After you have all the files from the .CDI on your hard drive, in the SELFBOOT\DATA directory (the DATA subdirectory within the SELFBOOT directory), you'll need to go to an MS-DOS window and go to the SELFBOOT directory (not DATA).
Now, you should already have MKISOFS.EXE in the SELFBOOT directory already and note that the -V RUSH2049 in the command line is actually the VOLUME LABEL of the CD you plan to make, so just keep it under 11 characters, ALPHANUMERIC and UNDERSCORES only, no spaces or other symbols.
Be sure to copy the 1st_READ.BIN and IP.BIN to the SELFBOOT directory and use BINHACK on them. It will prompt you for the name of the binary file (1ST_READ.BIN or whatever it's called), then it will prompt for the BOOT SECTOR (IP.BIN) and finally it will ask for the MSINFO VALUE (should be 0,0). Now copy the 1ST_READ.BIN back to the DATA directory and hold onto the IP.BIN for future use.
Now you'll type the following line (assuming the files from the .CDI are in the DATA directory):
mkisofs -C 0,0 -V WHATEVER -l -o data.iso data
This will create a file in the SELFBOOT directory called "DATA.ISO" from the files in the SELFBOOT\DATA directory and will have an OFFSET of "0,0". Be sure you run the IPINS.EXE file to patch the IP.BIN into the ISO. Now run BIN2BOOT (the newest one I mentioned earlier) using the command line in the NEW Dreamcast Machine tutorial.
This should give you a .CDI file that you can burn to your disc. It will take a good long while to burn (it will look like DJ is stuck a couple of times, but just let it sit for a while).
Note: Some of these steps may or may not be necessary with the BIN2BOOT program. The BINHACK and IPINS may be unnecessary because BIN2BOOT may automatically set the IP.BIN offset to 0,0, but it doesn't hurt to do it anyway.
