!!!!! BAD IMAGE FILE SOLUTIONS PART 1!!!!!!!

[BIG PAPA]

this is to help SOME of you guys who seem to have trouble when you burn an image file..
it seems a lot of you guys can burn a cdi image, however it doesn't work....
here are some things you can do to improve your burning percentage....a lot of you guys are claiming you've wasted over 20 cds..
um.... you could have damn near bought the game in the store or 2 from me...
the point is...lets use a little sense and not waste so many cds if it wont work after your third try....just stop.

now on with the show...
1. make sure you have the right amount of rar files, ( i have explained this process in my other step by step, if you have not read it, please do and post a reply at the bottom)
2. check to see if all the files are the right size.
A. this is very important because if one file is bad the whole thing is bad. sometimes when you download a file, it will be either too small(because the download got cut off), or too big (because, it resumed over)
B. the most important thing is....make sure you are using diskjuggler 2.x(a lot of you are trying to do this with 3.x, which is a no no...
if this happens then you need to find that file and re download it.
3. another very important thing...DONT USE CHEAP CDS!!!! i have spoke to some of you guys who say "it finished copying, but the game didn't load", i find out your using cheap cds and once you used a better brand the game worked(...hmmm)
A. don't use those cds that don't have a protective coating on the top, yeah yeah...they may look real nice all silver, but they suck shit. they don't reflect well and a lot of the time the reader goes right through them, plus if they get one little scratch on the top of that pretty silver coat..( that is smeared to death with your nasty finger prints)
the game or what ever you had on it wont work. you can usually tell if the dc can see something on the cd, but just can't do anything with it.
B. if you get the cd player screen when you put in the cd, then the dc sees something on the disk but cant process it. you can either change cd media or if you are not sure if it is self loading, try using the boot disk.
C. if you get the screen where the memory card is bouncing around, then the dc doesn't see anything at all...

Ok, how about this-- I managed to get a successful burn, but the disc wouldn't boot. It brought up the CD Player screen and it had all the audio tracks from the game in there (I could hit play and listen to them all and everything.) but that's it. What does this mean, that the bootable track isn't in the right spot, or what?

Alot of people have the problem that the game is to big for the cd, 80min cd, 750mb......and it's to big...they say you can download CDIfix 0.2 from http://cdirip.freeyellow.com and this reduces the sectors, so it fits, and works...is this true big papa? will it work.....I just wanna know before i go and do it...cause i alos have to buy a new cd burner, and i wanted to know before i went and did all that shit...

[BIG PAPA]

ok first we are getting somewhere...you got to the cd screen...make sure you are using cds that have a top coating on them or you will get that screen a lot...
or slow down your burning speed...and of course you are using DJ 2.x

as for the size of the image files... they should work unless you down loaded a file thart was bad make sure each file is the same size except the last one...usually they are 20,000,000 in win rar if one is bigger than that, but the rest are that size..you need to re download that specific file again....
