Question about M vs C ripping

[emulsoin]

Is it normal for there to be only one iso fille after ripping? I've done it before and i always get raws in other games. Anyway i was wonderin if i could get some help with burning this one... it turns out the only one i have ripped and gotten to work was crazy taxi (which is supposeldy harder). this one wont. I get alot of pst files and stuff. It seems i have many more files than on most games but o well. Its also odd because my iso was the same as xenas zomb rev. yet the gzipped and the extracts are completely different sizes

Title : Marvel Vs Capacom USA
Game Type: Katana
Tracks: 1
Protection: No
Ripping time: 6 Hours
O/S - Windows Settings: Win 95J SE / TTrem / 115200 / hardware
REGION: USA NTSC
GZIP Size: track03.iso.gz About 260 mb
Track03.iso size 984mb
Extract track03.iso ,size 318mb ,329 files

my version was japanese not us,so the file and size different is normal

mvsc --- 139MB gzip,after extract 209MB, 761 files

Thanx xena, do You use dc-cdr to burn? i heard you are supposed to but i didn't see it on your site so maybe you use somethin else? well the problem is i try to burn and it always says single session 8x or whatever, but then after the countdown theres a bunch of garbage and it says could not burn multisession. why is this? lets say my burner isn't multi session compatible, is there any way to burn then? i downloaded your hacked cdrecord and ive tried changing each 298 to 300 in hex workshop. Nothin works!
please help me

Heres what happens, before the countdown it says : could not set real time priority.then after, theres some garbage and it says : can not open new session even on a blank cd!do i burn the boot session first or no?

cdrecord isnt compatible with your comp if your getting that message. It worked fine for me for like the first 10 or so games i made self-boot then stopped working. open cd-rwin and do it like that. basically, read the echelon self boot tutorial and do it the cdr-win way.

[emulsoin]

Thanks alot! Umm are these the only ways or is there some way to do it even if its not self boot?

[emulsoin]

Damn i tried that too and it wont let me burn the audio file because it 'wont accept the cue sheet' i think its because cdrwin doesnt accept raw as audio tracks.... can someone please give me a step by step guide on burning these rips????

[xena]

i only use echelon sb method step by step or DC Selfboot Toolkit v3.5"it's a batch file with many option"

[emulsoin]

YES!!! i finally did it! Turns out i needed to dummy the damn thing... which is quite hard when you cant make a bin cue out of a two session disc... so i followed the advise of a very wise person... heres what i did, its basically echelons but when they said it they were explaining 4 ways at once so 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
4*** i added the same audio many times so the thing would be easily dummied... it pushed the first read out far enough... which was called 0
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

Thank you xena and webber and cab1e and anyone else who helped me out!
