Help ripping files (tried bbrip, dreamrip,etc.)

[check_my_nutz]

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, I've tried that (exactly) and tried it with two different dc-load-ip versions. One that loads 0.0.0.0 as the IP, and I use ARP (as you stated) and also one that does not use arp, but loads 192.168.1.XX as the IP. Either way, I can ping my Dreamcast no problem, but when I run the command above, it says "*Error using com port" or something to that effect.

This is where I downloaded it

I followed the English and Japanese directions, but still couldn't get dreamrip to talk to my DC, although my PC will ping it just fine. I'm using WinXP, connecting through a router w/ straight cable, so it should be okay.

Any other ideas?

You are using the BBA adaptor right? If it's just the lan adaptor, it may not work correctly. I had many of the same problems as you, and I found out that the DC IPload needs to be configged for your specific setup using a hex editor. It has to be modified for your network info. Once I did that, everything went smooth with Dreamrip V 2.01

Good Luck

BTW if you figure out what the correct settings are for downsizing videos, I'd appreciate a message.

Yeah, I used a hex editor, and found where 000.000.000 is, and changed that to 192.168.1. Then found the next 000 and changed that to 10. When I load up dc-load-ip, it shows the IP address in hex, not a string. I'm still able to ping it though. Any comment on that?

I'm able to ping it still, but come to think of it, it's probably b/c the mac address is still ARPed.

I prefer to use bbrip 1.1. It has it's quirks, but has always worked well for me.
You said you get a list of tracks with it... if so, you're almost there.
Are you checking more than one data track to download at a time? If so, you'll get an error. It can only download one data track at a time, but it can download multiple audio tracks at once.
It may take several tries to download a track with bbrip. Sometimes you can check the track, specify a directory to download, but it will act like you did nothing. Just try it several times until it works. If it displays an error message, click reboot from the bbrip menu and then connect again.
You may have to try several times, but it's worth it.
