Ok ive now ordered 60 more blank cds which should turn up in a day or two, ive got 4 left spare till then.
I hate quiting so im gonna keep going till ive waisted 10cds.
Looking in the .bin files with a hex editor, i found the following references to CD001:
1st_read.bin = 1 Instance of CD001
1st- A600000001000000
- Now then the last cd i burnt i never modified the 1st_read.bin assumming it would boot from 45000lba, however i found this bit of info:
A600 reversed = A6 - A6 = 0 ...for non-selfboot
5A2E reversed = 2E5A - A6 = 2DB4 or 11700
5C2E reversed = 2E5C - A6 = 2DB6 or 11702
6EB0 reversed = B06E - A6 = AFC8 or 45000
Which means it didnt work last time because it was looking for the wrong lba or something. (btw i know nothing about the mathematics or whatever above so im guessin here
)
2_DP.bin = 2 Instances of CD001
1st- 6EB0000001000000
2nd- 6EB0000001000000
So this is set for booting at 45000lba, i think.
This is where things either arent important or im stuck, im assumming now to selfboot this for 45000lba i still need to binhack the 1st_read.bin to 45000, leave the 2_DP.bin alone.
However this was the code i found in the other .bin files, the writing below the hex values are the text thats next to the CD001.
SG_DPLDR.bin = 1 Instances of CD001
4498008C4C98008C
CD001.2_DP.BIN;1
Maigo.bin = 1 Instances of CD001
4C9C008C549C008C
CD001.˙˙SEGA SEG
AKATANA
I was just wondering if these values mean anything to you or should i just leave these files alone?
I hope you can understand that, and answer
