MacOS no longer has software to burn CDs/DVDs so the web page ( Burning the Haiku DVD | Haiku Project ) is out of date. Thankfully I have a 2015 iMac which still has CD/DVD burning software on it. I’ll have to boot it up and burn the Haiku iso from that to a CD or DVD.
The Haiku site is already recommending installing a third-party software for burning DVDs on MacOS, SimplyBurns: SimplyBurns download | SourceForge.net
Do you mean that this doesn’t work anymore with newer MacOS versions?

I don’t know but toast is on sale on roxio website., as in the other side burn is availible for download at version 3.1.8. Burning software is availible on mac os x even on modern versions. The bad thing goes with the sata drivers for the internal drives on the hackintosh which on modern versions of the os x system is not supported and not injected from the “hackintosh drivers” to use it.

Finder → Right click on ISO → Burn Image. Just did that last week on Mac Os 26 Tahoe. So burning has just move from the Disk Utility to Finder.

I have MacOS 15.7.3 (Sequoia) and SimplyBurns doesn’t run on this version. It won’t let you install it.
I’ve had Toast in the past but spending $60 to burn just a few (at the very most) CDs/DVDs seems like a lot though I might not have a choice. And that’s the sale price at over close to half off. Yes, it has a lot of features. But if I could get a version that just burns ISO images and files to CDs and DVDs without all the other stuff for around $30 I would jump at it. I’m still thinking about whether or not I want to spend $60 or $69 (for the Pro version)/
I still have ALL of my old iMacs going back to 1998. I’m probably just going to fire my 2012 iMac and burn files and ISO with that.

I’d suggest trying the recommendation by @egrath first as it doesn’t require any third-party software.
If that doesn’t work on your computer,maybe try Burn download | SourceForge.net ,another open-source and free utility that should do the same things as SimplyBurns,but maybe it works better for you.
So far I haven’t been able to make a bootable or even readable CD or DVD with MacOS Sequoia (15.7.3) the newest version of MacOS that is installable on my late 2019 27” iMac. The laptop I have has BeOS 5 installed on it. I’ve set the boot order in the BIOS to boot from CD/DVD then “floppy”, then the hard drive. I had a USB memory stick but I either can’t find where I put it or my cats found a new toy and moved it.
I just haven’t had time to pull my old iMac off the shelf and set it up (I have to find a place to put it) and then I can burn CDs/DVDs with that.
