I don't know...
Did you try CDRWin ?
i burnt the 4 second audio track with cdrwin but now i need to find out the lba for it!
ok i worked out how to find the lba with cdrwin and it's telling me it's 299 does that sound right??
I want to know that too. :D

When using cdrecord make sure you don't have any SCSI/ virtual cdroms installed (like daemon tools, nero image drive, etc).
i have nero installed but i dont think i have the virtual drive installed!
the weird thing is it will scan my scsi buses and tell me what number my cd writer is on but anything else i try to get cdrecord to do it locks up my pc!

It seems that cdrecord doesn't like scsi at all :(

I've got a scsi burner, and cdrecord works perfectly...
I had problems with Daemons Tools => it locked my PC too.
i did a fresh install last week so daemon tools has not been reinstalled yet!
i have got alcohol 120% installed and that has a virtual drive but i did not install that until after cdrecord locked my pc a few times,also my cd writer is atapi but i meant when cdrecord does the scan for drives
this is doing my head in as i really want a selfboot copy of segagen with the lemec loader!

Why don't you use bin2boot?
can u explain how as i'm trying to follow the answers on this thread here http://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39045&perpage=15&pagenumber=1
as they found a way to selfboot the lemec loader by binhacking 4 files instead of 1!

ok, i'll repeat what's already posted there.
Binhack 1st_read.bin to 0
then make ip.bin read only and binhack ginreset.bin, manifest.bin and mde_us.bin to 0 as well.
run bin2boot

djgarf,
if you burn a 4 second audio track, your lba
is 11700 or 11702.
(depends on software/burner)
as described in any faq.
if you know which one is right, you never ever
have to care about this for non cdda games.
by the way,
4 seconds need 300 sectors, no matter what kind of
track you use

on the thread i posted above it says to binhack to 11700 or 11702 and that bin2boot will not work with lemec loader!
all i need to know is how to find the lba after i burnt the 4 second audio track without using cdrecord
i just burnt another disk with the 4 second audio track and cdrwin tells me the lba is 299 but it must be telling me the sector size and not the lba!

bin2boot does work with the lemec loader as i burned a cd using that method and it worked just fine.
then how do i make the iso to run through bin2boot because i havent got the lba numbers to enter into mkisofs

Use CDRWin

the lba you should enter is 0, because before making the image you should binhack the bins to 0 (zero).
e.g.
mkisofs -C 0,0 -V Segagen -l -o Segagen.iso Segagen_Files
bin2boot Segagen.iso
[edit]
If you want to use CdrWin, binhack everything to 11700. Thats usually the lba everyone gets after they've burned the first audio session with CdrWin.

Nop :
_ binhack everything to 0
_ use CDRWin to build a 9660 Iso image
_ use Bin2bin on this image
You MUSN'T binhack to 11700 if you use Bin2Boot. In fact, Bin2boot hacks ONLY 1st read file to 0 (it can't guess which other files it needs to hack). If some other files need to be hacked, you have to do it manually, using a LBA = 0.
So, if there's only 1 file to hack, don't even bother to binhack it before using Bin2Boot.
i binhacked everything to 0,made the iso with mkisofs,used bin2boot on the iso,burnt the image and this time it does not even tell me there is no memory card all i get is the obsidian screen and then a black screen!
on my other attempts i got the screen telling me i dont have a memory card in then black!
i'm beginning to think i cant do this and that is really annoying

I know he shouldn't binhack to 11700 if he decides to use bin2boot... Was I that unclear.
When i said binhack to 11700 i wasn't referring to bin2boot method.
What's your email djgarf, i'll see if i can send you the one i've made.
