Forgive my ignorance, but I still can't get it to work. I did what you said and it still won't work. That is if i did it right. I know its a lot of trouble but would you please post the exact steps on how to do it. I ripped the tracks with CDIRip and i got a .wav instead of an .raw. I didn't know if it would affect anything but i tried to use the .wav anyway, but it still didn't work. So far I've ripped the .cdi image i made with DJ and then used CDIRip to extract the audio and data tracks, the data track had any LBA of 11700. I then used isofix to correct the iso. I ripped the resulting fixed .iso with ISOBuster to my data directory in order to compile it with mkisofs. I burned the audio track that CDIRip gave me and then burned the data track as well, following Echelons guide. BTW - when i checked the audio track with -msinfo it still gives me the LBA of 11702. Does this conflict with the data tracks LBA of 11700? I don't know...

. The first time I did it, I didn't binhack the 1st_read.bin because I used the original audio track and bootfile.bin, or IP.bin, that CDIRip gave me, was I supposed to do this? The second time I burned (although it's really like the 15th time) it, I used the ip.bin and audio track that came with the selfboot kit as well as binhacking the 1st_read.bin to 11702 ,and it still didn't work; should I have hacked it to 11700? Right now I am at a loss and really don't know what I am doing wrong, PLEASE HELP ME......

.... I'm fixin' to give up on this game.... I would appreciate your help in any manner you may give it. I wish there was a guide on how to reburn this game so it would be easy to rip. Also, as I was trying to burn this game, I was not changing the music tracks at all. I am first trying to just get the darn thing to work without any alterations before I mess with the music files. I figure, if I can get it to work without any alterations, then I'll have a copy that is easily hacked. Am I wrong about this?
Thanks to anyone who even bothers to read this.....

I appreciate your time and any words you may have on the matter.... Thank YOU
