Space Channel 5 '1'

[DrEaMpLaY]

I have ripped my Space Channel 5. Downsampled some files an already burned to CD. It hangs on 3rd stage loading screen identically like 1st KAL relase so i need to non-alfabetically sort files (small to end and big to near start of cd) but mkisofs is working to slow. I sort files in about 2 hour and i off it. There is a faster way to make sort in iso and add dummy file to bigger than 700mb image? (i will burn it onto 99min cd-r).

I made my own rip of this game (PAL version) with no freezing problems. As I recall, I downsampled all music to 22050 stereo, and downsampled a few videos. I believe the cause of the freezing problem would be this, it just can't stream video and audio fast enough, no matter the sort order (I used the original sort order). Using a 99 minute wouldn't help, CD-R is just plain slow compared to GD-ROM.

Not sure about your mkisofs problem, what are sorting with? What's your command line?

mkisofs -C 0,0 -V CDLABEL -sort file.txt -l -o data.iso data

Well I have absolutely no idea why it would take so long (2 hours!).

bin2boot sucks, imo

No no, i using BootDreams (based on bin2boot). It can easly make audio/data, data(boot)/data and standard bin2boot's data/data(boot) from dir. It has also easy step by step guide - it working with 'normal' games and homebrews as well. It has auto dummy option and ip insert I using it because i cant get to work cdrecord on my PC. I tried everything :/

Two hours? I have 400Mhz processor

I use CDRWin. I'm actually using an old version that I hacked to work with my newer CDRW. I just prefer the manual way, so I get total control. Still can't imagine why it would take so long even on 400 mhz, unless you have an ancient slow hard disk. Mine is super fast because I have always had two HDs and always built from one to the other.
