Rialto 1.5. Free, open source, Windows

Rialto Disc Maker

Point it at a game folder. Out comes a disc.

Fill in a title, pick the folder, click Build. Rialto writes a real installer, a disc menu with your art and music, and an ISO you can write. Bring your own key. It is the same tool we use on our own bench, and it is yours.

Get Rialto 1.5 on GitHub

Rialto.exe and menu.exe. Keep them in one folder. MIT licence.

The Rialto 1.5 window: three steps to a disc, artwork rows, Build Game Installer, and a Disc Extras panel.

How it goes

Three things, then a disc.

  • 1. Pick the folder

    Your finished Windows build, as it is. Rialto finds the game's exe. It keeps its own name.

  • 2. Fill in the form

    Title, background, icon, a soundtrack or bonus folder if you have one. Preview the menu before you write anything.

  • 3. Build

    An installer, the menu, and a ready-to-write ISO. Write it with any tool, or send it to a duplicator.

In detail

  • Bring your own key

    The disc wears your name.

    Configure Signing, then tick Remove WTI Branding. Azure Artifact Signing is about $10 a month. Your files stay on your PC. Without a key the installer is unsigned and Windows says so.

  • More than one game on a disc

    A Choose Your Game screen right on the menu.

    Double features, demo collections, anthologies.

  • Preview before you write

    Your real disc menu, in seconds.

    Click around, then build when it feels right.

    A Rialto disc menu for a game called Rutted: Play Game, Bonus Content, language, and the We The Indies bird.
  • The disc you asked for

    CD, DVD, Blu-ray, M-DISC.

    The capacity check names the disc your build fits. Files over 4 GB switch the disc to UDF.

    Rialto 1.5 Target Media list: CD, DVD, Blu-ray, M-DISC, and artwork browse rows.
  • An installer in their language

    Pick it on the first screen.

    Inno Setup, Start Menu, uninstall. The list is long on purpose.

    The installer language list Rialto writes, English selected at the top.
  • USB sticks too

    Tick one box.

    A Start Here file does the job autorun cannot.

  • Multi-disc sets

    Too big for one disc?

    Disc 1, Disc 2, Disc 3, split for you. Players swap when Setup asks.

  • Add to Steam

    After install, one click.

    Puts the game in a player's Steam library, art and all.

What it will not do

  • Sign for you

    Signing under your own name goes through Azure Artifact Signing, about $10 a month, and your files never leave your PC. Without it the installer is unsigned and Windows says so.

  • Need the internet to play

    A disc this window writes plays without an account or a server. Updates, when they exist, are a choice from the disc menu later.
