I'm a very stupid person, in need of help...

[tenshadesofgrey]

First off, I'm totally new at ********ing, so I apologise to all you old hats out there if this all seems a bit simple, but I'm a little confused.

I've been trying to make a copy of MvsC2 and despite (I think) following all the guides to the letter, I have enough coasters to open a bar.

The game is packed as an Ace file of 170MB, within which is contained 9 files. The first 8 are 20MB, the last is 14. Each, when un-rar'd, contains an identical Cdi image of 255MB.

My understanding is that I should take the 001 file, un-rar it, take the Cdi image and burn it with DJ and with a dummy file to speed up loading times. The only thing is I can't get it to work.

What am I doing wrong?
Why would there be 9 files zipped if only needed the first? (this bit I'm sure I've screwed up)

Having read through the other threads I know this may seem very basic, but I am desperate to start beserker barraging again so any help would be gartefully received
