Consider extracting to BIN/CUE instead of ISO
BUT from the IsoBuster docs:
Cue-sheet files have limitations !! They're nice to get the track layout of a session, but they do not support Multi-Session discs. IsoBuster however adds features to the cue-sheet file so that Multi-session discs are supported as well. These entries are preceded by "REM" so that other applications (that do not support Multi-session cuesheet files) do not complain. However, if you load these cue-sheet files with IsoBuster again, you get the full potential of these added features and you can see all sessions again properly.
Experiment
Created bin/cue image of enhanced audio disc with IsoBuster. Generated cue sheet (note that command that are preceded by REM are IsoBuster-specfic and not part of the standard cue syntax):
FILE "no.bin" BINARY
REM ORIGINAL MEDIA-TYPE: CD
REM SESSION 01 (*)
TRACK 01 AUDIO
ISRC USIR70200001
INDEX 01 00:00:00
REM LBA: 0
TRACK 02 AUDIO
ISRC USIR70200002
INDEX 01 02:10:53
REM LBA: 9803

TRACK 17 AUDIO
ISRC USIR70200017
INDEX 01 31:08:34
REM LBA: 140134
REM LEAD-OUT 33:48:70 (*)
REM SESSION 02 (*)
TRACK 18 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 36:20:70
REM LBA: 163570
REM (*) SESSION commands are not supported by all applications
REM Generated by IsoBuster 4.3.0.00 (https://www.isobuster.com)
Then opened the cue/bin file with cdEmu.
Result: this makes the audio session available, but not the data session. Also found this on the ImgBurn forum (from ImgBurn's author):
Virtual drive programs can't mount multisession BIN/CUE files so don't bother trying.
Also:
- AcetoneISO "can't mount correctly a multi-session image. Only the first track will be shown".
- ImgDrive supports multisession discs but only if they are in CCD, MDS or NRG formats, which are all proprietary formats.
- But this issue suggests that IsoBuster's extended bin / cue format should work in Cdemu (but it doesn't!). I've created a ticket here, so let's see what happens.
Looks like Cdemu never fixed it, ticket is still open.
