CD Mage unable to open UMD ISO? (Resolved)

I've been following the Event Editing tutorial, trying to get a start on this concept and I've already run into an issue with opening the Image file in CD Mage B5.  If I open the PSX .bin file for it, it works just like in the tutorial, but opening the "FFT Image" as stated in the tutorial for a WotL file gets an error saying that file length doesn't match sector boundary when I attempt to open it in M2/2352 as stated.  I've tried it with all the alternative tracks, and only M1/2048 works, but it's got a completely different listing of files.  I found fftpack.bin in there, but again, couldn't do anything with it.

My question is, is it possible to open up a WotL file using the same methods and programs listed in Elric's tutorial here:
http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=8229.0

Or will I have to move to PSX modding to accomplish event editing?
I apologize if this is answered elsewhere; I looked around the forums a bit, but I didn't quite bring out the fine-toothed comb.
Thanks for taking the time to address my question!

I don't personally know what is involved with WotL, but no, any programs to alter regular CD images are not going to work with UMDs.

Love what you're seeing? https://supportus.ffhacktics.com/ 💜 it's really appreciated

Anything is possible as long as it is within the hardware's limits. (ie. disc space, RAM, Video RAM, processor, etc.)

<Raijinili> remember that? it was awful

Alright, thanks!  Believe it's time to swap over to PSX modding and make things easier on myself.

Just for the sake of answering the original question, UMDgen is what you'd use in lieu of CD Mage, but I'm not sure how much further that would successfully get you through the tutorial.

<@Elric> I agree to that as well

At the end of the day, are we not all trapped inside lemons?

Ah.  I have that program too, that I used for sprite editing.  I didn't realize that they accomplished the same things.  That's fine, I was being overly stubborn with my WotL modding, it's time to throw that towel in and go for the PSX version.  I've accomplished a lot of the game play balancing issues I wanted to approach already, so I can focus on the flavor mods now.

Thanks for the help, guys!
