Selfbooting games??

is it really nescesery? i know once i make a game self bootable it loads up without a boot cd. but if i leave it without making it selfbootable can i boot it up with utopia??? so after i rip the game and downsample the files can i burn it then without making it selfbootable hoping that i will boot up through utopia??


hope so cause making it selfbootable looks complicated , i dont know what tools i need and the echelon self boot tutorial is not clear enough for me. i am newbie and am finding it hard to get the sefboot things i need i have searched the forum with no success if you cant help me its no problem
later

Are you actually ripping the games yourself? Or are you d/l the image?

If you rip it yourself, the extra step of making a game self bootable is not difficult...

I can't believe this person can RIP a game and master all the programs required to bring it over to his PC, extract and downsample it, but he says self-booting LOOKS too complicated???

Whassup!!!? I've never ripped a game, but I've made dozens of games self-bootable. It's not a job for a moron, but it's also not rocket-science!

The easiest way to self-boot would be to do the BINHACK on IP.BIN and 1ST_READ.BIN using an MSINFO value of 0,0, copy the 1ST_READ to the data directory along with the rest of the files (less the IP.BIN) and use MKISOFS.EXE to create an ISO of the files.

Then just use IPINS.EXE to patch the IP.BIN into the ISO file and run BIN2BOOT (http://dcxeal.virtualave.net/b2b-cdda-b1.zip) on the ISO to create a bootable .CDI file - then just burn with Disc Juggler. SIMPLE!!
