CD image extension unknown (left blank) Please Help!

[samsunnyuk]

Hi, I downloaded this:

Dc Dreamcast Worms Armaggeddon Multilanguage No Selfboot Cdrwin Image-Kalisto.ace

from eMule, and I dont know how to burn it.

In the ACE archive there is a file which has been split up, so I use "HJ-Join" to join it back up. it then makes the complete file, but with no extension.

Because of this, I dont know what format the CD image is. I have tried the Nero and DiskJuggler file extensions (NRG and CDI) but Alcohol 120% says that its an invalid disk format, or something. I also have the same problem with:

-LEMAIRE- DC.-.Dreamcast.-.Virtual.On.with.CDDA.(e-voot).-.Shared.by.ElGatoAzul.rar

which was ripped by Echolen. Could someone please help me with this?!?!? Thankyou for your time

Did u tried with ISO/BIN extension?

[samsunnyuk]

Thanks for you interest DrEaMpLaY. However I have tried it and it is not an ISO file, but if it is a bin, what do I do with a bin file?
By the way, the second Cd Image i mentioned (Virtual On) has a txt file with it, claiming it is a CDI file. I have uploaded this txt file if you would like to view it. Please click here

Go to my site (link is near) and get from downloads two ISO tools: ISO Buster and CDmage - try to open ISOs with them using every type of iso extension.

ps. link for txt file is not working for me.

New link to the text file

Please click here

Right i downloaded the tools you said, and i went to open the worms image file as an ISO in IsoBuster and it said

"The Primary Volume Descriptor (PVD) is unreadable.
Read Error at address: 16
Device reported Error: 05/64/01"

then i clicked ok, and it opened it as a 1 Track image. Should i try all extensions that IsoBuster deals with?

If by "split" you mean it's in 001, 002 files, all of the same size, then I've got news for you - those are RARs.

[samsunnyuk]

OMG! Thankyou! I didnt realise this. I just went to open with... WinRAR and it worked! When i first saw the files windows suggested a program (HJ-Join) so I assumed it had2 be done with that. I suppose i could have opened the file HJ-Join made in WinRAR aswel eh.?-

Ah it looks like ive just run into another problem

After unRARed > Click for screenshot (unpack.exe made the highlighted files)

what do i do with this now? use bin2boot? if so could someone elaberate on that please

[samsunnyuk]

OK Ive worked it out now, thanks for both your help. I realised that the .CUE file includes "queing" the sound files aswel (i opened it in note pad). Would I be able to lower the quality of the sound files, or even just one of them, so that the whole game will fit onto a regular CD-R. Because at the moment it comes in at 802mb

CD Audio/BIN format are both in RAW 2352 bytes/sector, so it would appear larger than 700 MB (2048 bytes/sector).

802/2353 * 2048 = 698 MB, a perfect fit.
