Can anyone help me?

I tried to make a self boot SegaGen obsidian version with ROMs on one cd but I failed miserably...first of all cdrwin does not pick up my recorder and I had to do everything using cdrecord... I got the plain files for SegaGen and the self bootable version of lemecs loader that came in obs-lmsb.zip. I replaced all the necessary files.

I added audio.raw using these settings
cdrecord -dev=0,1,0 -multi -audio audio.raw speed=4

I found this thread here

http://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39045

in this website and used it as a guide as well as the echelon tutorial.

I binhacked the following bin files using 11702 because that’s the number msinfo gave me (cdrecord) after I burned the audio.raw

Ginreset.bin
Manifest.bin
Mde_us.bin
1st_read.bin

binhacked with ip.bin as read only for the first 3 and binhacked with ip.bin not read only for the 1st_read.bin...

I used mkisofs to make the iso (an iso called data.iso was created and was about 40mbs)

I ran ipn.exe and used the ip.bin that was created from 1st_read.bin after it was binhacked and used this ip.bin as the bootsector to the iso.

I burned it with these setting in cdrecord:
-dev=0,1,0 -xa1 -speed=1 data.iso

I put it in my dc...it boots up then I get a black screen.....
these are the contents in the SegaGen cd folder I created

E:
-0GDTEX.PVR
-1ST_READ.BIN
-GINRESET.BIN
-GINSU.INI
-GINXFER.BIN
-MAIN.DAT
-MANIFEST.BIN
-MDE_US.BIN
-ROMS (folder)
-TITLE.DAT

E:\ROMS
-HAIKEI.PVR
-MANATEE.DRV
-MOJI01.PVR
-OPTION.PVR
-STREAM.MLT
along with 20 games all bin.

please tell me if I’m missing something?....is there anyone out there that got this thing to work on there dreamcast? Do I need to create a dummy file...cause the tutorial never said I had to? Can anyone help me?
