CD image extension unknown (left blank) Please Help!

[samsunnyuk]

Hi, I downloaded this:

Dc Dreamcast Worms Armaggeddon Multilanguage No Selfboot Cdrwin Image-Kalisto.ace

from eMule, and I dont know how to burn it.

In the ACE archive there is a file which has been split up, so I use "HJ-Join" to join it back up. it then makes the complete file, but with no extension.

Because of this, I dont know what format the CD image is. I have tried the Nero and DiskJuggler file extensions (NRG and CDI) but Alcohol 120% says that its an invalid disk format, or something. I also have the same problem with:

-LEMAIRE- DC.-.Dreamcast.-.Virtual.On.with.CDDA.(e-voot).-.Shared.by.ElGatoAzul.rar

which was ripped by Echolen. Could someone please help me with this?!?!? Thankyou for your time

Did u tried with ISO/BIN extension?

[samsunnyuk]

Thanks for you interest DrEaMpLaY. However I have tried it and it is not an ISO file, but if it is a bin, what do I do with a bin file?
By the way, the second Cd Image i mentioned (Virtual On) has a txt file with it, claiming it is a CDI file. I have uploaded this txt file if you would like to view it. Please click here (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/brian.jardine/e.voot.txt)

Go to my site (link is near) and get from downloads two ISO tools: ISO Buster and CDmage - try to open ISOs with them using every type of iso extension.

ps. link for txt file is not working for me.

Right i downloaded the tools you said, and i went to open the worms image file as an ISO in IsoBuster and it said

"The Primary Volume Descriptor (PVD) is unreadable.
Read Error at address: 16
Device reported Error: 05/64/01"

then i clicked ok, and it opened it as a 1 Track image. Should i try all extensions that IsoBuster deals with?

If by "split" you mean it's in 001, 002 files, all of the same size, then I've got news for you - those are RARs.

[samsunnyuk]

OMG! Thankyou! I didnt realise this. I just went to open with... WinRAR and it worked! When i first saw the files windows suggested a program (HJ-Join) so I assumed it had2 be done with that. I suppose i could have opened the file HJ-Join made in WinRAR aswel eh.?-

Ah it looks like ive just run into another problem :mad:

After unRARed > Click for screenshot (http://www.2and2.net/Uploads/Images/screen1.JPG) (unpack.exe made the highlighted files)

what do i do with this now? use bin2boot? if so could someone elaberate on that please :o

[samsunnyuk]

OK Ive worked it out now, thanks for both your help. I realised that the .CUE file includes "queing" the sound files aswel (i opened it in note pad). Would I be able to lower the quality of the sound files, or even just one of them, so that the whole game will fit onto a regular CD-R. Because at the moment it comes in at 802mb :(

CD Audio/BIN format are both in RAW 2352 bytes/sector, so it would appear larger than 700 MB (2048 bytes/sector).

802/2353 * 2048 = 698 MB, a perfect fit.
