How can I burn w/o using discjuggler?

[Ryu1356]

the little #$@! software isnt compatible w/ my cdrw is there any other way?

http://luna.spaceports.com/~selfboot/Tutorial_Index/1/2/3/4/015.htm Discjuggler not support my cdrecorder
(don't record short audio tracks 300 sectors) ,what can i do?

1) Use CDIRIP to extract the Image, remember the LBA
In Dos Prompt type: cdirip image.cdi

*some recorders (e.g. Mitsumi and others)
don't record properly short audio tracks (300 sectors):
they all will get increased 2 sectors in size when burned.
use option "/cut",can be used to solve this issue. It will
cut the last 2 sectors of the first track so you can burn
it correctly. But you'll have to find out if your burner
needs this switch*


2) Use ISOFIX (same directory):
In Dos Prompt type: ISOFIX TDataxx.ISO FIXED.ISO [LBA-NUMBER]

Example:
(one audio-track-->tdata02.iso) second session *LBA=11700*
ISOFIX TData02.iso FIXED.ISO 11700

after thatISOFIX 'll generated a file called BOOTFILE.BIN
copy it into c:\selfboot\data\
rename BOOTFILE.BIN to IP.BIN


3) Now start ISOBUSTER and open up your ISO generated by ISOFIX, settings:
Files of Types: Creator Image (*.ISO)

select ALL files, right click on them, select extract files.
and save them in c:\selfboot\data\


4) Burn all TAudioxx.raw on CD (the correct LBA DOES matter,so cut the 2 blocks )


5) In Dos Prompt type: cdrecord -dev x,x,x -msinfo
to get the correct LBA of second session.
* x,x,x is your Recorder SCSI_BUS_ID *


6) You should now have all game data (included UNCHANGED 1st_read.bin, do NOT use binhack)
In Dos Prompt type: mkisofs -C x,y -V CDNAME -l -o data.iso data

x,y are the values CDRECORD -MSINFO gives you,it'll look like (0,11702: x=0 , y=11702)


7) Run IPINS.EXE
type in the ISO you just created (data.iso) and ip.bin

8) Now insert the CD you want to burn on, you may want to check if it has the correct LBA for real
(ex: 0,11702 or 0,11700)

9) Burn the DATA.ISO using CDRECORD or CDRWIN

CDRECORD Method:
In Dos Prompt type: cdrecord -dev=x,x,x -speed=x -xa1 data.iso


CDRWIN Method:
a) Fire up CDRWIN.
b) Click the 2nd Icon from the Top Left: "File Backup and Tools".
c) For Backup Tool/Operation: Select "Record an ISO9660 Image File".
d) For Image Filename, Choose data.iso in your "selfboot" directory.
e) Under Recording Options, Select your CD-Recorder. Check the
following options accordingly:

Disc Type: CDROM-XA
Track Mode: MODE2
SPEED: Whatever You Want
Finalize/Close Session: Yes
Write Postgap: Yes
Open New Session: No
Test Mode: No
Verify Recorded Image: No

f) Click the start button and you are burning.

Note:
My CDR can copy (cdi & Short Audio track 300sector) without any problem,
There's No point for me to use this trick ,So i can't confirm this method
work or not,but You can try if your Recorder can't burn short audio track.
Also this tutorial is form Crimson and all credit go to him.

I have all the files already BUT the IPins.exe how do I get that?

[dpaddict]

Or you could just download daemon tools from http://www.daemon-tools.com then use this neat little virtual cd rom drive, mount the .cdi image.

Then using either Blindread/Blindwrite or CloneCD make another image then burn using a different piece of software.
Only use either of these two software packages though, or one that is capable of doing a 1:1 copy. (dont use nero)

Actually on second thoughts there is a cdi2nero program that you could try, youll find it on this site.

what to burn w/?

cditonero prog doesnt work w/ this certain CDI

[Sam123456789]

OK, here you find the ipins.exe along with other "rare elements":

it is linked from this echelon selfboot tut page:

and took me just 10 sec. to search for at google. Hope it helps!! ;)


CU, Sam




To get the DC files, you can use this techniques too:

8. Lets get all the DC "program" files! We need the main executable, in most cases its the 1ST_READ.BIN or 0WINCEOS.BIN , and (if present) all the additional files and folder and the IP.BIN . Of course all these files together must not exceed the empty space of the PSX CD!

9. Get these files:
The easiest way is just insert a already selfbooting DC-CD and simple copy the files over to your harddisk. Create a folder C:\data and put all files and folders of the CD into the "data" directory.


[(9a. Only if there is no IP.BIN file present:
Save the whole DC- data session as CD-Rom Mode1 2048 ISO, open file with Hexeditor, select 32768bytes from the beginning and save these bytes as IP.BIN)]

[(9b. Only if you have a cdi ISO: Open the DC ISO with CDMage and simple extract the files. If there's no IP.BIN, right click the data track and extract as Mode1/2048. It doesn't matter if there is any "extraction error", you only need the first 32768 bytes of the whole ISO. Save them as IP.BIN)]

[(9c. Only if the DC data is in "non selfboot format" (=old utopia boot disc required format)! ThX 2 Echelon! :

Run the program BINHACK.EXE. When it prompts you for the binary file to modify, Pick the boot.bin. In most cases the boot.bin is the 1ST_READ.BIN. Just open IP.BIN with your hexeditor, look direct at the beginning, and you'll see the name of the bootfile before the last Sega string at offset 96. If it detects that the BOOT.BIN is a Windows CE Exectuable (0WINCEOS.BIN), it will not modify the 0WINCEOS.BIN. If it detects that this Executable is a normal Katana Executable, It will ask you for the previosly computed LBA number! It will then modify the BOOT.BIN according to this number. Next, It will ask you for the filename of the Bootsector. Here, you should input IP.BIN. It will hack the IP.BIN for self-boot purposes.]
