The error is "The file dist/Courseware.tar is missing from the CD-ROM" when trying to install it.
Same happens with the GettingStarted.tar, they're both there, but the final part of their names are cut.

I can't rename it due to the CDROM being read only.

I'm using MAME to emulate IRIX 5.3, and the original CDROM had the names complete.

Can anyone help me?

A CD-ROM in the ISO 9660 format cannot have names longer than 8 characters with a 3 character extension and cannot have lowercase letters in filenames. So if the CD-ROM is mounted with a command like

Code:

mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/rdsk/dks0d3vol /CDROM

it will appear like in your screenshot and the filenames will be corrupted.

UNIX systems use an extension to ISO called Rock Ridge to write UNIX data such as long case-sensitive file names and permissions on CD-ROMs. Instead of the above command, you would use one like

Code:

mount -t RockRidge -r /dev/rdsk/dks0d3vol /CDROM

and the files will have their correct names.

I am a bit surprised, though, that an Alias CD wasn't mastered as EFS. Are you sure you have the genuine Alias CD?

I got the CD from this link: https://archive.org/details/alias-3-4-oc...orking.tar

Is there any way to convert the 9660 ISO into a RockRidge or EPS format?

The linked file isn't a CD image at all. It's a .tar.gz containing what looks like a full, ready-to-go Alias installation, plus the dist files, along with a few other things. Don't treat it as a CD-ROM. Transfer the file to the IRIX machine (real or emulated), gunzip it, and extract the tar file to the filesystem. Don't try to treat it as a CD image.

All MAME posts go in General Emulation. Different rules as far an OS goes and it's extremely experimental. 99% of IRIX users aren't emulating.

I'm new to this site and IRIX in general(Yes I've joined a year ago but haven't been on the site until few days ago). I'll make my posts in "General Emulation" next time.

I don't know how to transfer files without putting it onto a CD-ROM using MAME.
