Success with burning bin/cue images!!!!!!!

[steviept]

I was having significant problems burning bin/cue images with cdrwin and fireburner. I could not get anything to burn successfully. Incidently, my utopia boot disk (nero version) worked fine (I had someone who had working bin/cue DC games to test it). After much frustration and testing I found a method that worked for me. Maybe it will work for you too.

1. I open/load the cue sheet (you will get bin/cue files after you unrar the isos you download from the internet) in Fireburner (i.e. right click in the white space and select load cue). Once the bin file is shown in the white space select it and right click and select save as iso.

2. Once it is saved as an iso image, open this image in isobuster and extract it to any folder you have created. You should have a list of files that make up the game.

3. a. Burn these files in nero 5 by selecting burn new CDROM (ISO).
b. In the multisession tab select no multisession.
c. In the file options tab if none of the filenames go over 8
characters select iso level 1 if they do select iso level 2.
Select format as Mode 1. The character set is ISO 9660 and
Joliet remains checked. The rest remains unchecked.
4. Enter anything you want in the volume descriptor.
5. Don't change the date.
6. In the burn tab check write and finalize. Make sure everything else is unchecked. You can also check test/simulation if you wish...i try to limit the number of coasters I make so I check this option! However, burned 3 bin/cue images in a row without any problems.
7. Click new.
8. Select and drag all of the iso files to the compilation window.
9. Highlight all files, except the dummy file (if there is one) and right cleck and select properties/priority/high...make sure all files and folders (if there are folders) are prioritized high as well.
10. Prioritize the dummy file as low.
11. Click on the burn button and wait for awhile!!!

I should mention that the instructions for burning images in nero was taken from Speed-Loading by EVA-ONI on DC COPY WORLD.

Now if someone could help me with those blasted cdi files and discjuggler I'd be set! Please see my other post DISC JUGGLER STRIKES AGAIN if you think you might be able to help me! Thanks. Let me know if the above instructions work for you.
