Converting backups to be used on new model dc

Ok, I have a new model dreamcast manufactored in november 2000 so I know it's not supposed to support cdrs. I tried to follow the directions below:
1.Rip the CD with DiscJuggler to a CDI file.
2.Go in to a DOS/Command Prompt and using CDIRip, rip the CDI file so that a .CUE and .BIN file are created.
3.You can delete the .CUE file. Download a free copy of ISOBuster from the net and extract the files to a directory from the .BIN file.
4.Using IPBIN4WIN, create an IP file which corresponds to the game. It normally needs to be pointing at the 1st_read.bin file, or perhaps a different file if it is a WinCE game. A WinCE game can be detecting by checking if it has a 'WinCE' directory on the CD. If so, make sure you take this in to account when creating the IP file.
5.Now you'll need a tool called 'mkisofs'. It is included in the selfboot toolkit. Create an ISO from the files you have extracted, and the IP.BIN in the root directory. Make sure you use an offset of 0,0 *NOT* 0,11700.
6.Then you'll need to use Xeal's amazing 'Bin2Boot' tool on the ISO, which creates a selfboot CDI which puts the game data BEFORE the audio boot data. A miracle. Now the game works. It's been tested on a real non-CDR boot DC (one of the first in the UK) and it works fine.
Copied and pasted from the Dreamcast Burning/Backup FAQ

I am able to get past step 3 but keep getting stuck after that on step 4. This is what i'm doing. I'm ripping the data from a backup cdr of selfbooting san francisco rush 2049 with dj 2.0 to get a cdi file. I then use cdirip to rip teh data to get a .cue, .iso, and a .wav file. i then use isobuster to extract all teh data. Then i get confused. When using ipbin4win, cant i use the same bin that was ripped from the cdr(ip.bin)? I did that and then ran mkisofs using example in the readme file. After taht is finished, i run bin2boot and it wont recognize the ip.bin file(i think. i did it last night and i cant remember exactly what it said).

Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? Is it something i'm doing in the previous steps that I need to know about? Or does someone have a more detailed guide of this? Everything works fine in my older dc so i know the game is fine. I'm using an hp 8200 series with jinxter ghost driver and burns everygame just fine. I just want to get around this newer model thing. It's driving me crazy. Thanks
