Can't convert Utopia "Wacky Races" to Self Boot format

[maverick-uk]

I recentley came across a non self-boot version of Wacky Racers, in the past I have used Echelons tutorial to convert these to self-booting.

I have succesfully achieved this in the past but I can't get Wacky Races to work.

The CD reports as having 700mb of data, yet when I copy all files from it I only get around 430mb, it doesn't have CDDA Audio as far as I am aware.

If I attempt to record this 430mb of Data as a second session on a self boot CD the game appears to start booting, then switches to the DC Menu screen.

Can anybody help?

You're absolutely right. I've done the same thing with the same results.

Also, copying those files to a MODE-2, CDXA disc will create a NON-BOOT disc (I had to since the original disc wouldn't burn properly), but apparently it used a unique dummying method because all of the voice files are out of sync on the disc with the smaller total filesize.

This might seem more work than it is good, but after you get the hang of it it's not bad at all. Depending on the file format, I would convert it to a BIN file, however it takes to get it there.

I then take the bin and use "bin2boot" to make it self bootable... THEN take that bin and either burn it using CDRWIN, OR if that doesnt work... I convert it to ISO then to CDI and burn with DJ3.

I know it sound repetitive, but that is how I got Wacky Races to work...
