Ok, enough with all the B.S. already! Who is BRAVE enough to answer THIS ONE???

I got the cable. I got the dreamcast. I got the game. I got all the junk from the Utilities menu. I read what little is available to rip a backup of my game. (BTW, why is it not made OBVIOUS that ripping takes about 20hours?) Anyhow, after meeting several disappointments, things were starting to look up when I was able to rip my game (ready 2 rumble round 2) to .iso.gz and .raw.gz (also, is the track04.raw.gz just a waste of time?)
Then I used winzip to extract the TRACK03.iso TRACK04.raw and TRACK05.iso (wow, you need about 10gigs to safely do this.)

Then I did EXTRACT.EXE track03.iso track05.iso 71350 (or something like that number.) Does this seem correct?

Either way, I then had about 900mb of files which I assume are the DC proprietary files and infact the actual game. One file, however was BOXING.RAT which was 758MB. This cannot be "shrunk" in any way. So I had to resort to the DC-CDR program. Clicked patch bin but no BOOT.BIN was created. I then copied the 1st_read.bin to the DATA directory. Clicked MAKE ISO, which it then created a DATA.ISO of 930MB. Then clicked PATCH ISO, which took ½ a second. (is that normal?) then I clicked BURN ISO, which after 10 minutes, got an error and the result was a coaster.

So my question is this, what do
I do from the point of having those huge files? I don't care if it is self bootable at this point. I have the UTOPIA CD. I understand that a lot of the experts in here are probably bombarded with newbies all day. So any input is obviously appreciated. If you don't want to answer because you feel I haven't done enough research, then could you provide a useful E N G L I S H language URL that may help me along the way? I don't want to give up on this.

Thanks in advance.\\
