I can rip 'em, but I can't burn 'em...

[killzusall]

Ok, heres the situation, I have a DC <--> PC Link cable, adn dreamrip and teraterm, i have used the instructions to make a backup of Crazy Taxi (its the only game ive managed to get Dreamrip to go all the way thru ripping, on other games it just stops), I have extracted the iso using the extract prog that comes with dreamrip and have no idea how to successfully burn it! I have tried using WinOnCD 3.7 to copy the files to the cd as a normal data track and using the Utopia Boot CD have tried to boot it, when loading it shows the reindeer in front of a spinning Crazy Taxi CD picture, but comes up all scrambled on the frequency select screen and when i select one it comes up with "ACIDATA ERR -1" and i have tried burning the game at several speeds 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x and 10x all having the same effect, i was told my cd writer was not the problem because if it was i wouldnt even get that (Sony CRX10x4x32x) , so do i need a different program or something, or do i need to do something else??

Is it a cdda game or not?

if its not , here:

1. Go to the record disc option ( first button on left )
2. Select Load Tracks
3. Click on the ADD button
4. Add the file called " Audio.raw " This file is found in the selfboot
toolkit software.
5. Click " ok "
6. make sure that the Open new session Box is checked.
7. " Start Recording "
8. After this is done leave the disc in the drive and proceed to the next
set of steps.

ok here is where it gets interesting , so pay close attention as you will
have to use dos for this part.

1. go into dos mode ( after you have done the steps above )
2. go into the selfboot directory ( which you should have after you install
the selfboot toolkit )
3. type in the following " cdrecord -scanbus "
4. This command will list all your cd-rom / cd-recorder drives in the
following format adress then name
5. the adress is shown as 3 numbers seperated by commas example 1,0,0 ,
write down the number for your cd-recorder.
6. Remeber this numbers as you will need it from now on for all games you
will burn in the future.
7. after you have the number do the following " cdrecord -dev=*,*,* -msinfo
(The stars should be replaced with the number for your burner as
mentioned in step 5 )
8. this will give you a number starting with 0,?????? <--- write this down
as well.
9. put all the game info ( the stuff you unzipped from the track03.iso.gz
file ) into a directory called c:\selfboot\data
10. copy the Ip.bin and 1st_read.bin from this new directory into the
selfboot directory
11. delete those two files from the data directory so they should now only
be in the selfboot directory
12. type " Binhack "
13. it is going to ask you for the bootbin file this files is 1st_read.bin
14. it will then ask you for the bootsector this file is the ip.bin
15. then it will as you for the msinfo this is the number from step 8 , only
enter the number after the comma not the zero
16. once this is done , copy only the 1st-read.bin file back to the data
directory leave the ip.bin alone for now.
17. next we make the image by the following command " mkisofs -C
0,??????? -V game name -l -o data.iso data
^step 8
^ whatever you want to call it

18. once this is done , we need to insert the ip.bin into this new file by
doing the following
19. type " ipins "
20. it will ask for bootsector this is the ip.bin file
21. it will ask for iso/image name this is " data.iso "
22. once this is done close your dos mode.
23. go back into cdrwin and choose the following " File backup and tools "
2nd choice from the right.
24. pick the option "record iso9660 image file "
25. go down to image file name and select data.iso in your selfboot
directory
26. make the disc type "CDROM/XA " AND MAKE THE MODE TYPE "MODE2"
27. MAKE SURE THAT ONLY FINALIZE SESSION AND WRITE POSTGAP ARE CHECKED AND
THAT NOTHING ELSE IS CHECKED.
28. Now click start.
29. Once this is done eject disc and try it out. Have fun

ive heard lots of people having problems with that game specifically. try something else. pro skater 2, soul calibur, vigilante 8, quake 3, shenmue and a few others went through dreamrip smoothly on the first try so try using one of those. also, don't use the macro when using dreamrip. just type okay then choose transfer|xmodem|recieve and check 1k and binary, then type the name of the track it tells you. this usually works when the macro wont
