Problem with isobuster


Recommended Posts

Alright, part or all of my problem with burning a DC disc successfully lies in isobuster and figuring this program out.

 

1) To extract the files in a *.cdi , what settings in isobuster's options do I use for configuration.

 

I.E. NFL2K1 - This *.cdi is read by isobuster and I can see and extract the files that are there. Tony Hawk PS2 - I am unable to see and extract the files that are there. What I can extract is a *.cue + *.bin or a raw *.bin image, but not the files in THPS2. What gives? This is the same for Silver and the Utopia Boot CD...NO files to be seen. My question here is why. Why can isobuster read NFL2K1 with no problems and not THPS2 or the Utopia boot Disc. Does it have to do with *.cdi version number. I.E. a *.cdi v2.0 or a *.cdi v3.0 converted disc.

 

2) I did a standard DC Discjuggler burn with Silver and my cdrom can read the cd after the burn. I did the same method with THPS2 and was unsuccessfull in my cd rom reading the disc afterwards. What's the difference?

 

3) The whole purpose is to convert games to a working non-mil cd format, so if you know someone who succesfully has done this send a transcript on how it was done.

 

Thank you...

It could totally be to do with the version of Dicjuggler used to create the CDI file(s).

Get a newer version of Isobuster or use the latest Daemon Tools and mount the CDI.

I must ask why you want to extract the files, and why you would want to make a non MIL disc? Why would you want to render a selfbooting disc, non selfbooting?

Well I have a December 2000 model Dreamcast so I follow the instructions given on making a working DC cdr for these later Dreamcast. See this http://dreamlover.tecbox.com/ and look under the section "Newer Non MIL-CD DC's and Workaround." It's vague, but that is what I have to go on. I'm also looking to make the Utopia boot CD.

 

I learnt about the Daemon Tools deal after I wrote the first stuff and that looks like it does the trick much better than isobuster. By the way I use all the current editions of all the programs mentioned in the the guides forums and or discussion. Unfortunately, I have more questions than answers so not everything given is as such as I am able to grasp the concept. Basically I'm lost...

 

When I'm done and successfull at burning the Utopia boot CD and Games to run on My December 2000 Dreamcast. I plan to rewrite the manual on how it's done. Today, the concept looks easier using Nero and Alcohol120% and Daemon Tools then with isobuster and Discjuggler, but I'll find out in the end. First I need to succeed, and for that I need more specific answers. So any experience users Ideas are welcomed here, I give credit to all for there help.

 

Thanks.

Well it's a new day with more knowledge, but unfortunatly no success.

 

I found out why isobuster does not read the *.cdi file our TData02.iso file correctly. It has to do with the data track position on the image. The LBA number needs to correspond correctly to the data track. That is what isofix is for.
