Shenmue Help.

I have recently dled the US rip of Shenmue made by Kalisto. I have a mitsumi burner that can't burn self boot games and Shenmue is self boot.
I follow the instructions on making a self boot image into non-self boot version and burn. However, when i load up game with boot disc , it loads to 97% and freezes. I repeated all steps once more and burn.. same result. It's weird cuz i made many self-boot images into nonself boot version and they burned fine, but not Shenmue. Does the non-self boot method work on shenmue? and if not, any way i could burn the CDI self boot image with my crappy mitsumi burner? help pleaze.. i dl 1.4GB all on 56k modem....
