DC keeps re####ting with my selfbooting games? need a little help with this one

[chalbing]

k, how i have been able to rip the game, extract the ISO, hack it, and then mkisofs it back into a ISO and put the Ip.bin file into it with ipins. and i have copyed the audio.raw onto the cd as a audio track, the DC does not load up withe the audio player any more which means that i am getting closer right? now it loads up with the play cd, play audio, VMU and settings screen. so when i click on the play game option, the DC re####ts and brings me back to the same thing after the reboot session. so my question is, does binhack.exe change all the nessasary data in the 1st_read.bin and IP.bin file or is there something that i am missing. I know that the cd layout needs to be changed and because of the different layouts between the GD-rom and the CDrom. I have also gone through this tutorial on the xena page that is called "Get the GDROM files sort order & extract ripped ".ISO" (Using ISOFIX & ISOBUSTER)" link = ####://luna.spaceports.com/~selfboot/database/obs/fix/ip/adx2/lba2.htm
this talks about the command line "mkisofs -C 0,11702 -V DOA2 -l -sort sorttxt.txt -o data.iso data" and when i did this it gave me and error about an invalid sort. So i then stoped using this tutorial and went to the "Dreamcast Self-Boot Tutorial - (C) Echelon 2000!" and i went through all of those steps and got all the command lines to work and everything, and this is as far as i have gotton, I am so close that i can feel it. i just need some help, if someone can tell me if the sort file thing is the same as the binhack.exe or not? and if not and i do need to do a sort file then what is the correct command line for that, or i am just stupid and doing something wrong with the correct command line?
thanks so much guys, this is a lot of fun and i hope that i can help you guys out went i get all this done. I am a VB6 programmer and i am planning on making some Friendlier tools ones i get this to work.
