Utopia Boot CD for Anti-piracy DCs
 

Sorry, I know this issue's been visited a number of times already, in both the message board and the FAQ. I just need to cover something not already touched upon.

The FAQ says, in its instructions for creating such a disc, to:

"Extract the contents of the ISO using ISO Buster into a directory with the cdrecord-tools."

I've got ISOBuster, but I'm not quite sure how EXACTLY to go about extracting the files. I can open the ISO, but where to go from there I'm not quite sure. I think this is where I'm going wrong, because when it comes to using bin2boot on the BOOTCD.ISO, it tells me that I don't have IP.BIN. Or something along those lines, I can't quite remember. I guess that's because I'm not using ISOBuster properly, since that's the only part of the instructions I'm not quite sure on.

In fact, just for clarity - the FAQ asked me to get the *.CDI file for the Utopia BootCD, I got the Discjuggler version from the utilities section. Is that alright?

The FAQ also mentions on the last line of that section that:

"...you can download the *.CDI image bin2boot made here."

The link for it is dead, though. Does anyone actually have a copy of that modified image ready to burn? It'd save you giving me instructions on how to do it myself.

Thanks.

OK, thanks. That version of Bin2boot enabled me to write an IP.BIN for the *.cdi image. Seems I still did something wrong at some point, though. The disc didn't work.

No worries, though - a friends really old boot disc worked on it. Really strange, considering that the disc's at least a couple of years old, and that workaround for anti-piracy DC's wasn't required until Nov 2000. So I've copied that and all is now fine.

Thanks anyway!
