Question To: Megalexxx, Wayne... or anyone

Hi,
Thanks again for your responses. Well, everything is in the proper directory and I've already tried setting the path and including the full path to the wave files before. I tried those several times in several ways before making the 1st post. : |

Last night, I tried shortening the names of my tracks to just "01" "02" etc, in hope of fitting more into the command line, but that didn't work to well either. I tried to type everything in without doing it as a batch file just to see what kind of response I'd get. (if it would work, or be the same as the batch file).
Here's what it says:

C:\SBOOT>cdrecord -dev=2,0,0 speed=4 -multi -audio \cdda\01.wav \cdda\02.wav \cdda\03.wav \cdda\04.wav \cdda\05.wav \cdda\06.wav (Then I press enter. This is as much as I could put in the command line)
/SBOOT/CDRECORD.EXE No such file or directory. No read acess for '\cdda\01.wav'.

C:\SBOOT>

So, this response is the same as when I use my batch file. Keep in mind that cdrecord along with my "cdda" directory and everything else is in this "SBOOT" directory. I have used cdrecord just like this many times to burn many of my non-cdda games... but for some reason, when I try to it with cdda, it says it can't find cdrecord. Yes, I've even tried putting in the entire path and/or setting the path.
Right now, I can put in the same command:

C:\SBOOT>cdrecord -dev=2,0,0 speed=4 -multi -audio audio.raw

or

C:\SBOOT>cdrecord -dev=2,0,0 speed=4 -xa1 data.iso

or

C:\SBOOT>cdrecord -dev=2,0,0 speed=4 -multi -xa1 data.raw

and I can burn a game fine. Cdrecord is there... so, why is it not finding it when I add a cdda track?

This is why I asked what a good command line would be for a batch file. I followed Echelon's tutorial to the letter and it doesn't work. What does work?
One more thing... before I burn these cdda tracks, is it really neccessary to make 3 dummy 4-second wav files and the reall cdda music to start at the 4th wav track? This is what the tutorial says, but it doesn't give the correct way to do it, so I just did it another way, but I wonder about the purpose of it.

Thank you so much for your time. I really want to get moving with these cdda games. I've made pretty much everything else in my library self-boot and VGA compatible, now I'm stuck on these.

Thanks again,
Kevin
