search for the text "cd001" (no quotes) in your ripped bin files. You can do this in Windows 2000 by clicking "Start" then "Search" then "Files and Folders",
then in the "look in" box, browse to the folder where your ripped data is.
In the "Files or Folders Name" box put in "*.BIN" (again no quotes) and in the "Containing Text" box, type in "cd001"

if it has "cd001" in it, then it's most likley a Bin file that needs to be cracked.
if the boot bin file is "0winceos.bin", then you need to run bincon on it and then edit the ip.bin to specify that it uses sega OS, you can up ipbin4win.

I'm pretty sure everyone should know how to do a file search like that in other Windows versions, but you should get the idea now.

Glad to see you're ripping problems are gone :)

Thankz for your help
Obviously I dont have any more problem with ripping game, but on the other hand I'm having lot of problem hacking the *.BIN file to make it work, that's why you still see some stupid post like this from me

I'm glad that youre still around giving XENA a hand helping out newbies
