shrugs.. there are millions of guides to doing this and i usually hate people who ask questions like that but i guess you figured out how to copy and took the step of getting the cable and copying so your cool... anyway, you'll get a track03.iso.gz, track04.raw.gz, and track05.iso.gz (at least 90% of the time you'll get these 3 files). get winrar if you don't already have it and extract these files (the first and last anyway.. delete the raw file as it is just the "this disc was intended for the sega dreamcast" message. get the program extract.exe (should have come with dreamrip). get to a dos prompt and type extract track03.iso track05.iso xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the LBA number of the last track it ripped. if you didn't write this down, start ripping the same game again and pause the macro. now open the lid and close it and continue till you get to the last track. next to it there will be a 5 or 6 digit number... this is the lba) so anyway, it will extract all of the discs content to the directory. its a good idea at this point to move the iso files, extract program, and any files that were already there to another folder on your HD so you don't get them mixed up with the games files. Okay, now there will be a bunch of files there. get the echelon self boot toolkit and follow the instructions. ill sum up here anyway. put all files in C:\selfboot\data cut 1st_read.bin (your binary) and ip.bin (your bootstrap) and paste to C:\selfboot . now, if you have dc-cdr (came with the ripping toolkit... should get it) click data and hit burn audio session or whatever the first button says. then go into the options, change the name of the disc to whatever you want (the name of the game wouldn't be a bad idea) and hit get offset. then hit view offset. a window will give you a number like 45000 or 45002. close the little window and type what it gave you into the box in the settings. click ok or save to get out of the options and hit patch to patch the ip and 1st read. now move the 1st_read.bin into the data file with everything else (leave the ip for now). Now hit "make iso". it will make the iso (duh..hehe). then hit patch iso... it will patch the iso with your ip.bin bootstrap. then hit burn iso. it will burn (again with the "duh") then open your drive and close it again and look in my computer and see if it has the right name... if it does, the iso was created and burned successfully. so pop it and and put it in your dreamcast. if it works, then your good. if it only gets to the sXga screen, talk to Xena about copy protection... hope this at least gets you started. (note that most games are too big to fit on a cd... guides on how to downsample are available at xenas site). also, if anyone on the board is totally clueless on how to burn, send them to this post, as im not typing it again :P
