Did you try CDRWin ?

djgarf · #3 27-03-2003, 09:21

When using cdrecord make sure you don't have any SCSI/ virtual cdroms installed (like daemon tools, nero image drive, etc).

i have nero installed but i dont think i have the virtual drive installed!
the weird thing is it will scan my scsi buses and tell me what number my cd writer is on but anything else i try to get cdrecord to do it locks up my pc!

It seems that cdrecord doesn't like scsi at all

I've got a scsi burner, and cdrecord works perfectly...
I had problems with Daemons Tools => it locked my PC too.

djgarf · #11 28-03-2003, 11:01

i did a fresh install last week so daemon tools has not been reinstalled yet!
i have got alcohol 120% installed and that has a virtual drive but i did not install that until after cdrecord locked my pc a few times,also my cd writer is atapi but i meant when cdrecord does the scan for drives
this is doing my head in as i really want a selfboot copy of segagen with the lemec loader!

Why don't you use bin2boot?

djgarf · #13 29-03-2003, 05:39

can u explain how as i'm trying to follow the answers on this thread here http://www.fileforums.com/showthread...5&pagenumber=1
as they found a way to selfboot the lemec loader by binhacking 4 files instead of 1!

Infinity_Engine · #14 29-03-2003, 08:25

ok, i'll repeat what's already posted there.

Binhack 1st_read.bin to 0

then make ip.bin read only and binhack ginreset.bin, manifest.bin and mde_us.bin to 0 as well.

run bin2boot

djgarf,
if you burn a 4 second audio track, your lba
is 11700 or 11702.
(depends on software/burner)
as described in any faq.

if you know which one is right, you never ever
have to care about this for non cdda games.

by the way,
4 seconds need 300 sectors, no matter what kind of
track you use
