. . . . . or i can keep it and work around the problem by not giving up !!


I'm thinking i'm going to have to convert games from selfbooting to non-selfbooting. How is this done.

I used this guide from:
http://dcxeal.virtualave.net/dgnonboot.html
this is a basic tutorial on how to make a selfboot game into a non-selfboot game. I'm using this because it states:

"Unfortunatly, there are some CDR drives that just refuse to burn the Self boot games (no matter what you try).....
Namely my Mitsumi CR-4801TE"

which ironically enought is MY BURNER !!!

So i tried using this guide step-by-step to turn the d/l of Sheumue 2 into a non-selfboot game; however, i ran into a few problems.

the first one being when i tried to convert the *.cdi file into an *.iso, i got 2 iso files and no waves (the guide says to delete the waves, but i never got any)

My second problem was working with the 1st_read.bin file.
The guide is a step by step for games that have a LBA of 11700 or 11702. The game i have has a LBA of 45000 ?!?!
So I downloaded the program "Hex Workshop 3.11" (like it said to in the guide) so i could change the 1st_read.bin file so it would be non-selfbooting. Now when i went into the program the guide says i have to so a search for: "CD001" when i have the .bin file loaded in the program. I did this and nothing happened (note: i was only working on the 2nd iso file, the 670meg one, and never touched the 60meg smaller iso file). So i tried buring the 2nd iso file, without fucking around the 1st_read.bin file and booted it up after swaping it with the bootdisc. the system loads the game 98% of the way and freezes.

can someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me out and fix my problem. the HEX program wasn't giving me a resualt after i searched for "Cd001". How do I, or what do i have to change in the 1st_read.bin file with a LBA of 45000 to make it non-selfbooting. Please, this last 2% is killing me !!!
