i just downloaded ISO self boot hacker. i open up the main file and it says enter boot sector, then enter ISO. i do not know what to put for boot sector. after i enter this shit it says successfully hacked, is that what i need to do?

I could'nt figure out what to put as the boot sector either. It seems like a very simple problem we both have.

go.to my page to see the instruction for DC Selfboot Toolkit v3.5 at http://go.to/selfboot

Thanks Xena,

I was on your site and found the following about Crazy Taxi. The following is not clear to me and hope you can give me some clues.

"How to make Crazy Taxi -Katana selfboot?"
Insert non-selfbootable DC Game cd in your cdrom drive,
.....
Create a new 400mb dummy file name de dummy file at 0.0 and place it in c:\selfboot\data .....

Sorry but I'm a Newbie. This line is really unclear to me! HOW do I create this dummy and what do you mean by "name the dummy file at 0.0" ? Can you specify?

Also, in the Gundam 0079 selfboot tutorial, I don't understand how to do the following. Pls provide more detailed instructions!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Serach
A6 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 43 44 30 30 31
change it to
5C 2E 00 00 01 00 00 00 43 44 30 30 31

* 5A2E=11700 *
* 5C2E=11702 *
which -msinfo numbers depend on your CDRecoder & Software

If you new to UtlraEdit32, You can download the Patch
Gundam0079 -msinfo 11700 Patch <== click to download
Gundam0079 -msinfo 11702 Patch <== click to download

Which patch should I choose ?! And HOW do I get the -msinfo numbers that you've mentioned?! Sorry but this is very unclear to us Newbies and I hope you can explain it more clearly.
Thanks in advance!

selfboot toolkit already inculded a dummy utily name "da.exe"
u can click one of the "make xxxmb dummy.bat" to create the dummy files which locate in HD
C:\SELFBOOT\DUMMY\

1)click make 400mb dummy.bat,
then u'll see a 400mb dummy file name "0.0" appear in c:\selfboot\dummy

2) move the file "0.0" in hd c:\selfboot\data

Here's how get the msinfo number

1) cdrecord -dev=x,y,z-multi -audio audio.raw speed=4
*x,y,z is your cdrwriter scsi-bus-id num "

2)GetMsinfo -dev=x,y,z -msinfo
then u'll saw a num appear on dos screen like"011700" or "011702"

*x,y,z is your cdrwriter scsi-bus-id num "

if u still don't know how to get msinfo num,try 11700 patch first,if the game resert after s**a licensed try 11702 patch :)
