DC Burning prob

[bobcoureur]

I tried to burn Ikaruga with DJ3 recently and i got some strange errors, so I decided to use CDIrip and then burn it using the method on Jules' site (Guide to make Dreamcast Selfbootable CD with Nero Burning ROM). I got two audio tracks in the first session and a data track in the second session when I extracted everything with CDIrip. Next thing I did was burning the Audio tracks and later on the patched (with the ip.bin from marcus serial slave) image. When I booted the game in my DC though, it didnt even load the Sega License screen. Instead it automatically resets the DC to the dreamcast menu. What did I do wrong? Could it be the LBA is wrong or something? It also is stated on many dc sites that a cd will need a 1st_read.bin next to a ip.bin and I didn't come across doing something with a "1st_read.bin". What is it?

I hope and think someone will help cause I need to get things straight about the 1st_read.bin stuff. Any help would be very welcome indeed.....
