Stuck at the end of the BBA process - Help me Xena or anyone?

[drainbramage]

I've had good luck using GDHACK, its all listed in the ripping guide2.txt that I grabbed somewhere... But I wouldn't recommend using CDR-Win. Rather use CDRTOOLS to burn the wav as the first audio track then the rest of the cd.

Hope this helps some!

Downsample what files needed to get data to fit on a cd.
14) Burn the first session audio file(s).
a) If the game is a non-cdda game, then:
a) Use preferred method (CDRecord, CDRWin, FireBurner) to burn the 4-second *.wav/raw file
b) if the game is a cdda game, then:
a) Use preferred method (CDRecord, CDRWin, FireBurner) to burn the *.wav files (the cdda)
c) After file(s) are burnt, get the start sector for 2nd session by:
a) Use command: cdrecord dev=x,x,x -msinfo
a) start sector will be the 2nd number (xxx, start-sector)
15) Must now point the *.bin files to the start sector.
a) Use command: hack xxxx.bin 2nd-session-start-sector
a) Normally will be something like: hack 1st_read.bin 11700
b) Goes for the following files:
a) 1st_read.bin
b) 2_dp.bin
c) Sg_dpldr.bin
d) Maigo.bin
16) Must defeat the GD protection, so the cd will load.
a) Use the command: gdhack 1st_read.bin 0
17) Put Ip.bin and 1st_read.bin in a folder, and the remaining game files in a seperate sub-folder.
18) Go to the direcory containg Ip.bin and 1st_read.bin.
a) Run binhack.exe
a) Binary File = Boot File (1st_read.bin)
b) Boot Sector = Ip.bin
c) -MSInfo # = start sector for 2nd session (xxx, start-sector)
19) Place 1st_read.bin with the other game files, in it's correct place.
a) if you are going to dummy-file the game, do so now
20) Make a *.iso of the game.
a) Use command: mkisofs -C msinfo-1,msinfo-2 -V XXX -l -o xxx.iso game-subfolder
a) Usually will be mkisofs -C 0,11700 -V GAMENAME -l -o data.iso SUBFOLDER
21) Insert Ip.bin into the *.iso file just created.
a) Run IpIns.exe
a) Boot Sector = Ip.bin
b) ISO Filename = xxx.iso
22) Burn the *.iso file with your preferred method.
a) Settings for CDRWin are:
a) Disc Type = CDROM-XA
b) Track Mode = MODE2
c) Speed = MAX Speed
d) Finalize/Close Session = Yes
e) Write Postgap = Yes
f) Open New Session = No
g) Test Mode = No
h) Verify Recorded Image = No
