whats up sega friends

ive been trying to make some of my games self bootable by using the program bin2boot gui. It works fine but every time i finish doing it, the cdi gets bigger and it wont fit on my cdrs. Like, today i was tryin to self boot Virtual Striker 2 which is about 701MB, but when i finished, it became 802MB and it didnt fit. Can someone please help me, im trying to get rid of my boot disk which is a pain in the neck.

Thanx alot.

Make sure the file is UNDER 77 mins before u use bin2boot or else it will be too big for a 80 min cd. Games like tony hawk 1 and tokyo bus guide didnt fit since they where 78/79 mins already.

Selfboot info need +/- 25 Mo.
Be sure you're game takes less space than your CDs space - 25 Mo.
If they are bigger, you'll need to delete some files and replace them by dummies, or downsample some of them. It's quite difficult the 1st time you try that, but then, it's really easy. You should find some info on how to do this around the net.
