Making a full sized image is not possible with big games, because the ISO LBA spec stops at 99 minutes, which is less than a DC size. So until Chankast supports raw iso rips (assuming it ever gets another release in the first place) then that particular hope is just a pipe dream. You can't make an image anyway, because the image must be multi-session, and you need to burn that to a real CD and rip it back first, so you're still limited to 80 minutes any way you look at it.
There are various self boot and ripping tutorials that can tell you what you need to know. Some have misinformation. I could write one myself some day but I couldn't really be bothered. It's a lot of work. Use my GDDA Patcher from my website to get CDDA working in Shenmue. Also remember to hack the other files which need it.
On my website is the sorttxt tutorial.
If you have used Dreamrip and TeraTerm pro a number of times, you'll recognise a successful rip, it will have the same small number of characters down the bottom. If you have a screen full of junk, then it messed up and is incomplete. It's very finicky and you should leave your computer completely alone while ripping.
You can also tell because the total sector size of the iso files and CDDA files after ungzipping (2048 and 2352 respectively) should always be the same, 504150, taking into account 150 block pregaps for CDDA and things like that.
