I've posted this on a couple of other forums, that were probably not the best place to post, hence no help. So, here's a double-post. Any help is appreciated.

FYI - I'm trying to rip a GD-ROM demo collection. I really only want one file off of it. I've tried a host of tools, to no avail.
---------------
-dc-load-ip: works fine.

-bbrip v1.0/v1.1: connects fine, lists tracks, can't download. I get a couple of different error codes. I've tried going direct dc->pc (cross cable) and through a router (straight cable, of course). I also have no list of what the error codes mean.

-dreamrip: dc-tool is a pre-compiled version. The dreamrip.bat file uses the dctool -t option to set the IP of the target BBA. The author of dreamrip goes off on some tangent, talking about using a binary editor to change the IP address in the dc-tool binary. This seems very strange to me, since the program uses the switch. Anyways, using dreamrip I cannot connect.... I guess this is why I'm supposed to change the IP in the binary?

-dctool source (linux): The author referse to sh-elf, and BFDLIB, BFDINCLUDE, etc. I have no clue what these are, and am certain they're not on my system. It will not compile, presumably b/c I don't have these libs. I did a search, but came up empty handed.

-dctool (precompiled on linux): This seems to be my best bet. I've got it to connect, and it will get data if I use the command:
dctool-ip-linux -t 192.168.1.10 -d booty.bin -s 100000000

It demands that I use a size, which I assume it uses to know when to start/stop recieving data. If I put in something around 50 megs, it will download these into a bin file. If I try 500 megs, and there's not 500 megs worth of data on the GD-ROM, it will just hang. There are two problems with this solution. 1: I don't know the size of the GD-ROM. 2: I don't know how to extract the data from the bin image. I tried a few progs like MagicISO, but they don't work.

Questions: mainly what the problems are with my PC setup. Why BBRip doesn't work, and why dc-tool on Linux won't compile.

Of course, any other pointers are more than appreciated.

Since I'm really only wanting one video file (or I guess all video files would work) I'd love a way to get a file list from the GD-ROM, but I don't believe they work that way.

EDIT: I did search, but the best I found were people that didn't know how to use dc-load-ip or people tha weren't using cross cable.
