Converting CDI to NRG? or how to not use DJ?

[Ponybwoi]

Thanks for the advice all .. I'll try tweaking the settings a bit more.
I dont mind having to use a boot CD to get the games to work, so can anyone point me in the direction of getting the files out of the CDI so I can repack them as an NRG file? One last thing .. I do plan to get a new cd burner at some point, as my PC is way overdue for an upgrade. I'm looking to spend $200 or $250 roughly .. any suggestions?
