKPSXISO could easily be altered to do the same thing. If it weren't for that issue it does seem faster than building my ISO with the older tools. And I like that it supports FLAC for audio tracks.

I figured out what I was doing wrong. The XML I copy pasted together had the files' type as "mixed" instead of "data". After correcting that, no problems.

I've done some batch codes.
