selfboot cdi -> selfbooting, dummied cdi

[shoany]

can anyone help out with this? i've got a selfbooting cdi image of rez that i need to dummyfile... i've got a dummyfile created but i have no idea how i'm supposed to get that into the image.

i think dummming only work on bin/cue files. you can use cdi2nero and dummy it and then convert it back to cdi...but i don't know how to do that..yet. still trying.

you can download cdmage and open up the cdi image with it, then you can save the image as a bin\cue file,then you can add the dummy and then burn the bin\cue image with nero or if you know another program that burns bin\cue images then you can use it

[spider0735]

....so what if you have a bin/cue file and extracted all the files in that bin/cue file to dummy it. once you have done that...how do you put them all into one file? does anyone know how to do this?

[Shark_812f]

you can use dir2boot to put your extracted files back into an cdi or nrg image, which is found on this webpage http://www.megagames.com/dc/dc_utils_disk.shtml

thanks a lot... i've got the cdi opened up, but "save boot image" is greyed out

[Shark_812f]

i downloaded the beta version from there site and i go to file and save as, then it wants you to type what you want the image to be called then press save, then it goes to save options, dont mess with anything, then just press ok

[shoany]

ah ok... i picked up the wrong version... BUT NOW... it saves the 330mb cdi into about 689kb worth of cue/bin

[Shark_812f]

thats weird, how many sessions does it have?

[shoany]

if this has any bearing, it's in 2 tracks

i dont know any other way to convert to a bin\cue image :(

as I recall first use CDIrip to get bin+cue out, then use autodummy to dummy the image (does not work if 1st track is audio) and then use bin2boot on the dummied .bin-file to get the your fixed CDI-image out.

[spider0735]

well when you dummy the file....there are usually more than one file in the dummy file. so you can't use bin2boot. i just got dir2dj and supposedly that will convert the dummy directory to discjuggler but had no luck. dir2dj is just no working. don't know what.
