2. now you have all the files you need to check them and make sure that they are complete, when the games are release it has pretty much been a standard to release them in 20mb files, so make sure all of the file except the last one are 20mb
if you are checking in windows you will need to make sure you go under "view" and turn on "details", that way you can see the size of the files. you should see something like "filename.001 19,532...blah blah. make sure you have 19,532 for all the files except the last one.
if you are checking them in winrar then you will see "filename.001 20,000,000" once again check them all to make sure they are all 20mb except the last one.
(NOTE: this is just the standard, some times people will re rar the games to a diffrent size so don't be alarmed..if you have a game that says it is supposed to be 10 files and you have 14 files, but they are all at 15mb, then you will more than likely be ok)
now assuming you have all the files in one spot open up winrar and click on the first file( usually the extension is .rar or .01, hit the extract to button at the top, win rar will then asign a folder to the game so just hit ok. now they files will star being extracted to a folder with the same name as the files, winrar will usually tell you when something is wrong ..if you get a message say it needs a file to continue then that means you forgot to download a file and the extraction cant go on, or maybe you have the file and it's in a different folder or even the extension on it got changed. you can either leave winrar right where it is, go back and get the file, or find it on your comp.
once winrar is done you can go look inside the folder it made and you should see either a cue/bin file or a cdi file.
for cue/bin files you need cdrwin, open "record disk", "load cue sheet" find the cue in the folder the game is in and hit record.
if you have a cdi file then you need disk juggler 2.x
make sure you have and adaptek program installed and go get the aspi32 driver. once you have DJ open goto "file", "new" and choose "cd image to cd recorder". hit the source button, find the cdi file and load it. make sure your recorder is recognized by DJ, on the right put "write" in the action box" and put the recording speed down to 4x or below..(to be safe) hit the "advanced" tab and check these
mode: mode1
block: 2368 or 2332
offset:0
toc: cd-rom
now go back and burn it...you should turn off all other apps and anything that makes your hard drive work, you don't want to under run the buffer.
in 20 minutes or so you should have a working self boot game.
(NOTE: if you have a game you made from a cue/bin file then you will need to load the boot disk first, if you made the game from a cdi file DON'T load the boot disk, just put in in the dc and turn it on)
