First of all, kudos for the offer! I can understand the incomplete rip, since IIRC once a computer would see a data session, it would ignore anything else (like audio tracks).

I don't know for certain, but I think you would want to find software that can generate BIN/CUE files. You would end up with a single CUE file listing the multiple tracks of the disc (data, audio, etc.), and a set of BIN files.

Maybe https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56493 would have the answer? If not, the Internet Archive has their own forums at https://archive.org/iathreads/forums.php

Best of luck!

I think that bin+cue had trouble with mixed mode disks. This was my experience many, many years ago. It may have changed.

Back in the day, the format that worked for me (for mixed mode) was CloneCD's CCD+IMG+SUB. Looks like CloneCD is still maintained and for sell. www.redfox.bz/en/clonecd.html
