Hi, everyone. Is there a tool able of converting a normal DC Image (Such as a cdi) into a selfbooting image? All the tools I've seen till now (Such as selfboot inducer) are only able to BURN a Selfbooting disk. Why do you have to burn it? Is't there a way of patching a certain image directly and simply? oO

1st of all, chankast supports swapping cds, is just utopia has another bug that doenst let it work.
there is a 1st_read.bin file for everygame, ip.bin is any, some games have different names for the 1st_read.bin file, maybe a list of the files on that cd could help.

mmm, its easy, just take out ur current cd or wunmount your image, and then just insert the new one, it worked here when... okok not in game because i havent tested, i ahvent need to swap discs 
but if u do that on the bios it just read the new one and u can start it
but if u do that on the bios it just read the new one and u can start itRecognizin 1st_boot.bin
Ok, im in work right now, so i cannot paste the listing of the cd. but maybe you could help me, what is the correct manner to recognize this file (asumming it has another name), is a fixed size? by content? and viewing in ascii mode ?
thanks!!

mine is 530mb, of course i deleted the dummy file to reach that, before it was like 785 or somethen
1. mount the image (on daemon is better)
2. copy the CD content to "fastboot\Data" folder
3. copy 1st_read.bin and ip.bin from "fastboot\data" folder to "fastboot\" folder (if there is no ip.bin there is no prob)
4. run binhack with setings
4.1 binary file = 1st_read.bin
4.2 bootsector = ip.bin
4.3 msinfo = 0,0
5. after binhack copy 1st_read.bin and ip.bin to data folder again
6. run b2b_game.bat
what is the procedure after step 6?
The command prompt ask if you would like to make a Ip.BIN?
I not sure what to do next after this.

just tell it to do the ip.bin (but if it doesnt read the ip.bin on the game you either forgot to copy paste the files again to the data folder or havent run binhack or somethen) and it will create the image.cdi fileIshtar said:

yeah daemon tools 3.46 seems to have that problem, use daemon tools 3.44 and enable all the emulation options or use daemon tools 3.29.permag said:
or as talfi already said use the bootdisc loader 1.2 and swap the discs, but anyway it didnt work for me
