I don't even want to mention that I've used Track merge. That is not even needed, Track merge is only needed when you have more then 1 audio track. [Am I correct about this?]

So now, I tried this CDIBurner thing i found in the DCCopyworld util section, and tried it.

It looked good. It looks like it's gonna solve my problem with not being able to burn these audio + data images.

This CDI Burner basically is just a GUI that utilizes the Dos CDIRip and the Dos CDRecord util. It looks good because the batch file actually contains a parameter to write the Audio track at multi session first.
then ends with a Data track witha 1x mode. [end the CD.]

So then I thought everything is gonna work great and stuff so I poped it in to my reader and see what's up. Nothing came up. But this time it's actually loading like crazy. So I interuppted the read and pull out the cd to try it on my DC. This time, it would try to read the CD like crazy. But still, nothing comes up. It was reading CD so mad that it sounds like it was gonna explode. So I just shut it down and threw away another coaster.

I wanted to try WinonCD but I cannot get my hands on that software. But I doubt that it will work for me anyways.

I then tried downloading Fireburner. But for some reason it won't see my Yamaha CDR100. Probably becasue my burner is too old or it's a scsi and it doesn't know how to reconize it. [which I really doubt.]

So far, I've tried burning 3 copies of Silent scope and 17 copies of King of fighters. No luck. All went to my moutain of coasters.

The only sucess I have is the Boot CD.

I've tried to take one of my selfboot games into my reader and make an image out of it. Then I try to burn it with DJ2.0. It gave me the same freaking error about the dummy blocks added crap.

then I tried to take the Boot disc I made and put it into my reader and make an image out of that. That turn out to be fine actually.

Reason for having so much coasters is that I've tried it in different modes... like Mode1, Mode2, 2048, 3668, 3652... whatever's in the misc section... I've tried.... I actually followed big papa's guide on the settings. Nothing worked, that's why I ended up with so much coasters.

Sorry about the huge post. But, like I said I'm really devastated.

If you've actually read all the way down here. Thanks for caring about my problem. Really I appreciate your help.

But I'm really bummed out.... I've spent so much time on this... I would just go out and buy an other CDR... but I've already paid for this one.... it was used, it works perfectly with other things. And I purchased a nice ASUS scsi card just for this CDR. I mean, I should go out and buy another IDE CDR???? .... I really wish... but I really not in a budget to waste money like that anymore... I have far too many bills to pay and plus rent and the payment on my car...... I just can't afford to shell out another few hundred dollar for a burner. Atleast not for a while....
